Like... HOW? How the hell can you hear these mixes before sitting down to blend them? Never in a thousand years would I imagine a freakin' Judas Priest throwdown would be the perfect backing track for James Brown - but here we are, and it's GLORIOUS.
I’m a product of the 1960’s grew up with some JB soul, & loved the JP heavy metal years growing up. Absolutely magnificent job mixing these two. “Go on; get up, get get up, Get on up!” “The way I like it, it’s the way it is; I’ve got mine, don’t worry bout’ his! “ Luv it!
Some people need glasses to see. Some people have 20/20 vision. Bill's vision is so spectacular he can clearly see things that span miles and generations. Another masterpiece from the musical wizard.
One of my greatest enjoyments in life is the fact that soul, R&B, rock, blues, jazz, metal, hip-hop, and many more styles of music all share a common heritage. Such disparate genres blend so well into each other, because they originated long ago from the same place! Music is the universal language.
We expect to encounter wonder and joy in Bill's mashups. What takes this mashup to yet another level is the addition of the guitar solos by Kirk Hammett and Marty Friedman, that perfectly and logically follow Glenn Tipton's wailing. Way to go Bill and thanks for sharing.
This is fantastic, but the way the music videos are cut together is phenomenal. I especially love Rob Halford working as the Hype Man for James and Bobby; you edited it to have him shout 'Get Up' perfectly each and every time.
Absolute masterpiece! Bill is the midas of mashups - everything he touches, turns to gold. Whenever you think: those songs can't get any better, Bill comes around!
I cannot believe how well these mash together. It is actually incredible. On a side note, one aspect of the mashups that I love is how it feels like two different worlds and cultures coming together in unity and leaving behind all the baggage and it's just purely about the music. Like we may all be different but at the end of the day, we're all just human beings that love to jam! Music cuts barriers, man. I say it all the time. It's real powerful shit.
Or perhaps we can all just give up on the discussion because it's just exhausting at this point and it does not drive our individual lives. It only comes into play with our collective identity.
This is an absolute masterpiece. Not only for the quality, but your ability to hear the similarities in two completely different songs and blend them together is absolute artistry inspired by a divine muse. I'm amazed. Literally.
These need to be submitted to the National Archive - in fact any national archive! The combination elevates both source songs to a new level of enjoyment.
Anyone paying attention, though.. c'mon, Bootsy Collins spent time as James Brown's bassist. A legend learning from another legend.. all things start somewhere.
I think that Bill has just hit another level with this one. James Browns spoken intro with Priest then kicking in is just awesome. The melding in of the solos is flawless. This is an epic mashup.
I was sitting here, at 2:00 am, watching these videos you've made and laughing my head off...but then this came on...THIS song made my jaw hang limply from the sheer awe I felt while listening to it. You have a talent for combining the unlikeliest of songs unlike I've ever seen or heard; keep up the amazing work - I'll be making sure to follow your channel for as long as it exists. And yeah, I'd sign a petition to get this stuff on Spotify asap!
I have all your content on a thumb drive just in case these vanish. My life wouldn't be complete and I'd be lost with out these fantastic mash ups. Your work is far beyond anyone else, thank you so much!!
Halford has been doing those for years before this album, too. Not as far back as Little Richard though. Little Richard, oddly enough, claims he isn't gay anymore
@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 BS is when it became official, but I believe the first two real metal songs are In-A-Gadda-Da-Diva and I Want You (She's So Heavy). I know I am weird and think the Beatles are overrated but this is their masterpiece.
@@whom382 “I Want You” is the blues, granted the blues is the foundation of metal however the song itself is just the blues it’s lyrics are simple and they are sang with emotion, 2 key factors in a blues song. It’s in 4/4 with a simple smooth drum beat and breezy loose guitar playing, all distinct to the blues. Metal involves very tight guitar playing and the drumming is very hard and heavy the polar opposite of blues playing even if the riffs and scales are the same or close to the same. The song is still a fine song and it is one of the better Beatles songs imo however and I’m not trying to discredit it as being a good song
@@nbkawtgnobody metal wasn’t influenced by hard rock, it was created along side it, both share R&B influence, hard rock dabbled more into other forms of music more so than metal did, it also had more suggestive lyrics and guitar focused soloing. Metal was about sending a message typically a message of warning of caution, wasn’t all about making love and drugs. Best example of how the two are different is Led Zepplin is hard rock Black Sabbath is Metal. You listen to Lee Zepplin and you want to party with your girlfriend, you listen to Black Sabbath and you want to hide in a bunker under your house and buy a gun because “they” are coming.
It can't be just me wanting to see and hear more mashup videos like this.I know I can't be the only one feeling this way.Thanks BILL for this post man.
That is a masterpiece, Mr McLintock. It's been in my life for a while now, and it sits right next to my heart and soul, and not too far away from my liver. 💜✨💖
Where was this in my beloved 1980's! The Ebony and Ivory of music genres. Growing up listening to Soul music at home and Rock only on radio, once MTV and my secondary school days met, I began to love Metal also. The fusion of the two is kind of me in a nutshell! Because I love all kinds of music.
@@wildwoodandonyx For me, the tracks that made the Soul Metal fusion concept actually were a Rap/Metal thing first. AC/DC's song "Back In Black" while it is a Metal track, unlike Bon Scott, Brian Johnson I initially thought he was mostly shouting the lyrics. Rapping if you will. Then came VH's cover of "Dancing In The Streets", and oddly enough The Bulletboys cover of the O'Jay's "For The Love Of Money." I guess because as a musician and becsme a music manic who listens to everything, the fusion of genres has always interested me. Things really exploded transposing guitar instrumentals and Rock solos for my alto sax also secondary school and university. MTV and being exposed to new people of different backgrounds, races, cultures while studying music at university helped which led to my working in Music Retail for 30 years. Numerous concerts, clinics, and music and instrument demonstrations by Tony MacAlpine, Paul Gilbert, Chris Impelleteri, and others wizards have all been blessings.
Soul Metal needs to be a thing
Fishbone, Living Colour, 24/7 Spyz...
Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) + Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple) sessions and Sabbath's Seventh Star
A thang…
Ever heard of Jimi Hendrix?
It is, now!
INCREDIBLE. We need a Spotify channel for Bill’s stuff.
I liked your comment even though I don't do spotify, . Bill's work is that awesome and should be available everywhere.
that's why I use youtube music
RUclips is 👑
Agreed
How the heck does he get the stems for all these songs? Amazing.
It's official: James Brown and Bobby Byrd are my favorite heavy metal singers.
Marvin Gaye is my other favorite heavy metal singer.
😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅
There is a level of mastery that’s at play here that isn’t being appreciated enough.
I appreciate it. It's fantastic. All the bands and artists, he's shown thorough appreciation, and breathed new life into all.
Wow, perfect timing… everything! Very talented mash! Or should I say mosh?
@@kimbee1964 classs🤘🤘🤘
Totally agree. The way JB's vocals still work over the key changes blows my mind.
Pretty cool eh?
Like... HOW? How the hell can you hear these mixes before sitting down to blend them? Never in a thousand years would I imagine a freakin' Judas Priest throwdown would be the perfect backing track for James Brown - but here we are, and it's GLORIOUS.
Look up his b-52 and slayer mashups lol those are glorious
@@widdershins5383 Gloriously funny and seriously inventive at the same time
Yas!
I mean heavy metal has blues at its roots, although never thought would work so well either haha
Check out his Slayer and Katrina and the Waves including Satriani solo mashup of Chemical Warfare.
I’m a product of the 1960’s grew up with some JB soul, & loved the JP heavy metal years growing up. Absolutely magnificent job mixing these two. “Go on; get up, get get up, Get on up!” “The way I like it, it’s the way it is; I’ve got mine, don’t worry bout’ his! “ Luv it!
As a fan of Judas Priest and JB this is phenomenal!
It's bloody brilliant!
Yes absolutely
If a band performed a bunch of these mixes and toured I would buy a ticket in a minute!!!
What’s this “and” business? 😮
Who knew JB and Rick James would have been INSANE metal leads. We now know, thanks to Bill.
The woman dancing at the top of the stage just makes the whole vibe work. Those legs!!
Yes
Not even in tact.
Cocaine hell of a drug
I know right!!
Perfectly completes the song. Anyone knows who's she?
My thoughts exactly. :D
As a big fan of both Brown and Priest, I truly dig this!
I would think it’s only one band.. Run DMC & Aerosmith eat your heart out
I'm telling my kids this was the original
And on the 8th day, Bill McClintock created "Soul Metal".
Amazing!
And the Lord spoke unto them saying it was good,rocking good 🙏
Let there be SOUL METAL,
& it was very good🤘🏾.
That Electric Creeping Tornado solo was great
1:48
Killer dude
This is just way to good
That solo section was masterfully blended to seamless perfection! Top notch representation of metal shredding as well, excellent choices.
Some people need glasses to see. Some people have 20/20 vision. Bill's vision is so spectacular he can clearly see things that span miles and generations. Another masterpiece from the musical wizard.
He looks into the multiverse and plucks music from the best timelines.
The triple guitar solo is just unbelievable, it's the sign of a Genius at work.
Catfish Collins was indeed a genius guitarist.
James has never rocked so hard!
Guest rockstar Marty Friedman on guitar. Well done, Bill. Amazing!
And Kirk Hammet
@@daveg4236 oooohhh...yeeeaaahhh...😃
Playing the best Megadeth solo there is! One of the best metal solos even. In my humble opinion, of course.
At this point, Bill is so far ahead of any other mashup artist he's lapping the competition.
One of my greatest enjoyments in life is the fact that soul, R&B, rock, blues, jazz, metal, hip-hop, and many more styles of music all share a common heritage. Such disparate genres blend so well into each other, because they originated long ago from the same place! Music is the universal language.
the blues. So many British metal bands started as bluesies. Black Sabbath comes to mind
Another soul metal masterpiece from Bill 🔥
Well...Both Soul and Rock and Roll were born out of Rhythm and Blues and Gospel.
Love the new genre soul metal!
@@SteeeeveC Not entirely new, but Goatsnake is the only actual soul metal band that comes to mind. We need more! Thanks Bill!
Soul metal is basically Bill's genre.
Check out the first releases from Vintage Trouble ruclips.net/video/Fam8cJw-IVg/видео.html
Rob Halford truly is the James Brown of metal. So this is legit and makes complete sense.
But Tom G. Warrior has all the great, "Ugh", "Ungh" and "Ooooooh" down.
Wait, James Brown gay too?
@@BlueAxeRacer 😅😅😅👍
All these mixes are fantastic, but I’ve noticed anything mixed with Judas Priest is absolute gold.
You could say the same thing about James Brown.
Never really listened to much Judas Priest back in their day..having heard them on this channel I now appreciate how good they were.
This mash up is just too damn perfect. I'm probably going to be rocking it all day.
Yeah I've had it on repeat all morning :D
Bootsy Collins digs it too, so much he shared this on his fb page yesterday!!
@@Dinosaur761
For real?! That's fantastic!
You never cease to amaze me Bill.

