This is so heavy. There will always be 17 year old kids who will find this music, change their world
15 here, great music to grow up to in 2007

Im 12 years old what is this?
Jamie F, I’m 14 and it changed my life... 🤟🤟
I'm 17 I've been listening since I was 12
Im 49 years old and still get chills when ORION hits.
ditto except I'm 45
@@spidermancereal The chills are not prejudice.
@NoPain NoGain I believe that Orion is more than a song. It's Cliff's soul on display.
It's probably controversial but Orion is my favourite Metallica track
It's Battery that wakes up something in me. It feels like I am home sweet home when it starts.
For what it's worth, I am 43 :).
I can't stop thinking about what Metallica would have become if Cliff Burton hadn't left us. God rest his soul.
Would have likely stayed at least at the level of MOP and not degraded like it did
we all think the same, no load or re-load, no saint anger..
CLIFF EM ALL!
the same probably. all bands degrade
Metallica didn't degrade until Death Magnetic. It's just that patchvest mongoloids do not understand the genius of Load, ReLoad and even St. Anger.
I was a teenager when Master of Puppets came out. It blew my mind. Now, I'm 55. Still listening to it and still blows my mind. 1980's metal will always give me chills.
We need this type of documentary with the justice album. That would be sick
Evan Dahlin yes, get this comment to the top

Hell Yeah Man You Read My Mind Dude I Was Thinking The Same Thing About The Justice Album And Ride The Lightning!!🤘😠🤘🎸 (METAL RULES)!! ( OBEY YOUR MASTERRRRRRR)
AJFA sucks compared to everything before it. I guess they ran out of Dave Mustaine riffs.
"Their music isn't like garbage you know? They know how to get the crowd going ... it's music."
Hmmm. Well Im not sure its really music, but it makes me go CRAZY with glee - so ima roll with it.
@Potato Man because it's so far above music, I'm not sure what I'd call it.
typical metal head quote
Alan Johnson ok
Micah Jared uhhhh
I've been a professional designer/photographer/videographer for 13 years and I had no idea the footage in the doc was created/edited by you. I legit thought this was some old VH1 documentary I'd never heard of. INCREDIBLE work. I would love to see one of these for each album and would support a Patreon to get it done.
Wait this was just made by this UA-camr?! Had straight up no idea until I read this comment
Same here 🤘🤘
I could tell it was youtube work but it's good
Devoted fans with a lot of talent on youtube are usually better at this kind of stuff.
Fun fact about one of the riffs:
"HAMMETT: I’ll tell you how the main [descending] riff to “Master of Puppets” came about. On the Ride the Lightning tour, James would always play the riff in the dressing room, but on the D string, and I’d play it simultaneously on the G string as a parallel-fourths harmony line. It sounded really dorky and funny. Then one day at rehearsal, James said, “Let me show you this really heavy song intro,” and proceeded to play that exact riff on the low E string. I said, “Ah, so you finally found a use for that dorky little thing!” It’s anything but dorky now."
wow didn't know that very cool loo
The problem with Metallica is, that when you start off your career by recording 4 genre defining albums in a row, where do you go from there..
You simply record 5, 6 , and 7 + !
5 if you count the Black Album, I think the big problem with Metallica is that their first 5 albums were some of the greatest Metal albums of all time that now expectations from fans have been set really sky high to the point where they get angry if an album or a live performance doesn't live up to expectations. Like Load, Reload, Death Magnetic and Hardwired aren't close to the greatness of those first 5 albums but they're still great albums. I always say, with Metallica the heavy never went away fans did.
St. Anger with a different production, could've been one of their most loved albums.
EyeShotFirst for sure bro! St Anger is great
Dude, the black album signified their sound. The 5th was very important & is what got me into them.
Wow, I had no idea that quote, The Master of Puppets album was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the Library of Congress & was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry.
The first metal album to receive that honor.
who cares
Jeccfa haters gotta hate
That’s a really cool fact. I definitely care, to comment on the first guy who replied. It’s a huge honor, and also means it will be easier for future generations not to forget this masterpiece.
Well deserved, but so are a lot of other metal albums. Sure hope more of them have been added since 2015.
I can remember listening to this album in 1986 and i remember thinking that people are going to start waking up and Metallica was going to be a huge band !!! They were already successful even back in 86, but nothing compared to the legends they have become today!!
For an unauthorized documentary, this is truly dynamite. Get this person a high paying job! Fantastic work.
It’s hard to imagine what the rest of the catalogue would have sounded like if Cliff hadn’t passed. His influence would undoubtedly changed everything.
Without any doubt
I imagine they would have gotten even more experimental in our timeline. Many like to claim he would have prevented Metallica from becoming less thrash, but those people don't know Cliff. Cliff listened to everything and would be the most into trying different stuff.
