*drags cigarette* mmmm... was it good for you guys, too?
😂🤣😂
@@AlexHefner ua-cam.com/video/HSLJydRNgXQ/v-deo.html
That’s a link to a “Proper” AJFA remaster featured in Rolling Stone magazine. Uploaded by Jason Mason. The Bass is clear but not over powering.
*exhales, takes a swig of Wild Turkey*
Duck yeah that was good. I can't wait to get in my truck, crank this up and DRIVE!
@@roldanrosario243 YES... And justice for Jason.
They hated Jason and always had his bass turned down because Lars was anal about his fucking drums
@@johngreen5837 nah they didn’t hate Jason. They were upset about cliff passing and they felt like Jason was a replacement instead of an addition to their music. Kirk loved Jason and James and Lars got over it later on
next?? RIIIDE! THEEE! LIGHTNIIIIING!!!!!
indeed
OH YEEEAAAHH!! OH YAAAAAAAHHHHH??!!
F*CKING RIDE THE LIGHTNNNNNNNNNNINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG
Yes
RIIDE ZEE LIGHTNINNNNNG
The Ride the lightning album should be the next!!! ⚡🤘🏻
Yes
this
Yes
The weakest of the 4 classic albums but still way above the turd that is the black album.
@@minners71 nah kill em all is the weakest then and justice for all
This is the ultimate "we all went off" type song. Lars is riding the drums, Kirk is going ballistic, and James is just yelling at his parents.
And poor Jason is over in the corner not realizing Lars unplugged his amp.
@@narcissistectomy5134 😂😂😂
@@narcissistectomy5134 most underrated comment I've seen
Nailed it...I was gonna say something like ‘that base line was sick’, but you got it
Riding? More like slaughtering the drums!
"I've outgrown that FUCKING LULLABY". Thats my favourite part
My favorite line "You clipped my wings before i learned to fly". Its just. So true.
That whole section is amazing
@@Hihaifisch Sad But True
You can REALLY hear the frustration in James voice on that line
Children are seen but are not heard
I have wait so long for this I would like to see him do the “Ride the lightning” album
I was just thinking that the other day! Ride the Lightning is their best album imo 🔥
Same
yup, it should be next
Yessss!!!!
Yes, beat me to it
On to Ride The Lightning. LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!
Creeping Death-ah
Producer: How fast do you want Dyers Eve to be?
Metallica: Yes.
@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head You know damn well that Lars managed to pull through the Justice era thanks to coke, right?
@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head I saw them on their last tour and at one point James says "holly shit, I see old people" and someone from the crowd yells out "Yeah, they're on the stage" hahahaha, everyone got a good laugh out of that one
@@Capydachi That's HILARIOUS! Haha!
@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head That's my goal too. I have to see them least once in my life!
@@eevee2512 they play a good show. The only time I saw them live was 3 1/2 years ago, but it was damn good. The best day of my life right there
When you want to show another person what Thrash Metal means, Dyers Eve is a perfect song to show.
Fax
couldn't agree more
Pure thrash metal in this song
@@AlexHefner Hi Alex😁
And Battery, Damage Inc etc and all Slayer and Exodus.
I am a 46 year old man but this song still makes me tear up as this song describes my dad perfectly. God what an asshole he was.
My father left me 6 yrs old, my little sister 3yrs & mom ( she is an Angel thank God for her) it was devastating, he just left for selfish reasons and he was really the one who lost out.💯
Yup. I'm there with ya man
My dad was great, but due to his bad start in life, and bad dangerous jobs, and smoking a lot, he didn't live long, been gone 30 years. I'd burn the whole world to ashes just to talk to him again. Sorry my dudes you'd all burn too. ☹️
Yup me too
@@blackcountryme Me too dude
🤘👿🤘
Today I honestly cant believe that 22-25 year old guys wrote this song, Dyers Eve will forever be a masterpiece in my eyes
Y eso que ya no estaba Cliff
And Jason is nowhere to be found...
