That came outta nowhere when I saw them lol I was like “Alright what song are they gonna do next?” like it was gonna be normal. Once that opening chord was played I immediately jumped in the moshpit that spontaneously appeared in front of me
@@oldmatevb totally agree. James had a vision for what he wanted his guitar tone to sound like. Bob Rock is a Master of sonics and sound, and was able to help James get the tone that he had in his head onto the album.
James Eaton yea I agree I mean James tone has been monstrous since master, but justice had (IMO) more brutal tone then the black album. I really think bob just helped with creative direction asking James if he would want to try that riff with another guitar ect stuff like that James layered what like 8 something guitar tracks on sad but true that’s incredible. I think the production of that black album has a a lot to do with it aswell just booming
@@james_d_eaton James and Lars said they listened to the intro to "Dr Feelgood" and and they wanted that big, crushing sound, Bob Rock really brought out everything from them during the album, its still one of the best sounding records ever made
@@oldmatevb No it wasn't. James isn't an engineer, and a recorded tone is more than just dialing in the controls on an amp. The tone on this album was a blend of Mesa and Marshall amps slaved to each other and then processed with a mixing desk after careful mic positions on the cabinet. Bob Rock was absolutely the guy who made this happen.
This was one of the more confusing songs to play when I was just starting out. Usually Metallica songs will follow some sort of pattern in the verses as they do the opening of the song, but this one was all over the place. Which is why it's one of my favorites to play.
I once got close to this TICCNES by layering 10 tracks with 2 amplifiers and 2 cabinets. It sounded amazing but it takes a lot of time and patience to do.
@@kristianbalusik8872 Check and see if you can raise your gain try to use the heavy gate it's on 94 I think we have the same amp probably the same presets
No i don't think so. Tony Iommi has a style of his own and I won't think this riff will get near it. He does wish to write Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, which again is kinda downtuned to D, even though its DADGAD.
It’s actually a whole bunch of overdubs using a few different amps and a baritone guitar. Underneath the main guitar, there’s a baritone track that’s tuned down a full octave which is what gives it that super heavy low tonality🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
1:21 sounds hauntingly good and it sounds so powerful and then 2:01 sounds so impactful and heavy asf and that’s what i love about the entire song and album
@@chrisdawson6156 depends on what album we’re talking about. if we’re talking about the black album, it’s gotta be of wolf and man or don’t tread on me orrr the god that failed. 👍
You people do realize this is about 4 to 5 tracks put together at the same time? :P You will never get this sound out of one guitar. You need 4 different recordings playing at the same time (multiplying one track over and over doesn't work you have to record it 4 times) .
HLM MM Nope, 29 in a song. I think it was To Live is to Die, which has rhythm guitar, Kirk's leads, James' lead, acoustic guitar, and clean electric. It would add up.
You can almost hear James letting some unwanted noise through at times, especially during the verse riff. Maybe that just contributes to the "more human" quality present in the black album like Lars mentioned on A Year and a Half in the Life.
Luukeksi FrozenHillbillyEurotrash Could be. You never know how many other times this was layered after the left/right/center tracks. I still don't know whether this was played on the Mark IV or the IIC+. So friggin' heavy. \m/
following the time, only master of puppets is heavier than so far so good so what. Rest is pop music compared to megadeth. I love metallica, even more than megadeth. But there is no fucking way their are heavier than megadeth.
Yooo I just heard something never heard before - nothin crazy but on the greatest part at 1:42 there is a slight slide down to the final open power chord from around the 12th low E string give or take.
straightupballin3 The picture shows James because he does the rhythm of the song which is most of the song. (James' rhythm goes on in the background of the solos but that's in another track)
***** Is it? I was under the impression that until Load, the only guitars Kirk recorded were the solos. While he contributed in the making of riffs too, all the guitars in studio was recorded by James, except for the solos.

Came here for 1 thing: rhythm guitar @chorus. I love Kirk’s part there, but I wanted to hear clearly what James was doing in the pre-chorus, “I’m your dream...” that’s the most complicated part to hear in the mix.
Kirk didn't play any rhythm tracks at all. But maybe you mean like his actual tone he likes for himself, I stand corrected. Kirk likes a lot less gain on shit, treble kinda high.

@Actually Cyborg Noodle is a Bae I do like both bands. I'm just pointing the most impressive characteristics of them
Geraldo Rodriguew And Justice is pretty complex
Damn! That guitar tone is monster! I'm not sure why Bob Rock gets so much hate. The guy brought a new focus on tone, and sonics to Metallica.
It was James that brought the tone to Metallica

Literally the heaviest G chord ever
D chord

Nvm I was thinking of after the pause.
meshuggah did did it heavier and they tuned up :P

