actually it's even crazier. Exhumed archive demo tapes reveal that most of the music for To Live Is To Die was written as early as 1986, if not even before that. So they were even younger than that.
Cliff used to LOVE classical music, I feel like Cliff would have loved to hear this. This is an absolutely amazing piece of art. Cliff would be proud! R.I.P
4:40 makes you think about Cliff ... makes you wanna weep like a little baby ... makes you feel guilty for all the shit you've done in your life, realizing that life is too damn short ... makes you stronger at the same time ... makes you feel as if you had a hole in your soul, as if something is missing .. for way too long ... makes you realize you've been searching something your whole life, which you still havent found ... makes you feel as if you've lost a very close friend and brother ... now imagine was james, lars and kirk must've felt when they actually lost Cliff
I was disappointed in the intro because I mean you can find the Mel Bay book with the exact notes they were playing even for a single guitar version on acoustic yet they were just grazing the cords and not ringing through the notes or playing the entire cord listen to the intro it was very very bad and could have been done way better. The notes simply weren't fully played they were just grazed over I can't believe it yeah it sounded similar because it was the same chords but not even close to the exact quality Metallica did and it really isn't that hard all you have to do is play the full bar and let it ring through properly two guitars can do it so easy like I said Mel Bay has the original sheet music and tablets her to follow and recreate the intro to a T I did in high school with my friend. This just grazed over it like a cover band quickly trying to get it over with. @4:40 my personal favorite part he didn't even play it accurately he just played similar sounding notes in the right chords A minor G minor a minor F major it wasn't the exact same James Hetfield actually played with his fingers. Now I get adding all the strings and stuff to make it pretty is totally okay but the guitar specially on a solo moment should literally play the exact same song not just graze over something similar
You all should be very proud of yourselves I’m a HUGE Metallica fan and this video BLEW ME AWAY!!!! OUTSTANDING!!!! Metallica should be sent this video And I’m gonna start crying but Cliff Burton would be so proud of you all ❤️❤️wooow 🤘🏼🏴☠️⚡️🎼🎶🎸
Wow. I was expecting something really cheesy. They respected this song, and when the guy did Cliff’s spoken part, it brought me to tears. The interpretation of this song was so perfect. And the kids are so into it. This is exactly how it was back in the day. People felt it and wanted to experience it live. This is really really special.
King Arthur: What is the greatest quality of knighthood? No poetry, just a simple answer. Merlin: Alright then. Truth! That's it, truth. When a man lies he murders some part of world. You should know that.
Im gonna be honest here. I went into this thinkin that their is no way they can make this sound halfway like james and the boys does it. I stand corrected! Great job by everyone involved! Sounded amazing!
Pleasure is all on this side man. Probably my favorite song from them so i had to listen and u guys did not disappoint. All of u are amazing musicians..keep up the great work!
I know right!! Mark Wood is incredible, he made the type of electric violins featured in this video called a 'viper'. Every musician in this is already extremely talented but it gives them new ways to express their music. Crazy amazing and revolutionary.
@@jordanfroger7915except it probably wasn't (nothing fits his style) but that is a wholenother topic. He deserves massive credit on the other albums though, without Cliff Metallica wouldn't make the music they do
This is kinda insane, but at 4:13 I literally started tearing up! This is my favorite song off the Justice album, and this is one of the most amazing, most beautiful covers I’ve ever heard of any song!! Outstanding performance!!
Adrian Villanueva I dont want to sound like an asshole, just trying to help: "Am I the only who gets goosebumps when the violins join in? I am crying a lot after this
Man, I’m literally crying hearing this beautiful composition. You guys truly did a great job bringin emotion to this song. It became more related on the pain Metallica had to suffer without Cliff when the wailing part fell in. Also croed because how much Metallica’s music often been taken for granted.
My only critique would be to have the bookends and interlude riff on guitar down pat note-for-note faithful to the original as they're such crucial parts of the song. Incredible performance otherwise.
LordDes - Thank you, I appreciate the honesty, I get what you are saying. But know that at the beginning especially, the guitarist (Rob Bambach) was vamping to cover a set change from the previous song on the program, and it's difficult to ask a guitarist of Rob's talents to play the same thing over and over indefinitely.
Also - there are very few examples of Metallica playing this live, and one of them has a longer solo where Kirk plays stuff that's quite different than the studio cut. It was difficult to get a definite feel for how literal we needed to be. But I get you!
