Metallica: Dyers Eve (Remastered) 

The transition from To Live Is To Die to this scared the shit out of me

People, people, people. It's remastered - not re-mixed. That's why there is the same amount of bass guitar now as it was on the original release.

Imagine hearing this song for the first time ever in 1988. It was literally the heaviest song on earth.

There’s so many things about Metallica that are overlooked, but right at the top is James’s intense and powerful lyrics. This isn’t generic metal stuff. This is the pain in his heart laid bare for everyone to hear.

1st time listening: heavy... I like it 2nd time listening: *can’t stop head banging* 3rd time listening: DEAR MOTHER DEAR FATHER!!!!!

The best Lars has ever sounded on any Metallica album

I can so relate to this song. Parents should encourage their children's dreams not rip them into pieces. This will sow seeds of confidence and high self esteem while establishing a positive bond with parental figures.

Bass sells, But Who Buying?

“I’ve outgrown that fucking lullaby” as a 13yr old when this came out this became my favourite tune on the album classic!

3:38 I’ve had this album for 25 years and cannot get over how insane that solo is and that drop after, honestly the most powerful shit Metallica has ever done. masterful.

Shit pisses me off that they never played this in their prime. Like why?. song is pure destruction.

BEST THRASH METAL SONG EVER

4:36 "Cannot cope without RU-vid."

Absolutely the most rage, hardest, heaviest and most brutal Metallica song, musically as well as and lyrically It's in my personal Top 5 of Them together with Master of Puppets, Unforgiven, One and Fade to Black. I love it

RIP Lars legs

Dyers Eve. Still underrated. One of the best tracks on this crazy album. Together with "blackened". Thank you, Metallica. I love you

Dear mother, dear father What is this hell you have put me through? Believer, deceiver Day in, day out lived my life through you Pushed onto me what's wrong or right Hidden from this thing that they call life Dear mother, dear father Every thought I'd think, you'd disapprove Curator, dictator Always censoring my every move Children are seen but are not heard Tear out everything inspired Innocence Torn from me without your shelter Barred reality I'm living blindly Dear mother, dear father Time has frozen still, what's left to be? Hear nothing, say nothing Cannot face the fact I think for me No guarantee it's life as is But damn you for not giving me my chance Dear mother dear father You clipped my wings before I learned to fly Unspoiled, unspoken I've outgrown that fucking lullaby Same thing I've always heard from you Do as I say, not as I do Innocence Torn from me without your shelter Barred reality I'm living blindly I'm in hell without you Cannot cope without you two Shocked at the world that I see Innocent victim, please rescue me Dear mother dear father Hidden in your world you've made for me I'm seething, I'm bleeding Ripping wounds in me that never heal Undying spite I feel for you Living out this hell you always knew

Metallica had been my favorite band since I was 13. I'm 50 now. This is my favorite song of theirs and also my favorite album.

"Children are seen but not heard, tear off everything inspired"... That line hits when you lived through that and are having a bad day

4:23 that fucking heavy and raw riff, just amazing

One of the best metal albums of all time 🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤

People need to know the difference between REMASTERing and REMIXing, theres no "more" bass because the bass track itself is mixed the same way. Simply put, the sound is better in this version

We were all chanting "Dyer's Eve!" at the last Metallica concert, but they wouldn't play it :(

3:36 i have literally never heard a more insane solo. Damn Kirk

Tonight my girl is out an I just listen to metallica bring me back 30 years of the best times I have had, walking the halls of high school with a cut off jean jacket with a patch and sony walkman blasting And justice for All. Man the eighties produced the best of heavy metal.

Tom Araya : I have the lowest Bass volume Jason Newstead : HAHAHAHAHA NO U DON'T!!!!!

Some of heaviest subject matter for it's time. What a brutally honest song that im sure a lot of people can relate to. Very good poetry

Even without a booming bass guitar sound, Metallica still made some raw, rough and abrasive sounding Thrash Metal music! The Pioneers of Thrash arguably at their creative peak on AJFA here. Dyer's Eve thrashes with the best of them!

