AJFA is my favorite metallica album, It was also the best era of James vocally.
It’s probably mine too. Great songs the mix is a little off but the record is great
@@metallicaopinionz 🤮
Definitely
@@Scorned405 To me justice is defective masterpiece. That’s only way I can describe this album.
Yes... I don't know why it had negative vibes.
My dad gave me his vinyl of ajfa, it was laying in his garage for 30 years. It’s the greatest gift he ever gave to me, the smell of that old vinyl alone aahh🤤
Double gatefold isn't it. I remember my mate putting it on his record player back in '88 very soon after the release. So exciting. My favourite Metallica album...
I’m kind of obsessed with AJFA. The sound, the cover, i don’t know why but i love it so much. although their best and most complete album is ride the lightning there’s just something about justice that makes me wanting to know every single detail about the making of that record
The pure production level was out of this world for it's time

I love the cover too. When I was a kid it blew me away how on the first four albums the logo was always the same and it always fit what the cover of the album was. I especially love how this one is sunken into the marble and it’s weathered and old like a tombstone or a pillar at a courthouse. The Whitesnake self titled cover has very similar vibes.
I never disliked the guitar sound on this. They’re f&$@in’ heavy and sound massive. Too bad the bass is inaudible.
Yes. Same here bro!
Nice words,same here
Metallica will never admit it but it’s their best album.
@Σπβγ musically, intellectually, it is. hardest to replicate, even they cant play it
They can it’s just extremely difficult. They also were still reeling from Cliff
@PSvGi it quite literally is
My first Metallica concert was on Damaged Justice tour, April 1989! Unbelievable! Totally blown away! 🤘😊🔥
Still have the tour tshirt. It barely fits me 🤣🤣
@@diegobado1584 lol! 😊😅
I’m so jealous you got to see that tour. Id KILL to go back and watch that
My first as well 🤘April 89 Toronto
That album is more relevant today than it ever was...
You ain’t kiddin!
@@setharnold3699 When it comes to justice and politics, in this day and age, fuck no!!!
Independence limited, freedom of choice is made for you my friend, freedom of speech is words that they will bend!
Exactly
“Sonically you can hear who mixed the album” 😂. Thanks for uploading 🤘
The best album. It was ahead of time.
In a way it still is, because there is no other metal album that sounds like it.
@@pfzt I love AJFA. Not a fan of the online remixes. But nothing needs to be mixed like that again. So I guess it will always have a unique sound.
nope
Definitely I heard it on vinyl at my mate's house in '88 very soon after release. It was a double / gatefold album.
AWESOME RECORD and a great band in their prime! they are still a great band but nothing will ever come close to JUSTICE!
master of puppets comes very close
I agree, Justice is my favorite, all the different riffs, guitar harmonies etc. Its amazing that 24 and 25 year olds put all of that together.
@@demonocusmetalocus3558 MOP is my favorite album, but AJFA is definitely my second favorite.
@@nckhed i go back and forth on those 2 some days i like puppets more some days i like AJFA more
@HARRY THOMPSON ride the lightning is a great album but master of puppets and ajfa are slightly better
AJFA is such a bittersweet album. only they know how Steve Thompson mixed it before lars changed it to his liking
At the end of the day, Metallica always traces back to this album. Nothing they did before this, or after this, was or is as good as this album is.
This album was the edge of Metallica's peak.. INCREDIBLE.
I flip between Justice and Puppets being their best albums. They both are their best and there’s no definitive way to be able to distinguish which one is better than the other because they’re both so fantastically done. Damage Inc. is my favorite all Tim song from them, but I’d still go with Justice being my favorite album if had to pick between the 2.
Funny, I’ve been doing that for the past 30 years.
Yea to me it’s MOP or AJFA… MOP is how I discovered them so I feel that has more nostalgia for me…
The older I get the more I lean towards Justice and Ride the Lightning. I love Puppets to death, but Ride was just so exciting and dynamic. Puppets is clearly their magnum opus though. If I had to listen to one Metallica record though I'd go with Justice.
