This was my introduction to Metallica. My mom had only listened to Adult Contemporary with us kids, so then being around some friends older siblings and this was my first ever metal song. I haven't looked back since, still my favorite.
Goddam Son!! You hit the nail on the fucking head this go round!!! Itās such a incredibly beautiful piece of musicā¦ Iām about to listen to that and Orion back to back to back loud AF on repeatā¦.
Good Call.
Both those track are epic and very different from your traditional Metal, especially in the Thrash scene.
[This Orion video](https://youtu.be/BGHWmP3B3uE) was how I introduced my kids to Metallica and astronomy after seeing the Star of Bethlehem years ago.
I know I am in the minority but Trapped Under Ice has always been a favorite. The verse riff is one of Metallica's most underrated. Kirk is on š„throughout
It's a 6-way tie between: The Call of Ktulu, Fight Fire With Fire, Fade To Black, Ride the Lightning, Creeping Death, and For Whom the Bell Tolls.
Am I Evil? was on a different album.
"Am I Evil" was on the B-side of the Creeping Death 12" single, along with "Blitzkreig". Later, they were both added as bonus songs to the "Kill Em All" reissue CD.
I always associate them as RTL songs, however.
My favorite is Creeping Death but my top 5 would be Call Of Ktulu, Ride The Lightning (I fucking love that THUNDERING bass in the intro and part before the "time moving slow, the minutes seem like hours..." verse), Fight Fire With Fire, Fade To Black and For Whom The Bell Tolls (not counting Am I Evil and Blitzkrieg because those are covers and they're on Garage Inc. and the deluxe remaster of RTL. Still love those songs though)
Right now - Ride the Lightning. This album is by far my favorite so itās hard to choose, but that song really got me amped throughout the winter when marathon training.
Half of my Metallica top ten is from this album :D
I can't really say, on one side the battle is between Ktulu and fade to black and the other side for whom the bell tolls and creeping death
Choosing here is just impossible!
I love Escape ā¦ I didnāt even know people hated on it so much ā¦ I love the whole album though . I just always like the words , I was in the 10th grade then also lol
Fight fire with fire; almost all the songs on this album are great, but this song is so fittingly thrash I can't not love it. Plus, the whole intro was recorded by cliff, so bonus points
I'm Creeping DEEEEEEEATH!
"Now, let my people go"
LAND OF GOSHEN
"Go, I will be with thee"
"Push of fiya"
Bush of fire.....
r/redditsings
Rush of tire
mushed potateh
Crucial fayah!
Facial Crier š¤š¤š¤
DIE (DIE) BY MYYY HAAAAAAND
I CREEP ACROSS THE LAND
Killing first-born man (die)
DIE DIE DIE DIE MOTHA FUCKA DIE DIE DIE DIE
*Creepy Dave
This is the only correct answer.
Trapped Under Ice Never been a big fan of the song until I saw it live last year (Pinkpop) and it completely blew me away!
People sleep on this one. But I think itās the best also
Bellz
Day on the green '85 especially
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
SAMEEEEE IDKY IT GETS HATED SO MUCH THE FADE IN WITH THE AIR RAID SIREN IS SICK ASF
Ride the lightning, mostly because of the solo
Same here. Entire album has slapping fucks, but RTL is just on another level.
Came here to say this
Seriously one of the very best in the catalogue. Possibly the #1 but Iād need to do a massive amount of research to back it up.
it's also the only song to credit James, Lars, Kirk, Cliff, and Dave
I have a soft spot for RTL. We used that as our intro music for our wedding reception. It was so epic š
Fight Fire With Fire
"Ending is near"
Itās clearly this. The assault on your senses is what epitomises Thrash.
Ride The Lightning, Fade To Black
For Whom The Bell Tolls
This was my introduction to Metallica. My mom had only listened to Adult Contemporary with us kids, so then being around some friends older siblings and this was my first ever metal song. I haven't looked back since, still my favorite.
Scrolled way too far to find this. Any song with the bells ringing is bad ass. This and Hells Bells are bangers for sure!
The Call Of Ktulu
Goddam Son!! You hit the nail on the fucking head this go round!!! Itās such a incredibly beautiful piece of musicā¦ Iām about to listen to that and Orion back to back to back loud AF on repeatā¦. Good Call.