@@mr.iiconic I think they would have ended up sounding like groovin'/stoner metal jam band.
If Cliff stayed alive and Dave didn’t get kicked out
@@tillman40 lol the type of person Dave is, he would've still gotten kicked out
it still boggles my mind how talented Cliff was at such a young age, the world really lost out when cliff left us.
He really was a muical genius, and its sad that no one really stands to his level, but then agaun, thats what made him so good...he was and still is Unique
The hendrix of bass.
Agreed. It's should've been Lars. The worst piece of shit and even worse drummer and arrogance without talent at mercy of James and not talent. Someone stick it to his head
@@_._samyog5501 well damn, I wouldn't be that harsh on Lars, you got to think if we didn't have Lars, Metallica wouldn't be as influential, or even exist without him. He was the pushungbpart in their advertising man.
I get that hes not the best drummer, but damn dude, hes not as bad as the singer from nickelback.
@@_._samyog5501 nah It shouldn’t have been anyone, wishing death on someone is terrible, Lars shouldn’t deserve death because he’s not the best drummer in the world.
This documentary is beautifully edited, well documented, I imagine the long hours it took to produce it. Congratulations.
Days even
Great job Stuart!
oh get your hand off it, wanking will send you blind(edited,polished fit for production)
@@firesafetymore months
Think they did it in their sleep.. 😅🤷♂️
This album changed metal and changed fans expectations of what metal was. It changed the music industry.
1986 was a big year an both Reigh in Blood and Peace Sells had the same effect on
metal!
@@dc5780 not anywhere near the same effect as MoP, but yeah, 86 was a hella fine year for thrash metal
The interlude in MOP is the best thing my ears have ever heard..I started playing guitar because of it..I remember shaking my head in disbelief after realizing HET downpicked all the fast parts..obey your MASTER!
Funny you say that, Im 53 and I pretty much only play Metallica songs on my guitar, and was so happy when I learned Master, I still play it like once a month!
The interlude to MOP and the interlude to Orion are so utterly beautiful it's like you forgot you were listening to a metal record.
My dad, born 1936, who loved jazz and classical and opera loved Master of Puppets and let us play it as loud as we wanted when we were teens. He heard Cliff's classical influences there and encouraged it.
My brother learned guitar at 8 y/o, and by the time he was 14 he was trying to learn Metallica stuff BY EAR because he couldn't read tabs. By the time he was 17, he was shredding with Kirk lol. I raised my son on 80's metal, he's 22 now, also a guitar player and just as good. LONG LIVE METALLICA! 🤘🤘🤘
The break down in the middle of damage inc gave me the most problems
Holy crap I assumed this was some official Metallica release. Insanely well done on creating something so professional!
Excellent documentary especially for non musicians
Holy Crap!!! Dood, Dooode, Duuuude, Deuuude, Deewwwwd
Easily could be a blu-ray release in stores. It's just that good.
I'm addicted to pigger nussy 🤠
Who else got the chills hearing Orion when they talked about the cliff’s death
Honestly, I get the chills from Orion every time. That song has brought me to tears. It's my favorite song of all time.
When I was younger I would always skip Orion b/c there was no lyrics, 30 years later I see it is a masterpiece ❤
@@stevefandrei8621 I used to do the same haha
Chills down the spine followed by tears. I'm 44
@@RadioControlGuitarist It's a timeless masterpiece, and imo it's Metallica's finest hour.
Few bands can honestly lay claim to there first 3 major studio albums consistently having not one "suck" track on them, not one...and arguably the fourth as well
F..kin right bro , they one of the greats , the very few who create music with staying power , like the doors , Hendrix , etc
Metallica had a few suck songs. Lol now Slayer on the other hand...lol
This entire video is awesome, but I have to say that the best part was hearing Cliff talk about music.
I had no idea the album was added to the library of congress
Holy shit.
Yeah man, that’s a pretty unbelievable accomplishment for a band.
For all the new fans who don't know metallica that well,
The socal accent is Lars
The girly voice is Kirk
The alpha chad is James
The stoner is Cliff
I’m ashamed to be a new fan
But thank u though
@@julealero7689 that's completly fine anyway you'll soon love Metallica and you'll know em now :)
@@julealero7689 you will not be disappointed
Cliff is like the guy who looks like he has that 70's hippie look, not to mention, he listened to Yes, Rush, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, R.E.M, Thin Lizzy, Rainbow, a lot of classic rock stuff like me, he also like Johann Sebastian Bach just me, a lot of things Cliff liked, I like, Bach is God and Cliff is the Son of God... Cliff will always be my main inspiration in playing bass, cause no one played like him...
its nuts how crazy talented they all were from the age of 18 on. think about it, they made kill em all when they were 18 freaking years old?! omg
Don't mean to sound like a dick but weren't they 19 and I think Kirk was 20? I could be wrong, either way it's amazing
I think not so much talent. Simply, brutal honesty and openness and not adhering to any arbitrary plan someone else has made up. THE MUSIC IS THEM. It's genuine. Definition of authentic. No thinking. It just flows naturally. As soon as the starting thinking - it went less exiting.