Some criticisms are so minor as to be negligible, this is one of those. If you're looking for album accuracy when fade-ins/outs are involved, you're gonna have a bad time. You wanna tell someone to play Metallica songs correctly, start with Metallica...
That was fantastic! I loved the harmonies played with strings. My only complaint, as a guitarist myself, is guitar dude was a bit sloppy with the intro and didn't really play the mellow interlude well. I mean it's easy as hell to finger pick even on electric. It still sounded okay accompanied by the other instruments though. Other than that bravo everyone!
Thought0Ninja I think it was on purpose, that interlude is my favorite Pierce of music ever. So I was frustrated the first time when I heard it was not even similar to the original version. But now I am hearing it again, and I can definetely tell it fits to the song in a different but beautiful way.
Thought0Ninja and satellite Please forgive my copying from another thread - I absolutely get it - a part of a performance that I don't expect or don't like or just flat-out isn't played well can spoil it for me, too. But it was on purpose. As we put this arrangement together, we talked about the guitar stuff, and how closely it should stick to the disc, given everything else we were changing (instrumentation, key, added strings, some drum fills). What we decided was for Rob (guitarist) to play what he felt. We have been surprised by the number of comments (and the emotion behind them) about how un-like the disc it turned out, and I think we'll remember that down the road. But please have no doubts - Rob is a monster who can play with anybody, or he wouldn't be on the faculty at this festival. Stay tuned - we did One this year, with no guitars, three violins, and female vocals. I am sure that will generate some vigorous discussion as well. THANK YOU for your honesty and your willingness to talk about it!
I'm with satellite now as well. I did listen to it multiple times after commenting previously and now knowing it's intentionally done this way ahead of time and expecting it makes me appreciate how it fits now too. So my bad on jumping the gun on that though it was an honest yet knee jerk reaction in the moment. Also I do wholeheartedly agree that a cover should have it's own personality and as a musician myself/massive Met fan I still sometimes forget this. So bravo all around gentlemen!

/shrug idgaf what jason cares about. He was literally the lowest point of Metallica. not saying that's all his fault, but definitely happened when cliff died, jason came, and now with Robert things are better again. IMO
Holy shit... I'm amazed. Never before have I thought anyone was possibly OVER qualified to rock this song, especially on these particular instruments. I got chills at parts like it was the damn original... wow guys. I'm blown away.
@@docwallacemusic it's such a shame they didn't include to live is to die in s&m, really. i've gotten giant goosebumps during the entire duration of the album ("AAAAAAAA METALLICA COLLABORATED WITH AN ACTUAL ORCHESTRA I'M NOT SEEING THINGS" - me after learning that s&m exists), what more if they played TLITD? my tears would've been a torrential downpour by then, haha.
This is one of my favorite Metallica songs. I love the band, love the song and love Cliff. The interlude is the most beautiful piece of music that I know. You covered this song so extraordinarily well that I actually had to cry
Hard to beleive a few beer drinkin 25 yr olds from Southern California wrote this legendary piece of music.
Who does Well Cliff wrote some of them they just built a song around it.
Rob Spencer musicians come in many shapes or forms
Satan likes chees cliff just wrote the intro and the interlude
actually it's even crazier. Exhumed archive demo tapes reveal that most of the music for To Live Is To Die was written as early as 1986, if not even before that. So they were even younger than that.
I know this masterpiece it's legendary! METALLICA 🤘🏻
Cliff used to LOVE classical music, I feel like Cliff would have loved to hear this. This is an absolutely amazing piece of art. Cliff would be proud! R.I.P
I did not know.But very fitting they are Modern day Mozarts in there own right.🤘
Cliff was so musically knowledgeable.
@@EdmondRomero-k9sdeath is more like Mozart then Metallica is
He was graduate in music school. Theory, harmonys, and play Bach on violoncelo.
For those who died alone
Thank you. Brother I served with OD’d last month. Yes I found him. He loved this song.🤘🏻🤘🏻
4:40 makes you think about Cliff ... makes you wanna weep like a little baby ... makes you feel guilty for all the shit you've done in your life, realizing that life is too damn short ... makes you stronger at the same time ... makes you feel as if you had a hole in your soul, as if something is missing .. for way too long ... makes you realize you've been searching something your whole life, which you still havent found ... makes you feel as if you've lost a very close friend and brother ... now imagine was james, lars and kirk must've felt when they actually lost Cliff

The best Metallica riff ever in the best Metallica song ever. Always my favourite part. Amazing.
This riff always makes me think of Cliff. I know the whole song was his, but there's something about that interlude that always hits me in the feels.
