  Considering Cliff's aversion to becoming mainstream,I think metallica would've taken a very different direction had he lived.

  Kill em all is my fav Metallica album. The rawness, emotion, attitude, vibe is off the charts. Its like a time machine that warps into the 82-83 thrash metal scene, and you could feel it as if youre there!

  This was the start for me, Metallica rules from the beggining off what we called speedmetal. From then on, i was about 15 years young, everything was about their metal!<br>I am 59 now and enjoy every moment off their music! The family rules! ♨️♨️♨️

  A friend turned me on to Metallica in 1985. Kill em All and Ride the Lightning were out at the time and man, I was blown away at how good they were. Went to Master of Puppets tour in 1986 (Long Beach Arena) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFb3WPIEWF4&amp;t=266">4:26</a> and got see Cliff Burton right before he passed

  Who would have thought,that 4 men in their 20’s that were a part of starting the thrash metal movement. Would now have their third album in the Library of Congress&apos;s National Recording Registry.

  My Dad moved to El Cerrito CA from New Jersey the summer of 1980. I spent the summer of 81 &amp; 82 in El Cerrito then decided to stay for my stint in 8th grade at Albany Middle school. Little did I know (I did not hear them yet) that Metallica 😳 was living right down the road from my dad&apos;s house. I may have even seen them at the El Cerrito plaza and didn&apos;t know it. I moved back to Kendall Park NJ in the summer of 84. That summer my friend Sue Dominoski turned me on to Metallica &amp; was hooked from that day. Another little did I know happened....that they followed me to NJ &amp; were living 35 minutes from me 😳 Man I wish I knew then what I know now. Fast forward many years &amp; many shows later. I was able to redeem myself getting first come first serve tickets free from The Wiz for the Black album release listening party at Madison square garden . My friend Greg &amp; I made our way down to floor level right at an exit. And who do you think was hanging out there watching. They weren&apos;t supposed to even be there so they said.Kirk went into the crowd with his I would imagine girlfriend at the time and no one even knew it. A smaller group at the exit where I was knew Metallica was watching the show. I was able to reach down and high five James and Lars... After they played all the videos &amp; cranked the whole new Black album Metallica went on stage. Lars goes to the mic and says it&apos;s James birthday.... Everyone say fuck you James!!!! &amp; we did 😂 Never forget that day 🤘🤘🤘🤘

  One of those albums you put on and your reaction is....&quot;WHOA!&quot; It helped change the game and as a bass player we were given the bass &quot;Eruption&quot; with &quot;Anesthsia.&quot;

  Rochester is a great music city. Lived there most of my life. One of my earliest music memories was finding out Metallica recorded Kill em All there. One of my last was handing out with Danny Lilker at the Bug Jar.

  They were menacing and frighting. And they are classic!
