lol revealing myself as untrue here but i was introduced to metallica mostly through that first apocalyptica record, and the riff for "harvester of sorrow" was basically simultaneously the meanest and prettiest thing i'd ever heard played on a cello

I remember being kind of intrigued / scared by Metallica due to the mulleted guy with the METAL UP YOUR ASS muscle-t in my study hall circa 1987. But somehow I ended up with a cassette of RTL a year later - I have no idea where it came from - and I used to listen to that or the Doors Greatest Hits tapes on my yellow walkman when I mowed my grandmother's lawn.
Still would have voted for Puppets over Lightning, no question. My favorite record from any band often ends up being the one I heard first, this is one of the rare exceptions.

For some reason whenever I heard Escape, I always had a made-up video in my head of James driving shirtless through a desert full of cacti singing at top volume and driving a shitty brown 70s van with one of those diamond shaped windows in the side.

Very surprised at this showing. I also know who exactly to blame for this.

Everyone, please give a "warm" welcome to our first multi-#1 entry.
i found the riff of "fight fire with fire" so confusing as a kid

i can believe you voted for "we did it again" but i'm really surprised you like "sad but true" that much

jesus that '86 version starts so fucking fast.
― lil urbane (Jordan), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 19:36 (eight years ago) link
honestly i have a hard time feeling the downbeat on some their super fast thrash tunes with the snare on the upbeat. not a lot to hold on to. FFwF in particular, the accents in the verses always get twisted around in my head to be on the downbeat.

so i think master of puppets may have been my first mp3 ever. a guy named XxMattYxX (i think) who i knew through a n64 cheat code forum sent it to me using aim file transfer. it took like 5 hours on a dialup

― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 7 July 2015 21:46 (eight years ago) link
great results. some grade-a killer songs in the list so far. hopefully we've seen the last of the Black album as i think its best three tracks have been represented (might have been more sympathetic to The Unforgiven back in the day as one of the better numbers, but it sits awkwardly with me now).

oh and yeah, 4 Horsemen slays
― charlie h, Wednesday, 8 July 2015 05:10 (eight years ago) link
I was the person who voted it #1! Always loved that riff; the version from the Cliff 'Em All VHS tape... When the synchronized headbaning kicks in when the galloping riff and drums kick in... As a teenager it was just so fucking perfect.

oh man, it still is perfect, let's face it.
also: the Fight Fire With Fire vid from '86 is nothing short of ferocious. love how they tear through it, no bullshit, just going about the job in the most intense way imaginable. would have loved to have seen them in that era.
― charlie h, Wednesday, 8 July 2015 06:31 (eight years ago) link
Glad to see so much love for Fight Fire With Fire. But a bit gutted it's unlikely Leper Messiah will make it now. I thought it might be the one Puppets track to be overlooked, much as I love it.

Though by my reckoning there are eight dead certs and two wildcards to come, so who knows.

No forgot Fade to Black, only one wildcard.

Memorized all sorts of bits from Cliff Em All tape: the absomotherfucking-lutely bit, where they all play freeze, the bizarre intro where they walk into a convenience store and walk out with beer in hand.
And oh yeah, shit like that version of Four Horsemen. I was definitely an MTV kid, but we did go off the grid every once in awhile.
