You are a true awesome person if you watched this entire video. I PROMISE the next Metallica reactions will be much shorter!
Thank you SO MUCH for watching even a short segment of this video!
I would take Ride the Lightning over any metal album released in the last 25 years.
same brother. Wish people could make good music like before. Now everything is overdone and overproduced as fuck.
@@tacticalburger375 Agreed.
Testament Gathering album 99 is really gd. Last 4albums are gd as can be
Anyone who actually appreciates metal as a genre and knows what they're talking about would not say this
tool likes to disagree....
If Creeping Death was released today it would be the best metal song in decades
If RTL was released today it would sell 30million copies in year alone
All of the little noises in Call of Ktulu are actually cliff's bass! The bass was distorted on this album except in the clean guitar parts.
i wanna say it's distorted bass wah, maybe with something else in there. a little bit of a mouthy effect.
@@zenoslimeIt's a fuzz mixed with a wah and BUNCH of delay and chorus, plus I think he did two takes (One for just the bass line, and one for the more soloish wah sound) But I could be wrong
He had a Fuzz pedal and a power wah, and other special effects.
"Huge" metal fan first time listening to Ride the Lightning? 😂🤣😂 um okay.
No kidding lol
For the views..and that dude cant stop blabbering
Eso es ... mentira
Exactly 😂
Maybe he’s really tall?
I am not 100% sure you even reacted to this album, you should separate your discussions about other music in other videos and actually listen to the tracks playing.
And talking through solos is a damned sin.
Talking over the whole Fade To Black solo hearing it for the first time. Unbelievable... 😢
@@666Tormentor666 I never got that far, I stopped the video when he was yapping over the ride the lightning solo..
I agree, too much talking imo. They should at least pause at some points and not disrupt the music. Too much talking and they miss what happened. Also, they need to remember that this album was released in the early 80’s. So the technology isn’t that good by today’s standards. They made do with what they had back in the day.
I will try to listen to more when we do Master of Puppets and talk less over the music. When I was editing the video I realized how much I missed. Its a bad excuse, but I think I was so excited about having someone with me, that I fell into having a conversation with him and less focusing on the music.
We are recording MoP on Tuesday and I promise to do better.
Dude, Metallica is the creator of this kind of Metal. They pioneered this
Damn they literally talked thru all of the good parts how do you even listen to a song when your talking thru it ?
he talked in the bridge to the full ride the lightning solo 😬
I didn't mind it too much. We've already heard these songs
Mate, I first hear RTL at ~age 11, having grown up previously on almost exclusively 70s and 80s classic rock (by which I mostly mean AOR). I can tell you, when I first popped that cassette into my stereo, it absolutely blew MY mind. I’d heard nothing so fast, heavy, and yet melodic, as the title track’s lead guitar solo. I kept rewinding and playing that solo over and over…Yeah: ‘Lightning’ and ‘Puppets’ were absolutely revolutionary.
Not just that but if you aren't actively listening how the fuck can you analyze whats going on? You can't! They are younger so trained to do more talking than listening. ha!
If they wanna talk about something they should at least pause the song. Its about listen first talk later.
When you show someone some awesome music... and they talk over all the good bits...
We definitely did talk over the music too much, but we learned and did much better with our more recent Metallica videos!
It's a reaction. If you want to hear the good bits. Listen to the songs.
@@rockmuschel Indeed. I'm referring to the 'reactors' ... they were missing the golden nuggets, riffs, transitions, fills while chatting. Which they acknowledged above. But thank you for your delayed self-gratification.
@@wmedia78 100% agreed, Patrick is talking way too much over everything, THE WHOLE FREAKING RIDE THE LIGHTNING SOLO! WHich is one of the coolest solos ever written by Kirk...
@@PatrickMusilekgo back and listen to the second half of fade to black again. You missed some cool stuff.
Guys is really hard to belive that you don´t know that the lead in the intro of "From Whom the Belltolls" is the legendary cliff burton.