"Lars was really into *Cocaine* back then..." - J. Newsted
No Shit? Lol 😂
Which bands weren't?
COCAINIUM
So what Metallica life sobriety fuckin sucks it's the truth fan since 87 👍 California
@@luisareiani9765 oh shit ur still alive? nice!
I feel like if they were to have bass on the album, this fucking world will be obliterated.
Metallica's And Justice For all album is still the greatest, loudest, and the most aggressive album ever recorded in 1988.
OooOooWEEEEEeeeooooOOOOO
Not just 1988. Ever recorded
AJFA always seems like the album the band is uncomfortable talking about for a variety of reasons.
Yeah
Because it was their APEX and they sucked after it lol....
@@ryananthony4840 ReLoad it's a fucking masterpiece
@@hombrerusode40anos72 😂😂😂😂🤢🤢🤢(I don't have actual puking emojis)
@@slulzspot7583 i still don't listen to st anger
😂 Lars.. "Accidental" yep. He accidentally turned Jason down. Still my favorite Metal album ever.. Close to Master of Puppets. I hear the term "metal" and I think of those two album covers.
Been a Metallica fan since 86’ AJFA came out in my senior year of HS. For me it’s Ride, Puppet, and then tie justice/kill ‘‘em all for 1 2 3
I think my list is the same! Ride is def #1… then it’s a very close 2, 3 & 4 but I think I agree with you!
My first Metshow was in this tour with Queensryche opening on their Mindcrime tour. 2nd row, Dallas Reunion arena. Got cam pics and a pick from James!
MY FAVORITE METALLICA ALBUM
And justice for all 👍 what a great album proud to be fan of Metallica since 86 Metallica is our generation 👍👍👍 fan from California
Justice was such a good album. Don’t get me wrong, basically all of their albums are great! But Justice was just on another level
old interview, I watched it a few years ago. still cool to watch again
This is the very first metal album i’ve ever listened to. I was into GNR, queen and some hair metal before.. so i was “shocked” when i heard this. I thought, this guys are not playing around.. especially when i saw the four angry faces at the back of the cover art (it was a cassete tape). Great album. Still one of my favorite up to this day.
AJFA is definetly my favorite Metallica's album, The Shortest Straw is my top track along side Harvester of Sorrow on that album
I play my drums to those songs all the time. Especially shortest straw. There’s a lot of instrumentation in that song.
The first Metallica album I fell in love with … turned me onto the rest going into the 90’s.
My recollection is coming back from school in the winter playing my Zx Spectrum game ' Target renegade ' and AJFA cassette on repeat.
It's their best album. Period
My fav Metallica album
Their music at least their themes of the lyrics over the years are like them figuring the world out over the years. No one has ever done it as well as them
Love the album. One of my favorites, if not "the favorite".
I was in 6th grade 1988. We had inside recess and my friend Josh White played And Justice For All on the school tape player in the room. I didn't know what to think of it at first. I was used to AC/DC but METALLICA was heavy as f***k. I buddy Dax told his mom he wanted it for Christmas and we both listened to it. The songs were super long and I remember the song ONE got really popular and the album grew on me. I had mom buy me the tape and been a fan ever since.
Justice and Master are my 1 albums. Without justice there is no Master and without Master there cannot be any justice
Kirk Hammett absolutely did so good on that Album his solos are the best his clean solos and his heavy metal solos when he’s playing the lead guitar is so much brilliant
James is an absolute hero, talking about his darkness. He transmuted it pretty impressively.
James wearing a FNM top. Hell yeah!
The Justice Album is still my favourite Album of all time love it Metallica crew
Love the meaning
Best Metallica album, ever..
I agree
Last TRUE METAL ALBUM SAW THEM 3X ON THIS TOUR WAS REALLY GD TOUR
A-FUCKEN-MEN!!
Re-release it with Jason turned up.
