When this song was recorded the oldest member of the band was 22.
Lars had been drumming for 3 years....
How very fascinating. What exactly is your point??
@@metaphoria3 he certainly needs more practice by the sound of it.
@@metaphoria3 and still can't drum worth a crap
@@philjones45 chill, his point is it's an epic song written by young guys, you need to relax
Metallica shook us because they weren't just fast and loud, they were precise. They sounded sharp, and they told interesting stories from unique perspectives. The first 4 albums are special because they were OURS. They weren't on the radio, we didn't have internet, it was word of mouth, it was organic. They were genuinely talented musicians that didn't show fear or shame, it was an amazing era.
Tape swap in the sf Bay Area. What about Death Angel? They’re still shredding too.
YES! I met my husband at a Death Angel show in 91 @ One step beyond in Santa Clara 😈
@@lisemzarate4029 bad ass!!
@@lisemzarate4029 I'm pretty sure I was at that same show. One Step Beyond was just a few miles from my house. 17 years old with an all-ages metal club down the street, that's pretty much all I did on weekends. I lost count of the number of times I saw Vio-lence and Forbidden. Death, Primus, Body Count, Nuclear Assault, Sepultura, ...
(By 91, Death Angel changed their name to The Organization. A useless detail, shouldn't get in the way of a good story,)
I forget who else played that night, but it was definitely The Organization, I think we went because it was around the time they reformed, I left the bay area in 92, but I feel spoiled to have been a kid and teenager there, so much to do, either of you ever see Fungo Mungo? Loved them 😁
This song live in Moscow is one of the greatest things you will ever witness
Best live version ever of the song ever IMHO. Jason's vocals are another level.
@@stuartgcowley Seattle 1989 tho
Milton Keynes 93 has entered the chat😁
Yup. Totally agree. I really hope these guys will consider reacting to lives. It will give them a whole new perspective on Iron Maiden as well. shit, i'll post this as a separate comment somewhere.
@@DuckoftheDraw best recorded metallica live hands down, such accuracy and energy
Creeping Death is one of the best songs they ever recorded.
Best one
Facts
you can say that about any song on their 1st 4 albums. :)
Their greatest ever song in my humble opinion.
Giants stadium Metallica and Gnr Metallica opened with light off. Creeping death blew GNR off stage
You haven't experienced a concert until you hear 50,000 Metallica fans in Metlife stadium screaming "Die" in the middle of this song...
THIS ⬆️
🤘🤘
Yep. Tool is my favorite band but a live Metallica show is as close as it gets to the "Tool experience" as you can get.
I saw them in '89 at Nassau Coliseum in the front row. During the "Die" section I turned and faced the crowd. It was insane to see 20000 + people shouting Die
1,000s saying cocain at a Clapton show is pretty awesome.
I was gonna sleep, but this is more important.
I swear me too
Sleeping death?
So true
Lol no it's not.
Fax
Anyone who's played guitar has realized it's not hard to play something someone else has made, it's hard to create something totally original that impacts people
Yeah and people don’t consider how much of a tank you need to be to play this shit for 4 hours straight and be precise.
Tell it to the lars haters...they haven't come up with shit
But slag someone off for being what they say out of tone time ....(when millions come to ther concerts)
Those criticts if they want can listen to dream theater
All fine
💯
So true
Your right. Yes you can learn to play what any artist does, but did you create how good it is? Thats what counts. I’m sure if someone on these comments can do something better, I’d love to hear their band. Get off Lars. Gotta say it every time I see the videos. Do I like anything past AJFA, no, with the exception of a few off Black because I’ve seen them do it live too many times and it’s great. After that no, but I love the old school!
Such a special era to be 13-15 yrs old. No internet, no cellphones. Just my bike and music melting faces
Ok
U on the internet now tho.. put the phone down and go on ur bike 💀
I’m jealous. The previous 2 commenters don’t understand.
@@chuckiemyers how bout you do the same for the sake of humanity
@@Michael15_25 u commented twice instead of going back on ur bike 💀 shut up clown
There's absolutely nothing like being in the crowd chanting DIE during the breakdown. Being one of thousands chanting is a whole other experience
I saw them for the first time in 2000 and this was their opener. When the “Die!” section came up, they stretched it out longer than the album (as they always do live) and got the whole crowd hype...when James and Jason came in and joined us, it felt like world would crumble under the weight of it all. One the best feelings ever.
