This album was my introduction into Metallica!

[@purplebeard1526]

My intro was the video for One, but this was my first Metallica album. I ran that tape into the ground. Once I got a CD player it was acquired immediately.

so fucking what?!?

[@thrashmetalambassador]

One of the best metal albums ever made.

[@chrisheathcote3697]

I agree!

[@johnnyg2002]

Arena Rock Albums, 😜

[@graemeknowles1431]

Yea man. I love the riffs on all songs. Enter Sandman Sad But True. And Kirk's solo on The Unforgiven are great moments.

[@lucalone]

it's so nice to see Scott Reeder so happy with his super deluxe edition of metallica's black album after being rejected in the bass auditions in 2003^

[@BlackWings91]

No Struggle Within lyrics in the copy I got, if you look at the lyric folder, underneath Kirk’s signature it says “Struggle?!” So I’m guessing there wasn’t one to begin with. Fantastic box set, well worth the money.

[@ultrasuede7757]

Correct -- those lyrics couldn't be found.

[@alexroyster182]

I got mine early on Wednesday afternoon and I'm so stoked to have this behemoth of a set. I will not be wasting my time with the Blacklist. No reason

[@dwaynegarfield1551]

A MASTERPIECE ALBUM! THIS ALBUM GOT ME THROUGH ALOT OF SHIT! FORGET THE HATERS!!!GO ON AND PICK ON ANOTHER BAND!!! METALLICA FOREVER!!!

[@VadersRage]

The Metal Gods delivered mine this past Thursday. Had a REAL tough time not smudging the vinyl with my grubby hands. My 17 year old and her boyfriend witnessed my unboxing. They were baffled by the concept of a vinyl disc (I failed as a parent😁). Daughter wanted to know where in the "Metallica Shrine" this was going to be displayed. I didn't tell her that the "Justice" box set was on its way, too. I'll find the room!

[@denielledowell6652]

Thank you so much for this! I missed the availability for purchase, but, this album was my intro to Metallica. I am so proud and excited for this renewal💜!

[@SaintMartins]

Brilliant. Your unboxing videos are the best on youtube. A+

[@TheReviewLabOfficial]

I remember waiting in line for the album. It was a long ass line too. Once I got home I played the hell of that cassette tape. Love this band so Much.

[@Kinnakeeter]

I got the 3 CD deluxe edition and I absolutely adore it

[@aidangoodluck170]

Great unboxing vid. My copy arrived today, couldn't believe the weight of it!

[@chuck0110]

killer channel man! What a amazing box set, I think they should of included a cassette tape🤘🏼

[@OldHead]

Yeah that would have been cool. Thanks for watching!

[@bagofbones95]

Awesome box, thanks for unboxing. I'm most excited about the DVD gig from Copenhagen, 'cause it was my first time seeing Metallica live.

[@michaellandrumguitar]

very nice im speechless i can't wait to get my hands on one ,what a great idea from metallica

[@DeathPenny]

I did not get Struggle within lyrics, which is why I was watching your vid - to see if it was included in other peoples box sets - so far you are the only other person to go through all the lyric sheets on camera

[@668_neighbor_of_the_beast6]

Very cool. According to tracking, I should have mine today. Look forward to breaking into it.

[@debonaire_nerd]

*Black Album Deluxe Packaging Aesthetic:* Blacker than the blackest of blacks *Load Deluxe Packaging Aesthetic:* Uuummmmmm.........

[@purplebeard1526]

I got the remaster ex. ed and the blacklist on order from Amazon... can't wait till I get all of it as I got updated by amazon about the blacklist part being delayed in shipping. My gateway album into Metallica and also I'd say one of their best overall albums from beginning to end.

