49 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000 The rest of you had these block party weekends you'd play like three Metallica songs in a row. 50 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000 Well, we had our triple shot weekends that we did those in. 51 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:08,000 But then Metallica was so huge, we actually bumped out what used to be a die hard benchmark at the radio station. 52 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,000 We bumped out Led Zeppelin and we threw in something called Mandatory Metallica. 53 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:21,000 We're each and every night you'd have three, four, five Metallica songs in a row. 54 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000 It was usually on the shorter end because some of those Metallica songs could be pretty long as we'll attest to here today. 55 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:32,000 But it was huge Metallica was massive. 56 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000 They took the world by storm and all of a sudden you started hearing these songs, 57 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:46,000 the older songs being played right next to things like Enter Sandman or maybe is the unforgiven, right? 58 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,000 So what we want you to think is in this particular case any legitimate podcast would tackle Metallica songs from the Black Album to Today, right? 59 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Everybody would do that. 60 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000 But thanks to my 10 year old daughter who just watched the entire series of Stranger Things, 61 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:13,000 tapping up with that amazing scene with a revitalized Metallica, its die hard fans falling in love all over again with Stranger Things because of the Metallica song being played. 62 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:21,000 They're opening up the door to an entire new generation of Metallica fans with Stranger Things to dig deep into their streaming audio services. 63 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000 Now there's a new season of Stranger Things that's set to hit here in 2025. 64 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:34,000 If I have the question remains will we continue to see a Metallica thread running through this Netflix series? 65 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000 I don't know. I am unsure. 66 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000 We've all yet to see how this will play out. 67 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:51,000 But I am fully aware that I will not be able to satisfy every die hard Metallica fan who says they don't get my band man. 68 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000 But over 40 years. 69 00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:05,000 Since way back in early 1984 when San Francisco's Titans of Thrash Metal issued Whiplash, the first single from their 1983 debut album Kill It All, not Kill It All. 70 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:13,000 1983 debut album Kill 'em all and its rallying shout will never stop will never quit because we're Metallica. 71 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Decades later Metallica has endured ragged rhythms blistering guitar work flat out. I mean the pace of 80's Thrash gave way to the more defined volatility and global reach of their 1991 album. 72 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000 And with that kind of resume there is absolutely zero debate here on Mount Rockmore we carve four songs into the side of the mountain. 73 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000 But you deserve a play in with that kind of resume. 74 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:50,000 So quick note about this one Metallica for this play in song never had made a music video before this. 75 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,000 But when they relented it turned out to be among the most harrowing things to be seen on MTV. 76 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Yeah let's carve it shall we all out not yet this is prior to the car. 77 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Despite its heavy duty subject matter one and its video helps score Metallica their first charting hits. 78 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:20,000 This is one on the Mount Rockmore pre-black Metallica edition play. 79 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:46,000 I can't remember anything, can't tell if this is true or a game deep down inside I feel the strain, the sterable silence stops in me. 80 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Now that the world is through with me I'm waking up I cannot see that there's not much left in me. 81 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Nothing is real but pain in our home. 82 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,000 My friend is I wish for death. 83 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000 Hopefully skies play me. 84 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:20,000 [Music] 85 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Back in the warmest months to real then comes that that I'm a stranger but can't look forward to a real look to the time when I live. 86 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Then to the two that speaks in me just like a word and a bold dear. 87 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Died to the sheet and being with me. 88 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000 You cut this life apart from me. 89 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Oh my friend is I wish for death. 90 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Hopefully skies play me. 91 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:22,000 [Music] 92 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:30,000 Now that the world is gone and gone but can't help me. 93 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000 Oh my friend is I wish for death. 94 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Hopefully skies play me. 95 00:08:40,000 --> 00:09:08,000 [Music] 96 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:32,000 [Music] 97 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Stop messing with me. 98 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:50,000 [Music] 99 00:09:50,000 --> 00:10:10,000 [Music] 100 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:38,000 [Music] 101 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:48,000 [Music] 102 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:54,000 And there you have your play in. 103 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000 The play in on the Mount Rock more of Metallica before the Black Album. 104 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Now despite performing that song in the 1989 Grammys they lost the first metal Grammy to Jethro Tull. 105 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Yeah I know it sounds stunning and it is but then they won the following year for one. 106 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000 Now friends it's Car of Time. 107 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:24,000 Four songs pre-Black from Metallica that we are going to carve into the face of Mount Rockmore here. 108 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000 This song in particular is nearly a seven minute standout from Killamall. 