I believe it all he did was talk instead of listen
They don't seem to know much at all and are going to learn cause they talk the entire time, modern "audio engineers" I guess. *eye roll*
"Metallica sucked live" has never been uttered by anyone with a brain. Sorry, but no. They are literally the best live band, ever... they sound BETTER live than on record.
TRUTH.
Didn't reach this point in the vid yet. Did they truly said it? If so, that is not a valid opinion in this case. One can dislike a band and remain objective. Metallica has a very solid record of giving beastly live shows throughout all their career. There are weaker shows for any band. But some of the most legendary belong to Metallica.
I don't know. Just to give two famous examples, I really don't like Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir. But they are top notch live, flawless.
I literally stopped watching as soon as that clown uttered that statement. No need to waste more time listening to his opinions.
Metallica sucks live. James is constantly out of tune, Lars is constantly out of tempo, Kirk starts playing random shit when he misplays a solo part. Rob's vocals are still trash after 20 years. They used to be great, but not anymore. This isn't 1989.
Man’s must have missed the entirety of the 80s and 90s Metallica live cause they we’re fucking unstoppable live, that’s the left dudes first take I haven’t really agreed with
That "noise" you hear in call of ktulu is Cliff Burtons bass roaring
Talks over the entirety of RTL and then says 'perhaps I should talk less'. Fleming Rasmussen, who produced this and MOP had previously produced Rainbow and probably found it hard to record a band playing this fast at times and make it sound very clear with the technology available at the time.
I found out about Rasmussen when editing the video (I was reading their WIKI page) and so I looked up Rainbow. They sound interesting as well! Very different from this album of course, but I LOVE all the keyboards!
For me, the leap in song writing between Kill 'Em All and Ride the Lightning is incredible. Still my favorite Metallica album.
I definitely agree with that! It sounds like they are taking themselves more seriously on Ride, and I like that!
Yeah they had actually written all the kill em all stuff years before when they were teenagers. That’s why ride sounds like such a leap even though it was released the next year
Metallica owns their entire catalog.
And have their own record label "Blackened Records"
Everyone hates "Escape" but it's one of my favorite songs. They famously can't play it live, by the way. But as a rebellious 18 year old kicked out of the house from an abusive stepdad, this song set the tone of my life. I still love it now 40 years or whatever later.
There's nothing wrong with Escape, I always loved it too. It is a lot more melodic in the chorus but that gives a necessary break from the intensity, sitting between Trapped Under Ice and Creeping Death.
Only metallica hates escape, everybody ive ever met who likes metal likes escape
Escape is a really good song. Mature for the time.
Of course they could play it live, it's super easy.
They just don't like it much
Its not that they cant, they just dont
Lars was a great drummer back then.
Innovative, evolutive, great arranger
He was Highly respected by whole profession in 80/90's
That makes complete sense to me. I'm sure many drummers at the time and still today use him as a main source of inspiration!
@@PatrickMusilek He was the first drummer of big 4 to play like this.
Lars is not american, he s danish.
He bring in USA what was already prototyped in Europe with Raven, Venom and stuff.
And developped on his own.
And also you don't arrange thoses songs without knowning what you were doing.
Its too much part of the song to be that.
After Lars had some problems , but what he did at least on the first 5 records will stay as contributions to the genre.
Take also the bass drum sound in And Justice For all, once that came out you had a billion of Power metal ( in the 80's it was more half way heavy and thrash, not Stratovarius ), Thrash, and a lot Death Metal and Hardcore bands that copied that sound in 1988-1989-1990, Scott burns stuff on Sepultura Beneath the remains, Arise, Slowly we rot by Obituary, also stuff like Thundersteel by Riot, Them by King Diamond , and Power metal by Pantera.
Even the snare stuff on Justice, you listen stuff like Control and Resistance by Watchtower (1989)...
Before The Black Album and Painkiller By Judas Priest and Pantera developped after the Power metal (1988) album with Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar display of Power did refined that sort of sound stuff for the future etc...
@@PatrickMusilek Lars actually took drum lessons in between Ride and Puppets (I think after the Ride tour ended).
Thats why the drumming is way more technically proficient on Puppets and especially Justice.
This was mindblowing album at the time and still is.
One of the best ever.
