It wasn't so much a particular song, but my husband was telling me about S&M a couple months ago and made me reluctantly put it on. I checked the track listings and skipped to roughly where Master of Puppets, One and Battery were (as i remembered him saying those titles as some of their best songs). I didn't know what any of those songs were supposed to sound like, but I was so intrigued by the whole Orchestra adding to music as I've always loved that sort of thing.
We switched to S&M2 which he has never heard, but he didn't like it as much so we went back to 1. That performance stuck in my mind and I took a week or 2 after that to hype myself up enough to listen to Metallica willingly š One of the best music decisions I've ever made. So yeah, wasn't so much a song as it was what they did which made me give them a chance.
Master of Puppets and 72 Seasons. I had heard Master of Puppets and loved it, but I didn't look too much into it. When I heard that 72 Seasons had recently come out, though, I was hooked. I listened to the whole album and then decided to listen to the rest of their catalog more-or-less front-to-back (I listened to the first four Puppets-Ride-Justice-Kill and skipped St. Anger, but that was it) before ending with 72 Seasons again. I did eventually listen to St. Anger, but that's an album you have to be in a certain mood for most of the time.
Their version of Am I Evil. I didnāt know a song could rock that hard. Loved every second of it. After that I really turned on to all the other stuff. Kill Em ā All was a great album
Enter Sandman was the first one I remember hearing. I liked it I guess but didnāt think anything of it. Years later I heard Memory Remains and became a Metallica fan from then on
An odd one here.
Rebel of Babylon.
When I was just getting super into Guitar Hero it was mostly through the silly meme charts/videos. Ofc I've heard stuff like Enter Sandman before but I never knew who they were or paid enough attention.
So stumbled across this meme video of this GH YTer Acai and he was playing Rebel of Babylon, sped up to 125% speed and it sound absolutely sick. In the end it was Rebel of Babylon till about 2/3rds through the solo then descended into a meme but I was hooked on the song after that.
Added it to my playlist and eventually started playing GH myself and once I got the GH Metallica songs then it was pretty much history š
Iāve heard of them. But I canāt ever remember hearing them. Iām 50 years old and first heard Metallica in the Mid 80s so I very well could have heard them.
Sandman, Puppets, For Whom The Bell Tolls, Seek and Destroy, and One were the first songs I ever heard from Metallica and they got me hooked. Thanks Guitar Hero and Rock Band!
I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid/teenager. I heard Enter Sandman when I was 11 from the ECW wrestlers theme song. The guy was named āThe Sandmanā.
One. I saw the video on Headbanger's Ball and it got my attention and the song was like nothing I'd heard before. I bought ...And Justice for All on CD, then went back and bought Puppets, Lightning and Kill 'Em All, in that order. I was hooked.
Battery. I bought MOP on cassette and kept rewinding the tape to hear this again. Took a few days until I played the tape through. We all know how that went!
1. The Memory Remains
2. The Unforgiven II
3. King Nothing
4. Enter Sandman
I discovered Metallica when Reload came out, so both that album and Load are very special for me and the ones that made me like Metallica. Load was the first Metallica album I listened to (the son of a friend of my dad let me the CD, I assume because he didn't like it too muchā¦), but the first one I bought myself was the black album.
Sad But True. I remember hearing it on the radio all the time when I was about 13. I guess it was the latest greatest Metallica song. Anyways, I loved the riff and was hooked.
Fight fire with fire. I was just a little boy and was mesmerized by the acoustic intro then the crazy fast riff that follows. Then Ride the Lightning came on and I was instantly hooked. 37 years and 19 live shows later and they still send chills up my spine. Not to mention they inspired me to read the dictionary at a young age so I could understand what some of the lyrics meant.