I was at donnington 95 when they headlined. When they came on stage i was 20ft from front row center stage. 1min later, i was about 100ft off center and my feet did not touch the ground because 100,000 people behind had surged, crushed everyone and lifting us off our feet so we just flowed. That was just the start of their set after 10hrs of similar bands. I was exhausted at the end, barely able to stand. I just made it back to my tent, downed southern comfort and woke up a 6am bouncing when an airliner flew over the tent at about 100ft. The next evening i nearly got booted out a pub because was still so hyper.
Yes, such jolly fun. Shouting "die" in unison with a load of men with bad skin and dodgy homophobic attitudes.
@@philjones45 dont project yourself onto others. Its obvious you never experianced it, and know fuckall about people that goto the concerts.
@@christianbuczko1481 which pub was that? There isn't a pub within miles of Donnington Racing Circuit.
The one dislike was
The Pharaoh himself!!
Haha that Pharaoh still butt hurt
😂😂😂
Yeah his name is Dave Mustain!! 😁
lol hahahahahahahaha
So let it be written
So let it be done
15:43 Ryan said “when it’s song came out, it probably took the world by storm”
The reality is that Metallica couldn’t get any air play on the radio at this time. They were way to hard for even the hard rock stations in 1984. Their commercial success came way later. The only radio they had at the time was a handful of college stations.
It was the fans passing around their records and tapes, and showing up for the shows that kept them going.
They started to get real traction after the release of master of puppets. And justice is when the music industry took notice and they became superstars with the black album.
Even as early as 1983-1984 Metallica took the world by storm despite not getting radio play. They got some mainstream success as early as the mid 80s and much more by 1989. Just saying it's still accurate to say they took the world by storm in 1984.
None of the music I listened to from the punk of the early 80s to thrash, got mainstream publicity. it just wasn't important, loads of us still were into it. But we didn't need them, this was our thing, a parallel world of our own.
When following bands and metal was a lifestyle.
I mean Metallica is definitely the biggest musical Influence on my life
I had been a loyal Iron Maiden fan and in 85 this chick I was banging snuck me into her bedroom to listen to Metallica for my first time. They didnt get any radio play at the time because of the corrupt payola system but the fans of metal got the word out and soon everyone couldn’t get enough of Metallica. Great decade for music and a great time to be alive, young and rocking your f**king socks off. Life was a lot simpler, sex, drugs and rock and roll before all were corrupted in the 90’s.
I've heard these old Metallica songs so much that they've lost a lot of impact on me. It's fun seeing people react to it, and remembering how powerful this stuff really is.
I agree. However, this is the one song that i never get sick of
I’ve listened to this song for over 35 years and the breakdown into the “die” section still gives me chills
Yeah, but you haven’t lived till you chanted it at a show with 20-40k other people. It’s mind-blowing!!!
@@Rickkelley365 with you! Seen them many times, most recently at The Rose Bowl a few years back. They were as good as they’ve ever been, and Creeping Death Live was epic - 50K+ people screaming “Die!” Incredible!
totally
took the words right out of my mouth - what a bridge
@@Rickkelley365 been there done that, that is probably why it still gives me chills....lol
I think a huge part that people tend to forget about when talking about Metallica’s first four albums is their age. These guys were barely old enough to legally drink a beer!! Not to mention when they wrote some of this stuff, they were 16-18 years old. Love or hate them, these guys accomplished so much at such a young age.
Best metal band that will ever be...! Music so clean and precise... only Iron Maiden even comes close.
One of the greatest band in the music history.
This makes songs like "Fade to Black" all the more incredible for me, I can't fathom being able to tackle a subject as heavy as mental illness and suicide in such a beautiful and timeless fashion at an age so young
@@TheFlannel1 I imagine it surrounded them a little.
