Who the hell just thinks of Cliff as the guy who died in Metallica? EVERYONE knows that he was the greatest metal bassist of all time.

[@JGarrison51285]

JonV facts

[@bridges4232]

Him and Steve Harris are legends

[@sirspookybones1118]

@@bridges4232 they're probably my favourite bassists along with Ellefson

[@sophiecat14]

Mine are Cliff, Steve & Geddy Dude is seriously wrong in anyone thinking of Cliff as some guy in Metallica that died. 🙄

[@Top10Dylan]

More like the best musician of all time.

Those fans exist for every single good band tbh

[@HelloZukoHere7]

Master Of Puppets Is a Masterpiece, Not a Second wasted. In all honesty Orion may be the most perfect song ever made haha.

[@RockedNet]

+Bengie “Sawyer” Macfarlane I love that Metallica has played Orion more at shows over the past few years.

[@ZoanBlade90]

+Rocked Reviews What are your thoughts on Death Magnetic?

[@patricklauer4452]

ZoanBlade90 yeah I would like to his thoughts on death magnetic that album so FUCKING underrated people always put it near the bottom of their favourite Metallica album's list honestly I think it's better than st. anger ( just to let anyone know I don't hate this album) hardwired to self destruct... (this album got a bit too long and I was a bit board and tired after listening to it) load (same problem as hardwired) and reload ( a bit better than load) PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE ALBUM MORE LOVE!!!!

[@SeanStrife]

This album was their best album ever, and I'll go on a limb and say "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" is their magnum opus.

[@Jamie16611]

@@SeanStrife actually out of the first 4 ballads that Metallica made (Fade to Black, Welcome Home(Sanitarium), One and The Unforgiven) I think welcome home is probably the weakest, it’s certainly powerful and a great listen but doesn’t pack the same punch as the others, Fade to Black and Unforgiven are so good as well but if I had to pick a favourite it would be One, I think that song is my favourite song ever, I mean if you want to go off solos One is the strongest and Welcome home is the weakest, if you want to go on riffs Unforgiven is the weakest and fade to black is the strongest, if you want to go on lyrical themes, You can’t choose. If I were to rank them it would go like this 1 One 2 Fade to Black 3 Unforgiven 4 Welcome home But they are all fucking incredible

[@bickltravis]

So, I'm a 4th type Metallica fan: I love Metallica and I appreciate their versatility (without necessarily thinking that everything they have made is good)

[@AJEDDY97]

I HAVE FOUND MY PEOPLE!

[@bdr113080]

I fall in that category too. I think when people say that they sold out I don’t think they really understand what selling out is. Their definition of selling out is Metallica making music they don’t like. I think selling out is doing what everyone else wants you to do because you’re scared to death to do anything but that and you’re scared your Fanbase is going to reject you. Metallica have never been that band. I think the other part of selling out is doing some thing for money but if that was their intention I don’t think they did that with the load albums because the only album load out sold when it came out was Kill Em All. There are two highest selling albums are The Black Album and Justice and it would’ve been really easy for them in the mid 90s to try to make a mix of those two albums just to keep mostly everybody happy but I would rather an artist, not just Metallica but any artist do what they are really feeling even if I don’t like it then do something that’s not from the heart while they’re just trying to please other people. They are my favorite band but I’m not a fan of St. Anger but if that’s what they were feeling at the time and that’s what they needed to put out. But I also don’t make it my life mission to go online and attack that album or the band or people that like that album, I just don’t listen to it and believe it or not it’s never bothered me ever again. I never got this whole idea that “ Metallica sold out and gave us all the middle finger with the black album or the load album” they did what they wanted to do they didn’t do what everyone else wanted them to do and I respect that. What did Slayer and Megadeth rewarded for staying true to the same sound from the first couple albums? Not really. Everyone loves their albums from their 80s and first half of the 90s and no one that hates Metallica never raves about the later albums by those bands.

[@yzfr620032]

Did St. Anger give you nightsnares?

