License This Song 

• Late at night all systems go
  You have come to see the show
  We do our best you're the rest
  You make it real you know
  There is a feeling deep inside
  That drives you fuckin' mad
  A feeling of a hammerhead
  You need it oh so bad
  
  Adrenaline starts to flow
  You're thrashing all around
  Acting like a maniac
  Whiplash
  
  Bang your head against the stage
  Like you never did before
  Make it ring make it bleed
  Make it really sore
  In a frenzied madness with your leather and your spikes
  Heads are bobbing all around
  It is hot as hell tonight
  
  Adrenaline starts to flow
  You're thrashing all around
  Acting like a maniac
  Whiplash
  
  Here on the stage the marshal noise is piercing through your ears
  It kicks your ass kick your face, exploding feeling nears
  Now is the time to let it rip to let it fuckin' loose
  We are gathered here to be with you
  'Cause this is what we choose
  
  Adrenaline starts to flow
  You're thrashing all around
  Acting like a maniac
  
  Here we go
  
  Whiplash
  
  The show is through the metal is gone
  It is time to hit the road
  Another town another gig
  Again we will explode
  Hotel rooms and motorways
  Life out here is raw
  But we will never stop we will never quit 'cause we are Metallica
  
  Adrenaline starts to flow
  You're thrashing all around
  Acting like a maniac Writer/s: James Alan Hetfield, Lars Ulrich

• O from Outer SpaceNever thought Metallica could be so trashy, may be because the only song I'm familiar with is the "Nothing else matters?"
• Acidiumsix from East Bay CalifornicaterThe songs meaning is obvious... I really think listing the dialogue of a live performance as being the lyrics to the song is about as lame as it gets man! I'm embarrassed for the person who set that up... funny!
• Matt from Bakersfield, CaI heard Motorhead cover this song. The way they play it its sounds like they made this song themselves. It sounds like their songs. Their cover is awesome.
• Matt from Bakersfield, CaWhiplash is a awesome tune to listen to every time it comes on. this song is so fast and head bangingly great that it's impossible not to bang your head slightly. even if you didn't mean to do it.
  
• Luke from Dayton, Ohi think this song is metallica's 'signiture' song that defines them the most. Plus its just really freakin awesome.
• Jason from Denver, CoThis is the first song I ever heard from metallica.The first time I heard was on a radio station called Z-ROCK, Anyone remember Z-ROCK??