The Blues is smiling today - shes so happy to see all her children and grandchildren singing and playing together! Fantastic mashup!
Bill never ceases to amaze me. This dude is a genre unto himself. This blends up so well. Bill. You are definitely king of mashups brother. 🙏🏽
Agree. I play in a hobby cover band but I swear I would like to start playing some of his mixes
@@fredstriker2042 haha! Me too. I could imagine they'd go down great in front of an audience.
@@Blackf1ngers 💯 agree!
I agree. Bill is the Godfather of Soul Metal.
Absolutely brilliant as usual..genius🤣🤘🤘🤘
Excellent mash up. I seriously hope Priest fans check out more James Brown and vice versa. Brilliant musicians, both of them.
I am fan of both of them
@@sandwich-breath No one said that.
@@louv5166 no worries. I deleted my comment
Love both of them
Dude, your BPM analyzer must be SPOT ON to be able to blend these songs so seamlessly. Keep doing what you're doing!
We expect to encounter wonder and joy in Bill's mashups. What takes this mashup to yet another level is the addition of the guitar solos by Kirk Hammett and Marty Friedman, that perfectly and logically follow Glenn Tipton's wailing. Way to go Bill and thanks for sharing.
The solos of Glenn, Kirk & Marty blended together so perfectly! Bill really is a genius. The "Mashup King" of YT. No, the world. 👑
Glenn is their daddy, just like James is Robs old man😎
The cuts between the different guitar solos are absolutely seamless
Marty Friedman was a surprise!
This is fantastic, but the way the music videos are cut together is phenomenal. I especially love Rob Halford working as the Hype Man for James and Bobby; you edited it to have him shout 'Get Up' perfectly each and every time.
If this isn't award-winning content, nothing is!! Absolutely AMAZING!
Perfection
Absolute masterpiece! Bill is the midas of mashups - everything he touches, turns to gold. Whenever you think: those songs can't get any better, Bill comes around!
A perfect fusion ,well done