They? Lol Mustaine wrote it
@@freesoulmadness3383 ok. Mustaine has writing credits on 3-4 songs if I remember correctly.
@@freesoulmadness3383 he and hetfield and burton are credited on most of the songs aren't they?
That edit at 35:29 was brilliant.
Cliff talking about selling out during the Orion bit. Imo a song like Orion and their other instrumentals showcases how far and above Metallica were at back in the day. When they had Cliff and James still dressed in worn out jeans and a band shirt, headbanging beside Cliff..you can't get a better duo in creating the perfect metal that has it all. When you transfer those old Metallica songs onto a violin or piano, it sounds like some genius composer did it (which they were) Metallica in 86' with Cliff is the greatest metal act playing the greatest songs of all time. I like other metal but they set the bar.
People can prefer Slayer and their consistent songs about killers and hell, mostly playing fast and chaotic, or Megadeth where Dave tries to up the ante and write riffs that are technical and fast, but imo Metallica in the 80's destroys them all. The reason I've been listening to Master of Puppets consistently for 30 years is because it's timeless. I love Reign in Blood for what it is and can see how people can place it above MOP for a thrash record but I disagree with it. Master of Puppets has everything that makes great songs and is the pinnacle of Metal. People might think Reign is a better thrash record but it's not a better metal record.
As a bigger fan of Skayer than Metallica, I can respect that.
*Slayer
Master Of Puppets is the greatest album of all time across all genres! It came out when I was 16, and has been my life’s theme song(album) ever since! Especially from the age of 17(1987) and on. Welcome home(Sanitarium) damnnnn come on man!
Agree fully
@@The11eleven Welcome Home (Sanitarium) is easily in my top 5 songs from any band, and that's competing with the rest of 80's Metallica and what's on the first 6 Black Sabbath albums (that I absolutely love)
I also think Sanitarium is the epitome of the perfect vocals from James. If I could freeze Metallica in one era, it would be 1986. I wouldn't change a thing. Maybe Lars could go on a long vacation and they could steal Lombardo for a string of albums. I'm sure he'd go.
Can’t wait for “Blistered Earth: The Story of ...And Justice for All”
I second that, but personally I'd call it "Darkest Potency"
@@seanknight2535 Agreed, that sounds much better lol
Best album by a mile
@@seanknight2535 Change my mind. "Kills that might have been" in reference to what the album couldve been with Jason's Bass lol
Yeah
Just when i thought id seen every metallica documentary ever made..
Now us fans are gunna want a doc like this for every album
Make it happen
Definitely!
I can't wait for the St Anger doc...
I hear by decree.
I wonder where he got the visual footage from the studio... It does look like archives from the actual sessions... excelent documentary.
Dilly dilly on that!!!!
The most important album in Metal music. This album put Thrash Metal on the big stage. After this tour with Ozzy it opened the door for every other thrash metal band to accomplish similar success. Definitely my favorite by them and one of the best albums period.
The 1980’s and 1990’s are the greatest decades EVER . So glad I got to grow up during those years . 🤘
Yes, notice how in 1989 things drastically changed ( fall of communisim) thats when I knew it was all staged... oprah came in, rap, and blecks were let loose, by the jews.
James sounds super humble. Ironically he says, "You don't have to be a great singer, but if you use your voice as an instrument, it's very potent." And his singing in the MoP album is near operatic in style compared to other albums.
Drew Wesley definitely his best vocal performance,he’s obviously never been a great singer but he had a great energy.Unfortunately he progressively lost that energy over the next two albums.After that it just gets god awful, especially when started trying bring in a country and western element.
@@billymack333 his vocals in Justice and Black Album sounded godly.
@@billymack333 Huh? Vocal wise, Load and Reload were clearly James best performances, that's when he was at his peak. I'm not sure what "country" and "western" elements have got to do with vocal performance... You're talking about subjective taste, while vocal performance should be a metric independent of genre.
@@KemosabeTBC Hey respect Bro,I was 13 when I bought Ride the Lightning...changed my life.Metallica are not too old to release there best💥⚡️
@@anonymouscoward2491 yep, but people just Ride the everything after the 3rd/4th/5th album is bad wave instead of actually give the later albums a listen.
after over 30 years, the guys are still talking about cliff....the impact he made towards them must have been really something...rip cliff burton
He was truly one of the biggest reasons the band went to the next level. He was such a huge part of them that Hetfield still reportedly has issues around the anniversary of his death every year. I guess that’s the biggest reason for James’ recent relapse and subsequent rehab stint as well.