Yeah but most of us in bands were this age as well. It's when your very creative and expressive. Now in my 30s I stuggle to play what i used to write without practicing lol
Was at a Metallica concert with over 100,00 people there. When the “Die” chant came up I got the chills. In that moment I realized Metallica could’ve taken the city over and we would’ve done it for them. It was also the first time I witnessed someone who spoke zero English sing every lyric perfectly in English still the coolest day ever
Live audience go crazy in that part. ,🔥
Seeing them Live so many times, they can’t do anything wrong. Never heard anything that sounded off. There may have been, but I never heard it and didn’t care.
could you ever imagine a Bible story told like this in a metal song. A method to the madness. a story of old told in a new way.
Yes, listen to Bloodgood or Tourniquet
I’d go to that church😆
Fuckin Hetfield man....
My Southern Baptist Grandmother wanted me to listen to Christian music...I played her this!
I can. I went to a Baptist school and my buddy always turned in "poetry" that was Metallica or Rush lyrics and got an A in english class... but he got a F any other time. it was hilarious... back in the late 80s.
This song will break your right wrist. You can have my word on that
Left 1 gets a workout too
@@jHounderYup. blackened is pretty brutal to play through.
Nah, the only constantly downpicked 16th note section are the 8 notes in the: [003-003]-00222222
@@jHounder I learned it originally on bass, but I have to say, I never found that beat change to be harder. In fact I found it easier because if felt more in rhythm. Don’t get me wrong, that riff is hard to play, on bass and guitar, but that beat change never gave me any issues. I do love it though.
I fap to Metallica primarily with my left hand but sometimes I do alternate. You might be right.
This might be my favorite Metallica song. It just has everything, it feels like watching a 3 hour Charlton Heston biblical epic film compressed into like 8 minutes.
The song is apparently based on one of his films, The Ten Commandments. Pretty sure I've seen a fan created video on here that pulls all the key scenes from the film and sets them to the song.
James said in an interview they wrote this after he and Cliff watched the ten commandments.
Also one of my favorite songs by them, and mostly because of the story telling aspect as well. It's just super fascinating and they really captured the sound of the story, kinda like George said, the brutality of it all.
For me, personally, my favorite song is blackened. I don’t know what it is but I just like it a lot.
@@chriswills7751 Saw that video too!
His fan video for "Welcome Home Sanitarium" with scenes from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is great.
Guitar player here. Sometimes it's difficult, sometimes it's easy, but what it really boils down is those little melodic transitions are all about songwriting, for which Metallica are phenomenal.
Rhythm guitar player here. I forever thank The Lord Almighty for MetallicA who makes rhythm guitar interesting. I was never good at soloing, but forming Met tribute band gave me the chance to share some glory with our lead guitarist 😛
Hearing these raw reactions is the closest some of us will ever come to hearing the song again for the first time. Glad you guys enjoy it so much, it's special to get to see it.
James Hetfield is well-known to have an "iron wrist" in his right arm because the technique he's using to pick the strings known as "down picking" is hard to play consistently at the tempo he plays. So there is definitely some difficulty in what he's doing here. And the downpicking makes a lot of difference in how it sounds.
im a testament to that. i can play lead. but i cant play their stuff all down stroke even the ones that are suppose to be. like this songs verse riff. and master of puppets main riff and verse riff. those r the big ones.
Difficult and he's singing at the same time ( at least when it's live ) ....mad mad respect for James since FOREVER!!!
@@deathgrinderb3284 What Hetfield does on guitar is virtuosity in its own right. To play like him, someone should downstroke all his life to get that level. Remember this guy lays down four tracks on top of each other, and precision is just out of this world.
This song takes on an entirely new feel live and inperson. Crowd participation pushes this song to new heights!
When you are a part of it. You never forget it. Same with Reign in Blood by Slayer as well.
especially when jason was in the band
Especially when you have 20,000 people chanting "DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE" etc.
YES. Thousands of people hands up screaming die makes this song LEGIT!
@@ali965 agreed. All things change in life and I'm happy he continues to live his dreams. No offense to Robert, but Jason brings a greater intensity and energy on stage. Oh what could have been, eh?
What James does with the guitar is most definitely NOT easy. Downpicking that fast and that cleanly is brutally difficult, especially when it's done for the entire song.
Actually with practice, downpicking is not that hard. I had to learn to do it in order to have the top Metallica tribute band in the world. Just practice. That's all it is.