Metallica were still young in late 1980s as well when James Lars and Jason had hair and they were still headbanging on stage together while performing their justice songs nine songs so long in total.
Thank god they didn’t change anything or cut anything from justice it’s absolutely perfect.
lol lars didn't want to call it a concept album, then when rob came along and was asked about AJFA and he thought of it as a concept album
AJFA the only Metallica album i still listen to.
Stop lying 🤥
Sorry not a metallica fan boy !!!
Best Album
Last TRUE METAL ALBUM BY THEM
@@thomasackerly2410 black album? Death magnetic?
@@theboss6745 not even close lol. Though great, the black album is just a watered down version of the previous 3 albums. Death Magnetic sucks.
Love Justice despite the lack of Base, would be cool if they remixed it with base as well would be another album
AJFA..My first of 5 Metallica concerts.. What a fkin show!!.🤘
AJFA FOREVA ONE LOVE!!!
My favorite album.
They just came out of the dark losing Cliff and they were at their prime. Very truthful and passionate album.
Im also a Libra, so its pretty cool to see the sign represent something metal lol
They know it was their best and they went downhill since lol.... They always making excuses 😂
Best Album Metallica has ever recorded love James Hetfields Vocals and Lars Ulrich of Metallica his drumming was the best on that album as well Jason did absolutely amazing 🤩 too
The 80s rocked
Jason had to be super cool to put up with the shit from James and Lars. Justice was their last great thrash album, before they went adult contemporary
AJFA had just come out and I had to have it but I was grounded. I got off the bus before my parents got home and hopped on my bicycle to go to the tape store in the mall and buy it and get back before my parents got home. Same day they were moving a giant house down the highway, and diverting traffic down my road. So one lane was completely stopped. I rode between two cars and wham! Plowed by a car. I woke up on the side of the road with my neighbor slapping me in the face “wake up son!” Ambulance came and took me to the hospital, dude they cut up my Jean jacket with all my patches on it! I just remembered being scared to death of my mom because I was grounded, anyway she was just happy I was alive. She asked if there was anything i needed I said I need the new Metallica tape, she got it for me. Man, my face looked like sloth from the goonies. And I remember listening to one like “I can’t remember anything…” and I really couldn’t remember anything lol that was the album that made me pick up a guitar and I never put it down. I totally owe my career path to James and Kirk thanks guys. That album will always be a part of me.
Jason continued tour to after cliffs death 43 day after the accident and he was still in Metallica while the band performed on the damaged Inc tour from 1986 until February 1987 and their recording And Justice for all from January 28th to May 1st 1988 until it was released on August 25 1988 and the album of cliffs death in 1986 and the album to future Jason Newsted as their bassist for the first time ever and they did the damage justice tour from 1988 to 1989.
To live is to die by Metallica was written as a tribute the band’s bassist Cliff Burton who killed in a bus accident in 1986
Video 10:33 minutes long.
Lars talking for 9:33 minutes.
Well, Lars is Metallica. You can say what you want but he co-wrote all the songs and has this band in his pinky finger.
@@tong_levin Yes, you’re right. Massive respect for Lars and what he has accomplished. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t talk a lot 😉
@@Anynamewilldodammit By the way, how much of the 9:33 talk is "um"? :D
@@tong_levin Haha true 😄
It’s his band
Cliff Burton rest in peace 🪦 February 10th 1962-September 27th 1986 aged 24 years old joined Metallica from December 1982 to September until his tragic death in 1986 while tour in Sweden who tragically died in the bus accident so sad.
I know I'm gonna get hate but I'm glad there was no bass on the justice album. It embodied the absence of Cliff and it was a drumming masterpiece as well as guitars. Lars done so much on that album that it's undeniable how great the songs flow due to how the drums were arranged.
Now picture Chuck biscuits era Danzig with Hetfield on rhythm guitar keeping John Christ and throwing in Jason of course.