[@Jordan-hs5kf]

+IrishInFl The very idea of that album makes me frantic......tic tic tic tic tic tock.

[@LMC-xz6qh]

+Rocked Reviews I'm surprised you didn't mention the highly dissonant ending to All Within My Hands on the St. Anger review

[@daanpauwels2280]

St. Anger and Garage inc were the first two album i heard from Metallica... I'm still a huge fan of disc 2 AND disc 1 of garage days and I still like St. Anger over Kill 'em All and Ride The Lightning... Maybe it's because that was my introduction to this great band, but St. anger isn't that bad, it's just different.

[@Adrian-ne1qn]

XD you have earned my respect

[@JZBeasty]

Master of Puppets is an incredible album but Ride the Lightning has to be my favorite.

[@nickthemusicnerd4569]

I’m 2.75, the fan who is okay with the post-Justice stuff (besides St Anger and Lulu) but would still love if they went back to their old sound

[@JadeCryptOfWonders]

Cliff Burton was the reason I wanted to learn bass, too bad my father had to sell my five-string for grocery money, we're not broke anymore and Dad's exited I'm saving up for an Epiphone viola bass. There's a great biography called To Live Is To Die which delves into how awesome Cliff was on or off stage, deep down he was one of the hesher nerds you hung out with in high school who read HP Lovecraft and collected D&D manuals. Something about eighties metal has this melancholy quality to it you can't easily describe.

[@RockedNet]

+Jacob Martin More HP Lovecraft less Stephanie Meyer.

[@nachocavallocarbonell1863]

Reading that book made me realize how much of a creative force Cliff was for the band in the beginning...he was truly one of a kind.

[@ElliYeetYT]

What was especially unlucky about Cliff’s Death was that he was playing cards with Kirk to determine who would get the top bunk in the tour bus not long before the deadly crash in Sweden. Cliff Won the game and the bunk, but that bunk bed would be where Cliff fell out of the bus window. Kirk is extremely lucky to be alive. I Hate Bad Luck!!! 😫

[@UseADamnCoaster]

I thought it was James... Either way it's pretty fucked how a minute of bad luck can lead to death

[@jasonholbrook2019]

And the card that turned up was the ace of spades.Which is pretty ominous, don't you think.

[@fucklchn]

It's funny how Master of Puppets is _REALLY_ popular but it still has some of Metallica's most underrated songs.

[@elsenordelatienda666]

That's cause a lot of people base it's success off battery and master of puppets aside from 80s Metallica fans or the hardcore fans

[@wahpedalabuser3495]

Now it’s their most popular songs

[@jesurenbnb]

Well it is awesome!

[@diabeticmonkey]

Never forget about James’ solo on the title track. It’s the clean one. What an underrated lead player

[@AJEDDY97]

He also has the solo in that clean section before the "Fix me!" scream.

I'm actually a mixture of Type #1 and #2. I will defend every album as at least being decent except for St. anger and Lulu. Hell. even St. anger has some tunes i enjoy.

[@DenSvartaStjarnan]

+Giruga x Hakusho That's me.

[@TAFARockWarrior97]

+Giruga x Hakusho That's me, too! St. Anger had some good ideas, but they didn't really hone them all the way through, since they all got buried in the mix of snares.

[@megamage911]

+Giruga x Hakusho Yup same for me pretty much xD

[@kylebrady969]

+Giruga x Hakusho Same. I love every single album in varying degrees. Yes, Load, Reload, and St. Anger included. I won't ever say everything is a masterpiece, but there are always gems.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

+Giruga x Hakusho No one likes Lulu though. Fuck that one.

[@redvince5627]

Personally I like Ride the Lightning a little bit better. I just feel that album has a little more bite to it. But Master of Puppets is definitely a close second, and Master of Puppets (the song) is probably my favorite Metallica song of all time. Heck, it's just one of my all-time favorite songs, period.

[@ianmarkd.gestuveo4172]

Red Vince For me, MOP (song) is my favorite song of all time and Master Of Puppets is my ABSOLUTELY favorite album of all time.

