I'd never heard anything like that before. I listened to that tape non-stop for a week or so. Then I borrowed, and bought everything else they had done... I quickly branched out to Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, DRI, Testament....
Then a year or so later ... And Justice For All came out. Bought it (on cassette) the day it came out. I wasn't sure about it at first... Blackened was great. I liked Shortest Straw, and Dyer's Eve... The rest was so rambling. Then I decided I didn't really like that one. A couple years later the Black Album... Hated it...
As an adult that plays guitar... Justice is an amazing record. It just sounded different to me back then.
I pretty much tuned them out for years. Then I heard some of the stuff they did with Rick Rubin... I liked it.
If you've never seen it you should check out the Lost in Vegas channel on YouTube... It's awesome watching a couple of black dudes listen to Master of Puppets for the first time. We know every word, note, and chord of that song backwards... But it takes you back to see someone hear it for the first time.
I wouldn't mind seeing them live. I never have... Hell, I've still never seen Maiden live.
I don't listen to metal much anymore, but it still puts a smile on my face.
Master of puppets was the 2nd CD I ever owned... first being White Zombie Astro Creep 2000... (but that was stolen) and I grabbed metallica master of puppets on a whim.. and been hooked ever sense.