Probably better to listen to the songs, then discuss them after the song is over.
Current metal can't even be compared to the golden times of 70s and 80s, much like 90s rap destroys any rap that has been put out in the last 20 years.
there's still really fantastic metal being made these days, mostly in the underground black/death/grind scenes, plus some pretty wild heavy metal throwback stuff. obviously the old stuff stands tall, but it's a mistake to forget that the best stuff is often the hardest to find -- until some time has passed...
Lars is a great drummer and Metallica sounds fantastic live!
The first part of your sentence is wrong, the second half is correct!
Facts
@@muriloninja you are wrong 😬
@@bryana569 that's a cap
@@muriloninja wrong
That high riff at beginning of for whom the bells tolls is actually a bass. Rip cliff Burton.
That is awesome! I should have known that! Whenever I think its a guitar with an octave pedal it always ends up just being a bass!
These guys make me glad that I’m a guitarist instead of a sound guy
This geezer yakked thru the best part of the ‘RTL’ solo.
All of the little noises in Call of Ktulu are actually cliff's bass
I can’t believe you talked through ALL of Kirk’s best solo ever lmao
Ya it was pretty bad lol.
How can you guys comment or react to the album if you guys are talking through the whole shit!
ya its over the top, way too much talking and not nearly enough listening.
I was there back then and in high school. AT THE TIME, this was THE band. Not that other bands weren't trying, but this band was making things happen in metal. They didn't really get national airplay until 1989 when the video for "One" came out (their first BTW). But those in the metal scene knew who they were, mostly from "pirate" radio stations that had the balls to play their stuff. But it certainly wasn't getting airply on regular stations yet. But at that point with the AJFA album, they went more "mainstream", which caused the Black album to go platinum so many times after. And just before that, after they had recorded AJFA, they went on a tour called Monsters of Rock in 1988 and were one of the opening bands for headliners Van Halen and the Scorpions, which I attended in Indy. After their set, they were the talk of the town. People who hadn't heard of them were like "Did you guys hear that band Metallica? WTF was that? Those guys rip! Where'd they come from?" And everybody ran out and bought AJFA, then the video came out. It was almost like you'd just discovered the telephone or something. I think I listened to that album on repeat for like 4 months before buying their earlier albums. It was awesome, and reminds me why I love these reaction channels so much. Brings me back to that time when I discovered them!
holy hell. tooooo much talking how is this reaction video,how you supposed to react while talking nonstop. i got irritiated
Yup I actually almost wanted to grab my computer monitor and throw it at the wall. Had to pause the video several times, couldn't watch it for how irritating it is. Ugh lol had to let it go. Their loss for missing the experience of one of the greatest metal albums ever
fun fact....metallica played a concert in antarctica and did NOT play "trapped under ice"!!!!!! i am still mad about this !!!!
😲 no way!
Best metal album all time
Fact 🤘
I feel like I know enough about the technicalities of music to definitely argue with people who say Lars is not a good drummer. His personality 100% warps peoples opinion of him. Hes a fantastic drummer.
I agree! The more Metallica I hear the more I realize that he plays simply, yet very effectively. That is the mark of a great drummer!
He’s what I call a “tasteful” drummer. He knew what the songs needed and played exactly what serves the songs, especially from Master through the Black Album. I’m not as fond of his drumming now, but he definitely doesn’t get enough credit.
With this video being a year or so more, and that you have revisited it since then, I'd imagine you may have learned that:
This album comes out of a time when American Heavy Metal was first inspired and influenced by the NWOBHM - New Wave of British Heavy Metal - British bands that had just come out of the 70s, like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, and even Def Leppard. The American Heavy Metal bands that were most noted as influnced by that were Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer (The Big 4)
Metallica formed in late 1981, their first Album was released in the summer of 1983, and Ride the Lightening came next in 1984 - Megaforce Records
Sometime around the recording and release of this album, Metallica moved over to Elektra Records
ESCAPE was a track added at the last minute as the record company wanted a song that was shorter and more radio friendly, in hopes it would be receptive to rock radio at the time.
