Metallica is a whole nother level. They have such depth. There are so many layers to their songs. Imo there is no band better. I know all the greats and there is a good argument that Metallica is the greatest band ever. They could cover any band , but not just any band can cover their music. Next level band.

Harvester Of Sorrow by Metallica...one of their best

Harvester of sorrow, one, and frayed ends of sanity are probably my favorite.

Without a doubt!

[@dccraig03]

This is fact!

[@miconis123]

It's the first metal album I owned

[@danielwagerman9524]

I've always loved this song's deceiving soft intro, and then it smacks you in the face. And the lyrics are Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the battery.

[@RobSquadReactions]

The intro was beautiful then boom straight into rocking!

[@NeverTrustGhost]

The title refers to Battery Street in San Francisco. It was on this street that many of the clubs where Metallica first played were situated. "Battery is found in me" shows that these early shows on Battery Street were important to them. Battery is where "lunacy finds you" and you "smash through the boundaries."

[@JRcomments]

I assume Battery St. at Broadway when it used to be at the bottom of "the strip".

[@Alex-sm5vu]

Not disagreeing with you, but I personally look at it as Metallica comparing themselves to an artillery battery.

[@vanceharkema5131]

Thats how i always took it. Another military themed song.​@@Alex-sm5vu

[@Chicagodog-tu1ek]

James Hetfield also said that the Metallica fans are the "Battery" that fuels them during their shows.

[@payleighsteele1540]

I consider Broadway the epicenter of the 80s thrash scene. The Stone was THE club to see thrash shows. It was glorious 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@darkiee69]

That whole album is a master piece they have yet to surpass.

[@michaelevans1193]

I am not a fan of Metallica’s music, but I am a fan of the band. Not only have they been awesome at feeding their connection with my Alma Mater (Va Tech) through Enter Sandman, but when a Tech student was abducted after a Metallica concert at UVA, they went out of their way to help draw attention to the case, which lead to the recovery of the body and eventual conviction of her killer. These gentlemen seem to be class acts and I will always support their work, even if I am not a fan of their genre of music.

[@shelbyatwell5883]

I will be sticking around to support you. I always want to keep it positive. And you definitely make me smile everyday, so thank you Jay.

[@dccraig03]

Do "Disposable Heroes" off this album next if you want to hear some crazy drums.

[@aftonair]

Disposable Heros of Hiphopricy?

[@SN-dy4lb]

^ Agreed. 8 minutes of pure insanity about the American soldier. Do a video with lyrics. Seeing the lyrics in front of you makes this song hit twice as hard.

El hombre batería de Metallica fue grabado en su cabina de ensayo sin que él se diera cuenta, estaba tocando este tema y decidieron ponerle un metrónomo para ver como eran sus golpes de bateria, era un calco del "tempo" del metrónomo, lo hizo exacto todo el tiempo

[@mikecrider8478]

You should check out the live version of this song from the Seattle '89 concert. Hearing the song is one thing, but seeing it performed live during their peak is something to behold. The entire Seattle show is them at their very best.

[@usmarine1]

Ya know, I’ve been watching this channel for some time and find it so cool to see you out of your wheelhouse and discovering metal,, specifically Thrash metal. I’m at the age where I was fortunate enough to see many of these bands back when they were all younger and wilder. But getting to see younger people discover them and actually like the music is pretty wild in itself. Continue to enjoy, explore, and rock on, young brother. Horns up 🤘🏼

[@magnificentfailure2390]

Metallica with Cliff Burton was the greatest show I ever went to. They opened for Ozzy in Long Beach, 1986. Three months later, Cliff died on my birthday. It still hurts to think about it.

Saw the same show on Long Island in April 1986. Friggin amazing energy!!

Hey Jay. I havent been commenting lately as Ive had some issues. I realize you also have had your own. Just know that whatever you are dealing with will pass and things will get better. It may not seem that way but trust me. Just be you and each day will slowly get better! Keep rocking! Happy New Year!

YES one of the best Metallica songs out there that doesn’t get mentioned enough. So much energy in this one

[@cimerians]

The entire band peaked here on Cliff Burtons final album RIP. Every song on this album and Ride the Lightning are the best ever.