It's not just the music that fits like a glove. The choreography is also phenomenal
Love this, even the lyrics of “Sex Machine” go so well with KK Downing and Glenn Tipton’s riffs
Turbo Lover at work
@@VortechBandElectric Eye, actually
I agree...I'm in awe of how both lyrics and power riffs blend into a perfect song!
This was really good. And by "really good" I mean spectacular. This should win some kind of award.
These need to be submitted to the National Archive - in fact any national archive!
The combination elevates both source songs to a new level of enjoyment.
I agree. More people should be know these creations.
This Judas Priest fan approves! Love the guest appearances.
The editing at 2:27 when he throws it back to the top rift... damn that's good!
Most people don't realize that James Brown went really hard.
JB was FUNKY..and he drilled his band to know the 4/4 groove, using subtle signals to hit the bridge or chorus..
Alpha male funkmaster..
Anyone paying attention, though.. c'mon, Bootsy Collins spent time as James Brown's bassist. A legend learning from another legend.. all things start somewhere.
Wild man of rock and roll
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
I really appreciate how you *sneak in* extra surprise artists into the videos, like Hammet and Friedman in this solo 🤘
I don't know how many more of these I can watch. They're so amazing I feel like my chest is going to burst open.
Been listening to this song for 40 years. The chorus will never be the same from this point forward.
You mean Judas Priest's song or James Brown's?
@kamilziemian995 Priest. Obviously James Brown for much longer.
Tight as af! And not just simply being in key, but the way the 2 originals overlay and interact creating new harmonies is absolutely masterful!
Not just musically, but also lyrically, when someone sings a lyrical phrase and another sings a response to it. So brilliant.
As a Judas Priest fan I absolutely love this. Excellent mix. Much respect to James Brown and Judas Priest.
Heavy funk is the genre we didn't know we needed. Thank you for your genius. Best mashup yet. Long live Judas Brown!
You mean Funk Rock😜
@@ghost500e You mean Soul Metal
Living Colour's Vivid album captures this vibe pretty well!
Or James Priest.
Ever heard about Funk Metal?
I can't believe how good this is. It matches seamlessly
I find it incredible how you fuse these songs together. Phenomenal.
That was amazing!
I hope the lads from Priest hear this. I reckon they'd love it.
Would love to hear their thoughts on it🤣🤣🤘🤘🤘
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!
Mashterpiece.
Brilliant!
This is so bad ass I can't even keep it together. Awesome mash up!
Dude you're a genius! A round of applause to you and thank you for the incredible work! It's so entertaining and artistically brilliant!
This is among my top 5 favorites from Bill! The call and response from Brown & Byrd with Judas Priest music is killer!