Remember, Metallica was not yet received as a rock radio artist ... and really that was still a few years to come.
James Hetfield was not a fan of doing this song, so much in fact that they never performed it in live in concert until 28 years later in 2012, once and have not done it again since.
CREEPING DEATH was the official single released to promote the album.
That, FADE TO BLACK, and FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS seem to be the tracks from that album most played on radio today.
That wah-whammy effect you mentioned in CALL OF KTULU is on the bass guitar!
That's also bass guitar in the intro to FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
Also the songs are all a quarter step UP from standard, to match the anvil at the beginning of Bell Tolls
Whoa that is interesting!
@@PatrickMusilek hence why if you try playing directly along with the album you’ll sound out of tune 10/10 times, because you are 😂 if you are dead E standard
I always found that weird. Why did they pitch up the entire album when they could've just pitched the anvil down. It makes no sense
You guys should react to the entire Moscow 1991 remastered concert with the newer audio, James’ vocals are off the charts in that one
Moscow '91 > Seattle '89
@@tallycahamuhlhetru26 San Diego '92 > both
1:00:45 Cliff used a Morley Power Wah Fuzz, Tel-Ray Morley Power Wah Boost (they haven't made this pedal since 1983), Electro Harmonix Big Muff, Electro Harmonix Bass Balls, and a BOSS CS-1 compressor pedal.
Wow talked over it all
Im so loving hearing these albums that i know inside out again for the first time through somone elses ears. Great series.
The song is called Fade to Black. Makes sense thematically that it would fade-out at the end.
That noise in Call of ktullu is the bass, cliff burton in the bass
Some facts about this album: The bell in For Whom The Bell Tolls is actually an anvil being hit by a sledgehammer; The verses in Fade To Black were played with a 12 string acoustic guitar and Kirk Hammett playing different and higher chords on electric guitar, thus sounding like a piano or being played hard as you said; The intro to Fight Fire With Fire other than the acoustic guitar and bass, had a harpsicord as well; What you heard in For Whom The Bell Tolls intro and in the background of The Call Of Ktulu is actually Cliff Burton, the bassist, who was famous for playing distorted bass solos even with Wah sometimes. Cliff was also a revolutionist for bass playing at the time, although he tragically died in 1986 in a bus crash during their Master Of Puppets tour.
Love it! I am editing our re-listen to this album right now (with a different guest) and this comment is perfect!
Around ‘89-‘90, my brother gave me a tape he had and told me to listen to it and that it was pretty cool. It turned out to be “Fight Fire with Fire.” He was right because it triggered an interest in music I hadn’t had before and still have. Mind blowing stuff at the time for me. By the time the Black Album came out, I was a huge fan and had most of their discography.
As someone who can’t stand modern over produced metal, it’s interesting to hear a totally different opinion.
Cliff was on bass that's not a whammy it was all his playing on for whom the bell tolls, watch 85 live version and you will appreciate his skill more. Also all the instrumentals you've heard on the rid, master, and justice albums are his body of work especially the words James speaks on to live is to die. It's cliff quote he wrote, so it was more a tribute song.
If they would actually listen they might have picked it out.
I do gotta say Patrick’s comment about how impressed he should be is hard, because from todays standpoint it sounds very mono and basic but THEN it was absolutely legendary and still is but compared to some of the shit they’re doing nowadays music wise it’s really generic but they were the first thrash metal band to do things like this, 5+ minutes songs, change ups etc
That's the hardest part for me, to try and see the music and the way it sounds in context for the time it was made.
lol WUT? Its the bands today that are generic and largely suck dick. Not a single metal band I have heard in modern times cant write sound like this. Too busy doing instrumental gymnastics and jerking off. If RTL sounds mono to you, you need to look at what your listening on.
@@PatrickMusileksongwriting is the most important consideration, and Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets remain among the best metal albums ever thanks to great songwriting (and performance).
1:08:52 there's no piano, but there is actually a tracking note for James' vocals left in the official release, played by an electric keyboard.
Damn. Can't even tell whether this is a reaction video or podcast 😅.
"Both?"...."Both?"..."Why not both?"
