"Take a look at the sky just before you die; it's the last time you will," Best line of the song!

[@DanAnkers]

I love the way he pronounces the word sky. That's one of my favorite lyrics of all time the whole thing.

[@AgentLemmon]

true, only he says He will

[@larsbonzai]

😁 This is what friends and I listened to right before we bungee jumped...

[@jacksontr7456]

The drums that follow 🔥

[@ymfemptyb6967]

gives me chills every time

[@gyanez01]

Let me tell you something. I am 52 years old now and in the Fall of 1984 while getting super high in a 1974 Monte Carlo a friend of mine passed a cassette tape to me and said "Put this on! You are not going to believe it." We put Ride the Lightning in the cassette deck and responded with the exact same smile you did. Metallica can be life changing. In an Era of Hair Bands and key-tairs their anthems changed everything. I'm glad you liked it - that smile and head bang says it all.

[@timgalyan5608]

G, I'm 49. Mine was Master in 86. They changed it all of for me. 🤘🏻

[@cullertransportation]

I'm 44 it was the black album in 91 that hooked me. Turned me into a metal fan and away from country. Now at 44 I still love Metallica but I went back to my roots

[@BlackieNuff]

My introduction to Metallica was Am I Evil. I didn't know it was a cover and my initial mental image of the band was something akin to Venom (another "Satanic" band), but then I heard Fight Fire With Fire and Whiplash, and a few others from the first 2 albums, and soon realized they were NOT "Satanic" (but I still pictured them in Venom-esque outfits/gear, like spandex pants, spiked belts and gauntlets, no shirts, etc, lol)... then I saw a photo of the band and was surprised to see they were just 4 "kids" in denims and rock shirts, lol. What a great time for music.

[@fartzr.schmelli3351]

Ride the Lightning was the first I heard of Metallica. Master is dream come true!! Those two albums.... Who knew!!!

[@heatherryan9820]

I'm only 37 and my first Metallica record was the black album, but what sold me on them being my favorite was And Just For All album, that was my favorite.

[@shawn.m.schmidt]

They were some well-read young men. This song was inspired by a Hemingway novel of the same title.

[@christopherlopez8541]

Yes! This. One of my all-time favorite authors. Sitting here with my Hemingway "For Whom the Bell Tolls" t-shirt on. And grown up with Metallica. I was fortunate enough to see Cliff when they opened for Armored Saint in LA.

[@lorenzsabbaer7725]

highly recommend reading the book, i did as a young fella cause of the song!

[@mattm402]

One was another. I became a Dalton Trumbo fan after reading Johnny got his gun.

[@da751]

and Hemingway, also very well read, took the line from a John Donne poem..."And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee".... reading truly doesn open your world up... I'm 45 and first discovered Hemingway when I was a teenager thanks to Metallica

Id say master of puppets is the best. But my favourite is fade to black

[@gregblau8082]

I’d say you both have a valid point. How hard this song comes in is classic but the build up in Fade to Black epitomizes Metallica.

[@Cyborg_Lenin]

@@gregblau8082 there is one thing about fade to black that just annoys me. The transition between parts. It just fades between two tracks, no build-up no connection, just a different part starts. And from people who made master od puppets, you expect great transitions.

[@ll7868]

Based on the Ernest Hemingway novel, it's about the suicide mission of a soldier sent to blow up a bridge during the Spanish Civil War. In the end he sacrifices himself after having his legs blown off, as well as obliterating the horse he was riding, and faces down the enemy while his team escapes, fade to black. There's a 1943 movie starring Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman as well.

[@brodymcbrayer650]

Blow your mind when you realize that the initial guitar sounding riffs are actually a bass guitar with the wah wah pedal bending the hell out of those chords.

[@musicfornoone]

Dude. You make all the sense. I absolutely love seeing the smile hit your face when the brutal parts hit. And not just in this song, just in general. You get it and it's apparent. Love your vids man. Besides my father, James Hetfield is the reason I'm a musician today. Your channel makes me happy man. Keep it up.

[@scottclark3761]

You ought to chek out the lyrics, too. They are as deep as the music, a lot of the time. Metallica!!!

[@ps5392]

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Make his fight on the hill in the early day Constant chill deep inside Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey On they fight, for their right, yes, but who's to say? For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know Stiffened wounds test their pride Men of five still alive through the raging glow Gone insane from the pain that they surely know [Chorus] For whom the bell tolls Time marches on For whom the bell tolls [Verse 2] Take a look to the sky just before you die It's the last time you will Blackened roar, massive roar fills the crumbling sky Shattered goal fill his soul with a ruthless cry Stranger now are his eyes to this mystery Hears the silence so loud Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

They made the bell sound by hammering an anvil. They didn’t have money for an actual bell in those days.

[@seandobson6221]

Actually there is an instrument they could snag from any Hugh school band that’s like chimes. It looks a wind chime but obviously it’s and instrument that would produce that exact noise.

That's awesome seeing a brother headbang! Rock on!! The song is about the book by Earnest Hemingway called for whom the bell tolls telling about an American Professor who was recruited to lead a band of soldiers to blow a bridge in the Spanish/Italian war. The part about looking to the sky was when he was hit by shrapnel and was laying there dying but still fighting. Good book.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Lar Ulrich said that he & James Hetfield (vocals & guitar) talked a lot about death in 1984, so Metallica's 2nd album 'Ride the Lightning' had a lot of songs about death (Even the instrumental 'The call of Ktulu' was in that theme - 'The thing that should not be' was the song based on 'Ktulu' on 'Master of Puppets') So the 8 tracks were about nuclear war, execution by electric chair, casualties of war, suicide, death by natural disaster, the biblical seven plagues... etc.

The protagonist is an explosives expert and he is assigned to blow up a bridge during an attack on the city of Segovia. The story is his personal account
