Some additional trivia, should anyone want it. Awesome vid Andriy, as always.
-Of all Kirk's solos, he said he wishes he could re-do Frayed Ends of Sanity. He says he doesn't know what he was going for, though he's glad when people tell him it's their favorite solo.
-The outro solo for Wherever I may Roam was completely improvised.
-The bell in the intro to For Whom the Bell Tolls isn't a bell, it's an anvil.
-Of all Metallica's songs, Kirk likes playing Seek and Destroy the least.
-The chorus of Master of Puppets was written to intentionally give the crowd something to yell, following the positive audience response to the "DIE DIE DIE" chanting portion of Creeping Death.
-Escape was never supposed to exist. It was put together at the last minute, when the label decided 7 songs wasn't long enough for an album.
-According to Lars, they spelled Cthulhu as Ktulu to avoid accidentally summoning dark, Lovecraftian evils (he was obviously joking).
-James' favorite Metallica song is The Thing That Should Not Be.
-Damage Inc. once prompted Metallica to add a disclaimer to the album, which read: "The only track you probably won't want to play is 'Damage, Inc.' due to the multiple use of the infamous 'F' word. Otherwise, there aren't any 'shits', 'fucks', 'pisses', 'cunts', 'motherfuckers', or 'cocksuckers' anywhere on this record".
-Kirk and James watched a lot of war movies, looking for military-sounding rhythms and parts they could use for Disposable Heroes.
-Blackened posed unique challenges for Kirk, as it requires him to solo through multiple tempo changes; something difficult to pull off perfectly.
-The original version of Jump in the Fire (and The Mechanix AKA The Four Horsemen) that Mustaine showed to the band had AWFUL lyrics...like, really bad. Look 'em up, if you haven't seen 'em.
-The intro solo to No Remorse is one of Kirk's favorites (no idea how I accumulated all this Kirk Hammet trivia lol)
-Rob's favorite song from Hardwired is Spit out the Bone.
Starting to get bored, so I'll end it with a funny story about Master of Puppets:
Scott Ian, from Anthrax, was having breakfast with James and Cliff during the MoP tour. He asked James what he is singing before the midsection solo ("Fix me!"). Cliff chimed in, and told him James was screaming "pan cakes!". The joke persisted, with Cliff mouthing "pan cakes" at Scott, when that part of the song came around.
It’s really impressive that you found those facts, kudos to you man. And I just looked up the original lyrics, and to be honest I like Dave’s songwriting but what the hell was he going for with those
@@andrewpappas9311 it was the 80s and sex was free-flowing.
These are better than the video's
Pan cakes!
Mechanic already has horrible lyrics (not to hat on dave)
Du
Du hast bleeding

"in low man's lyric we hear a key transition, from A major to A minor."
"and that weird spinny thing"
That spinny thing is actually called a hurdy gurdy!!!
deathwalker - from the band eluveitie did a great song with that
@@invisiblekid7374 is that a British thing?
@@tomasbeltran04050I'm not sure?? Irish maybe??
16:55 Slither, which is the least popular Metallica song, actually sounds very similar to their most popular song, Enter Sandman.
I actually kinda like slither
@@Miro_Aakkonen it was my favorite song when I was about 11
The most popular is Nothing else matters
To be honest I love slither
But is not similar enough
"Ronnie" is the only song with a persons name.
*Sad "the house Jack built" noises*
The only song with a REAL person's name. It's about Ron Brown, a school shooter.
@@bubbleheadft I'm pretty sure there are real people named Jack
@@Wind-nj5xz yea but the house jack built isn't about a particular person named jack Ronnie is about a specific person
@@Wind-nj5xz I think that song is about Jack as in whiskey lol
but it isnt the only song
Bonus fact: A woman in BC, Canada used the song "Don't tread on me" to scare a cougar off.
Woowww!!!
That's a fact nowhere to be found on the internet ; )
And James called her
@@ariskoumbanakis467 yup
You'd think that would happen in Florida, not the land of maple syrup.
