The song "Enter Sandman"

[YY1]

IMO starting with the Black Album, it all sounded like "regular" "rock and roll".

All that "high end" orchestration and attention to detail was gone.

I think I've heard maybe three songs since 1991 that are in the same league as the 83-89 period.

They've just never done it for me.

Now, Allman Brothers, 38 Special, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Grinderswitch, Stillwater, ARS, Government Mule, and on and on.

Well, I reckon we can't all like the same things, and there's some pretty good stuff in that list of yours too.

You forgot Molly Hatchet….

You forgot Molly Hatchet….

Oh hell yeah!

 

[Divenut]

Damn...30 years!? Crazy! Though I really feel old when I looked up this one from 1971 that got me hooked on rock and metal as a budding guitar player in 1976. Time sure does fly.

Enter Sandman is one of them songs that makes my right foot want to go to the floor!

I tried watching that video on my phone right now (waiting for the girls to get ready) and i noticed it had a strange "stereo" to it

So i looked around the room and my boy, 15, sitting on the other couch picking on his Hush guitar, picked up and it and played right along

Hard to believe this song is that old now, YIKES! They sounded pretty damn good live. HUGE crowd too. That opening theme song at the beginning of the video was also at the tail end of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly movie with Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach & Lee Van Cleef. Long before Modelo used it in their beer commercials.

Metallica frequently opens their shows with GB&U.

...but the Ramones did it first!

In my book- the "Garage Days" period between MOP and AJFA is some of their best work.

LOTS of influences I knew about and LOTS I didn't that turned me on to a whole slew of "never played on the radio" music.

 

[Dartswinger70]

I grew up with "Pre-Sandman" Metallica circa 1983-89.
No radio airplay and only "word of mouth" advertising.

I saw the 1988 Monsters of Rock tour.
The 1989 "And Justice For All" tour
and the 1991 "Black Album" tour when 85% of their set was pre Black Album songs.

Same here 86 when they opened for Ozzy everyone went but not to see Ozzy...