Really happy you did the transition from To Live Is To Die...smart and epic. You win today!
Only way do it justice. No pun intended. Screw you Jethro Tull and screw the idiots who denied Metallica the award they deserved.
@@jxchamb It wasn't Jethro Tull's fault that they won for an album that didn't deserve to win. The fact that they didn't show up to the awards ceremony is proof. Don't put the blame on Jethro Tull
You definitely gotta go backwards and react to Ride the Lightning!! It’s a stellar album
Its the gold standard
Indeed it is
RTL will always be their best album
Alex: Uploads a Metallica video
Me: I MUST click, it’s the LAW!
Good segway for him to do Judas Priest: Breaking the law
Agreed
@@miconis123 ehh I never really cared for Breaking the Law. I much prefer Painkiller.
@@GreatOldOne9866 I'm the opposite. I don't like the shrill singing of painkiller
@@miconis123 ha ha ha you may want to avoid the band Death then.
We had to write a poem about parent/child relationships in English when I was doing my GCSEs. The assignment was met with groans by a lot of us, but one of my classmates had a galaxy brain moment and submitted the lyrics for this song. His gamble that our teacher wasn't familiar with Metallica paid off and the sumbitch got an A* for it XD
What a great story!
With the phrase "I've outgrown that fucking lullaby"? Lol
@@alexhollon7526 Yeah, word for word. We were 16. Swearing wasn't a massive deal and the coursework was about communicating emotion, which swearing generally does very well :P
Lars is suing your friend when he finds out about this.
@@mrslippyfist9155 🤤
"It's one of the those songs that needs to go louder but my volume doesn't go any higher." That's Metallica in a nutshell 😂🤘
it was....once upon a time
Thank you Alex! Love ya man!
Now it’s time to RIDE THE LIGHTNING⚡️
🤘😈🤘
edit: 2.3 thousand views in 23 minutes. See? We’re loving this!
It has BEEN time for Ride The Lightning. I was asked for Ride The Lightning after he did Master of Puppets!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
We must first
KILL EM ALL to Ride The Lightning my brother
That song has CRUSHED for so many years 🤘🔥🤘
The amount of perfect masterpieces that Metallica created is unprecedented. It's not humanly possible.
the three album run they had from RTL to Justice is unfathomable...and unmatched. it's honestly ridiculous
Also if you listen to James dyers eve riff tape, you can feel some magic in this music, riff, melody, can't explain. Also intro/harmony that did not make it to the album is so good.
@@jasonx4008 How can you NOT include Kill 'Em All??? That was where it all started. IMHO there's no better representation of the raw, angry, young, hungry, explosion of thrash, that lurked within this band than their debut!
Especially that incredible bass solo Anesthesia/Pulling Teeth by The Legend Cliff Burton.
I completely agree with your list, with the exception of the omission of K.E.A. !!!!! \m/
@@Impalaman1968 Fine Killing is My Business and Business is Good AND Kill 'Em All
@@bx3556 100% agreed!
2 branches of the same tree!
Too hard to call as which one was better.....I love them both! IMHO , 2 of the greatest thrash debuts in music history.
I have a bit of bias towards being a rabid fan of both bands. I actually saw Metallica WITH Mustaine back in 83 when they first came to the east coast. Nobody had ever heard of them yet.... They opened up for 2 of our local bands here in Baltimore ( Raven and Archangel) at a club called Coast To Coast...and proceeded to blow both bands off the stage!
Met the whole band that night, actually bought a cassette copy of their demo directly from Lars, ( which I still have to this day ) and hung out with them after they played.
I was only 15 at the time...technically not even old enough to be in the club...but the drinking age back then was 18, and I could pass for being 18 at 15, lol.
Needless to say...I have been a fan ever since. When I heard that they kicked out Dave...and he had formed a new band of his own, I rushed to buy their first release the day it came out. Again...blown away....killer album.
