Metallica - Hit the Lights

[shane809887]

Amazing how much Metallica has changed over the years.

[n420cowan]

hit the bong cause this song is 4:20 minutes longggg haha

[StoneyMcJuicyBuds]

I can't get past the poor production quality of this album and it's not just one or two songs the entire albums sounds like shit.

[hschick3]

@StoneyMcJuicyBuds it was done 28 years ago using analog technology thrown together at a very low budget. its metal.

[journeyjl]

@StoneyMcJuicyBuds It really shouldn't matter, that is a really dumb reason too not like something.

[Kitsune7Kyuubi]

[ender8631]

EMO TRIED TO DESTROY THE METAL, but look at how the emo kids make good fertilizer for my garden, ha ha ha ha

[Kitsune7Kyuubi]

[ChrisTheHealey]

METAL UP YOUR ASS!

[martinmartinezalex]

@ChrisTheHealey MORE LIKE METALLICA UP YOUR ASS!

[ryanpittman97]

i don't mean any harm to the fans but can someone please explain to me what the fuck is this song about i would like to know cuz i'm not big fan of rock. and can't understand why someone would like this. im not being mean or anything i just don't uderstand

[M16a4sniper]

@ryanpittman97 It's about moshing so hard you literally pile up to the lights, and yes it has been done.

[ryanpittman97]

@M16a4sniper oh thanks i didnt understand. thanks for not being an ass like most ppl. im trying to get myself to like rock since people say it's the best music genre

[M16a4sniper]

@ryanpittman97 No problem man, and more power to you! I suggest checking out Iron Maiden, they are really awesome too.

[ryanpittman97]

@M16a4sniper alright bro. and again thanks

[millerz2112]

@ryanpittman97 Why are looking at it if you don't like rock?

[ryanpittman97]

@millerz2112 CUZ I HAD A SIMPLE QUESTION I WANTED ANSWER. AND I DONT LIKE ROCK CUZ TO ME NOT BEIN RUDE TO U WHO DO LIKE I DONT GET IT. I MORE OF A R&B, HIP HOP, POP, DANCE, JAZZ, BLUES TYPE PERSON

[MegaRollerblade]

@ryanpittman97 get outta here with that rap garbage!

[ryanpittman97]

@MegaRollerblade rap is a good genere of music and is better than this

[chozo36]

@ryanpittman97 forget my first comment, if you want to get into rock I suggest Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and a little bit later, Black Sabbath. 99% of the time people shouldn't start with Metallica's first album.

[ryanpittman97]

@chozo36 OKAY THANKS. I LISTEN TO PARAMORE, THE BEATLES, THE SCRIPT, BLINK 182, AND OTHERS BUT NOT REALLY METAL.

[chozo36]

@ryanpittman97 The Beatles are good, as for the rest... well, they can't really lead to the good old bands.

[kris9124]

@chozo36 Unless your METAL ENOUGH!!!

[chozo36]

@kris9124 My first band was Megadeth, then 'Tallica, so I guess I was metal enough.

[MykeMetyll]

@MegaRollerblade

Hey now, hip-hop is amazing.

[chozo36]

@ryanpittman97 If you like Jazz and Blues how could you possibly NOT like Rock and ow could you possibly like R&B and all that other shit.

[MOGWarHammer]

@ryanpittman97 The song is simply about going on tour and blow the stage away with Thrash Metal

[ryanpittman97]

@MOGWarHammer ohhh

[xXxTYMANxXx]

@ryanpittman97 You're not being 'mean',yet you say you can't understand why people like this? Fuck off.

[SirNerdsAlot1]

I'm not trying to troll. Just saying that if anyone thinks Kirk Hammet is even CLOSE to mustaine in his playing, you have no idea what your talking about. Kirk can play the stuff you give him, but the minute you ask him to do something creative he's stummped.

[f0otball41]

Hit the LIKES!!!!!

[metallicaman774]

@f0otball41 lol

[filth69ify1]

[brutalMaC23]

And thus, the greatest band known to man, was born.

[grasscat1977]

every metallica album has gone platinum.100 million + CDs sold worldwide.these fucking guys deserve the utmost respect from all you shit talking pansies,now on your knees and bow before the phantom lords.

[shafta99]

this solo is insssssssssssssssssssssssssaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanneeeee!!!­!!

