Dude me too! Like I used to be hella obsessed with Metallica guitar tones, and I kept imagining that Ride the Lightning really sounds like the album cover.
On his voice changing on “Metallica” aka the Black album… he destroyed his voice while touring Master of Puppets. Then while trying to record anything for “Metallica” it became impossible. He went to a doctor, they said basically you have to change or you’ll not be able to talk even before too long. They said he should go to a vocal coach, which he did begrudgingly. That coach showed him his proper range, taught him techniques on getting power without having to kill his throat, and gave him a warm up routine he still uses to this day! You forgot to tell her that the video for “One” was their first music video. Also, that it was based on the book “Johnny got his gun”, which is a much older book. And it uses footage from the movie by the same title that shows WW1 area warfare but was released during the Vietnam war therefore it was very controversial for the time. James use to go into old book stores and look at titles and would buy some occasionally. That’s how One came to be. Also where “For whom the bell tolls” got its name. It came from a book by the same name written by Ernest Hemingway released in 1940.
@@het2419 facts are facts ya’ll. They are important. Well, not to a lot of people today. If your not a big fan of a band that you’ve listened to and loved since the tape trading through the mail days, you just don’t understand why you want to share information about them, and want the information being passed along to be correct.
Venom already was extreme. Extreme is everything under death and black. And both are came from thrash. And well, you may include doom into extreme, you may not. But it is extreme on the opposite end.
The generic comment on the fade to black solo hurt my soul. It's probably my favourite solo ever. I love feeling sad during songs, I felt so sad for so long it's the only thing I related to.
I read years ago that Battery is named after a bar or live venue that they and lots of metal bands used to play in. This venue, The Battery (?) was so integral to everybody's lives in the scene, so that's why the references to family and being found "in me" But also the references to aggression and violence, because of the live bands and the mosh pits and the crazy stuff that went on in the venue.
A lot of the album was not written by Dave Mustaine. He wrote Jump in The Fire and The Four Horsemen and CO-wrote Metal Militia and Phantom Lord with James. Why does everyone keep parroting this lie.
I think I just didn’t feel like listening to sad songs when we filmed this… I promise I will try to keep an open mind next time! I’ll mentally prepare for sad songs 💪🏻
@@evarvy no need to apologize tbh. sometimes you're just not in the mood. but embracing darker sides of existence through or with art of any kind is something that is pretty important for emotional development
@@evarvy a lot of the sadness and aggression in metal music is channeled in a positive way - it's an outlet for those emotions and a way to express them in a cathartic manner. Sometimes if I'm feeling down for whatever reason I'll chuck on some Metallica, Megadeth, Disturbed, etc... and rock out for a bit until I feel better. Does help.
Oh Man, She just told you what to show her next 25:00 . Give her the S&M Album. Let her go down that rabbit hole and see what she thinks. Even if it's not for a video. Thank me later
I've always felt that the album cover for Ride the Lightning perfectly matches the sound of the album, but I've never heard anybody say it aloud, and it totally makes sense.
The "country" vibes is of course inspired by Ennio Morricones spaghetti western soundtracks. They always play The Ecstasy of Gold from The Good, the bad and the ugly.as opening track live.
Boy, if i see the two of you i get so reminded of my wife and me sitting in front of the stereo cuz she wanted to learn about metal, just 30 years ago. I wish you all the fun in life. Enjoy the process. And stay metal. 🤘

