Sad part is, any time I listen to ajfa I keep thinking my copy is missing a bunch of songs because these reimagined “what if” songs sound as of they were on the album to begin with. Amazing work as usual! 🍻
Lmao. I don’t think it would be that different, just a tonal shift. Judas kiss is probably the most Justice on Death Magnetic, except maybe my apocalypse, but what do I know, this guy has proven me wrong many times.
Your work is incredible, i havent listed to the band in years and your tone swaps remind me of what hooked me in each album, i listend to your songs along the ogs now, thank you
I didn't notice anything wrong with the previous version, but this sounds amazing (and much better). Honestly, I usually dislike AJFA stuff because of how "tinny" is sounds. This definitely does not have that problem. I might be overreacting, but I think this track might be the best mixed one on this channel.
I don't think it's "tinny", I just think it's a sterile sound that works very very well with the dark, bleak, colorless subject matter that permeates the album.
Mate, best one you’ve done yet! Love your take on crossing over these songs from each album then re-imagining the structure and the riff sounds. Awesome keep on going 🤘🏻
It is just the vocals have altered? I noticed they sounded not quite right in the last one and to be honest it was the the only SOM video that I didn't make it through, this is much better.
But James had to be a bitch and drop the grit from his voice and Lars had to be a cunt and get rid of the producer they had since album 1 for Bob Rock. Ugh, if I could go back in time and kick their asses
What changed? Apart from the vocals, I mean. I did notice the downshifted vocals sounded a bit strange, otherwise sounded great though. This definitely sounds a lot better vocally!
original comment: "you must be kidding....or maybe you're deaf, those are the only two possible reasons for your comment" Edit** I thought that you talk about the original and not about a previous cover of Mercury, sorry.
@@StateOfMercury my bad, I understood wrong the xevon comment,I didn't notice that he refers to a previous version of your cover and not to the original...sorry
Thank God.... I decided not to comment but yeah I was feeling like the vocals were so off with the previous version. You are still a god for trying something different.
You just keeping dropping these gems like they grow on trees, man. Wonderful stuff. I've changed the way I think about Metallica songs I've listened to hundreds of times over multiple decades because of your creativity. Can't stress enough how damn _good_ you are at this. Thank you!
This was sick brother! Huge respect for your skills, not just in your playing but also reimagining these songs while still perfectly capturing vibes from different Metallica worlds. Kudos!
One thing that I respect the most about this guy is, he doesn't need to spend much for expensive guitars, amps and pedals to produce such badass pieces. I have the same Washburn guitar but it's the reverse headstock X series.
Awesome work man, good to see you back in action. One day you should do what if all nightmare long was on st anger and have the main riff back to shadows of the cross style. That would be sick
seriously awesome! I would however sidechain the pre solo lead parts to the main riff so that it ducks it. Hard to hear them and it sounds like they're epic!
-Oh, my God... Get in the ship, sweetie. - What? - Get in the goddamn ship!! Everything's on ...And Justice For All!! The whole planet's on ...And Justice For All!! Go, go, go!! [ Engine turns over ]
Thank you for ALL your hard work and amazing content you give to all of us. America deserves more...no my bro...you do!! And I love this one more than the original! Yeah....I said it, what!
Justice was the best Metallica album puppets comes in as a close 2nd almost no 1 the guitar on Justice was perfect would've liked to hear more on other albums
Why does the AJFA tone make everything sound so… sinister
James and Lars knew what they did. Bass aside it sounded great
Lack of bass, lots of low mids, lack of middle mids, lots of high mids
@@arande3 it does sound better with a bit of a base, idk there's many justice for Jason's out there some more balanced than others.
@@zyriuz2 James Mason mix >
the main riff sounds sick with that one note change
Yeah, much better. You're a real one for listening to the fans
Here’s a challenge for you. If “Fight Fire With Fire” was on “And Justice For All.” Do you think you can do this?
That's cool, it's like Dyers Eve on RTL, but reverse
Fuck yea
I think because of the sharp tone that AJFA has the intro riff will be brutal
Please man, I don't want Mercury to break his wrist.
fuckin A, yea dude.
I'd like to hear "Through The Never" and "Struggle Within" on ...And Justice For All. My two favorite songs from the Black Album.
Through the never would be Blackened part 2 if it were on AJFA.
NEVER STOP! 🤘🏻DO them all AJFA!!
@@2giantmonsters Wouldn't it be Holier Than Thou?
@@mikemossa9640 Yeeeaaahhh!!
