[Stee]

Back in the day... seek & destroy was the first song I heard from metallica. I was a fan instantly.

[dragondan]

If you're an old metallica fan there's only one song made you go insane 'bout them ;
ACTING LIKE A MANIAC....WHIPLASH !!!!!!!!!

[MEJ1990TM]

Seems like For Whom the Bell Tolls was the first Metallica song to get stuck in my head. I must have been about five at the time. 16 whole years ago.

[Spleen]

I remember hearing For Whom The Bell Tolls on the radio a lot when I was younger. I liked it, but it wasn't until around St. Anger when I started listening to them as a fan.

[Fedryktulu]

One's first half and NEM.

[Chaos_Guitarist]

Master of puppets, first metallica song i listened to, still my favorite song of all time.

[blacklightningride]

Battery, but then again I mighta been too young to tell.

[algomas]

I had a part-time job in '93 or so fixing household equipment and one guy used the black album as a test-cd when he was repairing cd-players, I was 14 and had never heard of metallica really but fell in love with nothing else matters from that moment.
Then at school, a guy hears me listening to NEM (on repeat) on my discman (yes I'm really old:) and plugs in his earplugs in my ear and starts the four horseman..I was baffled..that was the coolest thing I've ever heard..I was hooked from the starting riff..
Then he let me listen to master of puppets and I think I was almost drooling by the end of that song..
Two weeks later I bought myself a guitar and a shitty amp and started a metallica cover band with some friends:)

Youngster. Hell by looking this over I say that most people here are young.

First time I heard them was "camping" out in a tent in my friends back yard around 87. We were about 8 and he had his tape player and his cousins MOP tape. I am pretty sure the first song we played was the title track. Have not looked back since.

[Mastoshuggahtallicus]

I had heard Enter Sandman before, but from the moment I heard that tremolo picking kick in in All Nightmare Long, I knew I'd be a Thrash Junkie forever.

[Hate is a Four Letter Word]

One

One of the best songs ever.

[Justice Rider]

The music video for One I never knew who or what Metallica was, or what even metal music sounded like (I thought it was all crazy cookie monster vocals singing about the devil) and than my best friend showed me the music video I was like OH MY GOD!!!! This is amazing since than I've became a fan. (since 2006)

Wherever I May Roam. 8-1-92

it was my friend's 14th B-day. a debate broke out among his friends as to which band was better - Metallica or GnR. I was not familiar with Metallica at the time (I was 12), but i had just bought Use Your Illusion II so i naturally voted for GnR out of my ignorance of metallica.

to prove a point one of the guys pulled out the black album and blasted Roam.

changed my life forever. been a die hard fan ever since.

[Master of Cynicism]

Fuel was the first song I remember hearing of theirs and absolutely loving. Didn't get obsessively into them until more recently, though.

[ThePhantomLord666]

for me it was Four Horsemen and Whiplash thanks to Tony Hawk Underground 2

[Cloud Man]

Blackened, many years ago.

[LightningRider_97]

One was my first Metallica song, been my favorite for a long time.

[JD08257O]

Ride the Lightning

[ThePhantomLord666]

[GetOwnedBroski]

One

[malik]

Well, I heard I disappear when I was like 8 on the MI:2 soundtrack, & that's what got me interested in heavy music in general, but I didn't actually get into the band until I heard Justice. That was what started it all.
