At my place everyone knows my rules. As far as music playing they know there are a handful of bands/artists that you DO NOT 1) Turn volume down 2) Pause or stop during a song. With the possible exception of someone dying before the song concludes. Of course Metallica is one of those bands. There would have been a physical altercation (!!WHACK!! "Watthfuc dude????) and banishment for either a period of time or until the end of time. There is some music that has become a part of you to the point it is almost a gut punch if a song is interrupted. And yes, I am one of those people that even after I arrive home or anywhere else I will sit in my car to finish listening to a song by certain bands/artists. I'll have it on my main streaming playlist, on my mp player, and even on cd and still wait till the end. It may be crazy, but if I couldn't listen music anymore for some reason I don't know how long I would last. Through the best times and worst times of your entire life the music has always been there for you. It needs to be treated with respect. And now I am done with my philosophical exposition. 🤪🤘

The year was 1986. I was 16 and only listened to rap and hip_hop. My best friend was a metal head and listened to Iron Maiden, Ozzy, etc and I was forced to listened to it because he had a car and I didn't. I hated it! One day he came to pick me up and he pulls out this cassette tape, looks at me and says to me "Wait til you hear this!" For the 1st time I gave it metal a honest listen. I was immediately transformed into a Metallica fan. Almost 35 years later im still a fan. Seeing you react to this vid was almost like re-living that day when a light bulb went off in my head. I was getting chills Watching you through the whole video because I knew what was happening to you. Lol. BTW..

That transition from rage to melodic back to rage. This song plays to the timeline of the progression of the drug addiction. The rage before the fix in the beginning, then the euphoric high and calmness in the bridge, just before the storm when the drug takes hole, and then the rage comes back to run your life again at the end of the song.... that was the genius behind this song. They didn't just write lyrics to meet the feelings behind the music. They wrote the music to express the entire cycle in it's entirety

This is THE single greatest metal song ever written! It encompasses the metal spirit!

I'm always amused when hip hoppers are amazed that musicians and their instruments are so awesome.

There's a reason they can fill stadiums solo. This is why. Pure badass music

The Black Album is why. That album helped make them the biggest metal band in the world. It's not their best album but it is their most commercially successful.

I really enjoyed watching this guy's reaction. It isn't every day that ya get to watch a grown man discover real music for the first time. Thank you for sharing this moment with us all. And keep rockin!

I love coming back and just seeing your slow discovery of metal and seeing you turn into a metalhead.

Alex, I've been watching all of your metal videos and you have now seen what it is, and loving it. You are now dubbed a metalhead. Congratulations 🎉 🎉 🎉

This song is 33 years old (1986) and it's still one of the heaviest, yet most melodic pieces of music ever written. The rest of the album is very good too.

And I think that's what this guy and what most of today's kids don't grasp. I was onto Kill 'Em All when it came out (I was in high school so it was right in the teen boy sweet spot for that kind of music) but it was Ride the Lightning that was the real bomb. I couldn't play that album enough back in the day and everyone I knew was just blown away by the sound. Metallica, with that album, took over heavy metal music...and, like you said, they did it with no assistance whatsoever from traditional music mass media. Back in those days it was word of mouth and some late night, heavy metal show on the radio. No internet, no Limewire yet, very little airplay and only some spotty coverage on MTV. The groups that rose to the top, like Metallica, did so without a pushed media blitz/agenda like they do today. They played instruments. They sang without autotune. True musical talent on display done, oftentimes, without any expectation of vast fame and fortune that top 40 acts enjoyed. Actual musical talent. And if this guy liked what he heard on its own merits, imagine how much more impressed he'd be if he was aware of the environment that that album arose from.

@@craig328 but the sad thing is , metal bands barely even get platinum albums. Metallica , iron maiden , black sabbath , judas priest , ozzy osbourne , dio , megadeth , pantera are the only real metal bands that have platinum albums. And it's shocking that the number of the bands is only 8.

Dude watching you react to this, I felt like I was watching myself react to it for the time when I was a kid...a looong time ago. Thanks mate!!

Best comment indeed, for me it was 'Be all, end all' - but my life was not the same after hearing it in '88 (Germany), I entered one of the greatest subcultures, with lifelong friends, recruited my girlfriends and finally wife from there (and from goths, nice girls, just smelled weird), now 46 year long haired father of two, still drumming along. Not wanting to draw a parallel tho this 'thug life' stuff, if you found metal or if it finds you, but the thing is that every metalhead I know has his/her story to tell, you don't end up with us accidentally, it all makes sense, it is a huge therapy after all. I owe metal so much that I could never possibly pay back, so I kinda feel sorry for the guy in the video, Alex, you've been missing out... big time.

It was The Black Album. By the end of Enter Sandman, I was hooked. I've been a metal-head ever since.