Just a friendly reminder that the black album turns T H I R T Y next month 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Still an epic album too 👍👍👍👍👍
Damn bro, I still remember when that was the "new" album!
@@thrashthrasherson3803 yup. This album was the theme of my life when I was 11 😆
I was 15 when that was new!!!😭 how has 30 years gone by so fast? 🤔
Still sounds as modern as ever
This could be „The Frayed Ends of Sanity” part 2. :)
The harmonies leading up to the solo gave me straight up chills. The AJFA reworks are my hands down favorites!
Sad part is, any time I listen to ajfa I keep thinking my copy is missing a bunch of songs because these reimagined “what if” songs sound as of they were on the album to begin with. Amazing work as usual! 🍻
Please do The Judas Kiss on Justice!
Lmao. I don’t think it would be that different, just a tonal shift. Judas kiss is probably the most Justice on Death Magnetic, except maybe my apocalypse, but what do I know, this guy has proven me wrong many times.
Those few notes from the “And Justice for All” solo at 4:52 , and also a bit earlier in the harmony section you created, magnifique! 😉👊🏻🤘🏻🍻
And at 1:33 you can hear the intro to Frayed Ends Of Sanity too
@@lous2187 sounds more like Am I Evil?
With this tone, the riff reminds me a bit of Frayed Ends Of Sanity. This song is so damn sick in this style. Wow.
There is no hits, doubles or triples in your videos...just HOME RUNS
“ I only hit home runs darling.”
- Brent Hinds
this is still heavily underrated
I have been listening to this on repeat.
Better than original.
Fax
i'd pay money for this
I cant help it, the riff on this is just fucking awesome
Anyone throwing shade at this guy will be tread upon. 😘
What were people bitching about? I listened to the first one again today that shit is hard as a rock ain’t nothing wrong there 🤘
Just the vocals being too low
yeah vocals were low and I believe he may have made the riff less bluesy? I dunno the other still sounded way too black album and not at all AJFA
Hard as rock or heavy as metal?
Wow, you actually went back to it. What a legend.
Everybody start a petition to add this to the Blacklist

Awesome keep on going 🤘🏻
06:33 Such a Badass headbanger !!
Just realized how perfect the timing is for this release. ‘Murica! 🤘🏻
without hearing the original this is basically the original for me now. and tbh i prefer this version over the album version lol
Facking great! That intro is so cool. Maybe do What If The Star-Spangled Banner were on AJFA??
Good move leaving the old one up, I'm sure someone out there likes it better. That said, this one is improved.
It is just the vocals have altered? I noticed they sounded not quite right in the last one and to be honest it was the the only SOM video that I didn't make it through, this is much better.
REEEE
SPECT!
WALK!
OH WAIT..wrong song!
Freakin awesome as gawdern ALWAYZ!!!!!
Great job. When AJFA first came out I loved it. I visioned JH having cinder block sized EMGs and Lars having kick drums the size of a house.
This confirms that if the black album was released as AJFA 2.0, the world would’ve exploded in 1991
But James had to be a bitch and drop the grit from his voice and Lars had to be a cunt and get rid of the producer they had since album 1 for Bob Rock. Ugh, if I could go back in time and kick their asses

@@StateOfMercury Sweet, good move! That was the only thing that stood out to me in an otherwise absolutely fantastic rendition, great work as always!
@@StateOfMercury LOL

@@StateOfMercury my bad, I understood wrong the xevon comment,I didn't notice that he refers to a previous version of your cover and not to the original...sorry
This bytheway definitely is a song that was meant to be on AJFA
This is my absolute favourite, 5:08 and 1:46 probably the absolute favourite bits.
Okay this difference is actually massive tho. Frickin sweet
How about Jump in the Fire with the Black tone?
Yes. This is a great idea.
We really don't deserve StateOfMercury
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
Thank you. Even though I'm not American.
Your Justice tone sounds really accurate compared to the MoP on AJFA you made. The drum tone and the guitar tone sound accurate! And the bass!
You got this guitar/drum tone 100% accurate.
Rework the whole St. Anger album with the Black Album sound with some Black Album style solos :)
Or FK it just the entire back catalogue with the Black album sound!! 🤣🤣👊🏽💥💯
The Star Spangled Banner Intro is so AWESOME!!!!!!!!......
Unreal how you nailed the drum sound spot on. Absolutely unreal.
I have no improvements on this. Fucking epic. James would be proud.
Thank God.... I decided not to comment but yeah I was feeling like the vocals were so off with the previous version. You are still a god for trying something different.
I fuckin love this guy. I’ve been waiting for this for months since the teaser
Man I love everything you do 🖤 Please keep gifting us with these masterpieces!!!