[@bradyward2177]

Red Vince I agree, I prefer RTL to MoP, both amazing albums though

[@codyhensley640]

That sounds pretty accurate to my own take as well. RtL is their best album with MoP at a close second.

[@christopherparsons4593]

Do a similar video on ...and Justice For All!!! Personal favorite of mine!

[@user-mz8iu7qx4n]

HALLS OF JUSTICE PAINTED GREEN

[@ajkcoleman]

Am I the only who thinks Ride the Lightning is their best?

[@Austin_Bourque_]

Honestly any of there first four I would call my favorite. And this guy should review them all or at least till the black album

[@adootledo]

My favorite too.

[@daemoniuminterfectorem9]

+Genemoneyman I'm right there with you, their first 4 are thrash masterpieces.

No. It makes Master sound like shit.

[@coadekat]

The funny thing is, on my local radio, Fade to Black and For Whom the Bell Tolls get the most plays.

[@tortex404]

that's from Ride The Lightning man

[@joedigger9919]

Sanitarium was actually written afrer watching One Flew Over the Cucoos Nest......so it's a sing about that movie :-)

[@scottphillips6375]

I'm a type one in the sense that I love all of their albums. Their diversity is the reason I love them. However, I understand why others don't feel the same way I do about them. That being said, Master of Puppets is my favorite, and you described it perfectly.

[@JaxJordan35]

I'm fan type #4, I like all their albums with the exception of St. Anger. I hate fan types #1, #2, and #3, and I'm open minded to anything Metallica puts out but if it sucks, it sucks.

[@V1VISECT6]

Jordan Gallaher So you actually liked Lulu?

[@JaxJordan35]

Connor Murphy fuck no, I don't even consider that a part of their discography, no song on the album is good because at least St. Anger had a few decent tracks that I kinda liked such as Frantic, Sweet Amber and Some Kind of Monster

[@dannydaniel1904]

Jordan Gallaher But that's the same mindset as #2

[@JaxJordan35]

DZAP 194 No because fan number 2 isn't open minded

[@dannydaniel1904]

Jordan Gallaher It just states that Metallica is never going to be exactly how they were in the 80s

[@darrinh.2322]

i was born in the mid 60's and i had heard just about everything and this was my band from the min i had heard them from no life til leather to kill em all ride the lightning MOP is my all time favorite album !!!!

[@beyris]

I've noticed that my top 3 Metallica songs are the ones that go Long Intro -> Soft Verse -> Heavy Chorus -> Soft Verse -> Heavy Chorus -> Heavy Bridge -> EPIC SOLO! 3. Fade to Black 2. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 1. One (Lol)

[@ThierryRocksTV]

Aka the original three power ballads

[@rivahkillah]

All 3 are the 4th song on their respective albums.

[@forentertainment3259]

Fragonborn Entertainment My favorites are the ones that go Beautiful intro -> Fast and heavy riff -> Fast and heavy verse -> Fast and heavy chorus -> Fast and heavy verse -> Fast and heavy chorus -> Awesome bridge -> Great solo -> Fast and heavy verse -> Fast and heavy chorus -> Outro 3. Damage Inc. 2. Battery 1. Blackened

[@prometheustv6558]

They should make another ballad like those on their next album

[@Anthony-ob5fy]

I actually chuckled at the "back to the front" reference. Disposable Heroes is my third favorite track on the album, so, yeah, haha.

[@PollyGammy]

Welcome Home is one of my favorite songs. It weaves an atmosphere that’s deep and unforgettable.

[@Atlas65]

I was a huge Metallica fan, in 2003, not so much anymore. Then my favourite songs were Master of Puppets, Battery. But today it is Disposable Hero´s. The lyrics are so good and powerful, even really relevant today.... Damage Inc is fantastic as well.

[@tortex404]

I WAS BORN FOR DYYYYYYIIINGGG!!!

[@Atlas65]

Tor Tex Fantastic lyrics!