@@KBizzy Oh damn, James fell off the wagon?
kenworthNH yeah he did
He checked into rehab on the 30th anniversary of cliff’s death
you never really get over it, im sure metallica misses cliff as badly as they did 30 years ago
I'm a film and TV editor and I can say, fantastically done. Respect for taking the time to do it right, a lot of people on UA-cam lack the patience and drive and then whine about "oh I didn't have a budget so I couldn't QC it." Um, no, anyone can and should edit their work as well as possible and you have set the bar high.
Easily one of the greatest metal albums of all time! Even the Smithsonian in Washington DC added MOP to its archives.
Too bad Cliff's dad isnt here to see this, he would have loved it RIP
Hearing the bits of Cliff Burton, seeing him smiling...we lost one of the GOATs...
100
I'm in my late 40s and this is still my most favorite album, it's a freaking masterpiece!!!
Yes from top to bottom not a bad song on the album
For me it' Ride the lightning
@@toniocostello2863 can't really go wrong with the first 3 albums
All went downhill when cliff died.. he brought that out of them.
Middle-aged female here. Old-school metalhead. ALWAYS LOVED Metallica from the Black album down Justice is MAYBE My favourite album. I relate very much to One. Cool video. 🤔😁👍🏻😎🤘🏻🥰🤗💖🇨🇦
Cliff was one of my older brothers best friends growing up in Castro Valley in the late 70's. He told me this funny story about a he and Cliff going "Back to School' shopping together. When the first day of school came that year, my brother was quite confused when his new bell bottom jeans were much, much tighter then he remembered. Apparently, there was a mix up at the local dungaree store and they went home with each others bags.
My brother is 12 years older than me and lived with his mom until he moved in with us at age 15.
One day years later, when I was about 12, My brother was driving me to my friends house to skate. I hopped in his truck and pulled out a cassette of this awesome band I loved and skated to with my buddies. Thats when he told me of his friendship with Cliff (and a couple of other guys that would form Faith no More). My mind was blown. Still is actually. I started playing and making music myself a short time after, learning drums and guitar as best I could, listening to old Metallica and Slayer albums.
IMO, Master of Puppets is the best Metal album of all time and Cliff was the main reason. He was coming into his own as a musician, writer and composer. It's an absolute tragedy his life was cut so short. Imagine what Justice for All (a fantastically angry guitar and drum album) could've been with Cliff. Imagine what Metallica could've been. Imagine no Bob Rock. No Load. No Re-load and all that other garbage that followed. UGH.
One can only dream.
That is a really cool story dude. Always killer to hear a story about someone like that that you would otherwise have never known or heard. THANKS DUDE!!!
STILL remember the cow palace summer of 86...Metallica opening for ozzy...the last time me and my friends saw cliff play...🙏
@@brianwood7237 I saw that tour, but in Phx,Az. Only timeI've ever seen Metallica, oddly.
I was in 10th grade and saw the MOP show at the Majestic Theatre in San Antonio.To this day anytime i go to that theatre i always remember Cliff played here
Here’s the thing: everything happens for a reason. Cliff never deserved what he got, never in a million years. But, Metallica’s history is their history. Personally, I love all main studio albums, at least parts of them. Load and Reload were a time of change for the band, due to the years of touring for the Black Album. And the Black Album was slowed down because they didn’t want to play the insane songs from AFJA. And the main reason AFJA was the way it was is because of Cliff’s death and Jason’s introduction. It hit the band hard. As much as I wonder what would’ve happened, everything happens for a reason, and you can’t deny that AFJA was good.
Anyone who says MOP is overrated has either never listened to it or they've listened to it far too many times (if that's even possible) and it's become a bit stale to them (if that's even possible)...
but MOP is in no way overrated.
I really think that no one who knows a little bit of music would say Master of Puppets is overrated, never heard of it and I really won't.
It's in the top 5 most important metal albums of all time.
1: Black Sabbath
2: Iron Maiden, Killers
3: Salyer, Reign in Blood
4: Metallica, Master of Puppets
5: Venom, Black Metal
.
.
Just my top 5 because these albums actually spawned more genres of the classification on Heavy Metal.
Not just similar bands but new branches on the tree on metals life.
Isaac Salaverry Marín Master Of Puppets is the GREATEST Metal Album Of All Time!
I believe you can listen too much at some point, for sure, and it gets irritating, but keep listening when it plays and you'll find yourself a lover of these songs again eventually, for sure! I hated this stuff in h.s. when I grew up on it but again in my 30s now I love it all again!
