You just stood there screaming Fearing no one was listening to you They say the empty can rattles the most The sound of your voice must soothe you Hearing only what you want to hear And knowing only what you've heard You you're smothered in tragedy And you're up to save the world Misery you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery You still stood there screaming No one caring about these words you tell My friend before your voice is gone One man's fun is another's hell These times are sent to try men's souls But something's wrong with all you see You, you'll take it on all yourself Remember, misery loves company Misery you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery (my friend of misery) Misery you insist that the weight of the world Should be on your shoulders Misery there's much more to life than what you see My friend of misery You just stood there screaming, oh My friend of misery, yeah, yeah, oh
its amazing to listen to all these truely HEAVY bands pay honest tribute to metallica there heros and then see people who clearly dont get how much respect great bands like sodom dark age borknager have for metallica this is a great version
Guys stop saying is better than the original..its a very good cover but better?..No cover can be better that the original song..remember that the bands that cover other bands are doing it because they respect them for their music and not because they are trying to be better
Jimi Hendrix covering "All Along the Watchtower" completely DESTROYS Bob Dylan's version! ICS doesn't give MFOM quite that thorough an ass-kicking, but it is a damned good cover.
True, but some people might prefer a cover version to the original, even though it might not have meant to be outperform the original. It's just people's own musical taste. The respect the coverband has for the original artist doesn't have a thing to do with what people like or don't like, people just like different things.
Whatever cover you put on that list its your opinion...For example i like the Metallica version of Stone Cold Crazy more than the original by Queen..that doesn't mean it's better..it's my opinion : )
Here in the comments you can see Metallica,'s fans whom doesn't know so much about extreme metal and extreme metal fans whom doesn't give a f****k about metallica
Why isn't it just a given that a cover is a version by a band influenced by another? I mean isn't that fact enough to silence arguments? Goddamn RUclips commentors...guess I'm no better. >.
really good guys, my only complaint is that a couple of the vocals almost sounded happy.. this is definitely not a happy song, and you definitely should not sound happy singing it. other than that, good job.
"no cover can be better than the original song", bullshit. Yes they can. Some people are just more talented and can recognize the potential in a song, bettering it.
I don't think they were trying to sound just like Metallica, I think they just wanted to cover it and post it on RUclips. What's wrong with that? They can cover their song and don't have to sound exactly like them.
it´s not better than the original, but it´s a fantastic cover. Well, i belive that is one cover better tha the original, Angel of Death played by Gamma Ray is better than Thin Lizzy.No relation with Slayer´s Angel of Death.
Why would original be better. Just because it's original? What about bands covering from entirely different genre, I've never understood the bullshit about the original having to be better. This is not better though, than the original.
He blew his voice out during the black album recording and hired a professional vocal coach to help him sing more cleanly. I don’t know if you meant to include the stuff from the 80s but his aggressive approach back then was metal AF. When he learned to sing properly he also began focusing on major scales, even though the original songs were in minor keys. That’s probably why it sounds too neat.
Wow.. one of my favorites covering one of my favorites... KILLER!
Awesome cover by an awesome band. Hail Borknagar.
I think it ´s a good cover, and BORKNAGAR is an excellent band
Are you deaf? Vortex sounds nothing like this, it's vintersorg. You can easily tell, his voice is very recognizable.
Borknagar has always had good musicians. No wonder it sounds good.
You just stood there screaming
Fearing no one was listening to you
They say the empty can rattles the most
The sound of your voice must soothe you
Hearing only what you want to hear
And knowing only what you've heard
You you're smothered in tragedy
And you're up to save the world
Misery you insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery there's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
You still stood there screaming
No one caring about these words you tell
My friend before your voice is gone
One man's fun is another's hell
These times are sent to try men's souls
But something's wrong with all you see
You, you'll take it on all yourself
Remember, misery loves company
Misery you insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery there's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery (my friend of misery)
Misery you insist that the weight of the world
Should be on your shoulders
Misery there's much more to life than what you see
My friend of misery
You just stood there screaming, oh
My friend of misery, yeah, yeah, oh
This is definitely Vintersorg.
I just like the bass more in the orginal. Awesome job
~Good cover. I always like when a band can cover a song and not make it sound exactly the same, but doesn't butcher it. That's hard to do.
the best Metallica cover...
A masterpiece of metallism
Freakin' Awesome!
It is vintersorg on vocals guys :)
Amazing man
I.C.S Newsted great cover!
i like it! The bass in this song sound more at cliff than jason newsted...
leonardo pagianni Not really, he is using a fretless, is another style totally diferent.
Probably because Vortex plays bass with his fingers
@@OneTrueVikingbard I believe this is Tyr
Using his 8-string Fretless
Very, very good cover!
Good, good, good very good!!!!!
voooooh great vocal :D
Surprisingly good
Not really familiar with this band but wow, this is actually good!
the bass intro here sounds like it was played by Cliff
ICS Vortex did the bass on this version.
ICS is great musician.
красивый кавер, прекрасная работа
its amazing to listen to all these truely HEAVY bands pay honest tribute to metallica there heros and then see people who clearly dont get how much respect great bands like sodom dark age borknager have for metallica this is a great version
excelent!
Epic!
It's not just a youtube cover. It's on a 20th year tribute to the black album.
vintersorg & vortex
A very well done cover ... 🚬
damn the solo was orgasmic ! beautiful cover
The solo is actually the worst...
Dude....I thought this was James!? Wow!