[@Jay-zn9zw]

Speaking honestly, "Disposable Heroes" is probably my favorite Metallica song. It might be because of my anti-war views, or maybe it's because it serves as a sort of thematic sibling to "One," which was the first Metallica track I ever heard as a child. That chorus of "BACK TO THE FRONT! You will die when I say you must die!" hits me in the gut every time I hear it. It sits at the core of a lot of my writing, particularly in how the characters view war and its atrocities. And it goes without saying that the instrumentation is extremely tight and well-crafted. Metallica has been an inspiration to me for a long time. Guys like Cliff Burton and Jason Newsted are the number one reason I'm learning how to play bass, and the topics and themes the band has covered in their body of work have helped me in my own creative endeavors, while also introducing me to other great works by proxy (Seriously. If it hadn't been for "One," I probably never would've known that the book "Johnny Got His Gun" was a thing). So it's always great to be reminded why this is the case. So thank you, Luke, for covering this album in depth. It serves as a great companion piece to the Regretting the Past episode on St. Anger, and it's always great to hear you discuss something you love.

[@johstybach]

My favorite song of all time is on this album, welcome home (Sanatarium)

[@CunningCondor]

I listened to this album while playing MvM in Team Fortress 2. Imagine these tracks blasting while you blow up a massive horde of killer robots. Ultimate testosterone.

[@saxtonhale3059]

+CunningCondor Fits in rather well if you think of the robots as the puppets and Gray Mann as the master.

[@MorbidMindedManiac]

Long live machine, the future supreme, I play TF2 along with Metallica, and I play better while listening and playing

[@ianmarkd.gestuveo4172]

This is my most favorite album of all time. I can't stop listening to the album. I had all the songs from this album because I love it. 32 years of greatness.

[@diabeticmonkey]

Also, Disposable Heroes will absolutely crush my you. My personal favorite by the band, and I still marvel at how heavy it is.

[@OsirisMena]

I love how you analyze music. I started watching from A Perfect Circle's 13 step analysis, and have seen nearly all your vids. Love it! You really hit the nail on the head with the description of what is done great, but also in your Regretting the Past series you totaly name exactly what went wrong. I'm so happy I subscribed. Keep it up compadre.....SEX!

[@DFMusic811]

While I do really like this album, nothing beats Ride the Lightning for me.

[@grimmestcreaper2212]

I'm honestly in between fan type #1 and #2. I defend their music while also wishing they sounded like they did in Kill 'Em All to ...And Justice For All. How that is possible, I have no idea.

[@grimmestcreaper2212]

Also, "Let's go Back to the Front" Haaa Disposable Heroes

[@dannydaniel1904]

[@gabefranco6572]

You got a Sevendust backstage pass! Awesome! I met you at Rock Allegiance on the Sunday and I said I recognized you.... And I told you that I played with Jim Breuer.

[@RockedNet]

I remember you! How did you like RA?

[@gabefranco6572]

