- Chapter One: Metal Milita ... How did an army of tape-trading penpals help a group of pimply misfits "go viral" in 1982? Metal Militia recounts the story, from Lars Ulrich's chance encounter with Motorhead in a London rehearsal space to some pretty weird personal ads and the arrival of Cliff Burton.

About Landmark:
Landmark is an original video series about monumental moments in music history, created for a new generation of listeners. Whether delving into the origins of thrash metal or the release of a classic album, each installment of Landmark enlists credible, eclectic voices to explain not just what happened, but why it still matters.
Each multi-part installment is comprised of short videos that can be watched as individual, self-contained chapters or binged all at once in a half-hour viewing experience. Themed companion playlists offer newly-converted fans a chance to dig deeper after they watch.
About Metallica: The Early Years:
Metallica: The Early Years celebrates penpals, the birth of thrash metal, heavy-riffing cellists, and the origins of one of rock's most influential bands. Focusing on the period from band's formation in 1981 through the release of 1984's Ride The Lighting, each chapter features candid interviews, rare archival footage, messed-up animations from Anthony Schepperd, and unusual context showcasing the strange ways Metallica's tentacles continue to worm their way through our collective unconscious.
A story that never gets boring, just like all thrash metal history in general.
Theres always something new on it, I love the way this one is build :)
Scott Ian is in literally everything.
Jews tend to work their way into everything.
***** Wrong there is a jew gene. It can be found in DNA tests.
***** Either way they make me sick with their anti-white agenda.
Why is Scott Ian in every single Metal Documentary? Haha
Dude, he's just in everything period. No joke, he was a walker on the walking dead, he is always at comic events, anything music related... it's crazy.
Yeah, man! I wonder who has been in more documentaries Scott Ian or Neil Gaiman, I see them all the time :D
My guess it's because they're both nerds for what they do and have a lot of stuff to say about it, especially since they've actually been in the shit when it happened.
LOL! Well, he was in one of the original big thrash bands and knew the other bands...who better to tell the story?
LMAP yeah NWO Illimunutty Bilderberg Alex Jones
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!
First time I haven't ignored a commercial in UA-cam!!! 💖
Lol I agree, I was going to press "skip" and then I heard a guy talking about music, and then I saw Lars Ulrich, and I was like....wtf??? And the commercial just went on and on and I kept watching lol.
Yep
Same here! Just couldn't ignore this! It was amazing
Well done, Spotify! Way to go global! Now you have managed to instantly piss off people all over the world except in 4 countries. That is absolutely stupendous. Teaching Microsoft a major lesson here!
I just love the old Metallica days. One of the best bands ever!
I've kind of outgrown my teenage love of heavy music a little bit, but I'll be damned if Master of Puppets isn't one of the finest records I've ever heard. There's still a part of me that's perpetually 15 years old, rocking out to Disposable Heroes.
+ExileOnDaytonStreet sounds like you've evolved into a dumb ass.
+ExileOnDaytonStreet Goddam Electric \m/
I love that they misspelled Metallica on that album. Mettalica. lol!
LOL!! it´s actually METTALLICA :)
+HIELO KING So funny!!
+Heavy Metal James Dean True !!! True !!!
I wonder what one of those original presses are worth, now? Did you get to see the rest of this on Spotify?
Probably worth more than the new album to hit October, LOL! No, I have not... I don´t have Spotify, but I am not really worried about it... I´ve read and heard this story many, many, many times before... :)
this should be on Netflix
Metal documentary: *exists
Scott Ian: allow me to introduce myself
Sorry Spotify, I truly enjoyed part 1, but I hate the fact you try to force me to watch the rest in the small screen of my mobile. Besides, like some are already saying, it doesn't work in all cell phones. Which brings me to my complaint: what makes you think all people will enjoy that, or will be able to play such a long video on their phones? I hope you really consider you're losing clients. I clicked on this video because I loved it, it hooked me from second 5....I am leaving because of your fucking cell phone apps and impositions and shit.
Baby, you are speaking my language from Sorry, all the way to shit. Will you marry me?
i got all the chapters, check my channel!
@@thomaskaltenbrunner3634 OUR HERO!
I love the intros for these videos. They're the hypest and most metal shit I've seen in a while.
country restrictions?really? sorry but im about to pirate the shit out of it.
