Best song off kill em all

[MadAsAHatter]

The could make each album a comic book with the names like this as characters

Megadeth did it to promote their Cryptic Writings album. They released a 4 issue mini series based on song titles/lyrics.
I have the leather bound signed limited edition #1. I ordered it when it was first released in 1997. IIRC the leather bound was limited to 9,999 copies and the signed was 999 of those.

Jump in the Fire... great bouncy, greasy riff.

I'm surprised that S&D is in 2nd. For me it is near the bottom.

I'd go;
4 horseman
Metal Militia
No Remorse
Whiplash
Jump In The Fire
Motor Breath
S&D

I once was getting a great bj and got excited and stabbed girl in stomach with my toes nails

And yet, she (your 8th grade English teacher) still passed you so you wouldn’t have to repeat the year. This explains so much…

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.

Same. All of it

Song as a whole….Phantom Lord for me.

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.

The DOOM Gallop!

The DOOM Gallop!

It’s like a trusted children if the grave and faster

I picked Into the Fire because it's the first song of theirs I learned. That riff is very classic hard rock, so runs against what the new things they're bringing, but I love it. It's so much fun to play. I almost took Seek though since I've played it a ton over the years with various groups. It was always a great ice-breaker song with new players since everyone knows it.

This got me motivated to go back and listen to the entire album today, which was a great blast from the past. Controversial opinion: I think I like the guitar tone on this better using the Marshalls than the later Boogie tones that everyone else chases - those are great too, just not as great to my ear.

Every album they cranked out in the '80s sounded radically different than the one before it!

It's not unusual for song clips to run through my head on any given day, and when it's Metallica, it's probably more often from KEA than any other, especially one of their best:

Four Horsies
Phantum
No Remorsin'
Me-tal Militia-a-a-a!

And likewise when I'm warming up or putzing around on guitar, some KEA riffs almost always appear as if commanding my hands from the beyond. So much purity and hunger in that album.

I would have almost voted No Remorse, since the part from "Attack!" (around 4m45s) is so friggin' metal! , but with my first band (in the mid/late 90's) we did Phantom Lord back in the day, so that one holds a special place.
With my current band we've done a few from RTL, but added Four Horsies last year to the set. Cool song to play.

I don't get Seek either, since it's such a basic bitch song IMO... except the riff starting at 3m15s maybe. Always preferred Hit the Lites to it, Whiplash and MM.

Ahhh, the days of James and the bullet belt. The birth of Thrash!

I understand that Metallica is huge now and most people know who they are. In high school in 85' and 96' Metallica was only for the guys and a handful of us at that. Metallica was like Slipknot when their first album came out. Only us diehards could handle it. That seems hilarious now because they are so mainstream but they were so heavy to everyone. Most of us liked Cinderella, Crue, Dokken, etc but then the true headbangers out of us also were into Anthrax, Testament, etc. Metallica just didn't sound like anything else. Now we all know that NWOBHM ties but back then, those were unknown bands to a lot of us.

True story. The jerk off preppies and jocks that would give you shit for being a metalhead in HS were the same jerk offs running around singing Enter Sandman by ‘91.
They could have them, I had already moved on to much heavier shit by then anyway.