Rocked It was incredible. I met the Marc Rizzo from Cavalera Conspiracy, John Tempesta from the Cult, and Mike Inez from Alice in Chains before Alice in Chains. Mike actually invited me to sing Man in the Box with them and I didn't hear him. While they were playing that song John Tempesta was talking to me. I also met the Cavalera brothers after their set and got a picture Noodles from the Offspring right before he got in the van with the rest of the band. It was so cool seeing the members right in front of me. When I was talking to Marc Rizzo we were talking like we knew each other. It was kind of weird. I also met Death Angel and Gary Holt from Exodus and Slayer showed me how to play Piranha the right way after hearing me play it wrong. I also met Clint Lowrey and he remembered me from when I first met him in Architekt (the studio they record in) that I take classes at. They did a record release party there. Everytime I have seen Sevendust I have gotten a pick from Clint. Anthrax also had a record release there but I couldn't meet them at Rock allegiance because they were doing a meet and greet at the same time Sevendust was playing. Jose Mangan from Sirius XM was next to me during Cavalera Conspiracy and behind me during Slayer. Also, I met Rob Caggiano again. He recognized me from when I played with Jim a few months before. Rob produced Jim Breuer's album. Probably the best weekend of my life. Also, I won tickets to see Metallica at Webster Hall. They put me in their video on their channel. My uncle got two tickets from his friend for me and him and my dad had to pay $200 for his ticket when we later found out that they let a bunch of people in for free who didn't get tickets. I met Danny Carrey and Eddie Trunk after the show. We knew that Eddie and Jim Breuer are friends so I told him that I played onstage with him. Eddie told us that he was right next to Jim. My dad felt bad because he told jim that he was going to the show and Jim didn't reply to him. After the show he checked his email and he got a bunch of emails from Jim Breuer telling him that he was looking for us and that he had five VIP tickets that got you on the VIP rail and to the after party. Jim left early and has a video on his Facebook giving his tickets to some guy who couldn't get in who was waiting outside. While I didn't get to meet them I got in their video. I also met Dave Mustaine two days after he kicked out my uncle from the Prudential center. I have a video of Megadeth on my channel that doesn't show him getting kicked out but shows why he did. I have a lot of stories for a teenager.

Glad to see another immense fan of this album. Might just be my area (we're all Type #2 Metallica Fans), but about half of the people around me either like Ride the Lightning the best, or ...And Justice For All. Most, if not all seem to glance over Master of Puppets, which has been my favorite since my introduction to them in ~2008. Welcome Home always stood out to me as their best work as well, everything in that song just feels... perfect. The flow, the shifts, the lyrics, and as you mentioned, that's not to discredit the rest of the album. Battery is an extremely close second and Master of Puppets is of course a fan favorite, myself included. Great video overall, hope more people get to experience this astounding work!

Has anyone else noticed that one of the lines from "St. Anger" is lifted straight from "Damage Inc." with no changes? And it's a pretty infamous lyric too.

[@TH3F4LC0Nx]

I love Master of Puppets, it was the first Metallica album I bought, and I know it's the one that's almost universally considered to be their best. That being said, I still feel the need to go against the grain and say that Ride the Lightning is the one I consider their greatest. I think it's the only album they ever made that literally didn't have one weak track on it. Master of Puppets is great, but I never liked The Thing That Should Not Be or Orion. Also, Fight Fire with Fire is a way cooler opening track than Battery, (which is still great, though!).

[@LouisWinthorpe622]

The great thing about Load, Reload, St. Anger, etc, is: they helped in turning me on to how monumentally great Kylesa, Mastodon, High On Fire, Pallbearer and Enslaved really are. Fear Factory, Deftones (esp. Koi No Yokan), Bolt Thrower, Memoriam, Porcupine Tree, Immortal, Death, Puscifer and loads of other stuff that isn't, post- 'the Black album', Metallica, too! The last Obituary album is rocking the inside of my car like fuck, at the moment, as well. So I suppose that I really should be thankful to them (a bit) for that.

[@Upsetkiller456]

You can hear a very clear difference in writing style in their next album and post-passing of Cliff, he had a musical brilliance and classical element to it that is what most people overlook when it comes to him.

Are there other Metallica fan types beyond the ones stated here? Like one for fans who got into them from their 90's work then went back and found their 80's work and loved that too (but didn't care for St. Anger at all)? My introduction to Metallica as a kid in the 90's was, as you might expect, the singles from Black Album through Re-Load, and while I still enjoy those for what they are (hey, when the first thing you hear is those songs your standards for the band are naturally set lower than they probably were for 80's kids), it says something that when S&M was released and (after asking for it as a Christmas present) I sat down to listen to the 2-disc beast, that the tracks that blew me away the most were originally from Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Don't know how many times the S&M version of "Master of Puppets" got played on my various CD players from grade through high school, and "The Thing That Should Not Be" sparked my imagination in a time period before I even knew who H. P. Lovecraft was. The only real problem with S&M is that it planted such a strong love for symphonic metal in me that (granted I did try to give Lightning a chance) I never had enough interest to check out the original Puppets tracks, not having as much of an inclination toward thrash metal on its own. Knowing a little more about the other tracks on the album though certainly makes me want to check it out. Damn if "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" doesn't sound like something I can get into.