Rotten to the Core!
“Middle break is pussy” dude are you 12
You have an irrational dislike of this album.
This album is a masterpiece par excellence. I saw Metallica 2 weeks ago and hearing Master of Puppets, Orion, and Battery were probably the highlights of the show for many of us in the audience. So powerful, so visceral and fn awesome. Their best album. Ever 🤘
This Band helped me get through the roughest shittiest abusive childhood. It is music that portrayed my anger and hatred towards the alcoholic abusive shipyard old man. I will always bleed metal and Metallica.
Next one: And Justice For All or Ride the Lightning
Please....
Exactly and KEA to
Well there's a bit of a risk there though - they'll actually have to mention that Dave guy, you know the dude who kinda sorta came up with thrash metal style riffing back in the day.
@@shredaholic9179 if we are talking about RTL well that is true but I think it would make a great documentary. In my own opinion, most fans never realized how hard it was for Dave. Most Metallica fans only know the side of James and Lars in kicking out Dave, but how about Dave's side of the story? (I am not favoring Dave on this matter, he is IMO a legend on his own accord)
And Justice For All would also make a dramatic documentary. The missing "Bass" in the AJFA album, how Jason had to endure it all, why did Jason suck it all up until he left the band, what did James, Kirk, and Lars think of Jason during those times in AJFA era... And so on, I think there is a lot to uncover in AJFA era.
@@maldpotato497 Metallica fans know all sides, backwards & forward. And Dave never lets anyone forget about it almost 40 years later ad nauseam.
They have like a 1 hour interview on Justice on metallicas yt channel
I,ve been a Metallica fan for over 20 years and never came across anything like this. This is pretty unbelievable well made work, congratulations!
Fan since 1984 🤘🎶💓
Hetfield is one of the most under rated vocalists, what he does playing and singing together is amazing.
I agree with his voice being amazing but I highly doubt him being underrated.
No kidding, I try to listen to metal bands I liked that came out at around the same time as Metallicas early years, and it's usually the vocals that stand out as dated....but not Hetfield.
Hetfield has the greatest voice I have ever heard, particularly before he blew it out during the Black Album years, the only reason he will probably never be recognized for having the greatest voice ever is because of the type of music he plays!
Along with Dave Mustaine, they are the most gifted rhythm guitarist.
He sucks actually
Growing old with Metallica, no one could or has ever came close. I have a cassette ive had from the 80s recorded at an LA dive. Still awesome
You gotta upload that dude.
Post it
Holy crap dude, this is really well made. Subscribed and hope to see more in the future!
one word: slayer
YES.....REALLY GOOD !!!! I remember when MetallicA said they'd never make a video
This.
He'll yeah
@@mikeking7582 Technically I think they said they'd never make a video unless it enhanced the song (or something like that). One seemed to fit that. Maybe Enter Sandman and Unforgiven, but certainly now Wherever I may Roam or Whiskey in the Jar.
Dude, this is the account of my job office, but I cannot resist to say to you: thank you for this amazing film. Good Job.
😂😂😂
lol
stephentherarabear cats are the best.
Step into my office
Your effin fired!
Fedemedios fedemedios Im reporting this to your boss
I'm a little younger (25) so I discovered Metallica far after their beginnings. I'm sure I heard Metallica before, but the first song I can say I heard that I knew was Metallica was All Nightmare Long from Death Magnetic. That song hooked me and I delved back through their catalog and absolutely fell in love. Metallica has been one of my favorite bands since then. They truly are one of the greatest bands of all time. Metallica can never die, because we're all Metallica.
That beginning with Franklin Roosevelt talking before disposable heroes would have been a cool intro to that song
When Puppets came out in 86, I was a teenager. Playing guitar. So when I heard Cliff and James harmony’s in Orion, I was blown away because I had never heard anything like that before. 👍🏼
When I first heard, I thought it was all guitar. Not until I started playing, and revisiting the album, did I notice exactly how MUCH bass is heard in the songs. All while complimenting, and furthering the songs. Absolutely, a masterpiece..
thats sick dude
This is the most complete Metallica documentary that exists, period. I’ve been a fan for over 20 years and I never knew some of this shit. Great Job. Now do the same thing with Justice.
And Ride The Lightning!!
You should listen to The Metallica Interviews Vol. 2. You would understand the album in intensity.
You have the right to demand a documentary if you paid watching this instead of watching for free in youtube.
Sorry. No justice for Jason....... Would love to hear him play on those great songs.
Yeah, I never knew the stories behind Leper and Disposable with the football players
I’m 52 and can distinctly remember the day some dude came out to the smoking lounge in high school and pressed play on the boom box. We all lost our minds. I loved the “the ecstasy of gold” bit.
