@@avocadodip2157 The only reason why Ron McGovney was kicked out is because Lars and James really wanted Cliff Burton in the band. They literally used Ron's garage and equipment to rehearse, and Ron was actually incredibly enthusiastic about the band. Stories go that Ron could keep timing on the rhythm better than James, but they let him go after they started to make the rounds in clubs and needed a showman who'll walk around the stage and look relaxed and confident while playing, because apparently Ron and Dave did nothing but stand in one place and headbang.
@@elimalinsky7069 He sounds a bit like the Glen Matlock of Metallica, to me. Guy who's gear they use, makes large contributions to the band and getting the whole project off the ground, feels secure in his position and role as part of the group but some of the other guys want him out, saying that he's 'boring' because they want a different personality in the band (this is in no way meant to compare Sid Vicious to Cliff Burton, by the way).
This one is what really started the thrash metal explosion in America. Before this it was all club-level underground stuff on the west coast. These guys were really good really young.
He didn't copy it completely. He added a certain musicality to it. He played for the song rather than look at me I can play a lot of notes and over power the song
As much as I think they made the right decision in replacing Dave with Kirk, I still think Kirk had no place being on that album. I wish they let Dave record his bits and then fire him. Kirk shines on _Ride the Lightning_ and _Master of Puppets._ The Mustaine songs "Ride the Lightning", "The Call of Ktulu" and "Leper Messiah" are so very sufficiently changed by the time they recorded them that nothing was lost not having Dave play on them.
check out Gary Lettice from Holocaust's first album if you think he switched to his own style. James's style is basically Glenn Danzig + Gary Lettice. Not a bad thing though, I love Metallica
this is only the most well known drama in all of metal and pop culture. imagine how much money they would make if they remastered it and released it on TAPE and CD only. package it with a usb tape player in the package for 60 bucks - BRAND TWO VERSIONS, A METALLICA AND MEGADETH VERSION - watch both fly like f HOT F CAKES! id buy 2 of each. 4 sets. 2 to open and 2 to preserve.
Dave is the one who has integrity. He said that Lars had absolutely no part in writing/composing any of these tracks and he's 100% right. Giving songwriting credits to the drummer for coming up with the drumbeats is like giving songwriting credits to the bassist for the bass parts and the lead guitarist for the solo. Some bands do it, but there are a lot of tracks that McGoveney, Mustaine, Burton, Hammett, Newsted and Trujillo contributed parts to that they were understandably not credited for. I don't get the hold that Lars has on James.

Undeniable! Too bad cuz all the drama had me looking for the next level,more pissed tunes,riffs that make you wanna steal cars to crash em into walls and other dumb shit that we thought was fun at the time. And by the time Nocturnal Breed came out!!!!
cant believe they were just 20 years old recording and arranging songs like this. True RAW talent, they were destined for big things from the start. Wonder if they realized how timeless the songs they were creating would be.
@ChristIsKing Well if you think 4 cowrites on a 10 song album is most then I can't help you im afraid haha. James wrote most of kill em all not Dave. And you saying it's their best album is just your opinion, not a fact. And I can personally easily choose top 5 albums from megadeth, their first five before they sold out and then went to rehashing old ideas and Daves voice sounding like an old angry grandma. Peace sells is amazing but I'd put master of puppets and ride the lightning above It...again opinion.
This is freakin RAW sound! definitely the fusion of Punk, Hard Rock, and British Metal. Given I am a Huge Hammett fan, It's cool As fuck to hear the difference with Mustaine's playing. Those solos for Hit the Lights and Motorbreath kill! It definitely makes you wonder what could've been. Hats off to the old guys that got to experience it all first hand back in the day, both the Bay Thrash scene and tape trading.
You could just feel from the first track that these guys would go on to become metal legends. Especially Dave Mustaine, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. This is badass. 1982 was a great year for metal.

Been listening to Metallica for almost 20 years now, but I only heard this for the first time today I guess the most interesting part is that the songs here were practically already "finished" more than a year before Kill'em All was released. They were only more well produced to the album, but every riff, tone, snare etc, is here. I mean, dudes really knew how they wanted to sound back then, and that's even more impressive if you think that Hetfield was... let me search... 18 fucking years old on this? Astonishing. Hail to Metallica!
The bass part is so clear! Especially on Metal Militia. Sounds great. Lololol, and never noticed the descending bass part underlying the main riff of Jump in the Fire. I like it!
I don't know if it cause it's the only song ever that Lars doesn't have writers credit for. But I freaking love motorbreath. And I love how it sounds on here.