@@jarbarianexactly, and practicing to that level can be brutally difficult no matter how much you love the music.
@@Controllerbreaker Thanks. I should know, I had a Metallica tribute band, took me months of hours and hours every day of downpicking to be able to play their songs.
@@jarbarianThat sounds pretty freaking difficult.
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Not difficult, just practice with a metronome 2 hours a day, just down picking.
This and Seek and Destroy are usually two of the last songs they’ll play at most concerts. Hearing a full crowd chanting “DIE!! BY MY HANDS!!” Its f***ing amazing in person. You all need to experience it if you can.
An entire stadium of metalheads pumping their fists felt like something like a Nazi Nuremberg rally.
My first 2 metallica concerts opened with creeping death. Can't be touched in my opinion for an opener
Can’t wait to be able to chant die at a Metallica concert
This one's even better live. Seattle 1989 was legendary
Was there, I was 22. Just turned 54 and saw Metallica pre-pandemic in Spokane December 2018. Monsters of Rock was great also July 1988 in Spokane.
@@tpalmen I'm 22 right as of today! Also absolutely jealous you were able to see Metallica in their prime! I saw them for the first time in 2017 in St. Louis with my older sister
@@dylanharris5486 Glad you get to here what I heard at that age. My fav band ever live! James eventually matured out of that incredible screechy voice he had but they still always deliver.
Moscow version is immense
@@dylanharris5486 agreed! I watched the Seattle version yesterday... then the whole concert. I wish there was a way on Patreon to do a poll so George and Ryan could see how many of us would like them to react to the Seattle live version!
This may be my favorite Metallica song and I’m a Metallica nut I wish you guys did the video of them in 1991 in Russia with 1.6 million people in the crowd. One of the best live recordings of all time my opinion.
oh man, the Live Shit Mexico City gig tho... I've never listened to any other live cd as much.
The Russia one is probably great by default. Though, my favorite version is from cunning stunts in ‘97
actually any live versions from Jason era.. pure gold.
Jason sounded GREAT in the 91 Russian show
I like the one from the "One" single. It was recorded on the Justice your in Texas.
9:59 George, shaking his head with a look of genuine disgust: “This is disgusting! This is just... ...DISGUSTING!” **double-chef’s kiss** 😂🤣
The genius of this band writing music that was so deep, thoughtful and timeless in their 20's always amazes me. The greatest band of my lifetime, bar none.
This is one of the most energetic and epic songs live when played by Metallica, especially when the crowd starts screaming DIE DIE DIE... and when you add Jason Newsted’s vocals it becomes even better.
This song is a Metallica concert staple. The WHOLE CROWD, EVERY TIME headbangs and chants "DIE. DIE DIE" along during the part of the song where James is singing "Die by my hand I creep across the land..." It is insane, every time. This song just pumps people up so much. Glad you enjoyed it! You guys NEED to see Metallica live, even if you just experience this song live.
I love how much respect and appreciation these guys have for all types of music. Most people don’t realize how difficult it is to play an instrument that well.
They had 0 radio play for the first 4 albums and they were still that popular. They played what they liked and wanted to play and didn't care what anyone else thought. They amassed this following during the glam hair metal phase of music.
Metallica's intro hooks are the best in music. The first 30 seconds of almost every song (especially from the early albums) pull you in so completely that you get hyped for the rest. It's really incredible how effective they were.
That's a fact
The first minute of Disposable Heroes is my favorite of all time.
Completely agree
How do you guys resist listening to this stuff on your own time? Still so many great songs you haven't heard!
thats the sacrifice for having a great reaction channel
Pretty sure the lure of a million plus sub base on YT helps that problem lol
Sometimes I think they’ve heard them before.
@@Yabuddy53 I don't see that at all. And when it is true, as soon as they realize it, they admit it.
@@Yabuddy53 Could be. But to be fair I love Metallica and am not really that familiar with their greater body of music 😏
I bought this album, on cassette, in 1985. This old, dusty, furniture store had a small selection of cassettes. I saw the cover for Ride The Lightning and had to have it. After being dissatisfied with 80s pop and top 40 radio, I found my niche. They blew my 14 year old mind. This was my favorite song.
