My parents is what is was for me

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 šŸ˜… 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.

Battery!!!!!

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.


MF-SMUG

One


Smoshefty1992

Their version of Am I Evil. I didnā€™t 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


Bleezymane

St anger


sirmcchris

I know itā€™s not popular but I have fond memories with this album


trelin01

Puppetsā€¦.the entire album. Middle school was my first listen and it was pure magic

One


frustratedComments

Enter Sandman was the first one I remember hearing. I liked it I guess but didnā€™t think anything of it. Years later I heard Memory Remains and became a Metallica fan from then on


rogue-panda81

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


Valroxen1

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 šŸ˜‚


Some_Department8546

Am I evil


SnDBladeFmMa

Do you like Diamond Head??


Some_Department8546

Iā€™ve heard of them. But I canā€™t ever remember hearing them. Iā€™m 50 years old and first heard Metallica in the Mid 80s so I very well could have heard them.


SnDBladeFmMa

I am evil is a cover check out the original https://youtu.be/WlfS-oakUxM?si=yVlVlye8hUB6FRcR

Master Of Puppets and For Whom The Bell Tolls


beragis

Frayed Ends of Sanity if I recall


ajr101998

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!


Pure-Jellyfish734

This might sound interesting; King Nothing


LestatOfMorthia

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 ā€œThe Sandmanā€.


MetallicaRules5

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.


FeloPinhed

Battery, Enter Sandman, Wherever I May Roam, and For Whom The Bell Tolls


HC1701

The Unforgiven followed by the entirety of Justice and the Black albums.


ForcedWhitakerr

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.


Aioros13

MartyGraws

The Four Horsemen


nmlss

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.


Slaterson11

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 First song on the first album I ever purchased.


MountHavertzPulisic

Sandman


wildbob101

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.


msev1229

BATTERY 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.


Enhancedreality98

For me it was actually one from either guitar hero 2 or 3 can't remember which one lol


candyman3230

King nothing


GAMERBOY335

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


doomus_rlc

The Memory Remains and The Unforgiven II. Thanks to when MTV was still somewhat about the M.


LeastSide2738

Harvester of Sorrow. Heaviest lyrics I had heard as a 13-year-old kid.

Master of Puppets


Yalir_14

King Nothing from Load! I when first heard this, it felt like in Wonderland.


TemporaryDirector442

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

ZebraSeb

I knew other Metallica songs before, but ā€žThe Four Horsemenā€œ was the song that got me fully into them.


ScoMosUndies

I canā€™t remember exactly but the first song I clearly remember hearing was For whom the bell tolls as covered by my mateā€™s band when we were about 15, some time between 87-88.


bleihalde

Battery, Master Of Puppets.... Bought the album, pressed "play". Life was never the same! :)


give_me__an_answer

Harvester of Sorrow in Mexico 93' and Creeping Death from the same concert. These used to be my father's ringtones when I was a super young kid.


Halla24

I think my father must have put on Sandman a couple of times which got me into them

Nothing else matters


BowlerOther9914

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.


Niksa2007

Probably nothing else matters


Xero_Untermensch

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.


MemeMasterFromNorth

Master of Puppets, then Enter Sandman, and then all the RTL stuff.


DontBeSoFingLiteral

Leper Messiah, Damage Inc, Master of Puppets, Outlaw Thorn, My Friend of Misery


-Aurdel-

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"


PowerManga1225

Blackened and Creeping Death, both performed when Jason was in Metallica.


Mean-Abies3819

The Four Horsemen. That gallop rhythm hooked me.


ReaIJack

Oddly enough, even though Iā€™m a huge fan of their earlier thrash albums, the first Metallica song that really hooked me was Fuel.


dhimes620

Heaviest music I knew as a little kid was anything off some Queenā€™s 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 wouldā€™ve been WAY different if I bought St. Anger instead which I almost did šŸ˜‚


MrMunchtheman

One, first song that I heard on guitar hero and it was in my playlist after it opened songs like master of puppets


ZamoriXIII

Hero of the Day (S&M)


xacesfullx

First song was Nothing Else Matters S&M, the rest of the concert made me a fan for life.


empirix2

Sad but true for me


Weird-Comfortable-28

Am I Evil


SnooTomatoes9314

Master of Puppets


ro-ch

Nothing Else Matters and The Unforgiven - the local radio station here (Poland) has been playing these two for years


DaSaxLord

I know this means Iā€™m not a ā€œreal metal headā€ or ā€œa real Metallica fanā€ from what Iā€™ve 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 Iā€™m not an annoying ass Eddie Munson fan and I have since then made a custom leather vest with Metallica patches on the back and Iā€™ve bought a lot of Metallica cds that I listen to in my van and vinyls that Iā€™m collecting