Then James heard her, and thought of the song
metallica: 10 albums and 107 songs
Buckethead: hold my beer
Next you know, 107 albums of 10 songs
Buckethead did around 300 albums so far...no musician or band is anywhere near to his creativity
@@CarpeDiem23 actually its more like 500 albums total he has played on
@@vhsorion Actually it's like 1300 albums
307
I've been working on the video since May, and it took from 40 to 50 hours to make. I hope you liked it. 🎧 Listen to our MetalliGeek - Metallica podcast apple.co/3bEpWxs (free, no ads, no log in, android too)
do smt about MOTÖRHEAD PLSSSS
Part 2 ? 😂
Not all capes wear heroes :v
But..........
Похуй
А по руске будут субтитры?Так,для друга спрашиваю.
That lick from Phantom Lord at 11:37 was later used in The Conjuring by Megadeth. Dave did write Phantom Lord after all, so I think he has the right to use again for his own band
It also sounds a lot like the first riff in Five Magics
Also sounds very similar to the one solo in Dogs of Chernobyl around 4:50 mark.
If you listen closely, during the quick pause towards the end of The God That Failed, you can hear Jason yell “hey!”
It was Jason? I thought it was James
I hear "Pray!"
*play
And if you don't listen closely, you can also hear it
When it comes to grammys: One won one.
And also lost one, to Jethro Tull
@@sirkjohno0129 It was actually the entire ...And Justice For All album that lost to Jethro Tull's Crest of a Knave, not just One on it's own, which makes it even worse! Crest of a Knave isn't bad or anything, it's just not metal at all lol: ua-cam.com/video/PaEEKtxkw3k/v-deo.html
1 1 1
Two too.
17:02
Attitude fact-The only Metallica song written about one of james' hobbies (in this case, hunting)
You do realize that St. Anger is based mostly on James struggles with alcohol right?
Oh, I'm sorry. I meant hobbies. Thanks for pointing it out
What about Fuel? He's way more into cars than he is into hunting at least nowadays.
Space Piojo motorbreath is about cars too
Not Mozart of wolf and man is about James love of hunting too
10:55 Holy hell that's high
*for james yes* even i bat an eye to it
“Ronnie is the only Metallica song with a real person’s name mentioned”
I guess Jack isn’t a real person’s name
Yes thank you so much
No lol as in Ronnie is a real person. The song is about Ron Brown. He shot up a school in 1995. People referred to him as “Ronnie Frown”.
Charlie Preidis Thanks for sharing 👍
sweeeeeet amberrrrrrrr
@@charliepreidis3004 I thought it was about Ronnie Pickering
Hardwired is the only title track that placed as opener unlike other title track which are on the 2nd after opener
Same happened lately, with 72 Seasons
Erm, actually, “Hardwired” isn’t technically a title track, as the album is titled “Hardwired…To Self-Destruct”.
You're probably already aware of this as it's not super hard to catch but King Nothing actually has James quietly singing "We're off to never never land" at the end
hey yes, and.. King Nothing being close to "Sandman" , ever noticed at the end of that song James sings "off to never never land" very quietly?
I discovered that whilst playing the vocals for King Nothing on Guitar Hero funnily enough 😂
8:27 "And Justice for For" lol
See and destroy
0:40 Ah yes, my favorite song by Metallica, *Huy*
13:44
That’s odd considering a common misheard lyric in English.
Soviet...friend no more.
Don’t Tread on Me
Next line: Soviet... slept with a whore
I misheaed this "soviet" line when I was 4 and didn't see the correct lyrics until I was 17 lmaoo
Judging by the message of the song, it may very well have been intentional.
But that was intentional as a play on the words. Read the annotations on Genius, there it's well explained why and the context
I always thought that in the Judas Kiss, James says...
"So what now? Where do I head?"
When apparently it was...
"So what now? Where go I?"
I believe the C/C# in Master is not a dissonance, just a ninth interval to give more flavour in the riff culmination.
"Fade to Black was the first poppy song by Metallica."
Escape: Am I a joke to you?
Fade to Black came before Escape.
Fade = ballad escape =pop
11:36 damnit Andriy! You forgot the Conjuring again!
Yeah , I was gonna comment this haha. One of my favorite songs
Godhammet..
@@AndriyVasylenko Kirk Dammit
© James hetfield
Conjuring, the song Andriy always forgets. You're welcome 😉
And Dave stole it from Scorpions "Catch Your Train" 1:41 in that song
The Whiplash one NOT being the one time they said “Metallica” is just sad.