In 93, I had the great pleasure of re-meeting Dave and the Megadeth boys after their show at the Towson Center Arena.( STP opened ) Dave "spotlighted"
(he literally had the light guy shine a spotlight on us...lol) me and my buddy moving the folding chairs from the front row so we could start a pit! He thought it was great, and said over the mic... "look at these two crazy MF'ers re-arranging the seating!" and had one of their roadies come and give us backstage passes to come meet the band after the show. We ended up on their tour bus hanging out and partying with them. Again...super cool bunch, Dave was incredibly gracious, and we ended up jamming together on a couple of acoustic guitars they had on the bus. He and I actually jammed together on a riff that became the song known as "Trust".
So, needless to say...I have a bit of personal bias towards being a fan of BOTH bands.
This has ALWAYS been too hard to call...they're BOTH great debut albums. For me personally....it's like asking me if I like steamed crabs or steamed shrimp....I love them both, and can't choose a favorite.
I guess the only way that I can sum it up, is that they're the two greatest thrash debut albums off all time!
Alex: What's your favorite song on the album?
Me: Yes.
The riff right after Kirk's amazing solo is another reason why James is a riff master!
Now go back and do Kill Em' All and Ride The Lightning albums. Dyers Eve has always been one of my favorites. Right up there with Battery.
Battery is a different kind of thrash. this is has anger and direction. Battery is all rowdy energy.😈
Yes! Kill Em All then Lightning, please.I imagine Alex will do RTL next based on the fan request and I love RTL but I'm hoping he goes back to how it started next.
@@chrisw1360 Ride the Lightning is a great album but it cannot reach the thrash metal energy Kill em All has.
Kill em all!
the shock effect of the transition from to live is to die to dyers eve has paid off! hahaha
I appreciate that you read the comment and followed the suggestion :)
the answer to jaymz's addictions are in this song
i remember listening to the cassette for the first time...same reaction. LOL
Fun fact: they didn’t perform this song until 2004 because that’s how difficult the drum parts are. They were spliced together in the recording process, and for Lars to perform this song every single night that they promoted the Justice record wouldn’t have been physically possible for him.
They should have just had Lombardo play it live
That's bullshit, I think Lars could've played this in the justice tour. The closest song in terms of speed would be Battery, which they played every night in the justice tour. I guess seeing them play this in the 80's is something we can only dream about.
I can believe that. This song's drumming is incredibly difficult.
This song is MEAN. Just raw and powerful and in your face!!
Alex wasn’t ready for this song with such hard hitting lyrics.
So glad you included the ending of To Live is To Die..that change over is startling
It also highlights the true meaning of the ending of To live is to die. The song was never ment to end, which is why Dyers Eve just starts..... Brilliant.
Justice is my favorite album by these guys. Frayed Ends of Sanity is the highlight of the album and everything builds towards it
If you really think about it, after shortest straw (one of my all time favorite thrashers) leads to harvester of sorrow leads to frayed ends of sanity leads into to live is to die which leaves into dyers eve.....it really told a tale to me
Same here... For me it's Shortest Straw and Harvester of Sorrow back to back
Let’s talk about how awesome kirk’s solo is
One of my favorites from him. And that's saying a whole damn lot.
Alex, "Ride the Lightning" is next then "Kill em All" which is pure raw and underground Metallica.
Absolutely!
i REMEMBER WHEN I SAW THEM THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE MONSTERS OF ROCK TOUR WITH EVERY BIG METAL BAND AT THE TIME AND RIDE THE LIGHTING HAD JUST BEEN RELEASED..I THINK IT WAS SUMMER OF 85 IN BUFFALO WHAT A FUCKIN SHOW THEY EVEN OUT DID OZZY AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THAT TOUR! I WAS LIKE 14 I THINK ..DAMN THAT WAS A LONGTIME AGO!
"Searchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing. SEEK AND DESTROY!"
@@richardforbes943 I was at that concert! They were underground and metal heads were a community back then. We looked out for each other. Man I miss that!