[mortemdrummer]

@shafta99

actually it's dave mustaine

[snappynuts]

@mortemdrummer

negative, that is Kirk Hammet 100%.... Mustaine wishes he could play like that ;)

[mortemdrummer]

@snappynuts

i will slay you.

[MetallicaFTW1981]

@mortemdrummer Dave is good, he invented the spider chord. :D ( which is one of the riffs of Ride The Lightning.)

[mortemdrummer]

@MetallicaFTW1981

lol it's fun to troll

[mortemdrummer]

@MetallicaFTW1981

btw metallica FTW!!!

[zombielandful]

@snappynuts hammet can't play one tenth of what mustaine can play

[broonie341]

@zombielandful Yet he still plays what Mustaine plays when metallica has a live show

[SirNerdsAlot1]

@broonie341 Yeah... Uh... NO! He sounds like shit when he tries to play something from the old days. All he can do is play with his Wah-pedal! And come to think of it, they all sound bad when they try to play stuff from the old days.

[Freyja1133]

Early Metallica would be known as  thrash metal

[b3BoYyO]

I use to hate the new shit but they grew on me. Fucking Metallica.

[BradB941]

Fucking love this song.

[HerveGamerDude]

@Sixshotreviews2 you gotta at least love ride the lightning

that record is classic

[HerveGamerDude]

@Thevillagepeople777 that's basically thrash's influence, so this is the first true thrash song

[HerveGamerDude]

why do i get fucking pop music or other songs when i try to listen to the 1st song of THRASH, THE GREATEST SOUND EVER? BLASPHEMY!!!! FUCK YOU YOUTUBE SEARCH BAR SUGGESTIONS!!!!

this song should have like 4million views not fucking 200,000!

a masterpiece, classic, but i can't fucking same the same for the rest of metallica's stuff after MoP because they sold out and became poser

[samboy1288]

The debut from Metallica was originally going to be called "Metal Up Your Ass," and from the get-go it's easy to see why! This song totally has that attitude... pure metal attitude of bands like maiden and priest, coupled with the "FUCK YOU" sound of hardcore punk like the misfits = METAL UP YOUR ASS!

[supermartincharles]

:D

[TuxedoClam]

And thus, Metallica was born.

[rayrayara]

Like everyone else who wanted to keep getting payed, they let themselves be "mainstreamed" by the media, the culprit is digital programming , nice for digital sound systems, shitty one dimensional din otherwise, the analog procedure, where the recording process is concerned ,is the correct application for RECORDING MUSIC...

[supermartincharles]

Woot head bang all night!

[genomac2021]

metallica after the black album was shit imo, and saint anger was a complete pile of crap, they have very few songs out of black album and beyond that are any good.....yes there are good songs..but when grouped up with other songs from the albums, its all shit, im not buying an album for one or 2 songs..thats liek spending over $100 for one album worth of good songs that you have to listen to 5 albums worth of shit to get to

[caddop22]

Thumbs up if you were alive when this album came out.......and know the year.

[metallica4413]

first thrash metal song ever made about 30 years ago and still kicks ass

[monstercrabee]

@metallica4413 The first thrash metal song was Symptom Of The Universe by Black Sabbath. It was made in 1975. I am sorry.

[metallica4413]

@monstercrabee that is hard rock. this is thrash metal. thrash is punk rock and BWHM. everywhere it says hit the lights is the very first thrash metal song which is true. u must not know what thrash metal is.

[monstercrabee]

@metallica4413 Well check the wikipedia page for thrash metal (I know I'm about to get a bunch of shit for saying check wikipedia). In case you son't know Black Sabbath is BWHM. Symptom Of The Universe has a fast tempo, complex guitar riffs and that's basically what thrash is. It may not sound like thrash metal to you, but this is when nobody even used the term thrash metal.

[metallica4413]

@monstercrabee hey dipshit ik black sabbath is. metalilica took that and punk rock and boom thrash was born. Symptom of the universe does no sound like anything from kill em all. its has fast tempo, complex guitar riffs butt so does black metal? thats like sayin ozzy is pop cause he can sing good because hey thats all pop is. METALLICA CREATED THRASH end of story.

[stevlachance1]

Thumbs up if you love Taylor Swift. Just kidding! I hate her too!!!! \m/ METALLICA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!! \m/

[MetalChickxX]

@stevlachance1 LMAO

[cherrypoppa92]

This makes me want to Punt a baby seal!!!!

[brainfog99]

Metallica best band on earth !!!!!