Love the riff during the chorus.
Me too
It’s so cool
i also love riff during the verse.
Well played 👏👏
Too bad you can't hear the rhythm guitar.
1:41 that shit just before going back to the main riff is the best thing ever.
this shit is the definition of " heavy shit "
Metallicas best tone they've ever had.
Coltallic
better than justice
Infinity nah. Justice had the best chug sound
Ya man Coltallic Doesn't know what hes talking about !
Starman Tumbleweed
this tone could actually be heard live compared to justice. justice tone live will not be heard compared to drums and bass.
Justice tone was overrated. And honestly, the Black tone and Justice tone are actually really similar. Just Black had a lot more mids.
2:00 - THAT PICK NOISE
I've been bored of Sad for so long, live or studio...but hearing the guitar track isolated brought the love back. SO. DAMN. CRUNCHY. chug is life
You must be a road dog like me. Haha.
So heavy this could cure cancer.
J Stone Pretty sure It'd crush the patient too
Painkiller too
@@aydenbredenkamp9499 oof
This could give cancer TO cancer.
Or bend the horizon
Damn I wish the rythm chorus guitar was included :(((
It’s in the vocal track and the uploaded forgot/didn’t do it
I've never noticed how brutal 1:40 sounds
My favorite part of the whole guitar track.
That part is fucking bludgeoning
That fucking slide
Got a sick groove to it
It’s so sick
That james' entrance at 1:40 is magnificent
that'a masterpiece, my favorite part

I once got close to this TICCNES by layering 10 tracks with 2 amplifiers and 2 cabinets. It sounded amazing but it takes a lot of time and patience to do.
It was 8 tracks for sad but true 🤭
I would give anything to be able to chug the open D string with this tone for ten seconds
Get an Ibanez or a Schecter and a marshal code 50 amp TURN THAT BASS UP and use a heavy gate and boom you got it

To get this sound they also used a baritone guitar tuned down to an octave below the riff the make it heavier
1:00 Greatest Guitar Sound in The Music History!
It's missing the background riff of James's guitar during solo. That riff is epic.
Even Tony Iommi is like " Damn....I wish I had written that one.."
Just.....no,into the void is a kilometer ahead of sad but true. When u blink iommi has made a new riff
Geraldo Rodriguew lol someone is a fan of Iommi
No i don't think so. Tony Iommi has a style of his own and I won't think this riff will get near it. He does wish to write Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, which again is kinda downtuned to D, even though its DADGAD.

Yeah, but it's actually overdubed onto the bass track, so you can't hear it on this video (the guitar track)
I can almost "hear" the drum track in this song, its so awesome
1:21 sounds hauntingly good and it sounds so powerful
and then 2:01 sounds so impactful and heavy asf and that’s what i love about the entire song and album
Hi Natalie what's your favourite song
@@chrisdawson6156 depends on what album we’re talking about. if we’re talking about the black album, it’s gotta be of wolf and man or don’t tread on me orrr the god that failed. 👍
1:40 rhythmically that's just.... hhnnnnnnnngg. goddamnit.
lmfao you mad
Shallex he’s mad. It’s funny
It is weird, I think Lars was always up for weird offbeats like that and of course James was always up for it too
Who else heard Lars' drums in the background?
You can hear crashes
It makes it spooky
I think its the metronome
Tom Lessmann don’t quote me but I _think_ they only ever used a metro for For Whom The Bell but idk
Aaro Saunamäki yeah okay

woow .. tht's too much!
but in the end... the final sound is killer!, I fkn' ♥ this crunchy stuff! :'(
***** Some bands (mostly new djent and technical and avant-garde) use 8 tracks on album xD
***** I remember hearing one of the songs from Justice had 29 guitars on it.
Reece113 that's bullshit :D the maximum they did at the same time was 7
HLM MM Nope, 29 in a song. I think it was To Live is to Die, which has rhythm guitar, Kirk's leads, James' lead, acoustic guitar, and clean electric. It would add up.
Perfect, the guitar track and the photo.
There chugs are next level of power
I love how the most replayed part is the abosolute sickest sounding rhythm part of the whole song
I looooveee this crunchy feeling I can almost cry !! =´(
Long live palm muting!!
\m/
Even when I really don't like this song, I'm beginning to like it because of listening just to the guitars. They sound amazing.
That ambient in chorus is awesome
Love, LOve, LOVE these guitar track only RUclips posts! Man, the CRUNCH of these chords is beyond belief when they aren't muffled by drums and bass.
This is one of the best examples of where bass proves that it's just as important to a song.
The heaviest riff in the history of mankind
kalebpost20 manUNkind you mean
You're kidding...
kalebpost20 - Don't discount the massive fucking heaviness of the main riff in "The Thing That Should Not Be" and, in later years, "Minus Human."
I dunno, Overkill's Skullcrusher is right up there.
HAhAH... no

Yes he used it as a background for the bass track. Listen to the bass only you can hear it.
I wonder how this would sound like with Kirk's tone as the main track
Kirk didn't play any rhythm tracks at all. But maybe you mean like his actual tone he likes for himself, I stand corrected. Kirk likes a lot less gain on shit, treble kinda high.
No, I mean his actual rhythm tone
+Silvano Schwetscher Yeah I guessed since James always had that tone with the extra "punch" in it
+Silvano Schwetscher Yeah I know about that. Just asking since Kirk has a weeker tone than James, how different would it sonically sound
@@lhuerta2010 live Kirk uses mpre mids so he kibda drowns out James