@@danielbuchanan1564 whiplash!!!
i LOVEEE and respect so much he listened back a little into the last song to get the full effect. FUCK yes
It's kind of a crazy contrast, being completely vulnerable and scared but it's projected through pure anger, frustration and power. Papa Het might be running one of the biggest band in the world ever but he's still an underrated artist.
It all comes from an inner, scared, scarred little boy who had to become a man and face the world before he knew how.
I’m a Metallica fan since the beginning I have Never left the band. Dyers eve is my fav song of the album, fast aggressive, James is on point on voice and guitar solos Kirk awesome so is Lars and Jason even when the bass is little shady is gold. Metallica forever
RIDE THE LIGHTNING PLSS
Kickass finale for an album
Also, Blackened takes the cake as my favorite off the album.
@@jakemayfield2818 fair, I’d say the machine gun riff from One but blackened is fucking crazy 🤘🏻
@@jakemayfield2818 did you play tackle for Michigan?
@@burtknighten1873 I think you’re thinking of Jalen Mayfield 😂
Dyers and Damage are most underrated song ever
At 2:59 when you said, “That’s so nice,” as you were taking in the gentle outtro…I actually chuckled knowing what was about to happen. Then, 3:20 happened! Lol. Thank you for the genuine reaction.
It's not over. You still have all of Kill em All, Ride the Lightning, The Black album, Load, ReLoad, Garage Inc., S&M #1, St Anger (If you feel its necessary) Death Magnetic, Hardwired to self Destruct, S&M #2. So no, it's not over yet. And LuLu
Tru
You forgot lulu
@@raphaelstanek Damnit!!! 🤬 lol. Thanks I just edited the comment and added LuLu lol
Im not one of those "metallica was only good up until the black album" people but i fucking hate lulu
@@RandomPerson-ui3xv Same, love almost everything Metallica has put out...except St. Anger and Lulu. Props for experimenting, but the execution was just...not good.
This is one of their heaviest, angriest, dirtiest songs. It came out my sr yr in high school. Had a rough upbringing. This song still resonates with me. True test of great music
Shut up white boi no ya didn't
You ain't experience sh!t
Couldn't agree more, man. Song allowed me to deal with a lot of the crap in my younger life as well. and yeah, still resonates like a bell.
@@TehZombish I’m with ya man. Metallica music saved my ass on many an occasion
@@LagginPotato black people be like
The double pedals in this song are insane, I LOVE IT!!!
the most crushing part to me is when he finishes off by saying 'you always knew!'
Every. Single. Song. on this album is a 9+/10 for me to this day. After 30+ years of listening to this life changing album, And Justice For All is more powerful now than ever. Thanks for bringing us with you on this one, Alex.
Blackened: 9.5/10
Justice: 8.5/10
Beholder: 7.5/10
One: 11/10
Shortest Straw: 8.5/10
Harvester: 8.5/10
Sanity: 9/10
To Live: 9/10
Dyer's Eve: 9.5/10
Certified quality album imo.
RIDE THE LIGHTNINGGGG
*Stands up and applauds*
Bravo!! Between your stank face and my flashbacks, well....I am so excited to see you review this whole album.
Love you, man.
This song is great bc it transcends James’ experience - no matter how strict or lenient one’s parents - everyone has had times - sometimes entire lifetimes - where they felt some of the feelings reflected in the lyrics and overall tone of the song.
Kirks phrasing in this solo is awesome
I can’t do anything but clap, just clap. That was one hell of a reaction to an amazing album. Hope to see more Metallica reactions, even better if it is an entire album. Thanks!
more metallica reactions coming! :)
@@AlexHefner You rule Alex! We love you so much for this!
@@AlexHefner As a fan of Metallica i have to say that i love your reactions videos. Metallica songs means a lot to me and my seven years old son love Metallica too. Im sorry for my english, im from Chile, sudamerica.
