@Sergio S Well, these don't really have metal parts, but rock mixed with soul/R&B type stuff: •En Vogue - Free Your Mind •Janet Jackson - Black Cat •Michael Jackson - Earth Song (it's more of a ballad, but things get super soul-rockish halfway thru the song)
For the same reason Metallica worked so well with Michael Kamen. There's a symphony aspect there that horns or an orchestra just meshes with perfectly.
I played this at a gig in a small but packed bar in Queens NY I used to DJ at back in the day, and the whole damn crowd went ballistic. They loved it. People from their 20s to their 60s rocked out to this track. It was crazy.
reminds me of debut patton era FNM, cuz that dude has some soul in his pipes. just listen to FNM cover Lionel Ritchie (Commodores - Easy. i'm not into that type music until I saw them do this on Letterman many years ago and I wasn't really a big Patton fan, i rathered the punkrocker in a dress era We Care A Lot lol.
I've listened to this several times and the other day while I was in a store Superstitious was playing over the sound system and I thought "There's something missing." Your work has definitely made an impact on me. Well done Sir.
OMG where has Wax been all my life. First I found you 15 minutes ago by way of Facebook posting (Bee gees and AC/DC) which is better than the original. And now this is the second One I am hearing. Simply amazing.
Been listening to the shit out of this since I came across the video a year ago. So good I want to see a band attempt this live. Those horns sound amazing with metal. Holy crap.
Yes! This is the outside-the-box thinking music NEEDS! Metal with a horn section could be pure 🔥! Now I'm craving some metal with EW&F or KC & the Sunshine Band. 🌞
BEST MASHUP EVER. I do some DJ gigs and this one always packs the floor. So awesome to feature 2 generations of music, and two radically different genres at one time. Great audio quality as well. With mega respect, DJ Will D'Beats Canada ;0)
Jess Jones is an awesome name as well.......for a couple of decades, I was a heavy rock drummer. When I DJ, I often play live electronic percussion, along with my DJ sets. That's where 'Will D'Beats' came from. Thanks for taking the time to comment.......All the best
Dude has such an AMAZING EAR and sense of rhythm...this sounds like an original except that I can hear a very very subtle difference between audio quality between the two tracks, which can’t be helped and if I had never lived with a sound engineer I probably wouldn’t have noticed. Amazing work!
I would totally dig Soul Metal as a genre.
SAME!
If anybody finds more of this genre add here, I'm looking it up too
Kings X?
“24-7 Spyz” Heavy Metal Soul.. look them up!
@Sergio S

Could you imagine being at a Stevie Wonder concert, and all the sudden Metallica comes out and they jam to this.
And the funky bell bottom wearing people gets ravaged by kids with long hair who headbangs XD
It would make history
Stevie would dig it too
And sing im your eyes when you can't see😅😅
@@kwnwps Your comment made me cry😂😂😂
Why do the horns go so perfectly? This is dope
For the same reason Metallica worked so well with Michael Kamen. There's a symphony aspect there that horns or an orchestra just meshes with perfectly.
Well, don't you know that you ALWAYS throw the horns in metal...!?
@@sabershenanigans 🤟
Because the sad but true riff and the clavinet lick are basically the same.
I played this at a gig in a small but packed bar in Queens NY I used to DJ at back in the day, and the whole damn crowd went ballistic. They loved it. People from their 20s to their 60s rocked out to this track. It was crazy.
as they should
Fantastic haha!
What bar in Queens
I think we might have a new DJ mixing genre!
Dude I’m playing this live with my band. It kicks and people love it!!It doesn’t hurt that it’s SO fun to play!!!
I've been listening to mashups for a few hours and I came to conclusion, metal blends in perfectly with just about every genre
I reckon it's mostly because they have pretty consistent slow riffs
Distortion makes everything better
@@hf3923 No, it's because they have good melodies. Dance pop is basically metal with a different sound. Beethoven in just metal plain and simple.
Thats also because Metal has taken inspiration from just about every Genre
I've been wanting Abba and Air Supply Metal for years
soul metal needs to be a thing for real
reminds me of debut patton era FNM, cuz that dude has some soul in his pipes. just listen to FNM cover Lionel Ritchie (Commodores - Easy. i'm not into that type music until I saw them do this on Letterman many years ago and I wasn't really a big Patton fan, i rathered the punkrocker in a dress era We Care A Lot lol.
beha8tin Faith No More flirted with it.
Definitely Faith No More were kind of feeling this kind of sound. Also Living Color.
beha8tin Funk Metal is pretty similar
You should check out Zeal and Ardor.
When Dave Mustaine and Stevie Wonder left Metallica, it was never the same.
Dammit! Now I have coffee all over my office desk.
Hilarious.
HAHA xD xD
In an alternate reality Alcoholica is a real thing, that stayed......
That’s funny!
Now THIS is the music of the future. Imagine blasting this while cruising across a post-apocalyptic landscape in your rusted armored vehicle.
This is the sound roaring out the speakers of mad max' furious falcon
ONE COULD ONLY WISH THIS IS THE MUSIC OF THE FUTURE. IM AFRAID ROCK AND ROLL IS DEAD. JUST RAP AND OTHER CRAP
The apocalypse is NOW 😢
You sir , made my day!
the ZOMBIE apocalypse started a long time @@gregorywinters4302 with the youth (and others. but mostly youth) addicted to their mobiles....
Why is Soul Metal not a mainstream genre yet? We need this in our society like RIGHT NOW.
JohnEnigma Haven’t you heard Black Label Society?
JohnEnigma the group youre looking for is Living Color
try fishbone
Late era Bad Brains
Urban Dance Squad