Strange how she avoids the 'sadness' of songs. Sadness isn't always a negative, and particularly in music, it allows you to feel and connect with the emotional significance of the story being told. Fade to Black and One are so impactful because of the emotional weight behind not just the lyrics but the instrumentation and blocking out emotions the song tries to convey only serves to block out the song itself. If you can't feel the song, it's harder to appreciate it
Valid! I guess I just didn’t feel like listening to sad songs that night 🤷🏼♀️ I’m a person who feels very strongly, so I need to be in “the mood” to listen to sad songs.
They blame the producer for the base being tuned down on And justice for all, but Newstead was also basically bullied by the other members when he played with them
Battery has the same meaning as Whiplash. The name comes from the street of which their garage they played in was at, Battery St. It is an ode to their fans for being with them all that way.
Awe man, I wished u could’ve experienced the show. I was there and was hoping I’d see u there man. Came from Humboldt sask for my first concert and it was great!!
It’s genuinely awesome to get to show new people Metallica because they’ve evolved in a million different awesome ways. Kill em all is a raw barely produced or mixed in any sort of way album that stands alone at the pinnacle of shred focused thrash, ride the lightning is my personal favourite as the band tightened up and learned how to write songs in a million new ways like fade to black or call of Kthulu or even the rhythm heavy grooves of creeping death, it was so raw and also so boundary pushing in a million different ways, then you get to Master which is probably THE thrash metal album of all time. Everyone is so tight. Maybe the singing hasn’t really evolved yet but the groove on songs like Master, Battery and disposable heroes are undeniable. Coupled with the ballad that is Saniterium (doesn’t beat fade to black for me but that’s a personal choice) and then the INSANE instrumental that is Orion like holy shit it is insane that that album is only 8 songs because it managed to pack everything into the tightest track list metal has seen. And justice is rough to evaluate because I LOVE Jason Newstead as a bassist he helped write battery one of the grooviest heaviest Metallica albums tunes ever but aside from that and One the album felt technically very cool but also like there was a piece missing and like something was fundamentally different. Then you get to the black album which as a metal head is hard to hate and also hard to love, because yeah in a lot of ways Metallica “sold out” but in a million other ways they also became the best metal band that ever existed. The black album made the average person realize that metal music could be instrumental, melodic, gorgeous and heavy as hell in a way that had never been done before. Anyways to sum it all up Metallica is a band that has really done it all, especially in those first 5 albums it feels almost unfair in the ways that they made music. They made raw shred filled masterpieces like no remorse or whiplash, evolved into for whom the bell tolls and fade to black, creeping death, tightened things up into battery and master, recovered from heart breaking losses with one, blacked and harvester and rocked the whole world like never before with sandman, nothing else matters and unforgiven, like holy hell what a band nobody can take that legacy from them. They drew fans from every corner of music because they deserved it. Rock on up the irons and shred forward Metallica, cause you guys are a band that has been continues to be and will always be THE metal band.
Sorry that comment was way longer than I meant it to be. No need for anyone to read it I just kinda love music in general. Metal’s been my love since I was a kid but I play guitar, taught by a jazz/deathcore (weird combination) teacher, and whether it is blues, jazz, classical, reggae, hip hop, ska, metal, or whatever else I just love the way a random pile of pitches never ceases to pluck heartstrings across the world. Rock on in whatever way you rock on people. Music is important to all of us and that’s what makes it awesome ❤
This is so freakin funny! thunderstruck and varvis face got me rofl! and btw Vocals in metal is like another instrument, i love guturals, growling and anger shouting even if i dont understand the lyrics, love how it is the sound of the enunciation and delivery of the vocals
Speaking of kachow, here’s an absolutley hilarious misheard lyric for ya. At The Gates - Suicide Nation, right after the chorus: KA-CHOW! Ever since i’ve heard that i cannot unhear it, and so the song always cracks me up
Speaking of classical Spanish guitar 'feel', you should check out current Metallica member/Bass player Robert Trujillo... he plays that style as well on acoustic guitar.
What the hell, why is everybody's comments so mean & disrespectful. Nobody forced you people to watch it, if you didn't like the video then why the hell did you watch the whole thing...Why do people have to hate on others, they did nothing to you guys ?? Just Say'in !!!
Nail on the head with the instruments taking lead in the majority of metal. Master of Puppets is on my wall of favorite albums (18). Don't worry I'm singing the lyrics with ya. Off to watch your The Unforgiven vid.
If you ask me to name three songs it might be a long convo. Live or studio? Which bassist? Which guitarist? Pre or post ride the lightning? What? They are the musical love children of Sabbath, Motörhead and diamondhead😂
I live in the alternate reality where Metallica chose to go out on top and decided to semi-retire after the black album, only going on tour every couple years.

Hello, I am not sure if you did this song video yet but incase you haven't i will leave the link below..So i have a song video for you to watch from Iron Maiden, it's the Live 1982 version of 'Hallowed Be Thy Name', it is considered to be the best rock video ever made, Bruce Dickinson sings his butt off in this video, you can really hear his operatic voice come out in this song, with his long vabratos and long notes not to mention his vocal range. In my opinion this why i think every other rock singer secretly wishes that they could sing like Bruce could when he was in his prime. Pay attention to the long note in the beggining of the song, and the 2 long notes at end of song, they are 'EPIC'...The song is about a man being sent to the gallows to be hanged and he is looking back on his life. Most of Iron Maiden's songs are about an important event that has happened in history. So watch this video for sure, it is amazing !!!...Must Watch. Thank You 🤘🤘 Video Link Below: ua-cam.com/video/7vP2hFFV57E/v-deo.html&feature=share
Battery is named after Battery street in California, a strip that used to have lots of venues that they would play when starting out. I visited once, its in no way the same as it was back then 😅
If you ever have the luck to go watch them live, do it. On a stage they're very different--lot of interaction with the crowd, I've been 5 times between 1985 & summer 2023, I was never disappointed & I saw them at every stage, with almost every member in their history (except Mustaine, but I 've been lucky to watch Cliff the year before he passed away).
I think you're not letting her listen to the songs so much. Don't get me wrong. You're so sweet and I wanna be your friend, but sometimes she seems like "Oh. Again? Let me listen to the song". But she loves you too much to get annoyed LOL
Ask your wife that Metallica never fully recovered from Cliff's death as depicted in some kind of monster. Then ask your wife if you can do a tribute video of Cliff Burton to show her how important he was as a band member and not just a bassist
Battery is really more about the Metallica family of fans. I believe it takes its name from Battery Street where the boys lived for while in the early days.
Nice vid🎉 I recently got into Metallica too due to Cliff, I've been learning bass. To my surprise that For Whom the Bell Tolls intro is lead by the bass😅. I think she would be surprised as well 😅
I can't believe you did not mention how Fade To Black was one of those songs that made many suicidal teens rethink their decision, thereby saving their lives. This was amid all the uptight critics and haters (parents and other authoritarian types) accusing all metal of "promoting" suicide, drugs, wanton sex, Satanism, and the rest of it.
Well, if you guys do a second Metallica reaction in the same structure this is what I would show her: The Four Horsemen Creeping Death Welcome Home And Justice for All Holier than Thou
Bravissimo FADE TO BLACK, 1 of the absolute best ever written played to perfection every time no matter the lineup of METALLICA! And probably the song to save the most lives.. if y k u k
@@danielrosenqvist5887 You’re right! I had to read up on this. The Old Waldorf, which was a club Metallica used to play a lot, was on 444 Battery Street.
I love metal, and Metallica was one of the first metal bands I got into (Dio, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath were the others). I remember falling in love with the genre after hearing Fade to Black when I was a depressed high schooler.