@@AlexHefner Killem All
@@P3ntagr4m no need to apologize for your English! It was perfect and that’s awesome that your exposing your young son to such great music
Back when high-speed dubbing tape cassettes was a thing, one of my best friends made me a copy of this "album" and it became the soundtrack for my bus ride to school everyday in 7th grade. Coming from a deeply religious background it echoed so much truth, and led me into my path of better understanding the world; and allowed me to be angry at the parts I saw to be false. I will forever be grateful to this album and especially this song, and I'm so glad you're finding it and hearing it for the truth that I felt so long ago as an "out of place" teen in a world of religiosity... wondering what was really real, and deciding to question it
I'm so happy you included the last bit of "To Live is to Die". Most of us die hard Metallica fans heard this long before the days of streaming, and when the CD goes from one to the next ... it's magical
Exactly. We didn't know when the songs ended and begins until CDs came out.
Ride the Lightning would be nice even its not in the right order but it should be done cause its metallica best album in my opinion
Agreed 💯💯💯
Yesssss Ride the Lightning ⚡⚡⚡
RTL is my favorite Metallica album ....and possibly fav album by any band ever
DYERS EVE! Probably the most aggressive and angry Metallica song!
Might easily be. Agreed.
Fight fire with fire entered the chat.
@@fronthorse Yes, but Dyers Eve has the most angry lyrics, so that's a plus
@@fronthorse trapped under ice has something to say
@@german2501 the lyrics are more relatable than the hellish dystopia from Fight fire... Mayberry that's why.
When it comes to sound and aggression for me Fight is the maximum. Dyers Eve is brilliant and among my favorite 5 Metallica songs. 88 when I was 13 this album was my introduction to the band and it blew me away.
Edit: what's a mayberry?!
My parents split for the last time when I was 9 after 5 different attempts at trying to make it work that just made it harder for me to live with out them this song in a nut shell puts my feelings into song form.
My personal favorite Metallica album. Hit me when I was about 12. Fell asleep many nights listing to it. Made those early teen years make so much sense. To this day 30 plus years later still hits home .
Same... I was 14. 45 now
Was waiting for this one. Shit blows me away every time I hear it.
Ohhhh, how I have been waiting.🤘😈🤘
Edit: RIIIIIDE THEEEEEE LIGHTNING
This album, IMO, is their very finest work of all albums they produced. Every song drives hard, the lyrics are vibrant and meaningful, The riffs, the riffs under the riffs and even the drum arrangements are quintessential.
Damn...love these album reactions and journey you invited us on...thanks,Alex
What’s super crazy is that this is like...30 years old lol. Imagine hearing this 30 years ago...it was insane.
I love that you are laughing throughout this whole song. It proves without a doubt you are 100% honest and real in your reactions! Thanks Alex, its a blast watching your reactions.
thank you so much for checking out the videos! :) you are the awesome one!
Dude, you are such an honest guy, I love your reactions and that you are so genuine....
ayyy frank! i appreciate that my man. thank you
Thanks for the reply man, no doubt I would consider you a friend in real life (and I do not have many) ....just from music alone bro!
Yea you’re slowly becoming my FAVORITE reaction page. You actually took the time to edit the last 30 seconds of “To live is to die” to make sure the reaction was complete. No other reaction channel has done this that I’ve seen!
You're the most favorite person on youtube! You're reactions are epic! One of the most genuine people on youtube. I thank you for pulling me through my darkest times. You, my man, are fucking awesome! 🤘😀
When I was 15 I had to do an English assignment on poem or lyric. I used this song. My English teach was NOT as impressed as Alex
i had the same assignment but i used "To Live Is To Die"
Props to you brother for having the balls to do that.
@@mgk207 ayyyyeee
@Deadlock T that’s what I used. Those 8 lines
I remember having a similar assignment and using “Countdown to Extinction”
thankfully, he was a cool teacher and was still only mildly amused.
I really like that you listened to the end of To Live Is To Die before Dyers Eve. It’s the proper way for this song.
Dyers Eve is a kick in the teeth. It's damn good and a perfect end of the AJFA album.
