Best song off kill em all

[Uzi Nein Millimetah]

Four Horsies. Love playing that one with a band!

MAN they were great back then.....

 

[Fiesta Red]

I like the Four Horsemen, but can't un-hear the Sweet Home Alabama riff that Dave put in the middle for Lars.

Coin flip on Four and Phantom...I leaned Four Horsemen

 

[Exo-metal]

That Four Horseman riff changed history. We never heard music so heavy, we didn't even know how to act. We didn't realize what were hearing at the time. It wasn't even close to any other song on the album at the time, sure the others quickly became what they were to us but were nothing like the Four Horseman.

Gotta be Phantom Lord for me followed by Motorbreath. They sound great and are a blast to play along too.

This 100%. I was a very young, little punk rock kid at the time and when somebody with a "boom box" cranked that song (Four Horsemen) on the school yard...I just had no idea what to make of it, other than I knew that I had never heard anything like it before, and it was just simply amazing. People did not play rhythm guitar that way. I was mesmerized, It was literally like an alien life form had dropped it off from the future. I get chills thinking about it. People who were too young (or too old) cannot fully grasp what early MetallicA did for music at that time...Changed things forever.

I got that album in ‘84, and while the entire album blew my mind, The Four Horseman was definitely the standout track.
They went next level on RTL.

Di'Anno era Maiden>Metallica

 

[anomaly]

..it’s on the’88 release.

I think it was on the Creeping Death single originally?? They did those two recordings in '84 I believe.

Indeed. And that raises a serious question, from me. Was it always “Creeping Death” - I just remember my tape was "Garage Days" but sadly that tape's been lost to the ages.

Strike the above, I’m just confused and would have sworn Blitzkrieg was on the GD’s EP, wiki says nope. Never knew of the Creeping Death single. Cool info, and thanks for the sanity check. It’s been a long time.

I picked No Remorse. It just vibes really well with me. Seek and Destroy next. Four Horsemen to round up my Top 3 from that album. If I could have a forth, Whiplash. That was the first Metallica song I learnt.

 

[Techdeth]

It's close, but it's totally "jump in the fire"

It's got the best riff on the entire album, and THAT isn't close

Seek and Destroy and the Four Horsemen are both rad, but they don't have the quality of riffage

4 horse men is the true first Metallica epic with odd structure . What they became and bettered on next 3 albums . That’s why it’s my fav . It’s got it all even sweet home Alabama is in that song !

My pick too

 

[Techdeth]

The hories taking the lead

 

[Techdeth]

No Am I Evil or Blitzkrieg?

They are only on the reissue

 

[Techdeth]

They were both on it when I purchased back in 1992.

I had thst reissue to . They were recorded after and before Ride . Am I Evil rules !

 

[Techdeth]

The last masterpiece from Metallica. Justice is incredible.

Black album Load/Reload and death magnetic ( and garage ) are incredible .

 

[Scot]

Would never argue Metallica’s talent. Just a different era is all. The first four albums are epic.