Same with justice, honestly! Dry and abrasive (in a good way) album cover to match the dry and aggressive sound on the album.
Its the same for literally every metallica album
Even more than that, I’ve always thought it sounds EXACTLY like the group shot on them on the back/booklet.
That one and Justice really do sound like their album covers.

Anvil's Metal on Metal (1982) was arguably the first thrash album. "March of the Crabs" and "Jackhammer" from that record are clearly thrash.

I think you're not letting her listen to the songs so much. Don't get me wrong. You're so sweet and I wanna be your friend, but sometimes she seems like "Oh. Again? Let me listen to the song". But she loves you too much to get annoyed LOL
Ask your wife that Metallica never fully recovered from Cliff's death as depicted in some kind of monster.
Then ask your wife if you can do a tribute video of Cliff Burton to show her how important he was as a band member and not just a bassist
Hey at least being mistaken for AC/DC is a massive compliment. Very few bands are on Metallica's level but AC/DC is up there with them.
Time to watch them live!
I noticed most people new to metal enjoy metallica more than other bands... That says quite much about their songwriting
Battery is a street in SF where they built their rabid early fan base playing the clubs.
You get a Like just for the Oilers jersey in the background! 😁
Battery is really more about the Metallica family of fans. I believe it takes its name from Battery Street where the boys lived for while in the early days.
Nice vid🎉
I recently got into Metallica too due to Cliff, I've been learning bass. To my surprise that For Whom the Bell Tolls intro is lead by the bass😅. I think she would be surprised as well 😅
Bro is living the life ❤
Very entertaining as always, cheers 😊
No way you didnt ask her «Metallica or MegadetH» hehe😂
Kill 'em All was NOT the first Thrash metal album.
The first Thrash Metal Album and Band was Reign in Blood by Slayer...
Bro get a grip 😂
@@VARVIS_ get it right. Lol
I can't believe you did not mention how Fade To Black was one of those songs that made many suicidal teens rethink their decision, thereby saving their lives.
This was amid all the uptight critics and haters (parents and other authoritarian types) accusing all metal of "promoting" suicide, drugs, wanton sex, Satanism, and the rest of it.
Wow Creed quote on the intro, eh?
@@devinup3981 on every intro 😂
Well, if you guys do a second Metallica reaction in the same structure this is what I would show her:
The Four Horsemen
Creeping Death
Welcome Home
And Justice for All
Holier than Thou
It’s also about a rough street called battery in the bay area
25:00 i mean...you HAVE to introduce her to Nightwish afrer this if you haven't already
Bravissimo FADE TO BLACK, 1 of the absolute best ever written played to perfection every time no matter the lineup of METALLICA! And probably the song to save the most lives.. if y k u k
Iron Maiden is a must!
Maybe have her react to Metalocalypse? See what she thinks of the show and then show her some Dethklok songs. Could be fun
Linkin Park would probably be the biggest, metal band at least in terms of people still listening to them. because they have the most mohtly listeners
Bro you have to show your wife Iron Maiden at some point, it’s required listening. lol. Greetings from B.C.
Whiplash intro sounds like Kiss Love Gun
Battery is also a reference to Battery street in San Francisco where Metallica rented a house together
No. The Metallica “Mansion” was on 3132 Carlson Boulevard.
@@danielrosenqvist5887 You’re right! I had to read up on this. The Old Waldorf, which was a club Metallica used to play a lot, was on 444 Battery Street.
You should get her to listen to pantera after seeing how she reacted to metallica
Pantera very soon
I love metal, and Metallica was one of the first metal bands I got into (Dio, Rainbow, and Black Sabbath were the others). I remember falling in love with the genre after hearing Fade to Black when I was a depressed high schooler.