You should be there live when we all chant DIE DIE DIE DIE together in perfect synchronicity during this song. This song was released when I was 14. It went around on worn cassettes when I was a freshman. If we couldn't find one to buy, we'd record them for each other on metal mixtapes with Overkill, Exodus, Accept, Megadeth, Anthrax, and local faves like Gammacide and Pantera and Rigor Mortis. Yeah, I'm that old - Pantera were a local club band at Saavy's and Joe's Garage. You'll have to Google "cassettes".
Imagine them reacting to "The Four Horsemen". Lord have mercy .. they will be blown away...rightfully so
I’m definitely waiting for that one!
My favorite song by Metallica..The Four Horsemen. In fact, I posted it on my FB page recently & the bastards red flagged it! They said the content of the song was inappropriate & took it down! Freakin' Nazi's!!
Either alabama or the beginning part are what I really wanna see
"For those of you who thinks this is their way this song is called the mechanix"
It's an alright son. Not better than creeping death.
Fellas, your reactions are straight on point.
They were just babies when they made this record.
It was so hard and revolutionary, at the time, even the heavy metal radio station (KNAC), wouldn't play it.
But fans persisted and they became huge.
One of the best bands ever.
Absolutely! Metallica are Legends!
Yeah I love the big 4 maybe not so much anthrax but they were all very young when they started
Yes. I remember calling KNAC on redial with my friends in 84 telling them they sucked and Metallica ruled!
@@roybatty9955
Damm straight brother.
I loved being a teenager then...felt like we ruled the world!
🤗🙌🥃
KNAC was the greatest station on the planet in the 80’s. Won tickets to Queensryche at Irvine Meadows from them. Played great music. 🤘🏼
Favorite quote “I can’t relax my face”...dude none of us can...we all got metalimug every time this songs on
No one uses the pause better than Metallica. That brief micro second of silence before launching is phenomenal. Gets me every time in every song.
I

The Destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there
Deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor
Final darkness
Blood
Lamb’s blood painted door

Such a badass lyric.
is it true that most of this album is about cthulhu?
@@kaomatic One song, an instrumental. The other songs are about: electric chair, dying on the battlefield, feeling hopeless over losing someone and this one about the exodus from Egypt.
Right out of the book of Exodus lol...
@@kaomatic This particular tune was inspired by Cliff Burton watching the movie The Ten Commandments. When the green smoke takes over Egypt he remarked that it looked like "Creeping Death"
Just reading it gives me chills. Lol
Oh man, Ryan, you're going to love The Four Horsemen!
They haven't done The Four Horseman!?!?....
They do mentioned 'Sweet Home Alabama'... please do the bastardize version 🤭😉
Please do the four horseman!!!!! Awesome track!!!!!
This reaction was straight fire gents. Killed it. Now imagine the reaction with over 100,000 metal heads at the end of a 2 hour show, the roar fuels you with adrenaline.
They aren't difficult rifts, but they are all down picked, and they are masters at it. They not only do it for this song, but for their whole catalog, and playing that quickly downpicking for an entire concert of quick downpicks is damn impressive.
Yeah for James to beat carpal tunnel for 40 years doing what he does is incredible. Man of steel.
@@calvinsomers1197 fastest right hand in the game
This song reached perfection when they speed it up a bit and got Jason Newsted to sing back vocals.
Jason elevated this song to another level
He's so good on this video
czcams.com/video/bA_TSsQpIgk/video.html
And got Joey Jordison on drums. Lars sucks
Curious, I am
It's not about how easy the guitar riffs are. It's about how awesome the riffs are. This band is too great to come up with these ideas.
Exactly! Just because something is more technical or faster doesn't make it better. A great riff is a great riff! Some of the most iconic songs in history are the easiest to play, and that doesn't make them any less iconic.
@@MikeysMorgue Idk, don't get me wrong just because something is technical doesn't make it sound better. But as a guitarist and a drummer I can definitly appreciate technical stuff from a musical standpoint.
@@pizzakiep4157 Absolutely! I agree. I'm just saying that some of the easiest songs to play are some of the best songs of all time. I see people putting down music all the time and their argument is that it's easy to play. That's not a good argument. I've been playing guitar for 26 years and I'd say I'm pretty good. Music shouldn't be a competition to see who is faster or more technical, and I'm pretty fast and technical, but, quite frankly, some of the most technical guitar virtuosos I find tedious and boring.