@@WatchingSomeUA-camVideos exactly, Metallica with songs like trapped under ice, master of puppets, and one. megadeath with wake up dead, symphony of destruction, peace sells etc etc there Both phenomenal bands
Those Hit the Lights guitar parts are still the most kick ass riffs to hear starting an album. Man those guys could come up with some amazing riffs and harmony parts. Few bands have 1-2 memorable riffs like that and Metallica probably has 50.
John Melton Agreed. They get a lot of hate these days but Metallica did give the world at least 4 (arguably, 5) great albums, all with memorable riffs on them. Learning to play each of those songs helped improve me as a guitarist and I'm eternally grateful to that band
Ya know what I noticed, the pick scrape at the beginning of No Life ‘Til Leather, ( what would be Hit The Lights) goes from LEFT to RIGHT. In Kill ‘Em All, on Hit The Lights, it goes from RIGHT to LEFT.
Que bueno escuchar a Mustaine tocar los solos de los temas. Es sabido que Él escribió casi el kill em all completo, pero jamás esperé que kirk mejorara-copiando lo desarrollado por Dave casi nota por nota, hizo un buen trabajo perfeccionando los solos, pero claramente intelectualemente le pertenecen a Mustaine. De todas formas es una maqueta tal vez mustaine también los hubiera mejorado, pero vaya que demo, rockean mucho sus guitarras
Wow , verdammt gutes Demo ! Da waren Lars ' Eltern musikalisch & finanziell bestimmt nicht unbeteiligt !!! Dave , ein Super - Leadgitarrist , zweifellos ! Aber diese Solos 1:1 von Kirk umzusetzen braucht ein enormes Können - Bin selbst Multiinstrumentalist ( Baujahr 1971 ) & mit Kill 'em all groß geworden ! Meine Hochachtung für diese Leistung !!! Yeah , it's great !!!
Metallica became the equivalent of McDonald's, everybody likes Mcdonald's but most have another particular favorite fast food place. I love Metallica but Megadeth was it for me man back in the day. (I used the food reference because Im tubby, what? 😂)

No Life ‘Till Leather was really good!!! Even though James sounded like a boy going through puberty and sucked in some helium but eh oh well. He sang like Sean Harris from 81 to 82. Thankfully in late 1982 when they started the Kill ‘Em All album he found his voice.
Bjarke Andersen if they made an album with the guitar tone of Ride the lightning, The drums of ...And Justice For All, the vocals of Master Of Puppets, and the type of faster paced riffs such as the ones in kill em all with a couple of heavier ones here and there for variation like The Thing That Should Not Be, in my opinion that would be their best album ever
Even tho this is just a demo this is my favorite Metallica album, the Guitar tone is warm if that makes sense, the vocals are like NWOBHM and Dave's solos are just amazing