The intro to this document is amazing. It’s like being struck in a prism of time. Like living inside the album if this makes any sense. 🤣🤣 awesome job to the person who created this. I’ve watched and listened to this a few times. Sometimes at work I’ll play it on my radio.
It’s even hard to express the level of emotion this video transmitted to me. The whole Cliff part was so well put together, that I had goosebumps and watery eyes. This is one of the most inspiring fan videos I’ve seen in a my life; being able to come up with this only working with images, sounds, voices and music, especially with the clever editing, takes a hell lotta talent; Metallica should give you credit for this, because I asure you they can’t come up with something better. Bro, this was fucking incredible. I’m about to watch it again.
Please! Do one on And Justice for All; it will be the perfect emotional follow up to the whole Cliff saga.
You a Bass player? Being one myself & highly admiring Cliff's talent, playing, vibe/personality... Hearing his voice.. specially the few clips new to me ears gave me chills.. And by the end portion of the bus accident in which he was taken.. That great pic with him denim jacket fist out/skull rings.. Eyes watered up & gave the screen a 👊 back.. Obviously intended to big Cliff.. Anyhow.. I highly identified with your comment

February 10, 1962 - September 27, 1986
Cheers from Germany🍻
Saw interview with his dad.. he was an even bigger part of the band after Cliff passed... Great guy
Growing up a punk rock kid, the English Dogs came out with To The Ends Of The Earth and it blew me away. I was soon introduced to Ride The Lightning and Kill em All, those three albums were by far my favorites. Then came Master Of Puppets. That album took it to another level and is still my favorite to this day.
This is the album that change everything for me, I was a metal head , Sabbath, Dio, Maiden, Priest etc etc….. until this album, I was literally blown away, my era could not believed what I was listening to, best metal album of all time, no debate for me
Amazing to hear Cliff's voice.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard cliffs voice before until now. Absolute legend
BASS SOLO TAKE ONE
yup, there's a great interview session on youtube where you can see the accompanying video and really get a feel for how Cliff was in person. He certainly shied away from the limelight yet somehow was the biggest influence on the guys. He really was the silent leader of the band when he was alive. If Cliff said it was "okay" the guys knew it was "okay". One producer described Cliff as the "Fonzy" of the group. He was the one they all looked to for guidance.
Sorry, Cliff was one of my heroes. I could go on for hours.
RIP
Look for Cliff'Em All...Metallica had an old home video and there's tons of great Cliff video. I highly recommend it.
@@meantime69 i think that was the producer
i’m 19 years old and LOVE metallica! it still affects young people even today! i love them
to this day i still say Flemming Rasmussen was/is the best producer Metallica has had EVER, he captured, IMO, the true SOUND, VIBE, ELECTRICITY, FURY, that is METALLICA
The entire Master of Puppets album is a masterpiece. This documentary was amazing, so well done! Thank you for making this.
Agree with you but i didnt like the thing that should not be
@@martinvarasrojas3566 I agree with you Martin. That song just doesn't do it for me. The album is a masterpiece tho
You're welcome
I'll never forget the first time I heard Battery on a cassette Walkman.
I bought it as a gift for a friend (never listened Metallica before), the pack was open so on the way to his home put it on my walkman... blew mi mind and of course has to buy a new one.
Me too bro! '86, US Army barracks in Nuremberg Germany.

It's surprising how no one points to how this video essay is composed just from interviews and it funcions like one big script. Respect
BADASS DOC!!! Tons of footage and pics here that I've never seen. Nice work!!
James will go down as one of the best lyricists of his time.
Chad Dubois and more importantly in my opinion one of the best riff writers
@@thedefiant6244 Nah, there are a lot more ahead of him in riff writing. Even Lars. But he does make very good lyrics.
The Potato Of 42 I completely disagree, u know he wrote the majority of the riffs for mop justice and ride the lightning right?
@@thepotatoof4219 lars doesn't write any of the riffs. But ok.
Just behind Mike patton!
The story about Cliff and his fear about people would go after him, since he "stole" an idea from bach... it made me laugh so hard but cry at the same time. It made me remember, that this man was not just a genius but also just a naive young dude who simply loved music. realizing (once again) that he was taken from us at that young age, simply broke my heart :(
So young and incredibly creative. ORION is a masterpiece worthy of BACH
His bass playing was mind blowing!!! I never saw anyone play bass like he did....jaw dropping for sure! R.I.P. Cliff....