[@aisportsnetwork7097]

... and justice for all. Was Burton's last. They were on tour in Sweden for the album when their bus flipped.

Okay, double checked, he died during recording, so he's not on the entire album, just part of it. 75% right is still a C though, and I'll take it 😂

[@007smithson]

This song is my “bad day at work/drive home with thrash to feel better song”.

[@boywonderrr71]

YES!! Excellent Album!! I love all their early stuff. I love Battery, Seek & Destroy, For Whom The Bells Toll, and soo many more. Puppets, Kill em All, Garage inc, Ride, And Justice for Jason and Black are my favorites. Not much into their last 10 yrs. A few bangers but more rock not Thrash.

[@AB-ef7ud]

I bought the Garage Days 598 ep cassette tape when it first came out. Now, this is the original, not the 1998 cd version that they released. Those songs were the beginning for me over 40 years ago.

[@DavidMEvans-nf7nv]

That reaction when the intro goes from the acoustic melody to the electric sledgehammer was priceless!!

[@Alex-sm5vu]

First Mettalica song I ever heard back in 1994 at the Grade 6 end of year party. Yeah we had a cool teacher, after this album he ran to his car to grab Nirvana's Nevermind cassette tape.

[@BaccarWozat]

One of my favorites of theirs. Another is "The Day That Never Comes", whose middle section is much faster than anything else they've ever done.

[@Kuesel68]

One of their best songs and from their best albums.

[@ChrisB-yv1sj]

Happy New Year, buddy

[@tomsmith-rr6ch]

Jay just wishing you and the family an amazing new year with health, happiness, and true joy in each other. As i watch your reactions to these video's it brings me back to my youth of the 80's. An amazing time for music. I was diagnosed in August with ALS (Lou Gehrig's) disease, but watching your reaction just brings a smile to my face. Thank you. your joy in finding new music a blessing. I remember the first time i seen Metallica Dave was still with them. It was at a place called the Fountian casino in New jersey even then you knew they were special.

[@jeremyhammond6540]

Jay, you can never go wrong with anything on this album, but "Battery" is a great song to get your blood pumping. On another note, I will still continue to request "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Iron Maiden.

[@toddpatrick8254]

[@James-k8l8d]

They were between 19&24 years old when they wrote and played this...🥳

19? I don't think so. All in their 20s

[@theendcommune]

they were all around 23-24 years of age when MoP came out in '86

[@DarthMohammedRules]

Yeah, back in the late 80s, Duracell and Energizer had this big rivalry. And here we are now, however many years later, with Energizer coming out on top, for sure, undisputed! That's just how it was back when I was kid. Still true to this day!!

[@tipigi3570]

Back in 1986, a friend of mine told me that he was sure that I'd like this group (I was into Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, etc), so I bought Master of Puppets without ever hearing a song of theirs. I remember opening the casette, and putting it into the car stereo. This is song #1 on that album so this was the very first Metallica song that I ever heard. The song Master of Puppets was #2 so it was next. Needless to say, I was blown away by them, and had never heard anything so heavy or fast before. Check out "Orion" from the same album. It's an instrumental masterpiece!

[@jamesheal8157]

I love Metallica, they are my number 1 but I never thought of them as fast. I guess because I heard Slayer first? Black Magic was the first thrash metal I ever heard.. I was sold. Then I heard Kill 'em all and Metallica went straight to number 1

My junior year in high school me and two friends broke our school record for most days in a row going to school drunk. This album was our soundtrack. They'd get to my house and I'd have a glass of lemonade and 190 proof Everclear ready for each of us. We'd do a straight shot of Everclear and use the lemonade mixture as a chaser (sometimes through a straw) and immediately headbang hard starting with this song. Stupid, but great, memories.

[@bradpriebe9218]

Their first full album, Kill 'Em All pretty much defines pure speed metal. It's well produced but you can tell they're young by their raw energy (I like the whole album but check out Whiplash specifically). The next 2 albums (Ride The Lightning and this one) show why they're considered perhaps the biggest metal band ever and add a lot more musicianship to the base of speed metal.

[@kerrihennebury7616]

Kirk Hammet, is without a doubt, one of the best guitarists. I love how he’s not afraid to go from classical guitar with Spanish influence, to straight up shredding the electric. Bad ass 🤘 🎸