Please do Ride The Lightning next.
I love how emotionally you react to certain moments in this song... Music and listener dynamic at its best
Next Ride the Lightning 🤘🔥
Been waiting all week for the jump
Knew it was coming 😂
the frayed ends of sanity has to be my favorite metallica song of all time (this comes from a guy in Chile with a fucking metallica tattoo on his shoulder)
much love to you bro, for allowing us to go along with you in this ride!
Here til the end of every video...so much respect and love sent back your way, always! This was so much fun I waited all day 💕🤘🏼 I already cast my vote for ride the lightning next...I see that you have hundreds of people that feel the same way, can’t wait for it! FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE can’t fucking wait✨🌻♌️
PLEASE Ride The Lightning album next!! 🤘
Why do I love it so much when I see someone else enjoying Metallica for the 1st time, like he does? Dyers eve hits so close to home for me as well pal. Right here with you Alex! Rawk on 🤘
you're the man dwight! much love brotha!!
Dyers eve and Frayed ends of sanity, saved me as a kid. To know that I wasn’t alone.
It's almost as if I re-lived my past watching you. I was Hip-hop and Alternative as a teen but at 16 in 1986 my world changed forever. My metal head friend picked me up one day, told me he got a brand new cassette tape named Master of puppets by Metallica. At 19 And Justice for All came out. Hands down my favorite Album! I'm now 51 and cant even imagine how many times I've listened to it. Watching you experience it for the 1st time takes me back bro. Its magical! 👊🏼😁
Been checking YT all day for this.
you are awesome!! :)
Same😂
I was 16 when this came out. I experienced what the song is about. This song and this album are a part of my being. It's been a blessing to see you experience it new... you're a good man Alex
I love this album, it has always been my favorite. And I'm glad you liked it too. It was like re-discovering this album for me to watch your reactions, thank you! Lars is also worth mentioning. Never before or, unfortunately, never after has played as well on drums as at Justice. Greetings from Poland, bro!
I'm so glad you let the song before play first because the transition from it to Dyers Eve is sick!
Ride the lightning now
This brings up a strange memory of hearing the Black Album the first time and thinking “They went from fucking Dyers Eve to this shit??”.
METALLICA WAS ALSO TOURING THE WHOLE FUCKING TIME THREE OR FOUR YEARS STRAIGHT SUPPORTING AJFA SO NOT MUCH TIME TO WRITE THE NEXT ALBUM WHEN YOU HAVE LABELS AND FANS UP YOUR ASS CLAMMERING FOR THE NEXT FUCKING SONG! NOT TO MENTION THEY WERE ALL RAGING ALCOHOLICS AND DRUG ADDICTS BY THIS TIME!
The back album was just more heavy metal than thrash.
@@voizes325 I agree 💯
@@richardforbes943 The Black Album took almost a year to record. Then they toured on that for nearly three years.
I think TBA is an awesomely produced record. It was perfect for the time & it did exactly what they set out to do.
honestly they could not top the heavy trashiness do this album lol
The sudden transition symbolizes how Cliff was suddenly ripped from this world. Painfully beautiful if you look at it like that
The first time I realized that I couldn't help but tear up.
One of my favorite reactions. I was about to jump off the balcony when I saw them in like 89. I've never seen a crowd so amped up.
Alex PLEASE do a Peace Sells album reaction!!!
Ya. That's a great Metallica album for sure!! 🤪. Sorry. I had to. 😃
the scariest thing is to know that the lyrics of this song is what goes on in James’s mind. Until today ..
Alex Hefner, anyone who appreciates this song like you did is a brother or sister to me. Really nice to see someone get this after I've been listening to this since 1988
Big hug from Sweden. You never fail to draw me back in with your reactions. Granted i fell off last fall but i always check back :)
ah yes thank you for starting with the ending of To Live is to Die 🤘
This song hits hard for us who grew in religous suppression. Im just starting to deal with the trauma my chruch and family forced on me growing up. The entitlement, the one-way respect, and freedom of robbing your child of anything you didnt provide them. Dont wish this upon any child. Anyone who grew with this kind of trauma please reach out to anyone you can talk to
Stay metal, Stay free
Dude sorry to hear when people get church forced upon them. Hopefully that hasn't turned you off from God completely. God is real. Jesus is real. And He loves us all. Don't want to offend anyone. Just hate to see people go through what you did. Give God a chance I hope. On your own terms.