[@happyhippythevinylguy]

Looks like a great box set for any fan of that album!! I'm not really a Metallica fan even though I have respect for them 🎸

[@More-Cowbell-SlideGuitar-Harp]

Great job! Lifetime's worth of material! And just wish Metallica included the alternative instruments/recordings of songs they did as shown in the Year & Half dvd i.e. when Lars experimented with cowbells, tambourines, maracas & when they used keyboards/synthesisers

[@kimfarr5399]

I wish they would put out Pantera box set like this and I must say the Metallica unboxing is probably the best as far as what you get for your for your bank...also big Helmet and prong fan as well

[@Isuckatvideogames210]

The Metallitape Edit: I got one but I’m away from home rn so I can’t dig in yet. So I’m watching this. Getting home tomorrow morning so I can’t wait 🤘🏼

[@johnconway7484]

I just got my cassette tape today.. sounds killer.

[@rodge816]

It will take me forever to go through all of mine. Had to watch the outtakes first.

[@deathmetalelitist666]

Not my favorite Metallica album but they went all out on this set \M/

You got the live shit and the studio S.H.I.T.!

Awesome box set. All i bought was the three disc cd version of this. Wish they would have put one of the dvds with it tho.

[@djmatthewcarreon]

Cool video

[@graemeknowles1431]

Very cool man. I couldn't afford this big boy version...... Got the 3CD version.......Enjoy brother.👍

[@invisiblekid99]

This is huge set content-wise. I've recently moved the collection and the last two are weighty buggers!

[@acauld2404]

"The things that were hidden underneath " is that a new unreleased track? 22:43

[@OldHead]

It’s a pretty good title.

[@jamesdalzell6741]

i watched the wherever i may roam it was awesome a good 3 hours of random songs from random places, sound was amazing.

[@sirspookybones1118]

Metallica knows how to please the nerds with all the random crap after the book. Also what's there to remaster with The black album? Already sounds awesome

[@rahimichannel7490]

My all time fav album

[@luzkenin]

I got the box set and I still watched this vid.

[@ModernDayWarrior2112]

I don’t know why, maybe it’s the OCD collector in me, but when I see someone rip the plastic off and just even sort of crumple up the hype sticker, it makes me cringe. That’s no slam on you, it’s your box set and can do what you want to it, but it just makes me shutter lol. Still a great video though. I actually just got the box today. I know, I’m about a year and a half late, but I found it for a price I couldn’t refuse. Cheers ❤

[@tommybenitez3319]

The puppets box set is the best out of all of them

[@emmetbrown_]

For real

[@calvinchong2772]

The main album of the cover should be in double side gatefold cover, put the double album on each side

[@brutalmorality5885]

Got mine today as well..................

[@dagsouleyedblue407]

Look, i love Metallica and this set looks like complete quality in execution but i gotta couple of gripes: the interview discs and overabundance of demos, imho one spin only material. Main gripe though is the pricetag (of course!) and / in relation to availability. I know its business but it won't help making it accessible for every fan who's interested , which should be a lot of folks

[@moondawwg]

You did good at not getting the Blacklist one, that's just so bizarre. Great idea, terrible execution imo.

[@phantxm_fxrce3071]

The blacklist it's just terrible terrible. There's a ton of shit there

[@VadersRage]

@@phantxm_fxrce3071 Just hearing Miley Cyrus sing her contribution was cringe-worthy. I knew it would be a HARD pass after that one. Talk about "jumping the shark".

[@tigrou1426]

Yeah, it's a bit bizarre to get so many versions of each song, no way that can be a sit-through listening! Especially given that there are so many different styles and genres, nobody is going to like everything. So, I was on your side, but... decided to take the leap, as it is 100% a charity event, and there might be 2-3 good covers in there that make it worth the money.

[@tigrou1426]

@@phantxm_fxrce3071 Partly agreed... lots of "not my taste" in there, but also at least a few good ones, that all in all make it worth the $$$ for a 100% charity event.

[@moondawwg]

@@tigrou1426 Which ones do you think are worth a listen? No way I wanna get through all of them, I'd rather skip right to the decent ones.