109 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:38,000 It has been a constant in Metallica's live performance set lists since its inception despite never officially being released as a single. 110 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Our first song on the Mount Rockmore of Metallica before the Black Album. 111 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,000 It was the first song the band recorded in a studio. 112 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,000 This song has frequently been performed at concerts since 1982. 113 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000 It was quite a while as a closing song. 114 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:04,000 It is the third most performed song in Metallica's history and it goes my friends to seek and destroy. 115 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:32,000 [Music] 116 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:42,000 [Music] 117 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,000 All right. 118

[Music] 193 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,120 If you throw down a one star if you only know James headfield to look like a finally 194 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:01,160 quifed hipster guitar player. 195 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,860 And then, throw down 5 stars. 196 00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:07,720 If you remember his days, looking like a live action version of the cowardly lion on stage. 197 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:12,920 Because, when Metallica reached a major career milestone in 2021, you know, when we were 198 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:18,720 all going through the COVID world, one social media user celebrated with a savagely funny 199 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,000 post that went viral, wow, Metallica is fucking turning 40. 200 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,880 Thank you for 7 years of great metal music, huh? 201 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,920 It was a masterclass in giving a back-handed compliment, but this was just more than a clever 202 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,880 joke for a certain faction of those Metallica fans, you know, giving me the one star. 203 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,960 In their first decade together, Metallica invented and then reinvented, thrash metal with a 204 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:49,840 series of albums that continually up the ante in terms of songwriting and just sheer brutality, 205 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,600 all becoming cornerstones of the genre. 206 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,840 Kill 'em all, ride the lightning, they exploded with youthful aggression, then you had 207 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:02,680 injustice for all and master of puppets, pushing the envelope for technical thrash and featured 208 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,240 some of the decades most sophisticated and memorable compositions. 209 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,840 So much so that as a guy like me who was a big poison fan at the time, I couldn't understand 210 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,840 Metallica. 211 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,640 I couldn't appreciate Metallica until years later. 212 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,800 And that classic Metallica lineup, James headfield, Lars Olrich, and James headfield. 213 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,200 I'm sorry, Kirk Hammett, Cliff Burton, they reached the pinnacle of their powers on the third 214 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:31,440 album, particularly with this multi-part, devastatingly beautiful title track. 215 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,040 Everything that makes Metallica great is on display here. 216 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,880 Headfields downpicking, unintentional baffling time signatures, which I still to this day 217 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880 don't know how Lars got around any of that. 218 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:49,200 Arena Ready, Colin Response Chats off the rail drum fills one of Hammett's most blistering 219 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:50,680 solos. 220 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:56,240 That headfield reaches this lyrical peak, painting a harrowing portrait of all consuming drug 221 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:01,920 addiction, with wordplay that would make aspiring MFA students jaws drop. 222 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,680 So when master of puppets enjoyed a reported 650%. 223 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,080 Think about that. 224 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:16,360 650% streaming bump from the Stranger Things season 4 finale in 2022. 225 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:20,160 It only further emphasized the song's universal appeal. 226 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:21,480 So think about that too. 227 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:27,720 There are some people who only know Metallica because of what happened with Eddie Munson 228 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,720 on Stranger Things. 229 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:55,080 Oh yeah. 230 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,160 And that's when the bad creatures come out. 231 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:02,960 And the actor who played Eddie did a fantastic job, Joseph Quinn, of playing Metallica's 232 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,840 master of puppets for the television show. 233 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:11,440 And the band themselves, according to reports, said to themselves, that's pretty goddamn 234 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,440 amazing. 235 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:19,880 Half a decade before the black album catapulted Metallica to the top of the rock world, this song 236 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:26,560 made the leap seem inevitable on the Metallica pre-black Mount Rockmore. 237 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:36,560 [MUSIC] 238 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:46,560 [MUSIC] 239 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:56,560 [MUSIC] 240 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:06,560 [MUSIC] 241

It's the band's first power ballad released as the first promotional single from their second studio album ride the Lightning. 420 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:30,560 Back in 1984.