No shit, so many big media companies still think like 1970s record companies. It's hilarious.
Can you also pirate the rest of the show ? I want to watch it on PC not on the mobile app.
I really hope somebody uploads it soon. I'm paying Spotify Premium but I can't watch it because I live in Spain.
Good job, Spotifags.
PIRATE IT!!! PIRATE IT!!! PIRATE IT!!!!!
F yeah! I'm paying premium too but I cant watch those vids either. just because I live in Indonesia.
hope they make it available worldwide soon
Why is the video series mobile only????
I'm a subscriber. I want to watch this on a good ass setup not my fucking iphone.
Can't wait to torrent the shite out of this when someone will upload it to PC. What a terrible PR decision.
I agree. Wouldn't be so bad if I could at least bring it up on the iPad app, but it's unavailable on that device too. There's no way I'm gonna watch it on my phone.
Just stream it to your good ass setup
+Gunnar Soroos why the fuck does it matter lol
+Gunnar Soroos why the fuck does it matter lol
Damn man, what I would give to be the Bay Area back in the day. Cheers Spotify, this is fucking awesome.
this was awesome
Yeah, If a could watch the whole thing that would be great :D
I still do tape-trading! Keeping true metal alive!
Really? How can you find pen pals?
+damienro0 yes i just got one yesterday from NY
+Ana Sofia Cardoso cool stuff, was not really my question tho hehe
Ana Sofia Cardoso cool I have a lot of tapes, specially Punk Rock, Thrash, Heavy Metal And Power Metal.
Why?
Actually crazy how different it would potentially be if Cliff still was a alive, im betting that he would still be in Metallica today and maybe? possibly? albums like Loud/Reloud, St. Anger could be completely different, who knows man who knows, RIP Cliff
Cliff was too good to stay in metallica
im more thinkin if mustaine had stayed
It's cool to see those pen pal adds from old magazines. Must have been awesome to get letters from other metalheads around the world, sending you tapes and recommendations for bands to check out, like a pre-internet global metal network!
I never get tired of listening to the same story over, and over and over again... :) Thanks Spotify!!!
WTF I have to watch this on an app on my phone. Fuck that, why the hell would i want to watch it on a tiny screen with shitty volume?
It's completely ridiculous and I actually tried it on my Android app and it tells me, "there are no clips available for this video". Total fail by Spotify on this!
"We auditioned him.. he performed poorly" So it was apparent from the very start
Was looking forward to watching the rest of this, but i'm not downloading a fucking app. I don't download ANY apps. So fuck it. Ah well, enjoyed watching this first part.... so cheers!
ooooh look at the rebel over here.
Re-watch the beginning. Listen to them describe how difficult it was to get access to media back then. You can't download an app that will take about 1-5 minutes of your time? These guys would spend weeks or months obtaining stuff and you are too lazy to download an app? The f**k outta here!
Free download...First time using it, you can get premium for $0.99 CAD (that's how much I got it in Canada) for 3 months. You can still use the app as a non premium member, but cant as much as a member.
It's worth it, but I see you are hardly a Metallica fan and probably only like One, Nothing, and fade to Black lol.
+David Vang
Do you know why I can't stream complete video on Spotify through my iPod?
I can't watch on spotify in my country:( Why don't you upload the full documentary here on youtube?...
Same here in Brasil!!
Dame here in Mexico :(((
use a vpn
Do you recommend any?
Daniel Belini I use Hola VPN , it's free
Thumbnail looks something from Adventure Time!
I WANT MORE OF THIS
Thanks for this fantastic video! I loved to listen to the history of Metallica, and I loved how they say at the beginning, that today you just press a button and there it is, the music somebody else spent years of his/her life making. But back in those days, you had to save money, get penpals, go to the music stores, go to actual concerts to get to know who was in and who was out. I wish I had been born before, as most of the music I hear is actually older music! My dad introduced me to Led Zeppelin and my brother lent me his Metallica records. I wish I had been born in the right era :-)
this is great! hurry up & put the rest of the series up!
I'm a premium Spotify user in the US. And I still can't find the rest of these videos.
You have to watch it on a phone. I tried watching it on my iPad and it doesn't work.
+Lucas Foreman That's where I tried watching it... my phone.
i got all the chapters, check my channel!