This is the craziest and most insane 5:13 in Metallica’s catalog. It’s an all time great. Mixing true meaning (Jame’s life) with controlled chaos makes this one of my favorite Metallica tunes of all time.

next step is to play it live

One of the best riffs ever in my opinion 4:19

I love that riff at 4:23 damn that's heavy

"VINYL: LIVE - SEATTLE ’89 (triple LP) Newly mixed by Greg Fidelman" OHHHHHHHHHHHH MAY GAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!! THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Listen at 0:46 with a set of headphones. Once you train your ear, you can hear it clear as day on the rest of the album. This mix is what the album is, always was and always will be.

"Cannot cope without RU-vid." Way ahead of their time.

My wife got me this CD for our anniversary and I heard this song for the VERY first time the other day. This...just the lyrics about his parents and the story behind it. Not sure if there's a harder song they've made. Yes there's Master of Puppets and One and others, but...parental trauma? That's something _everyone_ will understand. Plus the riffs are brutal!

Maybe it's a good thing that the sound mix sucked. If Justice had Black Album's bass and vocal tone there would have been no point in anyone recording more metal ever again.

I’ve never clicked a notification faster

arguably Metallica's greatest ever song, definitely Metallica's most underrated song.

James is so well spoken in this song- it's one of the most powerful songs metallica has ever released and I love it

Play it live again!

So people say that the master tapes are damaged. Guess you could say... it's *damaged justice* all over again

I can relate to these lyrics so much right now, I cry almost every time I listen

The most complicated Metallica song ever . A masterpiece and would take me a year to learn

It needs a remix more than it needs a remaster.

4:22 is when the mosh pit starts.

The most furious and aggressive song of Metallica's entire discography. What a fenomenal way to finish a espetacular album, with a masterpiece like this. About the lyrics of this song, I think is honestly one of the best ones metallica ever made until this day. Insanely good song. Forever a banger. Heavy as hell. Metallica is the goat.

Still crushes my skull. Still sounds like a malevolent magnificent monstrous METAL masterpiece to me.

First 8 songs: Let's make the most technical metal album ever. Closing track: DEAR MOTHER DEAR FATHER!!!

this whole album is just awsome, best in their discography (in my oppinion). Its the most technical and i just love how james sounds in it. also the guitar tone is just ear porn. people often complain about "lack of bass" on this album.... and yea there are no clear "cliff burtun'y" solos on here but jasons bass makes the guitars sound more powerful and rich.

Definitely one of Metallica's best songs. I wish Lars could still play like this.

Ajfa is just perfect.

Highly underrated song on the album.

The hardest song to play for everyone in the band, I think.

My favorite songs from this album ❤️

Idk but its something that gives me chills every time i hear this song's lyrics

I love metallica

Greatest album ever made in the history of music! 🤘🤘

I think this song is, by far, one of their most beautiful and IMPORTANT songs they ever wrote. It is rarely, if ever, played live these days due to the 200+ bpm and the absolute skill it took to play it at all; but circling back to my original argument, no one can deny the meaning behind this song is inarguably relatable to so many kids who are stuck in awful families, or even the foster system. While people love to say metal music is satanic, I love to remind them that metal music used to be the only genre of music where men could be emotional and truthfully speak about sensitive political matters without being judged by their counterparts. Metal music isn't evil. Matter of fact, it is, in my opinion, the most pure, straightforward music there is. Beyond the heavy riffs, mindblowing solos, and emotional rage displayed in this genre is significant intellect. It takes an intelligent mind to be able to appreciate the value of true metal. The people who "just hear loud noises" are the close-minded.

I've been down with this album since days of cassette. I swear I've never had an issue with the bass or lack thereof. Not to be smug (yeah but I will hold on a second) but I know how to work and EQ, even on modern and whack playback devices. Sure, I used the Bass Boost button on all of my boxes back in the day and have the bass at +12DB currently on an XPS, but damn guys. Get some ears! This album hits hard and always has.

Sounds brighter, more defined. Still woof woof low end guitars but it's cool. Thats what the album sounds like.