@@PatrickMusilek Why not put the title "Podcast/Reaction too.."?
Ride The Lightning Featuring Patrik Musilek on lead vocals/spoken word....I'm not sure you actually listened to the album holy hell haha. I am loving the Metallica reviews as I grew up on them and they were the only band I listened to in my childhood for years, but I haven't listened to their albums in their entirety in years. So checking out your Load/Reload and 72 seasons reviews so far and love the in depth commentary. On those you kept the talking more under control though and was a good balance. This one you're unleashed...like trying to watch a movie with my 5 year old...ha!!
Oh I regret this one SO MUCH. I have been thinking about doing a revisit of the album WITHOUT talking so much! Ride was the first one we did and we did not pause between songs, so it is just a constant stream of talking. It annoys me too!
@@PatrickMusilek haha, it was all good discussion, just poorly timed. I'm making my way through all of them and like I said, great stuff so far. I find Chris Parker and I have very similar tastes and views on the later albums. Curious if that will hold true for the earlier albums as well if he makes an appearance. Nonetheless, appreciate the content and once through metallica saw you had in flames and scar symmetry. Curious your takes on those. Would also be curious how you guys perceive solution 45 and soilwork!
That screeching noise you heard in the background of the call of ktulu is cliffs bass, he used wah pedals and overdrive and a bunch of other things that I don’t really know what they are to create that sound you heard in the background
My week at work has been awesome thanks to your content. Looking forward to when you do Death Magnetic 👍🏽
Imagine caring about a fadeout? "I hate this song cause of the last 5 seconds." 😅
Who is this guy ?
Man you are not reacting you are just talking. Listen first then review you didn't even listen the RTL solo
We are recording Master of Puppets tomorrow and we both promise to do better!
These are audio engineers and they don’t know what the floor Tom sounds like?
“i’m sure every song on this record was in E” he says while literally listening to a song that’s in F#
For the time, a lot of people seemed to feel what Metallica was doing was ahead of it's time. I can't remember who said it, it was one of the guys in the Bay Area thrash scene, but he said something like "Metallica was like 6 months to a year ahead of everyone. It's like they got a head start and nobody could catch up". Just like with every genre, eventually bands/artists begin to use similar ideas, but with the gap Metallica had, everything sounded fresh which really gave them an advantage to stay on top of the scene as the biggest thrash band and one of the biggest bands in metal for a long time.
Are you sure you reacted to the album or did you talk through the entire thing?
The piano sound on “Fade” is a kinda odd clean lead guitar thing that just plays like 3 notes in harmony with the vocals at the outset of each vocal line
The intro to For Whom The Bell Tolls was played on Bass by Cliff Burton and yea I believe he used a wah on it (or at least he did live)
Love the poster of Abed and Troy, best weird dynamic friendship in a tv show.
Also one of the most underrated tv shows.
At this time Metallica didn’t suck live. I’d probably say very few would say they suck live
they still dont. go over to their YT channel, they post multiple videos from every tour location and post it. their shows are tight and sound amazing.
I think late 90s early 00s they probably weren’t that great
4 Months late I know, but I wanted to expand on about what you said at 1:08:51 on Fade to Black; Fun Fact! There actually is a keyboard in there! It's inaudible, but this was done to guide James in doing the vocal parts, as this was the first time James actually wanted to sing the melody. You can hear the keys in the intro though
That is a common way to help a singer get the pitches correct. If for nothing else that to help practice. I myself have done this many times! So cool!
the guitar noise in the background of the call of ktulu is actually cliff burton on the bass, it was made to sound like a monster using a wah and fuzz you can also hear him using it on all the songs on master of puppets, RIP
The way to learn what was new is to go back and listen to the metal and punk albums that debuted in 1980-82, especially Priest, Ozzy, Maiden, Motorhead. They all had an album that came out just before Metallica debuted their first two albums
1:08:08 "This is so In Flames thats its. like. disgusting to me...".
Basically stating that an album that came out in 1984 has the sound of a band that didnt even form for another 6 years at least.