That laugh at 2:56 made my day.
The only add i've finished watchin and finding for more
If you are a Metallica fan and you don't have Spotify you're missing out on the best vault of Metallica archives I've ever seen. Remastered albums each with over 100 tracks of live songs and demos from the time!
Can't wait to watch the remaining parts on my phone/tablet! Going to have GREAT sound & that big screen video!!!
This is brilliant ! Can't wait for another part, really well made !!
You're funny!
thanks
all 4 parts are on the app dummy
Well. Not everyone has to have Spotify. I hope they will be uploaded to UA-cam. Anyway
+Mike K. what are you talking about? it's a free app
Can't believe it can only be watch in some countries? Landmark ain't available everywhere.
chile loves metallica!!
2:55 Lel that laugh
Fucking love that they used Motörhead songs in the backround. Good way to show appreciation.
You know how a lot of bands say that "without [such and such band], we wouldn't exist!" and it's just a way of noting their influences? In the case of Metallica and Motörhead, it is quite literally the case.
I do miss the excitement of trading tapes back in the day! I remember finally finding someone who had a 5th generation copy of Garage Days Re-revisited in 1994... This was back when it was a rare CD before Garage Inc came out to let EVERYONE have it in high quality. :)
I'd feel pretty stupid sitting in front of my 55" TV watching a video on my 4.5" phone screen. I'm not infecting my phone with your silly little app.
The problem with Spotify is that they require you watch it on your phone. Why the hell would I do that when I can get way better sound through the speakers I've attached to my laptop? Not to mention a bigger screen for video, etc etc etc etc. Can't see this platform going anywhere huge.
Napster purported to have the same philosophies of 70's/80's tape trading, and I kinda agreed at the time. But, the way you guys talk about trading cassettes..they weren't even close!
I never knew that part about Lars having the access to the studio and having a spot on the Metal Massacre album. I always thought that came after James and Lars got back together. Now, I get the impression that James was just using Lars to get his songs out there, and one thing led to another... now he's stuck with him.
I would prefer this art style for the new Metallica album on 0:44, because I think it's creative and there's a lot of detail that surrounds it and instead of The Early Days, I would name this album called "Hardwired...to Self-Destruct" coming out soon.
00:06 Ecuador!!! yeahhhh they have the flag
this is just fascinating!!! even if you dont lie Metallica this is a must watch!
I love whatching old vidz in HD
Scott Ian always weasels his way into everything......damm
Best band EVER :')
4 track recordings. Mix tapes. Lo-fi Harder Rock. Till Metal blasted out the Box. Half my Cassette Case (24) was Trade Tapes.
Awesome!!! great story.
But not showing in Spotify app, I clicked the link, searched into the app and nothing show (I have premium account)
Which country? It's only available in US and UK for now and soon will be available in DE and SE.
Why does it say Germany and Sweden in the news article on Metallica.com if it's not released on the same time? Really wierd.
from México. Too bad if only available for few countries. I hope add the next chapters on UA-cam again. Thanks
unfortunately, the rest of the episodes shall be available on Spotify mobile app only. But who knows, they might be out on UA-cam later :-)
I don't care for Anthrax but man I really dig Scott Ian!!! Long live Metallica.
I like how they empathized on tape sharing days, and not mentioned how they sued napster which was basically the tape sharing of the 21st century.
So.... The rest is only on the app? I cant watch vídeos in the brazilian app 😕
Yeah, you can find the rest of the episodes in the app. Spotify --> Browse --> Podcasts and Videos --> Metallica.
But only if you live in Sweden, UK, Germany or USA.
Yes. The videos on Spotify are available in US, UK, DE and SE.
But I can't find it.. And I live in Sweden.
So fucking wierd.
Sorry, the videos for SE and DE shall be available on Monday, 22nd.
If you can't watch it on the app just search for Metallica behind the music on here ,it's a real good documentary on Metallica
Wonderful!
See, James had Tenacity and persistence. That was it!! Send that tape Motherfu!!!
Stop being a pain Spotify and make the videos available in all countries! We Aussies love them too
Metallica talking about sharing tapes. Piracy! The horror!
fantastic!
wearing my no life til leather shirt while watching this lol
Thank you Spotify! This is amazing!!