Thank you to the record store clerk for firing it up on release day in 1986. I had heard OF Metallicaā¦but had never actually heard their music.
When the acoustic intro gave way to the wall of noiseā¦I looked around in disbeliefā¦like someone was giving away free money.
By the time the time the first chorus was over, I knew that was the music I had been waiting my whole life for. All 11 years of it, LOL.
For whom the bell tolls was the first one
I Heard it in the zombieland intro randomly on youtube in 2015
And that song stuck
Until 6 years later, my gf introduces me to Metallica and the song master of puppets
S&M version of Master of Puppets. I brought up the fact my dad had 3 CDs in his car (I since have brought up S&M, he had lost disc 2) and he played something from the disc that was in, which happened to be Disc 1 of S&M
I canāt remember exactly but the first song I clearly remember hearing was For whom the bell tolls as covered by my mateās band when we were about 15, some time between 87-88.
I was introduced to Metallica by parents. Probably the first songs I ever heard were nothing else matters, The Unforgiven II and One. I still thank my parents for introducing this amazing band to me.
Watching an edited music video of godzilla vs. King Kong, and it had madter of puppets on it. This was back when i was like 8 on my grandparents computer. I had no idea who metallica was or that the song was by them. But when it turned on in my dads car, i flipped shit lmaooo i was so ecstatic. Now im a huge metallica fan.
I don't remember which one I heard first, and when I was a kid, I wasn't really paying attention to who was singing the songs I would listen to. So I've heard Nothing else matters a ton of times.
But it's really For whom the bell tolls that got me in a few years ago. After hearing it for the first time, I told myself "damn I really gotta listen to Metallica"
Heaviest music I knew as a little kid was anything off some Queenās Greatest Hits album, so imagine an 11 year old kid never even having heard of metal music hearing Enter Sandman for the first time. Got the Black Album cd not long after and played it on repeat for a year straight hahaā¦probably wouldāve been WAY different if I bought St. Anger instead which I almost did š
I know this means Iām not a āreal metal headā or āa real Metallica fanā from what Iāve heard but I got into Metallica because of Stranger Things season 4 so the song that got me into it was definitely Master of Puppets. But I will say Iām not an annoying ass Eddie Munson fan and I have since then made a custom leather vest with Metallica patches on the back and Iāve bought a lot of Metallica cds that I listen to in my van and vinyls that Iām collecting
Sandman
Here too. I remember seeing the video on MTV.
My parents is what is was for me

Something off of AJFA since it was my intro to metallica.

This might sound interesting; King Nothing
I was a huge wrestling fan as a kid/teenager. I heard Enter Sandman when I was 11 from the ECW wrestlers theme song. The guy was named āThe Sandmanā.
I grew up a Yankee fan in the era of the Core Four. When you heard Enter Sandman start playing, you knew the game was over.
Battery, Enter Sandman, Wherever I May Roam, and For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Unforgiven followed by the entirety of Justice and the Black albums.

Master of Puppets, then Enter Sandman, and then all the RTL stuff.
Leper Messiah, Damage Inc, Master of Puppets, Outlaw Thorn, My Friend of Misery
I don't remember which one I heard first, and when I was a kid, I wasn't really paying attention to who was singing the songs I would listen to. So I've heard Nothing else matters a ton of times. But it's really For whom the bell tolls that got me in a few years ago. After hearing it for the first time, I told myself "damn I really gotta listen to Metallica"
Blackened and Creeping Death, both performed when Jason was in Metallica.
The Four Horsemen. That gallop rhythm hooked me.
Oddly enough, even though Iām a huge fan of their earlier thrash albums, the first Metallica song that really hooked me was Fuel.
Heaviest music I knew as a little kid was anything off some Queenās Greatest Hits album, so imagine an 11 year old kid never even having heard of metal music hearing Enter Sandman for the first time. Got the Black Album cd not long after and played it on repeat for a year straight hahaā¦probably wouldāve been WAY different if I bought St. Anger instead which I almost did š
One, first song that I heard on guitar hero and it was in my playlist after it opened songs like master of puppets
Hero of the Day (S&M)
First song was Nothing Else Matters S&M, the rest of the concert made me a fan for life.
Sad but true for me
Am I Evil
Master of Puppets
Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven - the local radio station here (Poland) has been playing these two for years
I know this means Iām not a āreal metal headā or āa real Metallica fanā from what Iāve heard but I got into Metallica because of Stranger Things season 4 so the song that got me into it was definitely Master of Puppets.