[@beny.7574]

Kudos to you for having the guts to break the shrink wrap on your copy. I shall not be breaking my shrink wrap until my grandson asks me about the weird box on the wall when I'm 70 years old.

[@OldHead]

This entire comment is baffling to me.

[@captaincreosote]

To pay and not to play is to pay for nothing.

[@kilroy4103]

My Amazon order was delayed as I supposed to get my copy today. Amazon told me that’s it’s sold out, but how can a preorder get sold out? Now I have to wait until October for mine to arrive. Glad you got yours early.

[@joshkaye5303]

Hope you got 2 because keeping that Tallica Tape intact will be worth a mint in time

[@OldHead]

Thanks, but I don’t buy things just to sell them later.

[@tigrou1426]

You almost got me here. But no, I am still waiting for mine to arrive, so... I'll open mine first when it's here, and will be back soon after to watch your unboxing reaction (and get a brief nostalgia!) Gotta make some space on that shelf, in the meantime... ;)

I received mine yesterday. It also didn't include "Struggle Within" in the lyric pages

[@AndDeathForAll82]

I really fucked up not getting these

[@TheKvn91]

"Struggle" is not in the lyrics sheets, because it wasn't found anywhere. And the Moscow show is not available on DVD, because the tapes can't be found either.

Dude how did you like it from the original 1991 black album bro??? By the way you did a great review man rock on 🤟🏻🤟🏻wish I could get this bad boy man maybe and hopefully I still can brotha

would have made me laugh if it was a empty box watch you freak there are a few things missing from this set the disc from the good the bad live boxset which had harvester,one,breadfan and last caress live and the unforgiven picturedisc drawn by james

[@-izzyensley-6081]

When I first met metallica I thought it wasn’t a metal band because of some of the songs of this album

[@tommandeno4571]

Looks amazing! I ordered mine through Rhino but has now been delayed even thought I pre-ordered it a while ago. Not sure why that is🤨. By the way, not that matters, but does anyone know how the numbered set thing works? If you order early, do you get a lower number or does it not work like that? Just curious.

[@sirspookybones1118]

I reckon the numbering is just for production, it's probably random what number you get.

[@Ahfurfuksek]

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on the remaster sound. Loving the box set, bought it for all the extras mostly but I don’t think the remaster sounds even close my original 1st press. Although that press is fairly crackly having been played to death in my teen years with little care, it still has a punch that this doesn’t? Not ragging on it…. It’s all good but if someone can explain? Is it a case that it is remastered to suit digital rather than vinyl? Not sure. Great unboxing though - love it! 🤘🏻

[@OldHead]

Honestly, I’m not very interested in listening to the remaster. I’m sure I will, but it’s last on my list of things from this box.

[@Ahfurfuksek]

Yeah, totally get that and having listened understand why…. unfortunately my (anal-retentive) nature won’t allow me to do anything other than listen to it in the order it was boxed 🤦‍♂️.

[@bradbradley8839]

I have an original and bought this super deluxe. The remaster sounds incredible on vinyl. I’m gonna play my original this weekend to compare but the drum separation is mind blowing.

[@Ahfurfuksek]

Yeah, I’ll admit I’ve maybe jumped the gun a bit. I’ve listened a couple of times since and it’s certainly better than I first thought. Still, having played them “side by side” I still think the original is better, the bass is maybe slightly punchier but overall not wildly different. No doubt about it though, the whole thing kicks a whole lot of ass!

[@MrOztrailGuy]

Is it 180g Vinyl ? Or standard vinyl

I didn’t. It was already built this way.

[@WonHakWoon]

The Blacklist album isn't worth it to get, like how awful do you want to covers to be like? Great job for not buying that one. Anyways, I can't wait to get mine. I also have the 3CD on the way, which will come in tomorrow. My boxset will arrive in the next few weeks, can't wait :D