Why can't you compare two things that sound alike and disregard which came first? I didn't say that In Flames influenced Metallica! All I said was that what I was hearing "sounded like In Flames" to me since that is all I have as a reference. Hope that makes sense!
RTL was quite early in the timeline of thrash metal, and Metallica were definitely one of the pioneers in terms of developing the genre. This album was certainly important and groundbreaking for thrash and metal. Less so than Master of Puppets, but up there.
Lars is a good drummer, he’s not as technical as modern metal drummers (or even some of his contemporaries) and he has certainly gone through periods of being sloppy live, but he pioneered a lot of metal techniques and has been a consistently great arranger and creative drummer. He does far more for Metallica songs than just playing the drums.
1:00:38
I know I'm late to the party but in For Whom the Bell Tolls, at the beginning where you're asking if there was a whammy or octaver in the mix, nay, that was Cliff Burton on the bass playing that opening riff with his fingers, no pick, and he'd use 3 fingers.
RTL is a revolutionary album. A nuclear bomb dropped unto us… musical growth from KEA was immense and you haven’t heard Mercyful Fate yet… gosh Spotify version sounded worse… Apple Music has lossless versions of these. When this was released via Megaforce, it was extreme at that time, your metal friend was not even born then.. he has no idea how Metallica was during the 80s.
Chris call dad. Your metal card is on the verge of being revoked. James Hetfield mesa boogie Mark two is super famous for these earlier recordings. And that Wawah sound in the background is Cliff Burton.
And, they were the first to Pioneer, the EMG active style pick ups.
Yes, emg+scooped mesa or marshall became generic, it wasn't at the time. Maybe this was a seymour duncan pickup though, idk. The "whammy" stuff you hear sometimes (bells, ktulu) is probably bass with a wah.
The second "bell", the one on Escape, was actually an actual anvil and a hammer. (referring to the lyrics: "see them try to bring the hammer down") ;-)
The bass tone of Cliff was inspired by the piano (darkest piano notes sound quite evil) since he was a pianist as well.
They do come back to something what you know. It´s the riff of the verses in lower, and lyricwise, the first line of the chorus. I think that was smart and excuses the fade out.
Escape is not even my favourite track on the album, but your talk about it was interesting and made me add some "pointers" :-)
What you think is a bell in For whom the Bell tols is Lars hitting an Anvil. In Escape, I think they re used some of those takes
I love it when bands get creative like that!
1:21:00 in For Whom The Bell Tolls, they used a mix of a bell ringing and Lars hitting an anvil with a hammer, my best guess for Escape is that they did the same but changed how it sounds
This album, I guess probably because of the reverb on everything, has kind of a constant rumble (for the lack of a better word) thing in the background that gives it a spooky feel similar to that of Earth AD by the Misfits.
Keeps saying he can't relate to how this would've been received in 1984... Looks as old as all the current members of Metallica
Nice one again Patrick & Chris. I watched all of your Metallica reaction videos, even though I know nothing about sound engineering/production. I just listen but not in a critical way. I have noticed over the years, certain parts, sounds or aspects to some of the songs, that I may take a more critical view of, but it doesn't detract from how much I love and enjoy listening to them. Along with Master of Puppets, this is the album from Metallica that I've listened to the most. I have more appreciation of St Anger, load/reload and s & m, than I ever used to. They are my favourite band, along with Pink Floyd, but I listen to Metallica a lot more frequently. My other favourite artist is Gary Numan. Patrick, I mentioned that in a previous reaction re Gary Numan etc, and I will reply to your reply if I can find it. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your reactions to Magnetic & Hardwired 🔥🤘
Speaks over Fade to black solo...
We are recording MoP tonight and we are going to do better about talking over the music.
Metallica is great live
1:00:58 actually thats cliff burtons bass he used fuzz and wah and he placed there like 3 different track of that intro
I came here to watch your reaction to the Ride the Lightning solo and you talked through it. You listened to yourself talk more than you listened to the music.
This was our first Metallica reaction, and I feel like we did a much better job on all of our subsequent Metallica reactions which at this point includes all of Metallica studio albums. We even re-listen to this album since we feel like we did such a poor job on it, so if you want, give the channel another try and see if you can find a different Metallica album to watch the reaction to! If not that's awesome as well!