Hot take:
James Hetfield's riffs are more impressive and more important to the Metallica sound than Kirk's solos (which I love, don't get me wrong).
"This band is too great to come up with these ideas?" Say what?
The 80's were a truly special time for metal. Never to be equaled
One of the best songs lyrically ever! “Blood, running red and strong, down the Nile . . .”
YALL JUST NEED TO DO METALLICAS 1ST 4 ALBUMS FROM START TO FINISH... ITS LONG OVER DUE. .
OR WATCH THE WHOLE LIVE SH*T LIVE IN SEATLE CONCERT.. .EPIC A.F.
Boomer caps lock initiated!
Agree
I'm from Seattle and my older brother went to that show. He told me it was so loud the rafters in the old Seattle Center Coliseum had rust falling on their heads like snowflakes! The energy was off the charts, guys spitting teeth out in the pit ..insane. so glad it was captured on film for us to see. Ryan and George NEED to see it! 🤘🔥🤘
@@brandoncrow3741 man. He's a lucky mofo. I have the box set and always enjoyed it. The energy jasone gave and james voice was at its prime. Fk the haters. Metallica ruled the world!!!
Look up Toronto 1986 on youtube, you won't be disappointed! Absolutely ferocious!!!
I've been listening to Metallica since the late '80s and the slide drop into the "DIE!" riff in the breakdown _still_ gives me chills every time I hear it.
Hell yeah
James Hetfield is one the tightest rhythm guitarist ever. In his late teens/early 20s slaying this track and singing at the same time. Mad respect.
What I love about the videos you guys put out is that you review songs I’ve loved for 20 years, and when I get sick of them, you perfectly explain why I loved those songs in the first place, and put them on my playlist once again. Keep up the good work!
About 20 years ago I was in a punk band that covered this song. It was the only song we played that brought people back IN to the club. Our guitarist was a metal guy so he was able to nail the solo note for note.
This song Live in the USSR was absolutely insane and super high quality for a live performance
Who knew Passover could be so metal
Passover is honestly one of the more metal moments of the bible
@@alanfulcher460 The fall of Jericho in Book of Joshua, or the fall of Nineveh in Book of Nahum, are equally metal IMO.
you guys just seem so excited everytime you're about to listen to a Metallica song! That makes me happy
The title of the song came from a comment that bass player Cliff Burton (RIP) made when he saw the other guys watching the movie “The Ten Commandants” with Charlton Heston. When they got to the part where the first born males of Egypt were being killed, the movie represented it like a slow moving fog, and when Burton saw it, he said “woh, it looks like creeping death”.
The were all inspired by the movie and the comment and wrote this song.
It was Die by my hand by Exodus .
Kirk stole it from Gary to Metallica
You my friend are correct
@@Nissardpertugiu No. He used the riff for the breakdown from what he had written while in Exodus
Another winner of a song. You are correct in that their first 4 albums were just plain ridiculously good.
1 Kill 'em All
2 Ride The Lightning
3 Master of Puppets
4 Garage Days Inc.
5 ... And Justice For All
6 Load
7 Reload
8 S&M
9 St. Anger
... After this, I still bought every Metallica album put out, but the magic and inspiration became lackluster imo.
What do you all think?
You two are one of my favorite shows on CZcams. You compliment each other so well. Keep it up guys🤟
I was a teenage headbanger back in the day when this album came out. Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets are simply PERFECT albums. Their absolute pinnacle. Cliff was the soul and backbone of that band.
You should react to Dyers Eve,the most brutal and underrated Metallica song
Y’all love Metallica’s groove type riffs and sad but true. Harvester of sorrow has to be next!
I really want to see them react to Shortest Straw. That riff blows my mind
They react to sad but true
Love Harvester of Sorrow
Harvester of sorrow smacks
I love your guys' videos they have seen me through the pandemic! You've made me fall in love with Metallica all over again!
This track and fight fire with fire are thrash metal in a nutshell imo. The energy just kicks your ass from start to finish.
at around 11:38, the crowd goes nuts with the "Die, die, die" chant!! What a killer song, one of Metallica's best! Glad you guys love it too!