This is actually one of the better mashups I've ever heard
Can confirm.
Why has this not happened in real life? Stevie and the boys could still get together and pull this off.
Tom Pinkerton right? Instead of lulu metallica should have done something with stevie
I think exactly the same.
Not wanting to sound crazy it would be a match made in heaven
@@mattbartolovich8228 In this reality we got rap metal. Partly due to Anthrax and Public Enemy.
Stevie said he can't see it happening
Love the concept of Soul-Metal. And that shot of Grover gets me every time.
Heavy funk ? I'm all for it !!
warner kurt Funk Metal yup
Primus already sorta did that
Heavy soul
it's unbelievable how much these two work together!!!!!!!
Stevie is now officially a member of Metallica and your argument is invalid...
Better than Lou Reed with Metallica. (RIP Lou Reed)
+Zombifyed God that was a terrible album.
+Adam Hufnagel What was? I have no memory of such a thing :p
Lou was good person, but I never get a taste of his music...
Roman Výmola can I get a YEAH!!! in Stevie's voice
Almost could be a Living Colour song
who's a better drummer? Lars or Will Calhoun?
Will. I freakin LOVE Metallica. Always have. But Lars can't keep a beat to save his life.
Cult of Superstition lmao
I'm looking at your photo, you are a funny guy!
Will
In a word? FLAWLESS.
In a word YEP! LOL.. This is amazing.
Soul, rock, jazz, r&b, and blues go hand in hand; this here is magic.
This is a masterpiece. So well put together, just brilliant. The triplet at 2:34
I commend your attention to detail, sir.
@@waxaudio 2:45 is that also a triplet? sorry I don't know much music theory
@@juani2929 Yes.
Metallica + Stevie Wonder = Living Colour
Please don’t ever stop making these mashups. This is incredible stuff.
I will never hear either song the same again.
The new S&M,,,,,,, Stevie and Metalica!!!!!
mreid08 Hell ducking yeah!
Lol ... true
I would genuinely listen to soul metal. This is beyond the fun element it has undoubtedly created; this is actually awesome as a song.
This is by far the best mashup I've ever heard in my life.
as a long time fan of both of these artists... I am so happy right now.
I've listened to this several times and the other day while I was in a store Superstitious was playing over the sound system and I thought "There's something missing." Your work has definitely made an impact on me. Well done Sir.
3:59 I can see how happy Stevie is with his song being mashed-up with Metallica's. Thanks Wax.
On the Alternate version of earth, Stevie actually joined Metallica and made one AWESOME album!!
Cliff did not allow that to happen in that Alternate Universe =)
If you can dream it/think it. It can happen.
@@GerardoIx mcgovney?
In this universe, we got rap metal which morphed into NuMetal and influenced Skater punk.
@@thursoberwick1948 I mean, true tho. You sure got me there!!
I'm a huge Metallica fan and I love this way more than the original.
No way! You wouldn't believe these two songs go together - but they do! Soul Metal indeed
Musically one of the best mash-ups I've ever heard!
I love this so much. When I hear "Sad But True" now, I change the lyrics to Stevie's "Superstition". 🤘
I saw this and thought it would be terrible honestly. One of the best mashups yet. Stevie seasoned with Metallica crunch is addictive!
grover was A nice touch....
but seriously -- who was the guy on the horn?
Steve Madaio ... aka Mr Blues... aka Horny Ron ( due to looking like a certain Mr Jeremy )
www.discogs.com/artist/315485-Steve-Madaio
Never thought I'd headbang to Stevie Wonder. That's how good this mashup is.
This mashup just brought in a whole new meaning to the genre, Groove Metal! :D
the grover scream was the best part of the song
This is an instant classic
1 of the best mash ups ever
Grover screaming. Gotta love it.!
Stevie…no one can touch him in this song. Absolutely rock-soul-funked the daylights out of this track.
OMG where has Wax been all my life. First I found you 15 minutes ago by way of Facebook posting (Bee gees and AC/DC) which is better than the original. And now this is the second One I am hearing. Simply amazing.
I sincerely hope you've found Bill McClintock by now.....
How could anyone give this a thumbs down? This made my day!!! Awesome!
You sir are a genious.
Genius! Just like the Iron Maiden - Bob Marley mash-up. These two, the best i've heard!
Metallica does sound pretty awesome with a horn section! They should consider getting one!
"I'm your eyes"...I see what you did there (Stevie didn't, but I did 😂)
I would so pay to see this on stage live.
Both instrumenals and all vocals work together... The perfect mashup!
OMG!!! This combo is blowing my F'n mind. Just a music freak who was a teenager in the 70's.
Mark in Seattle
how could you not have named it Superstitious But True???
Sad but Superstitious has a better Stevie Wonder ring to it
True but Superstitious :D
Superstitous alliteration
Urban Dance Squad
ruclips.net/video/Q2a4MPP7zRI/видео.html&start_radio=1&list=RDQ2a4MPP7zRI&t=63
Both work.
never would've imagined this as a mashup...good job.
0:26 even Stevie know this shit sounding fire
I'm very glad I'm alive to watch and listen to this. Wonderful.
My favorite mashup of all time
this really needs to be released as a singlebest mashup ever created
Speed it up to 1.5 or 2x speed with the gear icon to hear a new genre of music: Power-Ska.
1.5 even more SKA
I prefer it at the 0.5x speed for a bit of Stevie Wonder tinged DOOM METAL!!! \m/ \m/
Eddie Spencer-Small Doom Dub!
Oh my god, that is great
The Top 100 AMVs of all time! 1.25 sounds pretty damn good.
Wondertallica
Just awesome!
Metallicwonder
Stevetallica
Jamie Wonder
Stevie Metal

