    Lex is actually right about the finger muscle comment. As a guitarist when I first began playing I would do things like use individual fingers while driving. Use those fingers one at a time on the steering wheel. The difference that made in my playing ability as a new guitarist was undeniable. Thought it was the coolest thing that Lex picked up on that, But yeah from personal experience as a guitarist I can completely validate her incredible observation . Never was taught that and never discussed it.

I totally get your stare at the screen, waiting for the next set of lyrics, while Lex has her eyes closed and is bouncing around beside/behind you.

    Kudos to Brad for being respectful and sticking through with these metal reactions, i can see you don't enjoy it as much as Lex does. I was the same with certain genres of music, but now being older, my tastes are more diverse and if something sounds good to me be it whatever genre, i will listen to it.

    You need to checkout Metallica “Anesthesia” live in Chicago 1983 - its a bass solo and will blow your mind; ideally followed by Whiplash live from that same show.

    "Seek and Destroy" was on "Kill 'em All", their 1st album that came out in mid 1983. I turned 8 yo that summer, but I grew up listening to Metallica.
    I can remember that this was one of my Mom's favorite songs off Kill. She's passed now but thinkin back, I had a pretty cool mama! Thank you Metallica!! And Brad & Lex as well for helping me relive those memories. 💕🤟

    Cool tune! Orion by Metallica is one of the most awesome and technical guitar songs songs I have ever heard. It's like a symphony to me... (It's instrumentals only).

    You'd love the live version where James sings "Searchin' " to the crowd's response of "Seek and destroy" over and over...

    Check out the first lyrics in the song "Scanning the scene in the city tonight / We're looking for you to start up a fight." It's a song about the metal scene of those years. Back then, hair-metal was popular, with dudes who wore makeup and sang about girls. And Metallica was representative of the nascent thrash metal scene, which was much more influenced by hardcore punk, more aggressive, singing about violence, war, apocalypse and other dark stuff. Glamers thought of thrashers as punks and bums. They weren't allowed to play in many of the clubs where hair metal bands played. And thrashers thought glamers were posers and you could really get beat up for spandex pants and big hair. Patches with words like "Kill the poser" were popular at the time. That's what the song is about I think - Metallica felt like conquerors who went to war to destroy their competitors and dominate the metal scene.

    it's from their first album ... all time classic ... it would be very interesting for you to react to the first song of their first album to check out how they introduce themselves to the new world of Metal (at the time) ... 'Hit the Lights' has an amazing out-of-this-world guitar solo !!!

    If you haven't already reacted to it give Master of Puppets a go, it's one of the most loved Metallica songs.

    The album was supposed to be called Metal Up Your Ass and had a picture of a dagger sticking up out of a toilet but the record company wouldn't allow such a thing in 1983 so they had to settle for this. Kill 'Em All refers to the record execs that squashed their album title. CLASSIC! Thanks for this one.

    The first song I loved. MetallicA started here and now are the biggest touring band and best selling band recorded to date. Most ticket sales and album sales beating out stones, beatles, jackson, ozzy, abba, aerosmith... etc.
    There is nothing bigger than MetallicA.

    On the first couple Metallica albums you can tell that James' voice hasn't changed. He really did sound 20 years old.

    I’ve been a Metallica fan since I was 6. My first song I heard was Master of Puppets. My dad and I sat in the truck and listened to the whole song start to fishing in the drive way. Didn’t understand the meaning at first but as time went on I started to understand what they were talking about. Don’t fall to the wrong master. Your either serve the master and hate the other or love the Savior and despise the other. Lex your ambition for metal is growing! You’ve got a lot more songs coming your way. I don’t know if you two have ventured into the realm of Anthrax Prong or Slipnot yet but those 3 bands are very talented as well. I would check them out when you can! Metals heads never die! Once you love metal there’s no going back 😈

    When I was very little(like two or three years old) I was fascinated by the vert ramp for skateboarding that my neighbor had built in his back yard for his two teenage sons.. They used to let me sit o backnpatio and watch them skate and they would play this whole album on a boom box. Its one of my oldest memories I still retain. They taught me how to skate as I got a little older but their Dad tore it down after they left for college.