"WHEN A MAN LIES, HE MURDERS SOME PART OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!" -What a thrill this was. Long live Mark Wood! Long live MWROC!!!
Those lyrics are from James Hetfield of Metallica!!
The lyrics are actually by Cliff Burton, Metallica's bassist, and the German theologian Paul Gerhardt, but James co-wrote the music,
so don't Lie
You just murdered some part of this world with your lie!!
King Arthur: What is the greatest quality of knighthood? No poetry, just a simple answer.
Merlin: Alright then. Truth! That's it, truth. When a man lies he murders some part of world. You should know that.

In the meanwhile, if you need your spirits lifted in a different way, please enjoy our encore from the "To Live is to Die" show: a cover of Nirvana's "Breed:" ruclips.net/video/SG4G9kFT3dk/видео.html
wasn't so sure about this at first, but once he got to the first solo...holy shit, I was sold
Thank you for sticking it out!
Cliff Aproves This
Jason Aproves This Too
I Love This
Jason approves cause you can hear bass.
/shrug idgaf what jason cares about. He was literally the lowest point of Metallica. not saying that's all his fault, but definitely happened when cliff died, jason came, and now with Robert things are better again. IMO
@@brucemalis1728 finally someone understands me
Jason??? Lol. He played what was already written, and then shown, and then told to play. But I guess he should be proud of James and Cliff.
How could you ever dislike this? Holy shit! 30 years after hearing this for the first time! September 10 of 1988 when I got the álbum!!!!!!
Thank you! It was Spring of 1989 when I first head this, and it changed my life.
And we never get old ever since Chuck Bontrager lol
Exactly! I have been 18 all this time...🤣
Fantastic! I've literally become a giant goosebump!
IAmKrow that's awesome!
Don't Know Me yes it is!
Killer performance on this epic song. RIP Cliff! 🤘🤘
Thank you, Andrew
Can't even describe what I feel! Standing ovations!
What. The. Fuck. This was the most intense thing ever. Awesome work
5:10 wow that brought tears to my eyes. Awesome cover
absolutely nails James and Kirks solos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you for the compliment, and for watching and listening and commenting!
What an amazing time we live in. People are awesome
I got excited
Witnessing this live was nothing short of incredible. The extended fingerings at 3:33......
Practice yer octaves and 10ths, my friend.
Amazing cover. My tears don't stop yet ...
They gave it a fuller, deeper, richer sound. Love it!!!!!!!
Thank you!
@@chuckbontrager5747 You are welcome.
Legendary song must be cover by Great Musician
Thank you!
Masterpiece...
Holy shit... I'm amazed. Never before have I thought anyone was possibly OVER qualified to rock this song, especially on these particular instruments. I got chills at parts like it was the damn original... wow guys. I'm blown away.
We felt the weight of great responsibility on this one. Thank you!
Agreed
Amazing, loved it! Drummer was awsome 🤘
Thank you, Lital. And yes - Jason is the Truth.
Right!
5:10 oh my gosh oh my gosh OH MY GOSH. this part and onwards is absolute perfection.
Thank you!
Thank you! We like to think of that part (and this whole cover) as "the forgotten track from S & M." Nothing like bowed strings, friend!
@@docwallacemusic it's such a shame they didn't include to live is to die in s&m, really. i've gotten giant goosebumps during the entire duration of the album ("AAAAAAAA METALLICA COLLABORATED WITH AN ACTUAL ORCHESTRA I'M NOT SEEING THINGS" - me after learning that s&m exists), what more if they played TLITD? my tears would've been a torrential downpour by then, haha.
Best school ever!!
Yeah. It’s pretty damn cool.
Yeah this is just f'in awesome.
I couldn't believe they were playing violins even watching the video. Absolutely Amazing!!!! Made me cry and headbang at the same time!!
Even Metallica should respect u brothers🤘💪
This is one of my favorite Metallica songs. I love the band, love the song and love Cliff. The interlude is the most beautiful piece of music that I know. You covered this song so extraordinarily well that I actually had to cry
Thank you, Arne.
Me too
the part at 5:08 gave me goosebumps, it's so beautiful
Absolutely beautiful. Metallica has written some amazing music . These guys definitely did a great job with this version
Thank you, Justin!
That middle fucking section still brings tears into my eyes.
Long live Metallica.
\m/
. . .and long live Cliff!!
For sure! Btw you did a great job mr. Wallace. Love the way you say the phrase: Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home!