Trapped Under Ice.
A blistering guitar and drums, a story of wants to live as you die because you fell and are trapped under ice.
Love watching their reactions to Metallica. Always so entertaining ☺️
When God wants the story of Passover to make into the heads of Headbangers he sends Metallica.
bruh
Truth.
That is remarkably well-phrased.
I grew in the 80’s and listened to Rap,,,,,I guess those stoners in school back then actually had great taste in music!! Lol I’m 48 now and own every Metallica album and they’re my favorite metal band of all time!!
Now all the stoners listen to rap lol...
@@tom_4615 LOL 😂....I don’t even know what today’s music sounds like...I’m stuck in my old ways...love 80’s, 90’s metal/rock...90’s alternative.
Funny I became a hip hop fan with Run DMCs "Raising Hell" .. This as a Metallica Fan..
@@TornadoOfSouls777 I loved run dmc! I had the record with rock box, sucker mc’s etc...remember the fat boys beat boxing songs? Lol that was crazy back then
Metallica's riffs are all mostly simple, but they are downpicked so fast that they become difficult. James is a downpicking god.
the most underrated riff guitar player in metal history imo, some of metallica riffs are harder than 90% death metal
Underrated???...it’s the almighty hettfield ...everyone knows who he is and what he did
Hetfield is a downpicking god for sure but rhythm guitar as well. The rhythm guitar on Justice is just phenomenal.
@@mikemedrano8579 100%, James' downpicking often overshadows the rest of his playing. He's an amazing rhythm player and is pretty good at solos.
Down picking god and singing making it like he doesn’t even pay attention to his guitar part. 💪🏻
You are simply great guys. I am always having fun listening your comments.
Who would ever think a group like Metallica would have a song called Creeping Death, and it would be straight out of the Bible? Epic 🔥
Gotta do Ride the Lightning of the album of the same name. that intro hits way too hard.
Also best solo in the album IMO
best song on ride the lightning
Yes.
This was my second song I ever heard from Metallica, (first one was for whom the bell tolls) and every riff in this song, including the solo, blew me away completely.
They did
This song goes even faster and has so much more energy in live shows! If you want the highest energy version, their live in San Diego version is off the rails. They always drop the guitars out after the solo so it's just Lars going nuts on the drums with the bassist playing the riff, all while the crowd chants "DIE" at the top of their lungs
goosebumbs every single time. I've seen Metallica about 12 times, first time in '93.
🤘
I dislike the double speed live experience. It's one of the reasons I stopped going to thier live shows.
That is one of my favorite parts during a live Metallica show. Ten times. I'm ready for number 11! \m/
The live versions also contains the extended bridge, which contains a literal breakdown and simplifying of the song down to its most simple parts, which really adds to the song and makes it even better.
The story of passover set to power metal. This is METALLICA.
Thrash metal, not power metal
@@Prejet1982 Ironically, the terms were interchangeable initially.
Ok I gotta say.and I know I've left a couple comments on your CZcams. But you guys and Jamal ask Jamel are my 2 faves that I love to watch listen and learn about some awesome ass music. So it always makes me happy to watch your videos. You guys make it so freaking great. Thank you for that. I am a lifelong Metallica fan since the 1986. So It makes me happy seeing any mucho respect for them. Thank ks guys
The four horsemen will be one of your all time favs. So many amazing transitions
Mechanix wrecks The horseman, not sorry
@@nathansciarone5627 horsemen is obviously more polished but mechanix is brutal. Feel like Metallica wins that
@@fusebox3366 Horseman riff at double speed? Better solo? Massive middle finger from Dave? Imo Megadeth had that one and I'm not even that big a fan at all but I get what your saying man.
@@nathansciarone5627 Not even close! 🤣
@@nathansciarone5627 The best section of the song doesn’t even exist in The Mechanix. Not to mention that Dave’s lyrics are garbage.
Creeping Death is in the top 5 of the greatest Metallica songs. Solid case for #1.
Yeah, it’s Orion for me, but CD is a solid choice.
#1 for me.
love it definitely in my top 5
Too many great ones in their first four albums for me to say for sure, but four horseman has to be in the contention for number one.