0:40 A frrrrrrriend: What's your favourite Metallica song?
Me. Huy!
7:34 this Sweet Amber/St Anger combination sounds really sick to be honest
True
8:26 Wow, there are more mistakes than in my school test!
10:00 The fact about Master of Puppets is actually incorrect. Cliff played the bassline out of sequence on purpose to avoid doubling with the guitars. Rick Beato goes into depth about it on his Master of Puppets review, which I highly encourage you all to check out. Besides, do you really think the great Cliff Burton would make a so-called 'mistake'? C'mon man, get real, he was beyond such things lol.
The dissonance is a fact.
I saw Cliff in Knoxville, TN a month before he died and James had a broken arm so the roadie played. Cliff was the backbone of Metallica. The true Metallica died with Cliff and had he not died they might have sold the most records of any band in history! They are top 15 I believe already. Cliffs note in Master is the same as the guitar to my ear, but I've only been playing 41 years....
Thrash Metal Scene, Circa 86
James: We like a lot using open strings
Kerry King: M´about to end this man whole career, Tom, bring my guitar.
@Riley Martin for that matter not even lulu" Mettalica is the most immortal thing ever
@Riley Martin look up St anger re recorded without the garbage cans. It's actually not a bad album when produced right.
I like how Andriy mentioned how that Phantom Lord lick ended up in Return to Hangar, yet didn’t mention that it was also in The Conjuring.
11:40 its also in The Conjuring
Can't believe I missed it again
And probably many other songs, Dave does use the same licks like a lot lot lot
Damn! I wanted to be the smartass to point that
Shit, this must've taken a lot of time to make.
Thanks Frrrriiiieennd!
The subtle fucks at the end of some song recordings were the best part of these facts.
Dave actually uses that lick on a lot of solos, like "The Conjuring" for example.
Yes
THAT'S WHERE I HEARD IT!!!!
I knew I had heard that lick somewhere that wasn't either of those two recordings
10:26 I think it's done willingly to generate disonance
Actually Mustaine used that Phantom Lord leak earlier in The Conjuring.
In other words: If you can play Creeping Death at full speed, your downpicking or bass finger style is epic. That's good motivation for practice! \m/
Aw, thanks. That's really nice of you to say that and reduce my endless self-loathing. I still can't get that damn arpeggio in Master tho
i can play blackened full and 30 seconds or 1 minute of creeping death at full speed but can't play the intro of Master of Puppets, damn
@@detts5082 Keep playing and you'll get there! :)
@@detts5082 The best way to practice your stamina if you ask me is to play disposable heroes a lot. And you gotta try to play with the track or you'll cheat yourself lol
I was able to downpick that song on bass at 1,25 speed of 1989 performance from Seattle. My arm was in flames after that but man, it was sick. It was my physical peak regarding bass playing
Fun fact for those that don’t already know:
One was based on a very horrific book called Johnny Got His Gun, which was about an American soldier who had gotten hit by an artillery shell and was horribly disfigured, to the point that he is physically a prisoner of his own body, and his confinement to a bed was sealed, and the only thing the soldier wishes for anymore is to be released from his bed, but he can’t, because he can’t walk, and he wishes to be killed because of it.
It was also a movie Metallica bought the rights to so it could be in the video of One.
The transition from Sweet Amber to St. Anger was so clean I barely even noticed it 😂😂😂
Damn I didn’t know most of these! One other fun fact: The instrumental introduction of “Don’t Tread on Me” uses an eight bar phrase from a song called "America" from the movie/musical “West Side Story”.
Hey dude love your remasters surprised to see you here
Toby Howe Thank you :)
At the end, the auto-generate captions has 'It's Andriy Vasylenko, be in metal' as 'It's a very versatile and car, big metal'
4:47 why is there a picture of the black album when the song escape is on ride the lightning?
Editing error
Beside ronnie, the house that jack built is another song with a real name person in the title
Jack is a name of a fictional person. Ronnie (Ron Brown) was a real person who first shot several people outside and then tried to do the same inside high school (and luckily was stopped before he got there).
