First Time Hearing Metallica - Battery

[@olgasanchez6772]

Always put a smile on my face love Metallica love how you guys remind me of myself & cousin when we first heard them. My auntie Leticia bought us first cassette & played it in car for us She loved Beatles Rolling Stones and Motown music learn a lot from her. She passed away of cancer miss her to this day. Lost my cousin Tina 3 yrs ago may they both rest in peace. I've seen Metallica live 3 times they are amazing! The real fans are here to watch you guys and the excitement you feel Thanks guys!

[@yearginclarke]

I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. Back in the mid 90's my intro to Metallica was the Black album and Load. I had seen all the earlier albums for sale, but had never actually heard them or knew anything about them at all. At 11 years old I bought Master Of Puppets because the album cover looked cool. I had absolutely *NO* idea what I was about to hear. I played the cassette and was initially surprised to hear acoustic guitar...then when the electric guitars kicked in, I was completely blown away to say the least...when the main riff kicked in my jaw was on the floor! At that point in my life I had never heard anything as powerful as that, let alone the rest of the album! I was in a dazed state for days after hearing that. It impacted me very deeply, and that album is what made me pick up and learn how to play guitar.

Being one of the biggest fans of Metallica, I also like to credit Metallica for exposing me to many other bands the deeper I got into them, their likes and their influences. Keep doing what you’re doing. It’ll only help you appreciate how much bigger the world is about to get for you.

Same for me, also in my own band's music too! My style of playing instruments and such.

[@Priasbcbeist]

Yeah they got me into Danzig

[@MrEmagtsr]

@@Defensive_Woundshell yeah! Keep chasing your dreams! before I was even I teenager as a budding drummer in music class I wanted nothing more than to be like Lars lol. I know the snobs will eat me alive for that but the more my taste in music progressed, the more favorite drummers and musicians would get added to my list. These guys are just now branching out into different genres than they’re used to (something we should all do from time to time), I say let them progress naturally and at their own pace. They’ll get to those other bands just like we all did

[@harryhurd2474]

Best album ever. Battery, Master of Puppets, The Thing That Should Not Be, Welcome Home (Sanitarium), Disposable Heroes, Orion (One of the best instrumentals ever), Damage Inc. This is why it’s in the National Recording Registry in the Library Of Congress. Because it’s so amazing. There is not a bad song on this album.

[@Paolo8772]

Battery is the best song on the best metal album ever. It was recorded in Autumn 1985 and released in late Winter 1986. It's now in the American Library of Congress for being one of the most influential musical offerings America birthed, and well deserved imo. Nothing so heavy sounded as clean when it was released, thereby 1st introducing us to the "Metallica sound" on their third album. I think it's Metallica's best album ever for those reasons, as well as the song's music and lyrics by James Hetfield and arrangements (and excellent drumming on this album as well as the next one after this) by drummer Lars Ulrich. Thanks for posting!
