I remember this as my first song that got me into Metallica... on a school bus, going to play another football game. Our quarterback popped into the seat next to me and asked me if I had ever heard of Metallica (it was 1984)..
I told him no.. he handed me his earphones to his Walkman and told me, "check this out".
I listened for a few seconds and took the headphones off, and told him I didn't like it.. it was too heavy. (I was pretty much only into Christian rock, at the time.)
He told me to keep listening.. since I also played guitar at the time, I ended up listening to the whole cassette... I was hooked.
I still blame him for getting me addicted to Metallica, lol.
I detest that entire album.
Master of Puppets hooked me in, too. But it was released in 1986, not ‘84.
These days if I want to listen to something heavy, Testament works quite well.
And, as I mentioned on the other thread, the soundtracks for the newer Doom games.