[bigdTE71or44]

@fridogg fuck that. Kill em All was not the only thrash album. All of there albums are thrash up till Black and then they went to just heavy metal/hard rock sound which are still great albums. THE BIG FOUR ALL KICK ASS

[luisguitarc214]

damn chipmunks, try remaking this!!!!!!!! WAIT NO!!!

[RainingBlood15]

Metallica albums in my order: Ride the Lightning, Kill Em' All, Death Magnetic, Master of Puppets, Load, Black Album, ...And Justice for All, ReLoad, St. Anger

[fridogg]

Metallica killed them all in 83, and Slayer showed no mercy in 83. This is really Metallica's only thrash album. Hammett nailed the solo's on this album. Groundbreaking album

[Anonymous91331]

@fridogg Hammet? He Wasnt In Metallica At The Time Its Mustaines Solo

[shafta99]

@Anonymous91331 this is kirk hammet playing this. mustaine was kicked out of the band on the way to new york to record this album. when they got there they hired kirk and got him there to play all the solos on the album. there is a version of this i once had on metal massacre one album recorded prior with mustaine on guitar and hetfeild singing falsetto?!

[HerveGamerDude]

@fridogg so ride the lightning and justice arent thrash? really?

[Grimnance]

this vid deserves more views

[undertaker7466]

KILL'EM ALL!!! Excellent album. If you like this you should check out Raise the Flag by Sanktuary, really good song.

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@Sixshotreviews2 I think their only good album was rtl. This album is just plain out mediocre and uninteresting.

[jordanjacobs100]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM dude suck a cock this album is better than anything you will ever make

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@jordanjacobs100 I dont need to. Their are plenty of better albums already made.

[HerveGamerDude]

@BLACKSABBATH0HM this album was very influential tho, you gotta at least give it that

[BLACKSABBATH0HM]

@HerveGamerDude Oh well yeah theirs no denying that. I'm just saying this album doesnt do much for me except for seek and destroy.

[DakrSnooze]

IF YOU LIKE METALLICA THEN CHECK OUT "RAISE THE FLAG - SANKTUARY"!!!! SOOOO BADASS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD BE ON KILL EM ALL! LOOK IT UP YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. BEEEEERS!!

[monsterbucket97]

people say master of puppetts is the biggest thrash and metallica album but its definately kill em all

[HerveGamerDude]

@monsterbucket97 no, best thrash album ever is pleasure to kill by kreator

[MrPetem75]

i'm sorry after the first four albums nothing else they did mattered

[alexgarcia2013]

@smallvile1992 I always thought it looked like someone putting their finger up to their lips.

[MrFirefox24]

This band got me into metal and rock (old school and new school). Im black and i love it. ALOT!!! xD

[ghostwhiskey]

as much as i love this album it doesnt hold a candle to what came next,the progress they made in a single year is just unbelievable. "kill em all" is basically an average sounding thrash album with a few inspired moments but "ride the lightning" sounds like it was written by the gods(or satan)

[doompudding1]

Sandy Ravage brought me here.

[Freyja1133]

DID metallica play a combination of speed & thrash metal in tehir early days?

[PutThemOnIce660]

@Freyja1133 duh

[HerveGamerDude]

@Freyja1133 they're the same thing aren't they?

[Harox04]

When we start to rock we never...WANNA STOP AGAIN!!!

[311james311]

@heavymetalchild1997 hell yeah thats the genious dave mustaine for ya :)!

[npla8435]

12 people have a different taste in music than I do... So I'm gonna respect that instead of bitching about it and headbang to this absolute masterpeice instead.

[Herreken]

@npla8435 Well said :)

[GunsNgabby]

Some people just don't appreciate good music anymore..but this song is fucking awesome!

[TeDDieChOPs]

@GunsNgabby I definetely agree...whats with the electronic music? at least metallica and all other bands BEFORE the computer modified songs were done with your fuckin hands and manually played in a studio so we can get our faces fuckin blown!!!! THANK GOD WE STILL HAVE FANNSSSSS

[Mhtrece13]

osamas lights got hit

[TheSplatter21]

12 people are afraid of the dark!

[oldskoolisthebest]

haha the song length is 4 20

wednesday is guna be awesome

[TeDDieChOPs]

@oldskoolisthebest i knwo right? and when u listen to it it looks like it lasted 3 mins and you want more xD

[oldskoolisthebest]

@TeDDieChOPs exactly

[HerveGamerDude]

@oldskoolisthebest yea but sound doesnt kick in until like 3 seconds

[VitalSigns1]

That scream at :48 is awesome!! I must have been totally missing that for years. That's really cool.