sonokawaray my introduction to them was actually through Guitar Hero III when I was in middle school. “One” was the first I heard from them, and I. Fucking. Fell. In. Love. Metallica and Guns N Roses (which I was exposed to as a small child because of my mom lol) were my first metal bands. I fell so in love with what I heard on Guitar Hero that it made me search more into their music and downloaded stuff from Limewire (that should probably give away how old I am, roughly haha). Then finally in June 2017, I saw them in concert with Avenged Sevenfold and Volbeat. Fucking insane show!!!

Also, can we talk about how amazing and beautiful the intro is to Battery? It's one of the best intro's to a song ever in my opinion. You can really hear the classical influence in it. I absolutely love it.

[@mquintus3681]

I totally just watched that sock puppet version, holy fuck that's hillarious XD

[@darianmartin3431]

Leper Messiah is my favorite, the bridge and the solo is fucking insane.

[@Gaelpoo]

Same, everything's incredible in the song

[@randommetalhead7]

Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is also my favorite Metallica song. (second being One) Master Of Puppets is my second favorite Metallica album. (first being And Justice For All) I love every single track on this album except The Thing That Should Not Be, that's a good song but just not my type.

[@fadetoblackened4407]

Personally thing is my favorite song ever, but I can see why, it’s a much slower, doomier song, obviously it’s not thrashy as the rest

[@jesusiracheta8570]

Metallica fan 1.5 the fans that aren’t biased in their admiration of the band. We like some, we don’t like some songs and can be critical without hating.

[@christianpomrening5522]

I'm right in the middle of type one and type two, I hate st anger and I will never listen to a full song off of it, but I think a lot of the songs from load and reload are pretty good and I would stand up for them, but I also am obsessed with the first four albums, especially and justice for all, that is the greatest album ever made

[@magnusgrant4146]

Kinda like me as well. I don't hate St Anger as much as a lot of people do but I can agree it's definitely got problems. However, its flaws to me make it kind of interesting which is something which I cannot say for Load or Reload which were just dull and average hard rock albums. Their 80s stuff is their absolute strongest work for sure and even The Black Album and Death Magnetic are kick ass records.

[@ThierryRocksTV]

I actually think St Anger is good to listen to when particularly pissed off.

[@stevenbaksh5545]

Christian Pomrening well how do you know you hate the hole album if you haven't heard an entire track off it many you might find something you like

[@TheZooropaBaby]

I hate to admit but production of Black album is actually better than other Metallica masterpieces like Master of Puppets. Not that it's gonna deter listening experiences but anyway.

[@Rose34561]

I prefer the production of ride the lightning my personal favorite metallica album

[@lunchbox7774]

Also, Rolling Stone put Cliff as the 9th greatest bassist of all time. That's pretty good, considering how young he was. R.I.P Our brother i metal \m/

[@philipibaugh2925]

I always knew the early stuff was great growing up with it. But going back as a adult with a fresh mind no Prejudice against any members of the band there is pure magic in those first 4 albums. Great music and song writing

[@Noise_H]

Master is my 2nd favorite Metallica Album Ride the Lightning is my favorite Metallica album

[@megamage911]

I'm so happy to have found someone else who views Sanitarium as their favorite Metallica song! :D

[@JahlisMan]

I grew up with the 1991 album. like, almost literally - I heard it in the 3d grade, circa 2002, and I've never been the same since. then there was Load, which I came across by accident (no internet back then, and I was listening to casset tapes, if you can believe it). it was different, but not THAT different from the Black Album, and I enjoyed it. but then I read somewhere that MoP was regarded as the one of the greatest ever. so I sought it out. hearing "Battery" in headphones after only knowing Metallica by the Black Album and Load... it is indescribable:D have been a fan of thrash metal ever since. I'm glad that I heard their albums in this order though. this way I don't even fit the 1st or 2nd type of fans. I enjoy the 90s stuff and thrash stuff almost equally, just for different reasons. even St. Anger holds a special place in mz heart, it helped me through my teenage angst period.:D

[@MarklarRavencrest]

I love the pure raw feeling that St. Anger gives me. I'm sad that you can't experience the same joy I do when I listen to Some kind of Monster, Frantic or The Unnamed feeling.

