Metallica on Master of Puppets on Stranger Things, M72 World Tour & First Albums They Ever Bought

[@brentjauch3576]

Im 24 years old... I never thought I'd ever get to even see them in person. I was there in the audience today to see this in person and I was honestly so starstruck. They've been doing this longer than I've been alive!! Edit: I'm 26 now and thanks for 4.3k likes.

Metallica did not need Stranger Things to keep their legacy alive, but it's exciting to know that their music has been exposed to a new generation of fans. I heard Master of Puppets when I was a teenager and I thought it was one of the heaviest songs I ever heard. Never thought it would go as mainstream as it did with ST. Rock on🤘

Alot of songs on ST came back in a big way and Ive noticed that almost ALL if Netflix originals have alot of music in them that it is obvious they are trying to use it as a Music discovery platform as well which is great!

It’s so rare to find a band that has stayed together for 40 years and are still as successful as they are. There of been bands that had a good run for about 15 years and then broke up for five or six years and got back together, but I think they’re the only band that has just consistently kept going like they have on the level they are at. For good reason too. If you see them live, you will understand why their fan bases as loyal as we are.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

That's so strange to me. I eventually discovered Metallica and GNR but I listen to black metal and it's not like I want to become a satanist or burn down churches. I just find the music to have more raw power and energy and even more "fun" than most popular metal... so it's strange to me to read that gangsta rap would actually affect you to go down a different path. Is there no way to disconnect the imagery with the music and just enjoy the genre for what it is? Or is gangsta rap really that convincing?

[@Talons13]

Wow bro, I have a similar story growing up, listening to gangsta rap, hanging out with people the same, bad neighborhoods. Met a dude around my age at that time that played guitar, I just happened to walk by him and he was playing the nice/flamenco guitar part in To Live Is To Die, and I told him, "teach me that, it's the most beautiful thing I ever heard, I have to know how to play it", he did and I started playing guitar that day and every day after that. To Live Is To Die by Metallica saved my life! Started playing guitar at 15. I'm 43 now and still play.

I sincerely appreciate it when bands write and play some incredibly powerful, energetic or even brutal stuff, but are really just kind people. Kalmah is an example, they just want to go hunting and they still keep their day jobs cutting down trees and stuff (at least I think that's what they do lmao). It's the Axl Roses of the metal world that kinda bring stuff down once in a while. I think even Nergal from Behemoth is, in general, a nice guy, he's mainly angry at the backwardness of Poland I think. Doesn't really hold a grudge against anyone else.

@@EmpyreanLightASMR For sure. I like most music, just have a hard time with really loud stuff in my old age. Grew up with a wide variety. Heavy metal, hard rap and twangy country are not on my list though. To each their own though! ✌️

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

@@absatwell8163 I hear you. Driving with loud music messed me up for years but it's also taken years to heal/diminish the ringing sounds (I forget the word now). I'm ok with twangy country haha. if the song is catchy and has a bit of effort put into the composition, I'll usually like it.

[@smi7ylover701]

I played this song with 12 other schools marching bands just about a month ago and it sounded amazing with over 300+ people

[@berkc06]

Craig Ferguson's Metallica Week was amazing. Good old days.

[@Ahoi7771]

I was at both of their concerts in Athens in 1999 and 2007. I grew up with them; they've always been and still is my favorite band.

[@Sawmule1]

I hope that All nightmare long is finally played live, last time was 2016 😢

[@chrism.4912]

I saw them in 1986 at the San Diego Sports Arena. They opened for Ozzie. It was amazing. Ozzie was pissed when he finally came out for his set as the encores Metallica did went on and on and on. The best concert I have ever seen. It was beyond epic.

[@SaartjeandRufus]

that is amazing man. congratz

[@valeriehawkins8702]

I love Metallica from the moment I first heard For Whom The Bell Tolls when it was first released a long long long time ago!!! The sound was so different from anything I ever heard before and it is absolutely still 🔥to this day!!!

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

First song I learned by ear all the way through, around 1988! Me and a drummer friend did that, Seek and Destroy and Fade to Black in jr. high

[@valeriehawkins8702]

@@valeriehawkins8702 We taped a embarrassing dorky cover on VHS and showed it in class as part of a history lesson. I don't have the hilarious scripted beginning wearing togas and talking about the Oracle of Delphi but it cut to a "dream sequence" of the future just so we could spam the class with our heavy metal, haha! Check it out...

Saw them in Seattle and it was one of the greatest weekends of my life🤟🏼 long live Metallica

[@FatJoker0]

Said it before, will say it forever: there is rock bands and there is METALLICA 🤘

[@James-hh1lq]

And there are metal bands also out there

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

There's also country-western bands... and Metallica.

[@hellfirepictures]

I first came across Metallica 20 years and 357 days ago. I've seen them live countless times on three continents and some of my best photography was of them. I became a Metal Photographer and Journalist because of them, set up my own metal webzine because of them, learned to play guitar because of them, and became a band manager because of them. Their impact on so many people has been vast. Long Live Metallica!

[@DylanRiley2011]

This is such a fantastic interview; the chemistry among them is so good and natural. The vibe is so good. These guys are also essentially solely responsible for my interest in learning and mastering guitar. The new stuff is pretty good, but as others have said, just seeing them in shape this good is really inspiring regardless.

[@EmpyreanLightASMR]

Eeeenh, I don't want to take anything away, glad you enjoyed it. To me, it's not that good of an interview, it's just an intro to them playing for the week. You're not really learning anything new. And Kirk and Rob are blatantly in "their place," in the back, quiet. It's great they're still together, but you're looking at a very obvious hierarchy. But they do seem healthy and happy.

Of the big three in late-night network talk shows,I'm glad this Jimmy got Metallica. He is the best,and most deserving of the honor.

Nothing quite like the energy of 'Enter Sandman' playing at a VT home game.....Having marched in the MV's for years and being on the field when it all busts loose, nothing like it!

[@IguanoTwix6942]

Metallica is the reason why I play guitar now. Seeing them at the Kimmel Backlot last album cycle was such a dream come true for a kid in their 20s! 🤘