[BondedByThrash93]

They recorded this in New York!!! 0_0

[viperdawg41192]

enough with the whole "you're only a metallica fan if you like all the albums" or "you're only a metallica fan if you like everything pre-black album"

i like what sounds good to me and that has brought me to consider Metallica being the greatest band ever. there is good work in all of their albums. In my opinion, all of their albums were just awesome kill em' all through load. reload was decent, st. anger was not very good, but death magnetic was a huge bounce back to success

[anthrax231]

@viperdawg41192 i agree with u but idont like the load album but idont hate it

[jflysocal]

@viperdawg41192 thats why youre not fully accepted 

[Nercrophage]

@viperdawg41192 Agreed, DM was almost an RTL caliber album, not thrash but definitely heavy fucking metal, comprable in style to ...And Justice For all or MOP. It was a damn good album and i can't wait to see what they give us next!!

[TheBigjoe2000]

@viperdawg41192 i agree except about st anger i actually enjoyed the album alot and i never understood why people didnt but also death magnetic was awesome and i cant wait for more. rock on

[thismaybestupid]

@viperdawg41192 hopefully their supposed new album will be better than death magnetic. back to success!

[mortemdrummer]

@viperdawg41192

yeah but the less i respect them as people the less their music is idolable.

i make my own music.

[mentalfeed70]

@viperdawg41192 Load was shit easily there worst

[teenmetalfreak3]

I wish James' voice still sounded like this, or on justice... :(

[m169marroquin]

@teenmetalfreak3 what can you do when a man's balls finally drop?

[teenmetalfreak3]

@m169marroquin haha i guess you're right. I'll keep that in mind now, thanks

[SplatterdaySaints]

11 ppl didnt want to hit the lights

[rhyno4eva]

A true Metallica fan loves all their albums...except St.Anger.

[guitarded98]

@rhyno4eva ur obviously not one if you dislike st anger it is about their feelings at that time

[DimeRR5150]

When I think MetallicA I think Kill em' All through Justice.

Sadly I think it's too late for MetallicA to change to their old roots.

They lost their mojo.

[lastprojectX]

i fucking love this band they are the best band ever period ladies and gentalmen metallica

[RegurgitatedGuts117]

Mustaine on the guitar. He wrote damn near this entire album. This is one of two TRUE Thrash metal albums by Metallica, I just wish that they stuck to their roots, instead of changing their sound for money.

[shanefire6]

what happened to music nowadays? where did the fine stuff like this go??

I want it back! Ill be 95 someday still banging my head to this! long live good metal!

[killemall771]

The first time I heard this, I stopped breathing so that Metallica had my complete, undivided attention.

[CaptKaboom]

@CaptKaboom you are so cool for listening to some old school Metallica yeah fuck shit damnit!

[LedWilde]

i.m.o. Metallica's first 3 albums, the best! Justice and Black are good too though. After that they kind of lose me. It's still good stuff after that but even back then, Load and Reload was overplayed on the radio. Black was and still is too but doesn't sound as pop I guess.

[mario1136]

@LedWilde What? Load and ReLoad overplayed? Load and ReLoad never get airplay.

[LedWilde]

@mario1136 At the time 1997-2000 or something, it was played on the radio constantly. I still hear those songs a lot too. It depends what radio station you listen to and where you live, etc. Maybe your radio station has more of a variety.

[mario1136]

@LedWilde Man you're stations are so much better than mine, All I got is classic rock, 3 rap stations and a modern rock station

But once my modern rock station played nothing else matters.

[LedWilde]

@mario1136 It's confusing how many I have. I have at least two modern Rock stations, at least three classic Rock stations, and a fucking radio station that only plays 90's music only if you can believe that shit. The 90's station plays some rap but mostly they play 90's Rock. I live in a weird location almost right on the Florida/Alabama border and close to Georgia. I pick up a lot of stations from three states. Even so, I rarely listen to the radio anymore, lol. YouTube is my radio now.

[mario1136]

@LedWilde yeah youtube is my radio too lol

Man you're so lucky you don't live in Oklahoma because of such boring radio, but they play good stuff though

[RegurgitatedGuts117]

@mario1136 That sucks. I get a local radio station that plays nothing but thrash thursdays, death metal on fridays and black metal saturdays.