[@DiagonOfLawlz]

man this album is so rad. i think and justice for all still has my favorite songs, but damn this one is just such a solid listen throughout

[@MmadA-lg6ix]

I'm type 1.5. I do prefer the thrashier albums (Ride is probably my favourite) but I also like pretty much everything else (even parts of St Anger).

[@rozzie101]

I am a bass player (Guitar player and kinda drummer), but I am a batter bass player then guitar player. And the reason I wanted to play the bass, its I had a VHS copy of 'Cliff em all.' I now have a DVD copy of Cliff em all, and I'm still blown away by how great a bass player is....

[@ZooStation42]

I'm not much of a metal fan but over the past six months I've really started getting into Metallica. I like the fact that they've branched out and tried new things, even if some of those experiments didn't work. I liked Load and Reload and even St. Anger, despite having a lot of problems and wasted potential, still has some tunes that keep me coming back. Ride the Lightning is still my favorite but Master of Puppets is definitely a classic.

[@cacohenriquez]

I love this album, is their best album, the most influential and complete! My favorite album is Justice but I can't deny this is a masterpice

[@andrewpappas9311]

Puppets is definitely one of my favourite Metallica songs and albums, it was and still is so damn innovative and is undoubtedly some of their best work. While Enter Sandman was one of the songs that got me into guitar, MoP showed me just what the guitar is capable of and it's still a masterpiece to this day and it's honestly mind-boggling that some people only know Cliff as "the dead dude in Metallica", like the guy was a fucking madman and some of the stuff he did on bass was definitely innovative and unheard of at the time like with songs like Anesthesia, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Call of Cthulu and Orion. As for what kind of Metallica fan I am I'd honestly have to say that I'm maybe a Type 4: I like a lot of their stuff but I also appreciate the artistic/stylistic liberties they took in their career, and Load, Reload and even St. Anger had some pretty cool tracks like Ain't My Bitch, King Nothing, Fuel, The Memory Remains, Unforgiven II (I at least like the song), Frantic, Some Kind of Monster and Sweet Amber (But yeah, Anger and especially Lulu were pretty big missteps for the guys...)

[@Tigerman4545]

My cousin and I listened to this album all the time over summer break when we were kids.

[@RockedNet]

+dialkia5 Your cousin and you sound smart. That's how you SHOULD spend a summer break.

[@Tigerman4545]

Rocked Reviews yeah, he was the person that got me into metal.

[@raqueledwards6061]

Hell yeah I'm too excited this album came out exactly the month the year I was born March 16th 86 baby 😍🤘😎

[@sincitysinner9239]

God damn I love "The thing that should not be", such a badass heavy fucking song. I swear the thing that should not be is Metallicas most criminally under rated song. I wish it would have gotten more radio play and more critical love than it received. Instead of hearing Sandman or sad but true or unforgiven every day on the radio, the thing that should not be should be played way more often. The thing that should not be, Disposable heroes, of wolf and man, and don't tread on me should have all been huge radio hits, all four of those are totally underrated and are fucking awesome tracks.

[@GentleHeretic]

Late blooming Type-2 here. My favorites were always "The Thing That Should Not Be" and "Eye of the Beholder", but I like most of what I've heard from Master of Puppets and also And Justice for All. Although the bass is sorely missing from the post-Burton albums.

[@zachenglish309]

I love how the cubs went on to win it that year

[@Zero1380X]

The Cubs have been the punchline of several jokes for decades, then Luke joins in on the fun and he gets outdated in months... Please Luke, say that there will never be a Covid-19 vaccine, the world needs you...