IDK wtf you people are saying! Dyers Eve has ALWAYS been my favorite Metallica song. THIS remaster sounds AMAZING!! I'm looking forward to owning this box set, AJFA is one of the BEST METAL albums of ALL time!! \m/

To anyone else who grew up with dictators as parents, this song is 3X as heavy. It draws out some of that long buried anger of being forced to start life hobbled and blindfolded; raw genuine anger that burns in the depths of your gut. Thanks mom and dad 😡

When I just a kid I left home after I had an argument and before I took off my parents were heading off to work, this was when I was going through a cycle of depression and I also had difficulty being able to speak or understand things as I was also on the autistic spectrum, this song hits me hard every time remembering the pain and stress I put my mother and father through, at the time I never understood anything and never realised what I've done and what they were doing for all this time, all of these things they were doing for me was because they cared for me that they loved me, when they came back from work, they couldn't find me as I was out of the house, as I was gone they were fearing the worst possible scenario, that I might have been kidnapped, disappeared without a trace, ended up lost or even dead, I regretted that very moment and wished I never had done that, to this day I wondered why I even did it, I don't know why I felt the need to get out of the house and put my own life in danger, it could have been a fatal and tragic mistake. My mother and father originally received word from a neighbour who was a close friend of a relative from my father's side who lived across the street, told my parents that the front door was open and the lights were still on at night and he checked to see if i was home and nobody was home, my mum and dad had to rush back home from work, it was the most terrifying moment my parents had to endure and I hated every moment of what I did to them, what I put them through was the worst thing that I ever done, no words can describe it, my life was going through a downward spiral after what I did, I was never the same since then.

My favorite album. To me it is the most powerful of all their albums. It's strong and heavy.

We need One Remastered :D

⚡⚡🖤🖤🗿🗿🗿pure heavy metal......🖤🗿🗿🗿⚡⚡

Such an underrated song, it's my favorite

no bass no justice for Jason

Im a simple man, i see AJFA, i click

Bought this album new in 1988 still love it today

Metal at it's finest. Best song they ever made. Fricken' goosebumps.

The guitar riffs on this album are some of the heaviest I ever heard. People are probably right if there had been bass this would be the best metal album ever.

They better do Death Magnetic... I want to listen to that record with a smile and without my frockin ears bleeding. This sounds great anyway

Dyer’s Eve: *starts playing* My head and neck: “Ah, shit… here we go again.”

This album started not only my foray into heavy metal but passion for being a guitarist! I learned how to play from AJFA!!!

33 years later and the song still get you hype

I was 14 years old an worked for a ticket finally went to the indoor concert in Mannheim Germany. IT was like a religious experience for me and the Solos were breathtaking. Gods of my youth!

The contrast in the verses between the 1/16 note kick drums, the sustained power chords, and the vocal melody is so powerful. I listen to metal for those kinds of rhythmic innovations and cathartic extremes of texture

You are the Masters of Metal. Thank you Metallica.

Well the um... guitar sounds bassier I guess? 😂 Just get Jason back and record it again!

Love how raw this sounds. This is seriously one of Metallica’s best albums.

Dude this song is the most badass album closer ever

Its definitely brighter, just like the other remasters. There is more distinction between the instruments, though of course not as much in the bass as there could be, but it wasn't remixed. I can sure hear the bass growl a lot clearer in places!! Can't wait for the box to arrive!!

In the spots where I know to listen for Jason's bass I can actually hear it easier, good remaster keeps original intact while improving the overall experience

Cannot describe how impactful this album was. And particularly how amazing this song was and how far beyond anything that was out there. I played this album and this song until the tape cassette broke.

still no bass lol

Every time I hear this album I have to listen to it 2 times once isn't enough

Remastered? Wake me up when it gets remixed.

I can never get enough of the heavy sounds man!

The Best Band Ever. If you’re a Metallica Fan then Hit the Like!

So many years later, still so awesome.

"I'm in hell without you, cannot cope without you two." Fuck me, I love music. And Metallica

Sounds the same to me. Save your money. Still one of the greatest albums ever.

The lyrics are very personal and great but the music is just so flipping fast and heavy. I love it.

This album is so inherently good that you can’t hate it even when they totally eradicated the bass parts. And i’m a bass player yet this album is one of my favourite albums of all time.

ustedes siempre seran los maestros del thrash metal

Whenever someone negatively talks about Lars Ulrich’s skill, I tell them to listen to this song with just the drum track. Very, very impressive.

My favorite song when this album first came out 🤟

I'm one of those fans who missed the transition from 'To Live is to Die' to 'Dyers Eve' and thought the album is one track short and that 'To Live is to Die' is the longest Metallica track. I had to rewind and listen to it again to finally realize that 'Dyers Eve' plays seamlessly right after 'To Live is to Die'.