@@Eris_Norregard thx, now im clear with this
@@benjaminguajardo9217 No problem :)
@@Eris_Norregard 'Jack' is a reference to 'Jack Daniels'
1:27 PLAY IT LIVE FFS
I'M GONNA START CRYING ELSE..
@Nim Chimpsky Great choice my man!
K... I'm early... so...
*WheRe iS CloVeR¿*
Btw Prince charming chorus sounds like the four horsemen
And Here comes revenge is Thorn Within 2
Clover isn’t on a main album
Here comes revenge is the unforgiven IV
If clover should be here, then minus human and I disappear should be here too
Glad that the Weird Rolly Thing made an appearance
The Hurdy gurgy appearance is great
8:17 actually the lowest note played in Metallica’s albums was when james recorded a D on the “sad but true” main riff, but it wasn’t a normal drop D, it was a double drop D on a guitar so it was as low as jason’s bass. You’re welcome :)
Who else lives in Minnesota and just realized they say "yeah" as often as James Hetfield
Right here
Attitude, Leper Messiah, Low Man's Lyric & Mama Said have vocals of: "One, Two, Three, Four" in the beginning
The confusing part here is that Leper Messiah's intro is in 5/4, but James counts in 4/4. Kinda throws you off the first few times.
tuesday's gone on garage has that to, but that's not their song.
I think the S&M version for Of Wolf And Man has it in its CD recording too, IIRC
Andriy about songs: "Did you know that-"
Andriy about Orion: "It's a majestic song, and so it the one who wrote it."
I unironically like purify, my favourite song from the record along with frantic
I cut the part when I say "What a waste. The rest of the song really kicks ass"
Andriy Vasylenko man the part you hate is the one I like the most lmao, but yeah the rest of the song does kick major ass as well
I do very much enjoy the chorus in Purify as well. I find it sounds somewhat grunge-inspired
@@HeavyMetalLukex it's probably the harmony. James is doing a very crooked, out of tune octave and it sounds lowkey nice.
I like Purify, but Sweet Amber takes the cake for me
I remember them playing "Fuel" in concert before either the single or the album were released. When interspersed with all the other stuff at the concert, the song received an almighty *shrug* from the fans.
They played it during the Load tour with unfinished lyrics. It's actually in the Cunning Stunts DVD
I appreciate the work you put in this, keep it up.
3:16
The harmony part is based on the final two bars of the fill segment.
The final two bars are different to me
Andriy Vasylenko
They’re not identical because of the bend that James doesn’t replicate vocally, but his live vocalization is definitely based on the passage.
It's actually the baseline
11:01...i can't stop laughing XD
Sounds like that one kid on MW2 or Halo 3 that shrieked whenever someone killed him
Young James trying to sing like Myles Kennedy 😂😂😂
I have a theory about Whiplash. As said in the video, they no longer preform the third verse. It may be due to Metallica’s use of Mesa and Randal amps. Metallica had all of their Marshall amps stolen during the Kill Em’ All tour causing the switch during the Ride the Lightning recording. It would not make sense for them to sing the third verse.
Edit: they still used marshals for the ride the lightning sessions. I believe it was a jcm 800.
Great job, man! I always appreciate your vids! This is gold!
That pronunciation of Slither is epic XD
9:42 “Shoot Me Again has the most times James said-SHIT! SHIT! SH-SHIT!” 😄
I too was surprised by the lack of "Trapped Under Ice" in their Antarctica performance. Such a blown opportunity!
Oh, and along with "Ronnie", "Sweet Amber" has a person's name in it!
Actually, in the four horsemen, there is harmony in the second section of the bridge solo. Kirk recorded two different parts and panned them away from each other, so there’s a solo in each ear, making the four horsemen the actual first Metallica harmony. They both have different melodies, and thus creating harmony (especially for the long notes in between licks).and while they have Different rhythms, you can tell the solos mesh. And also, the four horsemen was released as a demo before no remorse, making it the very first harmony Metallica ever did.
man, the work you put into these videos really shows
1:28 the house jack built??
Attitude is probably one of my top 10 favorite Metallica songs of all time
Beyond Magnetic facts:
Hate Train is the only 21st century Metallica song with strumming
Hell and Back is the only song on the EP played more than once live
Rebel of Babylon is dedicated to Layne Staley
Just a Bullet Away is the only track since St Anger with Kirk playing rhythm
Just a bullet away is about Stanley
@@Scriptadiaboly No, he was right, Rebel Of Babylon is dedicated to Staley
fun fact the song hit the lights had a Jamaican/ black guitarist on second lead.