If you want to understand where does Thrash comes from and listen to where does metallica influences come from, look into NWOBHM, that includes bands like diamond head, saxxon, angel witch, tygers of pang tang and ofcourse Iron Maiden.
I fast forward 15 seconds at a time and Patrick is STILL TALKING OVER EVERYTHING throughout this video
Whenever you guys asked "Whats that, is that a Wha, or what, an octave pedal" No, that was Cliff Burton on bass
51:16 Nope. Cliff Burton plays that lead acoustic intro
For Whom The Bell Tolls intro rif is played in bass
did you even listen to any of the songs of this album with all the talking over??
We did talk too much over the music in this video. It was the first time I had a guest in person and I was just so excited to have a good conversation with Chris! We did much better for MoP, Justice, and Black Album!
@@PatrickMusilek its such a incredible album and it did not seems you were taking anything in, i cant understand how you can listen to music this way,,, hey but maybe its just me:)
Keep in mind, Michael Jackson's Thriller album came out TWO YEARS before this. So THIS was WAY different than anything being played on 80's radio in 1984. I would say that THIS STUFF along with Van Halen at the time was what kids who wanted to play electric guitar were trying to figure out how to play. And there were a LOT of 80's kids who wanted to play electric guitar because of these guys.
That noise in The Call of Ktulu is Cliff fckn Burton on the bass.
Take no chances, no risks, don't evolve or improve, and you might be as consistent as SLAYER as well
“Guitar noise!!!!!” Damnit Chris, it’s Cliff’s lead bass. Well worth your time to watch them play this live with Trujillo on bass, he nails all that lead bass stuff
1:32:44 It's the bass guitar.
First gonna say I will definitely listen to all your Metallica vids. Second, you should do this with the Ozzy-era Black Sabbath albums
God they just drone on! Couldn't get past the first 10 mins. and I thought I was being patient.
We did talk too much over the music in this video, but we did much better with MoP, Justice, and the Black Album!
1:07:21 im really curious as to how you feel like talking through arguably one of the best solos ever written, intro on Fade to black. Maybe listen first, comment after so you know what you are commenting
You have stumbled onto our very first Metallica reaction! We received a ton of feedback that we talked too much over the music (rightfully so, looking back) but we took that advice to heart. I recommend our Justice, Black Album, Kill Em All, 72 Seasons, or Load album reactions where we paused in between songs to discuss our thoughts and did a lot more listening!
@@PatrickMusilek great, and well done on taking advice, thats not for everybody. But it kept me as a sub here 👍🏻
@@danielskar7783 thank you very much! Metallica has changed my channel and I am having so much fun learning about this band!
I can't believe you just kept talking during the whole legendary solo in Fade to Black.
I definitely talked too much in this video, but I took the criticism to heart and did much better in the Metallica videos we have filmed since then!
Metallica Seattle '89 live should be your first live reaction. This will show you what Metallica is all about! 🤘😎🤘
An audio engineer who doesn't listen to the actual music? 🤔
waiting Load/Reload reaction...good stuff
1:33:30 its Cliff Burton's bass with distortion and wah peddal and this song is not boring at all. My favorite track of this album.
Talking the whole time during the solos. Great way to discover an album.
This was our very first Metallica reaction and we learned a lot from it. We took the comments that we talked too much to heart and decided to do the videos a little bit differently from then on.
I highly recommend checking out any of our other Metallica reactions since we recorded this video we went and have done all of their studio albums including re-listening to this album later on!
Homie just talked through the ride the lightning solo…
This was our very first Metallica reaction, but I took all the criticism to heart and we did much better on all of our subsequent Metallica videos. Also, we plan on doing a revisit of this album soon with a different Chris, so maybe that would be a better one to watch when that one comes out!
Oh and Patrick, I love I ran by flock of seagulls too!
Very late to say this but I heard you saying the lead guitar is out of tune in Fade but in fact, the whole Ride album is out of tune, they pitched up to E# in post-production phase.
