Well, losing Cliff sure didn’t do the band any good, but the first three still melt my brain on a regular basis.

I admire their stand for property rights.

I have an old tape of Dave Mustaine's first demo release after Metallica and it has a song called "The Mechanix" - it's The Four Horsemen sped up about double with different lyrics. The rhythm guitar part must have been nearly unplayable live. It's probably unfindable today.

I was privileged to grow up in the Bay Area in the early Eighties and be "friends of friends" with a lot of those guys. My first Metallica show was their first concert after releasing Ride the Lighting, and they were already huge locally. You could see what was coming for them.

What a find! Hold on to that one. I have never seen a Metallica show, but I bet it’s a hard hitting performance for the entire concert. You got to see them early on.... Still hungry. Very cool you grew up with them and got to be a part of their climb. I watched Dee Sniders show on Netflix and the local NJ/NY crowd watched Twisted take off, selling out all the local venues in their rise to the top.

"Metallica morphed from a pure thrash metal band to songwriters."

Metallica did that in "Master of Puppets" if not "Ride the Lightning"