It's amazing how well Dave performed on this album considering he was such a drunk that they kicked him out of the band. (sarcasm)😂
We all know Lars wanted Dave gone because Dave didn't listen to Lars' bullshit.
The end riff on motorbreath is so heavy and so underrated
Two of the most epic metal guitarists ever playing together with Lars Ulrich and Ron McGoveney.
Young Hetfield! this is gold, I love Dave \m/
Just imagine Dave and James writing the future Metallica albums............. Well I could dream can't I.
I don't think it could possibly have turned out any better than what we got. We got 2 great bands with amazing material.
@@WatchingSomeUA-camVideos exactly, Metallica with songs like trapped under ice, master of puppets, and one. megadeath with wake up dead, symphony of destruction, peace sells etc etc there Both phenomenal bands
The solos from here are written by Mustaine, right?
but from the version final of kill em all are from Kirk?
+TheMaverick13 the solos on Kill Em All, although played by kirk are pretty much the same solos that Dave and James wrote for the demos
The only thing kirk did with the final version of Kill Em All is change the solos.
James didn't write solos on this album. Dave was and still is quite capable of figuring out his own solos.
i think the solo in Hit the Lights is play by Lloyd Grant tho
Crazy how distinct james and daves rhythm guitars are on this. Both sound great.
dem guitar solos
a lot of fire in those solos
heavenhelp1982 Someone should jump into it
Haha, yeah...down in the depths of my fiery home :P
Those Hit the Lights guitar parts are still the most kick ass riffs to hear starting an album. Man those guys could come up with some amazing riffs and harmony parts. Few bands have 1-2 memorable riffs like that and Metallica probably has 50.
John Melton Agreed. They get a lot of hate these days but Metallica did give the world at least 4 (arguably, 5) great albums, all with memorable riffs on them. Learning to play each of those songs helped improve me as a guitarist and I'm eternally grateful to that band
the amount of people who thought this was Dave singing truly astonishes me, it is very clearly James singing especially on seek and destroy
Ikr it’s James but he was trying to sing like the singer from diamond head. They were big influences and they did many diamond head covers
Dave sings on this too. It's very apparent when it's him.
I must say i prefer Mustaine's solo in Hit the lights over Kirk's, but overall they're both pretty good
13:07 no "Alright" :(
Ya know what I noticed, the pick scrape at the beginning of No Life ‘Til Leather, ( what would be Hit The Lights) goes from LEFT to RIGHT. In Kill ‘Em All, on Hit The Lights, it goes from RIGHT to LEFT.
Que bueno escuchar a Mustaine tocar los solos de los temas. Es sabido que Él escribió casi el kill em all completo, pero jamás esperé que kirk mejorara-copiando lo desarrollado por Dave casi nota por nota, hizo un buen trabajo perfeccionando los solos, pero claramente intelectualemente le pertenecen a Mustaine. De todas formas es una maqueta tal vez mustaine también los hubiera mejorado, pero vaya que demo, rockean mucho sus guitarras
First thrash metal album. I think this is more than a demo.
Yeah indeed
man i love daves playing still great
Here where all begins!!
Wow , verdammt gutes Demo ! Da waren Lars ' Eltern musikalisch & finanziell bestimmt nicht unbeteiligt !!! Dave , ein Super - Leadgitarrist , zweifellos ! Aber diese Solos 1:1 von Kirk umzusetzen braucht ein enormes Können - Bin selbst Multiinstrumentalist ( Baujahr 1971 ) & mit Kill 'em all groß geworden ! Meine Hochachtung für diese Leistung !!! Yeah , it's great !!!
Ron McGovney rocks!!!!
Essa versão de Seek & Destroy é incrível.
Yes it is
🤘Big one🤘
Metallica became the equivalent of McDonald's, everybody likes Mcdonald's but most have another particular favorite fast food place. I love Metallica but Megadeth was it for me man back in the day. (I used the food reference because Im tubby, what? 😂)
Awesome! And likewise, Metallica was the first thrash band I heard For whom the bell tolls. But Magedeth Peace Sells was my fav!
i was a metallica #1 fan until i discovered megadeth
At 24:16 "Now I take off my pants?"
Randal Emmert yes, the lyrics were originally sexual
1 - 00:00 - Hit the lights
2 - 4:23 - The Mechanix

your welcome! ;)
It’s crazy how James’ voice evolved over the years…….
Damn Hetfield sounds glam here. Thank god his voice matured XD
No Life ‘Till Leather was really good!!! Even though James sounded like a boy going through puberty and sucked in some helium but eh oh well. He sang like Sean Harris from 81 to 82. Thankfully in late 1982 when they started the Kill ‘Em All album he found his voice.
The best Metallica album
+Bjarke Andersen nope master of puppets
IMO Best musically was Justice. Best sounding/mixed was without a doubt Black album.
Bjarke Andersen if they made an album with the guitar tone of Ride the lightning, The drums of ...And Justice For All, the vocals of Master Of Puppets, and the type of faster paced riffs such as the ones in kill em all with a couple of heavier ones here and there for variation like The Thing That Should Not Be, in my opinion that would be their best album ever
James Hetfield make it happen there fella!!! oh & make sure y'all have enough cowbell
Best album Mustaine was a part of
James Dave Cliff & Lars would be the best line up in history
Even tho this is just a demo this is my favorite Metallica album, the Guitar tone is warm if that makes sense, the vocals are like NWOBHM and Dave's solos are just amazing
I totally agree