DAT BASS
Borknallica..........ok i am sorry :P

I think I just had an eargasm

i could say...better than the original
Good cover but definitly not better than original !
a lot of songs on this tribute album are better than the original
Oh come on ! Stop this ridiculous Metallica bashing, you are pathetic !
Archangel Raziël the black album was the last metallica record i like, after that, idk what to say
true!
Buen cover! 666!
yeah, that's because its Vintersorg (Andreas Hedlund) singing. Vortex is just doing backing vocals on the chorus
4 me nothing beats the original though this cover was really great..
I wonder if Vortex used a pick on this? His bass playing has never sounded so prevalent in the mix.
EmpiricMetulz black metal generally isn’t very bass-heavy, and that’s the genre Vortex has been most prolific in.
When they were Metallica and not just Lica like now ;)
the double bass sounds like and justice for all ...
agree wit u
While I agree that the original better, bands can make better versions of a song. This has been done countless times.
Case in point? Loverman.
Please don't hate me but The Lead singer sounds Like Micheal Paulson
BORKNAGAR 🇳🇴
@queenmcsleaze yes that is Vintersorg.
I love Metallica but this is better i think
Whatever cover you put on that list its your opinion...For example i like the Metallica version of Stone Cold Crazy more than the original by Queen..that doesn't mean it's better..it's my opinion : )
no cover will ever be better than the original.
It doesn't mean a cover can't be better than original.
both Vintersorg and ICS own Hetfield at vocals
Here in the comments you can see Metallica,'s fans whom doesn't know so much about extreme metal and extreme metal fans whom doesn't give a f****k about metallica
Who sings this one? Lars or Vortex? It doesn't sound like Vintersorg, so I didn't include him.
Why isn't it just a given that a cover is a version by a band influenced by another? I mean isn't that fact enough to silence arguments? Goddamn RUclips commentors...guess I'm no better. >.
@vrx14 It's a good cover, but better than Metallica's version? No way, the James voice fits better
they can't make a cover of KIRK's guitar solo !!!!!
I like vortex voice but he should had put more anger to it.
I like Dark Tranquility cover of this song better.
This is vintersorg singing not vortex
Jens destroyed Kirk at soloing on his own song.
Naturally. Did you expect anything else?
Tell that to the Slade and The Shangri-Las. They will surely appreciate it.
really good guys, my only complaint is that a couple of the vocals almost sounded happy.. this is definitely not a happy song, and you definitely should not sound happy singing it. other than that, good job.
Not gonna hate but no one can come close to metallica but they tried and i respect that
geiles lied..^^
true enough but sometimes it actually does work out better lol cant say for this one cuz i never heard the original
Sounds like volbeat
Is ICS Vortex their bass member?
pedals?
It's definately Vintersorg that sings this banana...
i'm late but it's VINTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
pretty sure this is tyr on his fretless 6string bass not simen this is the empiricism era lineup
This song was released during the production of Urd (Vintersorg, Vortex, Lars, Øystein, Jens and Kinkade)
"no cover can be better than the original song", bullshit. Yes they can. Some people are just more talented and can recognize the potential in a song, bettering it.
I don't think they were trying to sound just like Metallica, I think they just wanted to cover it and post it on RUclips. What's wrong with that? They can cover their song and don't have to sound exactly like them.
of course, but for you.
Damn, they really fucked up Jame's solo.
Is it just me ..or is there a very strange hickup at 1:37 ?
it´s not better than the original, but it´s a fantastic cover.
Well, i belive that is one cover better tha the original, Angel of Death played by Gamma Ray is better than Thin Lizzy.No relation with Slayer´s Angel of Death.
Jesús salva!!
not even for a second mate....good cover..but just that..a cover, never replace the original by a cover. The original is a c-l-a-s-s-i-c...
this is my least favourite metallica album but this is a good cover
I have never heard the original, but I don't want to. It'll ruin the cover. :)
Original is better. The Black Album changed the world
It's a great cover. I really liked. But, I don't think it's better than the original.
only time metallica has sounded awesome...bought to you by Borkgagar
The only time metallica sounded awesome? You must not be a fan of heavy metal...
It sounds more Lars-ish to me.
This is all subjetctive, for me and a lot of guys this cover is better than the original. Sorry, there's no argument against musical preferences.
This cover is different... But definetely not better.
nope... just vintersorg...
I'm pretty sure it's Vortex who is singing.
Way better than the original even though the Black album was already terrible.
Why would original be better. Just because it's original? What about bands covering from entirely different genre, I've never understood the bullshit about the original having to be better. This is not better though, than the original.
to be fair, any cover of a Bob Dylan song is better than the original......
Hetfield's singing is way too tidy and neat for Metallica's type of metal.
He blew his voice out during the black album recording and hired a professional vocal coach to help him sing more cleanly. I don’t know if you meant to include the stuff from the 80s but his aggressive approach back then was metal AF. When he learned to sing properly he also began focusing on major scales, even though the original songs were in minor keys. That’s probably why it sounds too neat.
No cover can be better than the original? BULLSHIT.
Look at Nazareth - Love Hurts and Metallica - Loverman.
dark tranquilty s cover is much better
agreed
around 1:40 mexicans came to mind. if this didnt have that and had some better vocal strength it would be much more enjoyable
Just what I was saying, but sorry, Nick Cave is better than the metallica version :)
The cover as cover, correct, although more worse than the original. Metallica is unigue.
I am sorry I, but do not share your point of view.
Sorry, but that voice does not reach the feet of Hetfield