No one going to talk about 2:46?
hahaha
Grover is rockin' out!
best thing about this video
😂😂😂😂
I seen that many moons ago
Jewel
This has cheered me up from a rather bad mood. Put a massive smile on my face. Keep the mash-ups coming.
This is fantastic, like previously stated I can't believe I didn't stumble across this until 5 years after it was posted. Great job on this!!
Been listening to the shit out of this since I came across the video a year ago. So good I want to see a band attempt this live. Those horns sound amazing with metal. Holy crap.
Yes! This is the outside-the-box thinking music NEEDS! Metal with a horn section could be pure 🔥! Now I'm craving some metal with EW&F or KC & the Sunshine Band. 🌞
Grover at 2:47 gets me everytime. ❤❤❤
This should be a Soul Metal classic! If I only knew how to play and had a band...
BEST MASHUP EVER. I do some DJ gigs and this one always packs the floor. So awesome to feature 2 generations of music, and two radically different genres at one time. Great audio quality as well.

...I know I'm late to the show, but "DJ Will D'Beats" is a great freaking name 😂

Infectious grooves, old school but nearest we get to this.
Esto es verdaderamente increíble y genial.
Can't find the right word for this really. Awesome is no where close so lets call it Legendary! Loving the Soul-Metal stuff!!
dude...so well blended. Freaking amazing editing. This is just amazing.
I'm gonna start a mashups band. Some of this is so cool. Man the time that went in to these songs are awesome. I commend you sir
Got caught up in mashups for the last few hours! This is one of the best! Loved the Soul-Metal mix! December 2020 - LOL!
frikkin one of the best things i've ever heard.2 excellent artists.perfect.we all need this stuff folks.
THIS IS PERFECT! who ever made thie is a genious
This is freaking amazing!
Holy shit, that's better than either original song!
This is the best Metallica song *BY FAR* and it is so funky it is begging for a Wonder mashup. 👍🏾👍🏾
I cranked this up and not even the police were called, sad but true. lol.
офигенно!
that's whats up..awesome mashup..totally engrossed me from the start..
Probably the best mashup ever in metal!!! HEEEELL YEAAAAAAAAH! MORE THAN METAL THAN THE ORIGINAL
Dude has such an AMAZING EAR and sense of rhythm...this sounds like an original except that I can hear a very very subtle difference between audio quality between the two tracks, which can’t be helped and if I had never lived with a sound engineer I probably wouldn’t have noticed. Amazing work!
You catch the Jimi Hendrix/Bjork comp from a few minutes ago? Need a copy of that. EDIT: It is on Sowndhaus
This is an absolute MASTERPIECE!!!!!
This may just be your finest moment. Your magnum opus. Absolutely brilliant.
I always come back to waxaudio mashups!
This sounds surprisingly awesome!
the REAL groove metal
This is so goddamn good it should be on the radio. Best of all Wax.
So awesome! The pauses, the metal, the soul and Ron Jeremy on trumpet hahaha
Once you hear it you cannot go back to both songs... :-)
I felt the same way after the first time I heard NIN's 'Closer' with Super Mario Brothers.
in ten years Lars Ulrich will claim this actually happened
sad but true :3
i see what u did there ^^
lmao
Nobody asked for your redundancy.
sad but not true
As a Metallica fan, this was really awesome...
This and Whole Lotta Sabbath are the two BEST mashups ever. Period.
This mashup is proof that all music can come together, and make a beautiful sound!
This works very well, because there’s a lot of blues influence on the Black Album
I can hear both blues and metal influences on many classic grunge albums. Especially Soundgarden.
BRASS METAL YOU ALL ….NEW GENRE OH MY GOD I LOVE IT
It kind of sounds like ska punk.
Fucking what??? this fits, holy shit,lol. bloody awsome
HANDS DOWN! Pure respect goes to the person behind the wax audio project!
I cant get over how well these songs are crafted....perfect fits all around..well done!
Does it work th other way round? I want to hear that!