My birthday was 27 September. I was turning 17 the day Cliff died. I remember we were really upset about it. We were worried the band would end. We got really messed up that night I think??? And I remember it took a while to accept a new member of the band. It was different and took some getting used to. But they overcame it and we stuck with them. And will for all time. We were Metallica, and Metallica was us. For some reason, we felt, and I felt like it was a part of us. And if Metallica song was on at a party and someone talked shit about the band, it was a really bad night for that person. Looking back it all seems silly, but we loved those guys we never met. And the music meant so much to us. They were saying what we all felt and wanted to say. It was like they were singing about our life. And even being the old head that I'm am today, I still love it. I still turn it up as loud as I can when I'm driving my truck or riding my bike or working. And I still play those riffs on my guitar.
I wish the youth of today knew what it was to wait outside the music store for the record to be released...
But you know, for the life of me I still can not remember how I first came to know of the band called Metallica. But I'm glad I did.
This is an unbelievably amazing documentary
This was a band at the very pinnacle of their creativity.
Creativly they went down the tubes after the black album.
Sadly it was all down hill from there. They never again made any albums that were even close to MOP greatness.
@@patwheeler4940 Agreed...
I don’t know , definitely their best(& metals best), but and justice is the staple for progressive thrash metal
@@patwheeler4940 been a fan since they started, parents hated me blasting kill em all, but it was the album that saved me and many others from the hell of early 80’s pop. In a world where Duran Duran, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany etc were everywhere, Metallica, Black Flag, Fear,MOD and countless others pulled us outta that. It’s hard to knock Metallica (as I go on from here knocking them lol) but I agree with you 100%. The Black album was a great top 40 album, but so far away from the Metallica I loved and those of us who could give a fuck about the mainstream music. They’ve tried to recapture it, but Metallica turned into what they hated: a business. They’ll always have a place in my world, but it’ll be the older stuff playing. They gave me hope when they hired Robert Trujillo (yup. I’m a suicidal tendencies fan.) but the choke Lars has on the band won’t allow that creativity to come out. Great docu tho.
Considering that this is 'unofficial' this is DAMN Good! Gotta do at least one more for Justice.
I think 3 more. One for Justice one for Ride the lightning and one for the black album
Cliff's speech about the life of Metallica brought tears to my eyes!
This intro gave me chills
"In the 80s, nobody could touch Metallica"
From Puppets to Black album yes, they were like the hot thing. But imo metallica has always been amazing.
@@lapinus first 5 albums are gold IMHO.
So Iron Maiden doesnot exist?
In the 90s, nobody could touch Megadeth
@@nagato4982 Death, Symphony X and Blind Guardian would like to have a word with you.
I'm speechless, this is so well made. Everyone share This so it blows up
Update: it just hit 1 million views, deserves every view!
One critical feature of Puppets that people often overlook is the tone, not only in the guitars, but in the overall vibe of the album: dark, dissonant, cold. Like a cave.
I already watched this shit more than 100 times! This needs more views. I need to say, bro, congratulations, you made a fucking good work!
"The thing that should not be" is one of the the slowest, darkest, heaviest songs ever written. Its damn near doom metal! Definitely Metallica's doomiest moment.
Helllllll yeah....🤘
"The Song that Should Not Be". Marked the beginning of the end.
@Rotten to the Core! Hey bud can you go look around and find where anybody asked?
@Potato Man - harvester, eye, to live is to die. one, parts of justice, etc. then the black album gets more plodding, then the wheels fall off and load comes out. TTTSNB was the last song written for MoP and it started a trend of simplification that led them away from their thrash roots.
@Potato Man sure they were. they were far less taxing on any of them. lars actually admits it in the video. I appreciate the later albums for what they were, but they arent close to the masterpieces KEA, ROT, and MOP were - mostly because of the move away from their roots.
Kirk has such a profound perspective about life and is complexly emotional, hes probably such a good friend to have.
He has a unique perspective on Cliff..... He doesn't mention it in the particular interview used in this doc, but Cliff was in Kirk's bunk on the bus the night he died (they drew cards to settle an argument over sleeping arrangements earlier that evening)..... It's only a perverse twist of fate that it wasn't Kirk that died that fateful night. He's carried that fact around with him for the last 35 years.
He's a nice guy in person
Scorpios are loyal as dogs
@@airfixx_8952 Shortest Straw is also about this tragedy
@@bartelvandervelden9894 no it’s not
I literally just went to a Metallica show last night in Pittsburgh and the fact that they're still rocking that hard 40 plus years later is insane. Thanks for the years of music boys
I'm 43 and........Man ! What a documentary , even though not being oficial, the producer deserves all aplasures. If i were wealthy i hire him. However as i aint no affluent, i gonna let my thumb up and subscribe on this amazing channel .
Way to go 🤘🏾
Thank you for this. From an aging Dad whose teenage soul still screams these songs.