Im so glad I found this page! I listen to all genres of music and this proves what I always believed: Music knows no boundaries!✊🏿
What an incredible band! James Brown, the Priest, Kirk and Marty too! Jeeeeez
This is insane. Possibly the most impressive mash up I’ve seen. Love the guest solo’s!
Love the interplay of footage on the James Brown "Get On Up" to Halford's input...really cool...works a treat!.
I have all your content on a thumb drive just in case these vanish. My life wouldn't be complete and I'd be lost with out these fantastic mash ups. Your work is far beyond anyone else, thank you so much!!
You are also da man.
UPDATE: Just noticed Big Bill has a patreon. I'll def be donating ❤️
James was doing those high pitched Metal screams way before anyone else in Rock picked it up 🤘🤘🤘
And Little Richard
Yup.
He sho’ was!
Halford is a Fan of both😂😂😂
Halford has been doing those for years before this album, too. Not as far back as Little Richard though. Little Richard, oddly enough, claims he isn't gay anymore
James Brown probably never could have imagined the remixed videos he would star in! ( Impressive) !!🔥🔥
Judas Priest probably thinks the same about James Brown🤘🤘🤘
These Judas Priest mashups are always amazing! Crazy good!
This is the definition of perfection.
This fucking SLAPS! I was unaware that I needed this in my life, but I am happy to make that discovery! Nice job!!!
Bill is saving Rock and Roll, seriously. This song is completely perfect
Crazy how similar the vocal pattern is on the bridge before the solos to the Priest song. Awesome
PERFECT!
WoW! That's one of the best mashups yet! Who knew?! Had me smiling at how one of my favorite rock tunes back in the day had so much soul! Well played!
Bill, more & more you're making believe James Brown was the father of heavy metal...just with an R&B sound. Another KILLER mashup 🤘😆🤘
Certainly was a progenitor that laid the blocks but Black Sabbath took all the pieces and made it work, making Sabbath the original heavy metal band

The manipulation and push/pull of the timings on the vocal is very, very clever. Another gem sir.
Watching James Brown and his band dance to the Tornado of Souls guitar solo makes me smile every time.
Uncle Bill does it again. He makes the unthinkable an incredible reality. Kudos for his undeniable creativity!
James Brown is metal af.
This has to be the best mash up I ever, ever seen !!!!
WOW!!! Speechless, jaw dropping. No words to explain the awesomeness......

It can't be just me wanting to see and hear more mashup videos like this.I know I can't be the only one feeling this way.Thanks BILL for this post man.
All these great mash-ups just prove the blues musical roots of all these genres.
no.. unless you can back that up with statistics. I say it all comes from cave drumming and lutes...
It's all modal for the most part, that definitely comes from the blues
That is a masterpiece, Mr McLintock. It's been in my life for a while now, and it sits right next to my heart and soul, and not too far away from my liver.

Bill doesn't have a bag, he has a sac magique.
Fantastic! I've been listening to mashups for over a decade now, and Bill, yours are the best I've ever heard. Thank you.

Bill you’re a genius bringing joy to many fans of all types of music. Never stop!!
This worked out really well. Great job.
Simply sensational! Perhaps the most audacious mashup ever made. how can you see such connections!? - Congratulations!
The most audacious thing is still "Bangles of Death"
Que belleza. Que alguien le dé un nobel de la música a este hombre. 🥳
By the thumbnail I thought, this will be dumb... Ioved it! Well done!