I don’t care about the production it doesn’t bother me the songs make up for it the best Metallica album in my opinion
The production was epic
I listened for years before I noticed there was no bass. Granted, I was new to active listening to albums. I loved everything that WAS audible, I didn’t pay any attention to what wasn’t there, I was so into it.
To me metal is open E single string riffs and powerchords. Lyrics about hate lyrics about war and jealous rage. And good pounding drums. And every song ends with suicide before confession
When did Kirk become Jan Brady?
Late 80s of Metallicas music 🎶
I can even comprehend how Lars accent/dialect/inflection, whatever you want to call it, works.
The newest version of '...And Justice for Jason' has Jason's own Bass tracks mixed back into it... and its amazing... its the pinnacle of 'Justice' - there is a CD copy available on the 'Bay... trust me - you need it... once you hear the drums fixed and bass added, the album takes on an entire new life. Go get it now...
the more i think about the ajfa incident the more i realize metallica has always been guitar driven. even on 1st 3 albums the bass is pretty low. but cliff was a genius at counter melody and rhythm, and always came up w a part of his own, that would blend in and barely be noticable. newsted however pretty much doubled james guitar and made the finished product sounding clanky, rather than smooth. if u listen to jason for all they sound like flotsom and jetsom lmao. they prolly added bass last and were stuck, being so satisfied w every other part except bass
and since newsted played note for note they had no choice but to turn him down n order to get the smooth, punchy, unique sound quality and performance they were after. there was no pro tools and james n lars pretty much produced the album. kinda white stripes style lol
James said the songs were too long and limited the amount of songs they could play live. Fast forward 35 years and they can’t make a song less than 6 minutes long. They’re simpler than Justice but not shorter in the slightest 🤨
You got another thing coming
You know what the oldest most annoying Metallica joke of them all is?
“Hey this is John Butthead official UA-cam toolbag and blog spammers. After minutes of work I have carefully isolated the bass track of Jason Newstead on And Justice for all. So let’s play it.”
.....
Good album
I only have tattoos of every AJFA… Song. 🤘❤️🎸🎤🥁🎸❤️🤘
When I was in my teen years, I thought I knew what Metallica (and others) were singing about.
Now, being 50 - I don't.
Jaymz looks painfully nervous and shy during the interview,, even the mighty heto has moments of shyness
That last sentence…
Makes you wonder sometimes how the album after Justice would of turned out had they not hired Bob Rock or any Bob Rock types and continued to go with their own instincts, as Lars put it. James would of never started that 'oh' and 'ah' and 'yea yea' shit, for sure.
Flotsam and Jetsam
Andy Warhol came back to interview Metallica.
'We wanted to be as tight as possible'
Makes sense why every album after this wasn't good.
Shit take
Never have understood the hate the production gets on Justice. The band themselves talk crap on it, let alone the fans. I love the dry, mega-tight, concise, guitars - the hoarse, raspy, barking James does on the mic - the combination of clicky but thunderous, meticulous drums. Kirk's solos have actual composition; he actually lost sleep over those solos. I miss that Kirk. Jason got the short end of the stick, but that's on him. He chose to double the guitar parts, not anyone else. He let the bass frequencies sit in the guitar pocket. I'm just sayin'. Sucks for him, but he's not an innocent party. He didn't want to rock the boat, but hell man, rock that boat.
Watching them play the title track live on that tour feels like the audience was very much into it all the way through. Why don’t they just admit they wanted to make a more commercial album?
I personally like the way this album sounds and always have. It’s my favorite Metallica album and it sounds awesome…nothing else sounds like it and that is NOT a bad thing.
Wow..I can see why I thought that they were blacked out!!lol while writing ajfa...
K tubers let's write a riff..I'll start...
they made hits when they didnt know what they were doing, and then when they thought they knew what they were doing they would bomb
Woulda been cool if they brought Jason in for this interview, but considering the circumstances that would have been awkward.