Master of Puppets is my favorite song ever because. I relate to it a lot being 2 and a half years sober.
Congratulations man
Same here dude, I’m also in recovery and to me every Metallica song is somehow about addiction haha. Hopefully you’re still doing well.
Congratulations
King shit. Much love brother ❤️🤝👑
@@iamradical my cousin is an addict and recovering. I hope you are well and glad we can bond over phenomenal music. Keep up the amazing work my friend 🤝
THIS documentary deserves an OSCAR.
Amazing. That this was done singularly, without the aid of the band or their enormous resources, is a testament to your credibility as a filmmaker. Floored by the whole shebang. Great job and THANK YOU
Cody
I miss when there was always a side A and a side B ... Sanitarium ends, flip over, Disposable Hero’s hits. That was just great
I grew up listening to CDs, so I never really got to experience this, but I agree that there was an art to putting together sides and side-enders, etc. For instance, I was reading Mick Jagger talk about Exile on Main St., and he was saying one thing that many critics didn’t notice was that each side of that double-album had a theme (i.e., R&B side, gospel side, etc.). I thought that was really cool. To this day, I still buy CDs, but I definitely get the appeal of vinyl.
First 30 seconds of Master still just blows me away. That is the quint sequential metal guitar riff of all time.
Wtf is quint sequential
@@tkzubaran Long Live MAX and IGGOR!
@@tkzubaran Brazilian thrash beats this
I remember I was the first kid on my block with a Metallica album, Ride the Lighting. I put it on for my friends and I'll never forget the look of horror on their faces! Then Master came out, and I was totally blown away. Lightning was great, but Master went to a whole new level.
Cliff Burton and Randy Rhoads… Achieved so much in so little time, I wish there was a bit more time for you.
R.I.P. Cliff Burton GENIUS.
wore out my casette and record. sore neck all the time. still listen to FULL ALBUM EVERY TIME! nobody seems to do this anymore. I know people in their twenties who have never bought a full album....sniff...sad...i also remember camping outside the mall to buy a ticket to a show...
DITTO. Stood in line for hours at the venue when the tickets went on sale for the Ozzy/Metallica tour. Younger gen will never experience the bonding experience with total strangers interested in the same things as you standing in line forever just to buy a shitty ticket and being stoked to have gotten that shitty ticket before they sold out.
anyone who doesn't buy full albums or at least listen to them is an idiot. I don't care what era you grew up in. Anyone who can ignore the way the band itself presents their music is a complete moron
This album still blows me away after all of these years....it’s a fucking masterpiece from start to finish
Rare that you can say that with any album. This one you can just play start to finish and it’s just insane. So so great. Chokes me up.
Nah, the thing that should not be is the one song holding it back from being their best album. That’s rude the lightning
@@GeorgeZimmermen You're straight trippin, that song is crushing musically and thematically, and balances out the album perfectly.
@@aegisreflector1239 nope, skip it every time. It’s boring and bland to me. Rest of the album is fire.
@@GeorgeZimmermen Meh you got basic bro taste then, all good tho 👍
since 81 and still kicking ass in 2023 🤘
Just discovered this documentary. Holy fucking god this is amazing work! Massive appreciation for this! One of the greatest albums ever written properly immortalized. Cannot praise this enough.
Anyone else want to bring Fleming back for the next album?
I don't think at his age he could compete with modern productions. They should use Bob again 😂
@@andrejkelcik4133 As long as Flemming gets the results he got in the past, he could still use a tape recorder nowadays and to me it would be perfectly ok.
For sure everyone
They asked him to help them another time,but the impression that I get is without Cliff he doesn't seem interested in working with them anymore. I could be wrong,but I do know it ended with some tense words.
@@cassiecraft8856 I don't think the point is "without Cliff", if anything "with Lars". I know Flemming was really pissed with him by the time of Justice, since he basically destroyed the mix by excluding the bass and by putting his hands on the drums sound.
Congratulations on a master piece. This documentary belongs on Vh1 or some kind of music channel. You can feel the time and passion you guys put into this. Hell, Metallica themselves should see this as I'm sure deep down they would love it.
I'm sure they seen parts of it so they can put their stamp on it but this documentary is good
I love how the timpani in 'The Ecstasy of Gold' was timed to James' head-banging. Class.
Cant wait for "St. Anger: The thing that should not Be."
Why does this only have 6.2k views? Metallica needs to hire you to make their documentaries in the future. Very well made my friend!
👈 😆
That heavy,grinding, guitar, with the over the top flanger during the outro fade out of "The thing that SNB" fuckin slays all in its path!
My all time favorite song is ‘The thing that should not be’, I could listen to it over and over and over. 🤘🏼
Cliff’s attitude permeated the band, a big reason why they’re still relevant today