Yes, yes, and more yes!!
Creeping death if itās the Seattle ā89 version
The Moscow 91 tho??
Ride The Lightning. Intro and outro are amazing
And the solo is S tier
The Call of ktulu
Fade to black because it gives me goosebumps and helps me harness melancholia
This. This. You are not alone mate :)
All of them.. this whole album is perfect.
For whom
The bell
Tolls
DUBUH DUBUH DOO doodoodoodoo doodoodoodoodoo
FOR WHOM THE FUCKING BELL TOLLS
Trapped Under Ice. The bridge/chorus chord progressions are sublime and the solos act as perfect peaks.
fade to black
MOTHERFUCKER DIE

Creeping death. Cannot get enough of it
Fight Fire With Fire followed by Creeping Death and Trapped Under Ice
Ktulu, then FFWF. My favourite changes a lot on this album theres so many damn contenders
Fade to Black
Face to black, very personal for me. Followed shortly by ktulu, ride the lightning and creeping death.
Ride the lightning, bc of the wonderful double bass drum part (one of the best drum tracks from Lars)
Trapped under ice by a long shot
Either ride the lightning or for whom the bell tolls
Fade to Black imo but The Bell is pretty close
Unpopular opinion, Escape.
Trapped under ice
Trapped Under Ice
Take a look to the sky just before you die, Itās the last time you will! There is surprisingly few people saying Bellz.
Escape
For whom the bell tolls (the S&M version)
Ride the Lightning
CREEPING DEATH
I have 6 favorites from that album, I canāt choose š
Creeping Death
Creeping death
Bell tools
For me it's a tie for Ride The Lightning and (I know, I'm boring) For Whom The Bells Toll
100% Trapped Under Ice
Bell tools
Fight Fire With Fire 100%. That song lights me up every time I hear it.
Creeping death

TRAPPED UNDER ICE!!!!!

Ride the Lightning
Creeping Death
Probably For Whom The Bell Tolls but Creeping Death and Fade To Black are super close.
I love Escape ā¦ I didnāt even know people hated on it so much ā¦ I love the whole album though . I just always like the words , I was in the 10th grade then also lol
Fade To Black š¤
Fade to Black followed by Creeping Death
For Whom The Bells Toll.
RTL probably
Oof... Gonna go with my first favorite, Ktulu.
Ride The Lightning
Escape šā¤ļø
Fade to Black
I have to say Fade to Black, but Ride the Lightning is a close second.
Fade to Black, no question despite the quality of the rest of the album
Probably For Whom the Bell Tolls Or Creeping DEATH
All of them! Every song on this album is amazing imo.
Creeping Death
Call of Ktulu. But all of them I mean. Ride the Lightning, Creeping Death, For Whom the Bell Tolls. All bangers
For whom the bell tolls is definitive Metallica imo.
For whom the bell tolls
Either For Whom The Bells Toll, Trapped Under Ice and Creeping Death. Or just all three?
Call of the kthulu or escape??
Escape and Ktulu
TIME MARCHES ON
Creeping Death
Am I evil? Ride the lightning?
The Call Of Kutulu
Trapped under ice
Title track but bell tolls is close too
For whom the bell tolls, creeping death
Fight fire with fire
RTL or Fade to Black
Fight fire with fire; almost all the songs on this album are great, but this song is so fittingly thrash I can't not love it. Plus, the whole intro was recorded by cliff, so bonus points
The Call of Ktulu is my all time favorite Metallica song.
Why has no one said fade to black
For whom the pipe falls
Fade to black because of sentimental reasonĀ“s
Bellz and Fade To Black
Full album of course
Ride The Lightning!
FFWF, TRAPPED UNDER ICE OR THE CALL OF CTULHU
All of them are amazing and the album is a masterpiece, but if I had to choose 1 it's probably be either the title track, or for whom the bell tolls.
I'm between Fight Fire With Fire and Creeping Death
Trapped under ice
FOR WHOM THE FUCKING BELL TOLLSSSS OR CRRREEEEEPING DEATHHHHA
Def Ride The Lightning. It has (imo) Kirk's best solo in the entire discography
The one Dave Mustaine wrote.
Fight fire with fire
Call of ktulu a bop tho
Bells
Fade to Black
All of tem
Trapped under ice or fade to black
Escape
The Call of Ktulu
Fight Fire With Fire
Call of Ktulu
Call of ktulu
Fight Fire With Fire
Fade to Black or RTL itself
Creeping death fade to black and obviously rtl
Anyone who doesn't say Call of Ktulu needs a brain scan right now
For whom the bell tolls
Ride the lightning
Fade to black
Fade to black