Kirk and James guitar is the best on that album Jason’s bass guitar was good on that album Lars’s drumming was also good on that album too dyers ever Is his good drumming skills
Master and AJFA is my favs but i think black albumn was good for metallica. I just wish they went back to the old style of writing and mixed it with black album style. Instead we got load lol. is what it is i guess.
Metallicas first Album after Cliff died and first album to future Jason on the bass guitar and Justice for all in 1988 36 years ago they only play few songs instead of long songs like beck then but they should play more Justin songs more often live like they did back then.
See I can listen to justice and never think the songs are long because they are so well written and take you on a journey. Now I can listen to anything they do these days that's 8 plus minutes and I end up thinking fuck how long is this damn song 😂😂
Totally agree.justice tour was my first concert 89 Australia
AJFA was my introduction to the band and is still my favourite album of theirs. I think it has the most consistent quality of songs from start to finish (along with Kill em all) of all of their albums, though I could skip Frayed Ends of Sanity.
PS. the album MoP is overrated..
Really I think frayed is a brilliant song I guess everyones different as ive aged and progressed in playing guitar I started to like different songs of theres better i guess.
@@adammoffatt3832 I find it boring.
@@adhominemsis-t.australisensis Thats fair enough I mostly like that riff before the solo and justice the song I find most boring it drags on to much.
@@adammoffatt3832 yes the title song is long, but it has really cool riffs, arrangements and lyrics, in my opinion. It does drag on a bit but unluke Frayed Ends, has plenty of redeeming qualities.
@@adhominemsis-t.australisensis I just think that riff before the solo on frayed is one of the most mental metal riffs I ever heard dont even know how he came up with it.
One of the best metal albums of all time along with Judas priest albums
Definitely AJFA was Metallica's best album. After that, money talked louder...
AJFA is by faaar their best album, nothing comes close in terms of thrash ever. It’s just a shame it was their “last” one of that kind
Death magnetic is actually quite good
@@dakisdada1711 Yeah agreed, it has some amazing songs on there
Was right whacked from the time I pressed play on my cassette deck. I was like WTF is this.
I remember taking a second look to see if I bought the wrong tape... 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Then after the first few songs, I thought where the fu*k is the bass.
Listening to Kill Em All... Then Ride the Lightning... then onto Master... This album was a total let down in so many ways. With that said, it took a looooong time for this album to grow on me.
Metallica treated Jason like garbage every single day he was in the band so it was awful nice of him to take the bands astronomical sales with each new release with him when he left the band.
James interview in Japan, maybe him to be a good with coke? Maybe me wrong but, I don't know. 🤔
No. Not James. Kirk & Lars. Not sure about Jason.
The songs may be a bit long, but they're all fucking good. Too bad their longer songs suck now.
This is arguably Metallica's best album in terms of consistent songwriting, but it will forever be tainted by Lars and James' decision to mix Jason out of the record, which was cruel and reprehensible. That was not an artistic decision, that was just violence, and it ruined the mix.
there is plenty of ...And justice for Jason copies floating around to be downloaded
People should really get over not hearing Jason on this album. It just how it sounds. I could care less about the drama around why it sounds that way. We thought it sounded great in its day.
They should not get over him missing from the live show for almost 20 years now....what difference Jason made on stage with them.
@@imkuntox I think it's great that fans have done their own remixes, but Met really should release a remastered version where Jason is actually playing, even if he has to re-record his tracks. Remastering the album without bass was just a waste of time.
@@bwgti But it sounds that way because Lars deliberately erased Jason's contributions and James sat by passively while it happened. The producer and engineers intended for the bass to be audible in the mix, and people definitely noticed it then. And if you're upset about Jason leaving the band, this is where it all started.
Actually, Jason played the exact same parts as James riffs, if you have recorded both guitars and Bass as a Guitarist, you will know why that is a bad idea.... The bass need to be layed down a lot differently, like how they did it in Black Album, Jason really shined in that one.
I would rather have encouraged Jason to rewrite the bass-lines then to turn up the drums, which is a bad formula as well.
