    Fun facts:
    - It is the song with which they have rehearsed the most, for which they had planned and prepared it for their second album
    -Cliff's solo on bass had it already written and practiced when he played at his school graduation in 1979.
    - During the recording of James's vocals, a "FUCK" by Cliff Burton comes out almost at the end of the song, which by the way is POETIC !!.
    - Actually the hits of the intro, they are not bells, if not an anvil in which he managed the Danish recording studio or as I know, clearly Lars was the one who took advantage of said instrument to make the intro of the song hitting it with a hammer, clearly they put effects on it so that it had the aura of a bell.
    - James learned a lot of music theory in this track since on his bridge, he wrote it in a hurry, in an interview Kirk talks about the problem they had with the song's bridge, because Cliff had to leave early from the recording, to be with his parents in San Fransisco (clearly he finished the bass tracks of the album before leaving, besides that he gave James a lot of musical theory and in this the musical process of this beautiful album and the song in general).
    If there are more curious facts that escaped me, put it here in my comment, so that people know more fully what was behind making this great song, created with love and passion for music.

    I cant believe no one in the comments caught this but the version of the song you listened to is slightly slowed down which sounds really weird compared to the original.

      I got a lot of hate for saying that on another reaction to this song! The producer (Flemming Rasmussen) has stated it in several interviews so I certainly believe it.
      I would guess it was recorded and then played back at a low speed (about 25%); I tried doing that myself with a sample from a UA-cam video and it does sound very similar to the bell in the song.

    I get so much laughter and drive to live life to the fullest watching your reactions.
    Absolutely emotionally entertaining.
    Me and some high school friends played For Whom The Bell Tolls for our High School talent show back in 1988...It's an incredible memory... lot's of our Rocker and Stoner friends rushed the stage and were totally headbanging and flying around the stage...
    Nobody was injured and as a High School metal band this surprised us but it too was fucking awesome!!!
    Needless to say the Principal and some teachers were upset....and of course some parents too...and the bands mom's..oh shiiiiiiit!!!!...and your father is gonna hear about this when he gets home from work!!!. LOL 😁... My mom was hoping I'd become a pastor....Not till I get this outta my blood ma!!!
    Good thing we didn't play Metallica's Whiplash...it always causes a frenzy.
    Keep up the good work man!!