Really you could just about pick any song off, kill em all, master, ride, or even justice and you could make a case for it being the greatest metal song of all time. Those four albums, and throw in garage days, and you have five of the greatest albums ever made.
@@monkeyballs512 prob is my favorite as well, love the journey
I'm with you man, all those nuances & transitions hit me too. I love it.
Your comment about the instrumentation- it really helps when you have two great talents on guitar
If a song gives George the stank face in the first 30 seconds, it's gonna be good.
This was the one song Kirk Hammett brought over from his previous band Exodus. Metallica fine tuned it, and Creeping Death became Kirks first songwriting credit in the band.
Actually wasn't it just the breakdown "die" riff?
@@Jaggedknife11 yes; the Exodus song was called “Die By His Hand” so in that song it was the chorus. But In Creeping death it’s the bridge. But it’s still a big enough chunk of the song to give Kirk songwriter credits.
The last lead part was written by Cloff
Actually there was another riff brought by Hammett to Metallica which was written during his time in exodus and it was in the song trapped under ice and impaler by exodus
It was just the middle section “breakdown” part. The rest Metallica wrote.
Best metal band ever. They told stories in a unique way and evolved as they got older. Cliff Burton was amazing and they carried his legacy on well although Newsted paid the price of their hurt. Still listen in the early am working out 35 years later they still make me rock out
Never get tired of seeing you guys hear more metallica. Metallica is my cohost's fav band and my first love. We are hoping to do. Top 50 metallica count down next year.
You guys gotta do Fight Fire With Fire. The first song on this album and one of the most epic intros of any song on any album. You'll headbang.
Agreed! Trapped Under Ice is another
You can only imagine what it was like having long hair, black leather jacket, 501 jeans & Hi-top Chuck Taylors and hitting up a Metallica Show in the Eighties 👊🤘👊✌️
Jean jacket*
High top Reebok’s with the big tongue
@@75sliver I actually had some White Hi-top Dr.Js with the tongue sticking out as well
Hi-top White Nike’s for me back then...🤘
I'm almost 57,, Been there since the beginning!! Decades of memories!!
Metallica, and this album in particular, was the soundtrack of my teen years. I'm happy to report that this song is one of a handful that I cue up to play on my way to the gym. It worked getting my energy up back then and still works to this day! Thanks for the fun reaction video.
Awesome reaction guys! As per usual that took me back to a time that had so many great memories! Thank you so much.
My boys Metallica! I’m glad you two enjoy them as much as millions of us do !
You guys hands down break down a song with passion and understanding of music better than the rest. Props 🤘
Over 30 years later and i can still play this song from memory on my guitar. I know, simple for those of us that grew up with early metallica.
Timing is impeccable , close connection with each other musically and personal
“Am I evil”
The title track Ride the Lightning is probably my most favorite Metallica solo.
It's my favorite Metallica song period. Pure masterpiece
For Kirk, yeah me too.
Great one, I've been waiting for this for so long!
Love you guys Lost In Vegas!! Always look forward to your videos and it helps me get through the days with my mental health!! Great reaction, hope you guys do more Metallica!!! Metallica has classics on classics, just about any song you choose is a go!
The fact Metallica is one of your best reactions. And you haven’t even done a live reaction is mind boggling.
Metallica in Moscow 1991 is a must!
Either 91 seatle or 92 San diego
@@dead5lender Seattle was 89
Probably saving them for patreon.
I am a huge Metallica fan and seeing how you enjoy Metallica makes me so happy because it reminds me of the very first time I listened to their songs without knowing what was about to happen.
I have enjoyed the honor and privilege of attending four Metallica concerts in my lifetime. First was “And Justice for All” in Atlanta the year I graduated from high school. Next was two shows back to back (the first date sold out so quickly that they added another show the next night!) also in Atlanta during the “Black album” tour. No opening act, no intermission, just three full hours of ass-kicking music! Lastly, was their more recent tour for “Hardwired to Self Destruct” in Charlotte, NC in October 2018. I have been a fan since hearing “Kill ‘‘em All” and I absolutely love this band!!! So glad you guys do too…
Definitely one of my favorite songs by them. I got to see them perform this in SF the night before the Superbowl several years ago and it was amazing live!
