Selling out venues and selling out as a band are two different things. And Metallica did both of those.

Love how James and Kirk both simultaneously can't resist playing the FTB riff at the 3 min. mark.

I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean...should he use the most expensive microphone just because of the cost? Usually you pick a mic based on its tonal qualities or polar pattern for the situation. I wouldn't take this as a signal of his virtue, just that it was a good choice for his voice and his show.

The album Ride The Lightning is what got me into Metallica. The album art was crazy and intriguing to a 6 or 7 year old.

Hear a Metallica history with fade to black in the background is something else my friend...

one of the one most beautiful metal songs ever made

Fade to Black is one of my favorites. It also reminds me of my brother who passed away 🖤

Metallica brought something new into metal music at that time with Fade to Black. You can metal with acoustic guitar in your song and that the song doesnt have to be trashy from a start to an end. FtB is a great reliever in the middle of the album.

They have sold MILLIONS of albums, iconic band. And yet I still think they are under appreciated for how talented they actually are.

I can't recall how old I was, but my brother bought me "Master of Puppets" tape as a birthday present, and that got me exposed to Metallica and blew my socks off. So I had to get more, naturally, and I remember buying "Ride the Lightning" and when "Fade to Black" came on, just chills everywhere. I didn't know you could make such orchestra-like riffs with a guitar and harmonize it so well. So many riffs on "Fade to Black". Gorgeous song from beginning to end, and when you get to the end, you just hit rewind before it got to the B Side because you want to hear it again and again.

dont get how you can be called a sellout . That album is metal masterclass.

I totally agree with you, it's one of the best albums they've made. However (not that I disagree with you), if you listen to other thrash Metal bands in the early (that were nowhere as famous as Metallica of course, and just about nobody has heard of them anymore), you would see why those metal freaks back then think Fade to Black was a sell-out. Bands ike Exciter... You probably wouldn't know who they were and neither did I until watching a KZread clip recently about Thrash.

Epic song! I agree with Howard, it always gives me chills! I can’t help thinking of Cliff! RIP Cliff Burton !

Metallica fan since 92, seen em live in Halifax, Fade to black.. favorite song.

ANYONE WHO THREW THE SELLOUT LABEL ARE NOT FANS OF THE BAND BUT ONLY FANS OF AN ALBUM OR A SPECIFIC SOUND. TRUE FANS OF THE BAND WILL BE TRUE FANS OF MUSIC BECAUSE WHATEVER ALBUM THEY MAKE WILL HAVE SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS TO YOU. THEY DIDN'T GO OUT ON PURPOSE TO TRY MAKE EVERY ALBUM SOUND LIKE THE WAY COMMERCIAL BANDS AND FANS WANT THINGS TO SOUND - THEY FOLLOWED AND MADE ALBUMS TO THE WAY THEY FELT AT THE TIMES - EVERY SINGLE METALLICA ALBUM HAS SONGS ON IT THAT ARE AWESOME AND SPEAK SOMETHING TO EVERY PERSON DIFFERENTLY...

I love that James just starts playing along....

My favorite Metallica song. Get goosebumps every time I hear that intro.

Lemmy of Motorhead told the story of how when Motorhead were starting out in the mid 70s and playing gigs a fan came up to him after they got their first record deal and said they'd sold out. So a band can be accused of selling out the very moment they get a record released.

Metallica are the most evolving band in the metal world, that’s why there the most successful in the genre…

To be fair, Fight Fire With Fire also has acoustic guitar. It was because it's a ballad.