He still performs "poorly", James.
lol
Even when he's nailing live for two and half hours straight? He gets Creeping death, One, Fight fire with fire,Blackened and That was just your life, as well as the grooves/bounce on Fuel, Memory remains and Sad but true, and the dynamic drumming in Nothing else matters, sanitarium and all in one set! AND he does this recently! That drumming IS NOT easy! Ask any tech/power metal drummer. I, and many other are, including his band are feel he performs, well, above reproach!
Popped
Looool 😂
+Cory Parker He keeps the beat, has endurance and stays mostly on tempo but he does nothing impressive or innovative. Get a little more up to date on what's going on in metal today and if you're still impressed with his vanilla drum patterns anyone could come up with... you didn't listen to the right bands. lol
Piraters..
Give me video links
Give me torrents full of fire
Givee me that much I desire....
srsly..
help
L
of course scott ian couldn't miss this one
Love metallic from the beginning till now and always will I've alway said you guys can take a dump on vinyl and it will sell big time
Goosebumps like fuck right now.
Yeah, that's really cool. What's up when you live somewhere other than US, UK, Sweeden or Germany. ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!
I mean, I'd be more than happy to watch this on youtube, with adds and stuff, ya know, make ya some money, but no, go ahead and feel free to lock it behind a mobile app so you make much much less money, piss off customers and so forth. Great job.
only ad I could watch
In the tech world manually trading media was known as Sneaker Net.
man, i enjoyed that. gotta get it
So let me get this straight. Spotify makes this little 4 part documentary about Metallica that a lot of people are definetly interested in all around the world, and they restrict it to only 5 countries.
5:39 METTALLICA !
2:49 Dave Mustaine? lmao "My friend and I"
He was talking about Ron.
+Yury Startsev He still should have mentioned Ron. He was important part of their early years, simce he was the first bassist
Arvaa Kuka I agree. But oh well.
Nope, Hugh Tanner from Leather Charm.
Nice
Check out three more chapters, available only on the Spotify mobile app in the US, UK, Sweden, and Germany: ?
It does not work in Sweden!
@ 2:14 there's Jim Morrison cruising in London in 1981 lololol
Better upload the rest of the parts before I do my thing!
02:43 Damn early years Lars looks like a Meg White lol
This is broken on Spotify for iOS. I just downloaded the latest version and it just force closes when I try to play any of the videos.
MORE, MoFos !
Lars: "Like, obviously "
Dhe product Metallica is my reward for my loyalty to dhe product Metallica
I can't watch the dan videos of the other three chapters. I've sended my phone number and I don't get any code in my message box to watch the videos on spotify. Any can relate to this and can help me?
Might be the country you're in. Try getting onto an American or British VPN server.
So takeaway from this, Lars was only in Metallica because of the record deal and because he was rich.
He was always bad at drumming XD
+Easy E hey now Lol im black to and I don't agree with what he said because that shit was just flat out stupid
Agreed
I don't really like Spotify but that video was really fucking cool!
He did the stalking 'til let in thing with Diamond Head too, are they not Hot Topicy enough for the Spotify kids to get a mention? EDIT: OK, they did get a namecheck later.
That's what i'm talking bout
I found it hypocritical back in 2000 (and even today) that Lars was all about tape trading back in the 80s but went ape shit over Napster which was essentially the same damn thing only quicker and no worry about loss of quality due to being digital.
I can't find the other videos on the app...Why? :( When I wrote "Landmark: Metallica - The Early Years"...there is nothing except "No results found for..." :(
Damn James only played with Lars because he needed a band and not because he was good. That shows today
My app keeps closing out immediately as soon as I try to play the videos. Someone needs to fix this.
SLAYERRRRRRR
Great, so why can't I find it on Spotify?
Great to see the Tallica boys back with new material, sadly this is pretty poor, surely they could have come up with something better than this , hoping the rest of the album is better
plz add the other chapters! I try to watch it on my spotify app but it wont work. plz add them
He basically used Lars as a step on the ladder up. xD
Metallica used copies of tapes to promote their music but sued people who shared MP3s to promote their music...........
Don't get me wrong, I love Metallica and I'm glad they finally got with the times and realized the internet is where it's at.
I have tried three times and part two wont play on my phone. It's close though. In Australia