People out there can never avoid this world and what it offers, always temptation which we all fail to. Parents who think they can drag their kids to church to avoid the world's issues obviously dont listen when they attend..its impossible. Knowing is better than not knowing, seeing is believing but can't see anything if one don't look. Its easy to fall, hard to climb back up, no one wants to work hard when they can simply fall. Dragging kids to church without any knowledge of what the world offers can be dangerous cause ones who fall like sex addicts, drug addicts, thieves, heart broken, killers that want change are within the churches to rightfully know understand the meaning of what Christ teaches. Like a hospital that house the sick, the church house the broken. If a church dont have any of the above its probably loaded with false, lost, judgemental, selfish, wealthy people with a moral checklist of what makes them feel good. These people drag kids or other non willing people along to fit their view of clean visually rather spiritually to fit into a worldly society where praying is actually wishing. Moral therapeutic deism. James parents were probably a mix of both, those that understand the lyrics probably had the same treatment, just differently.
Never understand that, my nan used to go to church, I did as a little kid. But I stopped, my mom said to my nan, that we'd choose our own path when we were old enough. So we did, heavy metal and rock music, it's the best religion. Me, my sister and brother are all metal heads. The more intelligence, the less religion.
I'm starting to see someone with the similar stuff your going through. Much respect.
Can't wait for the "Ride The Lightning" and "Kill 'Em All" albums. Hope to see it soon. These two album trips has been awesome!
The irony of this album is that if Cliff hadn’t died it wouldn’t have existed, so in a sense Cliff guided them still from up above to write this masterpiece.
Anyway, we were here with you on this journey but it wasn’t unselfish for most us, we were here as well to relive our first time listening to this and for that we thank you, 30 years later I got to re-experience with the added bonus of cherishing much more now, I didn’t realize it back then how special this moment was. Thanks again Alex.
As to the overall lyrics of the album this is post Cliff, the band was still grieving and you sense it. Cliff was like the angel that came in between Jaymz and Lars when it came to song writing and without him the pure aggression of Jaymz with the technicity of Lars just blended into this f****ing powerhouse of an album. Like I said, this would have not existed with Cliff. We all miss him and wonder what would have been of Metallica with him.
This album was a POWERHOUSE and a game-changer to a high school kid growing up in 1989. Changed my whole music perspective.
OMG I was waiting for this song so long 💥 killer song with a killer guitar solo and I won't even start talking about James' ability to writing lyrics 💯🔥💥
Love this song the lyrics riffs guitar solo and those kick drums double bass
Thank you Alex for reacting to every metallica album since they’ll be celebrating 40 years together as a band this year in October
I like that you edited the two songs together. Nice mixed tape!
RIDE THE LIGHTNING NEXT!!! FULL ALBUM!! 🤘
I am here, right now, watching this. Now it's time for you to do Ride the Lightning.
my fav. song on the album is definitely the title track. Simply unbelievable. Still gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it!
Hey Alex, just wanted to say I appreciate the hell out of you bro! Thanks for putting smiles on people's faces :)
Great album,great year for heavy music.
I was 17 years old when this album dropped,wow!!.
Still as passionate about heavy music now as i was then,its in the blood.
Love your channel man,
Love from the uk.🤘
My favorite part of you loving And Justice For all, is that you are studing in Law. It's a match made for you :)
I watch a LOT of reaction channels, and it's basically been pared down to you and two others at this point. Just consistently high quality, open minded ears, and well spoken and thought out critical reviews. 👌🏼
this song is relentless. Love it.
Great job!