The first Megadeth recording that used that riff at 11:32 was *actually* "The Conjuring" off their sophomore album, "Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?" :)
Congrats, bro! A very massive and cool video!
When Escape is on the Black Album
I like the Slither song! And i think it begins with vocals besides "Fuel" too (i can't remember)
11:30 that Mustaine lick actually appears way before Return to Hangar 18 was released, in "The Conjuring" intro segment solo from Peace Sells way back in 1986
1:27
The House Jack Built
14:00 this is literally PERFECT😂 James looks like the Cowardly Lion from Wizard Of Oz😂😂 I’m dying😂
Lol
Andriy Vasylenko oh, I’m freaking out just now!! Thank you for replying to me, I’ve been subscribed to you for a long time now! I love your channel. Keep on rocking🤘❤️
@@eva-vs1zu ;-)
7:33 best transition I hav ever heard😭
I love Metallica, but I only have 3 of their songs on my favorites. One of those is slither. How can you not like that song?
14:03 "Speaking of primates"
*shows Robert*
Sanitarium is the only metallica song that repeats vocal notes on guitar (fear of living on natives getting restless now...)
Welcome Home (Sanitarium) also has a melodic verse and heavy chorus you forgot about that one
Great video. Very interesting facts.
Ps: I actually like Slither. I don't know why is the least favorite Metallica song.
3:44
Am I Evil?: Am I a joke to you
I love how this channel is slowly turning to metallica vsauce
Nobody talks about this amazing fact about "My World":
On October 20, 2004, Metallica played in Philadelphia during the Madly In Anger With The World Tour. For some reason, Lars couldn't decide on a song near the end of the setlist, so he wrote in "Dyers/My World". They eventually chose to play "Dyers Eve", and "My World" was not played live ever. So the fact could be that "My World" is the only Metallica song that was skipped on a setlist and subsequently never played live.
Here's proof:
www.setlist.fm/setlist/metallica/2004/wachovia-center-philadelphia-pa-43d6ab47.html
Damage Inc and St. Anger both contain the lyrics "f*ck and it all and f*cking no regrets..."
For here comes revenge, you should have talked about the songs origin and it also being related to the unforgiven trilogy
2 years later, how is it related to the unforgivens?
One thing I like a lot about your videos is you’re not feening for people to subscribe to you. You don’t say anything about “hitting the like button” or “subscribe to this channel for more videos like this” you just get straight to the point
The phantom lord mustaine's lick is used in the intro of the conjuring :D
4:46 Escape-Enter Sandman…
…AND Ride the Ligthning:
“Who made you god to say…”
8:35 See & Destroy live 1992 is my favorite
I saw "Seek & Pestroy" spelling on some cassette inlay.
Also, Attitude is considered to be a 'poor cousin to Prince Charming, that James literally wants to "kill you" and it's principle charm is to create a full-on aggressive streak'. That's paraphrased from the book "Metallica: The Music and The Mayhem" which gives details of every single Metallica song up to the Death Magnetic album
11:36 lick from the intro of The Conjuring
And return to anger apparently xD
17:01 The Low Man's Lyric starts whit vocal too
The Phantom Lord/Return to Hangar Dave's lick is also really similar to his solo in The Conjuring, especially the beginning. I think the original Metal Up Your Ass version is even more similar to The Conjuring solo than it is to the Return to Hangar.
The structure of the Return to Hanger solo is smilar to a Metallica one, but I can't remember which one.
Extra Fact: Motorbreath was credited to Hetfield only, however the song was written by Hugh Tanner, making it the only pre-Mustaine era contribution that has been confirmed. You can find Hugh discussing with Ron McGovney about Motorhead on twitter, and Hugh Tanner stated that it's his favourite Metallica song.
i personally
i dont mind Purify's chorus
or anything from St Anger
i love the album
Same
5:36 Don’t ask me why I like this chorus
I have a dream.... an alternate reality where Metallica saved Escape for the black album and played it in D tuning after My Friend of Misery
