    This is easily one of Metallica’s most underrated songs.

      @chrisjl84 5 лет назад +120

      Sorry bro, I have to disagree.... this isn't an underrated song. This song is either your a true Metallica fan, or NOT! One of the best guitar instrumentals ever written!

      chrisjl84 it is underrated ahaha. I find unless ur a musician or a full on Metallica fan. Not many people know this song or don’t appreciate it as much

    • @jaymz
      @jaymz 4 года назад +17

      this is not underrated by any standards, this instrumental and orion are praised the most by fans.

    • @PFgreenisthecolour
      @PFgreenisthecolour 4 года назад +6

      The idea of underrated is in fact the idea it’s not recognized by casual fans but then again that would apply to Orion as well and I truly appreciate good bass. Instrumentals are inherently underrated.

    Thank you friends, it happened a few years ago but seems like yesterday. Mitch was a Metallica maniac, a great drummer and a close friend. We had a practice room set up next door to my old work which we jammed these songs at ridiculous volumes everyday. Everything about this song reminds me of him and the good times we shared, my thoughts are always with Mitch and his loved ones.
    Thank you

    6:13 that's when you become a true Metallica fan. When you hear this for the first time. Most likely the best riff Metallica has ever written. I love the harmonies and the way they blend. METALLICA \m/

      I have no problem admitting that I have been brought to tears before a few times in the past, one of the most melodic and just moving songs they have ever written , I'd actually say this is not only just a song but more so a true genuine composition by pure musical genuis

    @jessewest1545 5 лет назад +92

    First off, great cover ! I've really enjoyed listening to the intricate harmonies without the backing track. Excellent work.
    This song has always intrigued me because it seems like several songs rolled into one ( I know it was an amalgamation of pieces that Cliff Burton was writing before his death) . The different parts seem to have such distinct and separate emotional values. Then it occured to me. I think Metallica may have written and arranged this song to be a musical representation of the 5 stages of grief.
    0:00 Denial
    0:58 Anger
    2:26 Negotiation
    4:23 Depression
    6:13 Acceptance
    7:25 Then it goes in to the verse and outro.
    Just a thought.

    Ooooohhhh man, it's sooooooo fucking awesome.....!!!!
    The whole song, how you played it...
    It made me almost to cry at 5:46, and it made at 6:15 when the logo appeared...
    You play it with respect and ...you feel what Metallica is. :D
    Thank you.

    @shanecountryman4026 7 лет назад +28

    When you know something deserves that something be said, but you almost don't know WHAT to say. Like now. While watching this, I thought about the time you spent working on it, your friend present in your thoughts, in your purpose, the emotions. I feel like I (us,we) have touched your pain somehow. I mourn with you. At the same time, I my jaw hits the floor again and again as behold the finest rendering I have yet seen, of a timeless and beautiful metal classic. Thank you, sir.

    @LambChopper678  8 лет назад +17

    @Amadej Raner I have a Mark V with a 2c+ setting which nails the tone but for this recording I used Bias. There's more details at the top

      @rickysobel792 8 лет назад

    • @LambChopper678
      @LambChopper678  8 лет назад +9

      I never record my guitar clean and change it later, I record it the way it sounds. To play a song for youtube with several settings in one take can be frustrating. Computer engineered tones are great but I still love the real thing. The mark V nails this tone live, but recording with a mic in the house with other people is a bit much. My wife would have the shits pretty fast

    This is such a beautiful song, hence it being my all time favourite.
    1. To live is to die (BEAUTIFUL MASTER PIECE)
    2.ride the lighting (INTRO AND SOLO are spot on)
    3.creeping death (thrash angry goodness)
    4. Frayed ends of sanity (heavy riffs oh yhh, the solo is quite good as well)
    5.fade to black (the solos just carry it, the rest is meh, unless it be higher)
    6. The god that failed (heavy as fuck and love it, and im a sucker for the solo)

    I remember buying this album and hearing this song the first time in 1989. At that point, I'd been a fan of Cliff's (and Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Testiment, Suicidal Tendencies, Prong, and so many other metal bands from that era) a few years, having just turned 15 at the time (48 now). Still to this day, metal is and always will be my favorite form of music, and influence my own playing heavily (but that's beside the point). Metal isn't just a music, it's a lifestyle, a state of consciousness, and the air that I breathe.
    This song has always been one of the my favorite Metallica songs. As much as I'm a fan of most of their library, particularly the first 5 albums, To Live Is To Die always kinda hit me close to home --and nowadays, we're seeing in mass, the costs of lies --so once again, this track takes on hardcore meaning.
    Hope this comment (5 years afterward) finds you alive and well in this ...whatever it's become. :)