2:54 👹 dont tread on me 👹
I may be of the unpopular opinion though I would love to hear every AJFA reworked song, done with Jason-style bass.
Every song ever issued by Metallica would be wild with JN tones.
This dude deserves at least 100k subs. Let's help make that happen.
Are you able to isolate Ain't My Bitch vocals the same way you did with this one and add it to your Bitch on Justice rework?
You just keeping dropping these gems like they grow on trees, man. Wonderful stuff. I've changed the way I think about Metallica songs I've listened to hundreds of times over multiple decades because of your creativity. Can't stress enough how damn _good_ you are at this. Thank you!
Your tone and compression on the guitars is spot on. This is absolutely incredible as always 🤘🏼
This was sick brother! Huge respect for your skills, not just in your playing but also reimagining these songs while still perfectly capturing vibes from different Metallica worlds. Kudos!
My friend. With the IA you.should use the james 88-89' vocals on this song. It would fit perfectly.
One thing that I respect the most about this guy is, he doesn't need to spend much for expensive guitars, amps and pedals to produce such badass pieces. I have the same Washburn guitar but it's the reverse headstock X series.
Awesome work man, good to see you back in action. One day you should do what if all nightmare long was on st anger and have the main riff back to shadows of the cross style. That would be sick
Of course I did not discover another planetary system here, but thanks for the AJFA at 4:52
These What If's are so awesome. Great skill and creative rearrangements, bro. A true professor of Metallicology.
We would all love to see more videos of you playing this shit, this is awesome man
Best one yet! Best interpetation...Best sound quality...best riffs...Best everything!
Murica fuck ya
This should be the official song of Don't Tread On Me movement 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Lo del 04:00 es sublime y precioso!
seriously awesome! I would however sidechain the pre solo lead parts to the main riff so that it ducks it. Hard to hear them and it sounds like they're epic!
-Oh, my God... Get in the ship, sweetie.
- What?
- Get in the goddamn ship!! Everything's on ...And Justice For All!! The whole planet's on ...And Justice For All!! Go, go, go!!
[ Engine turns over ]
Put any song ever recorded is if it was on AJFA = INSTANT IMPROVEMENT
It would be amazing if Metallica did a 35th Anniversary AJFA show where they did a normal setlist except every song was AJFA stlye
Everything on AJFA is way better, specially the 90's hard rock stuff 👌
That solo felt too real.
Thank you for ALL your hard work and amazing content you give to all of us. America deserves more...no my bro...you do!! And I love this one more than the original! Yeah....I said it, what!
Ohh yeaah!! I love the sound of Justice, so heeavy! Really nice work man!
1:33 Frayed Ends Of Sanity?????
Now you nailed it.
6 months later and it’s still the official version for me 🤘thank you mercury
Dude I love this song. You made it fucking better. I love justice. Thanks brother. Good shit!!!
I hear a bunch of "am I evil?" In there
I hear a little bit of Am I Evil and i love it
No bass, you are the master of the AJFA sound
This sounds alot better, good on ya
alot...........................................................
You should do more videos where its showing you playing the song, it's a lot more fun to watch and we can actually learn how to play it
Justice was the best Metallica album puppets comes in as a close 2nd almost no 1 the guitar on Justice was perfect would've liked to hear more on other albums
Dont step on snek
This is a badass cover. They should have put you on the blacklist with this one. 🤘🤘
It needed redoing? I mean, awesome, but I think we would've managed. It slayed either way.
That intro was beautiful! 🤘🖤
I'd like to hear The Shortest Straw on Master, All Nightmare Long on Master, and The Struggle Within on Justice :)
Vibrating watching this!!. Congrats dude!!, just guessing how many guitar tracks on pre-solo and end!!!
Am I only the one who heard the intro and started thinking of Walk by Pantera?
Don't tread the frayed ends of sanity
This riff probably lends itself to be suited for AJFA more than any other song on S/T.
Dude much respect I close my eyes sounds just like em your extremely talented keep moving forward bro
Awesome job as always!!
I think so far, you've made more Metallica songs, than Metallica themselves XD!
Keep 'em coming 💪!!
Better than the black album version . But I was looking a tempo change in the middle of this song
Wow, you made a great song even greater. Kudos to you StateOfMercury.
A slower, chuggier version of Frayed Ends it sounds like, nice man
Este si es un blacklist perrón!!! Jeje You rock
Hey! I see him! Allways loved your content! Cool to see you moving around, rocking out!
Amazing. Everything about this is exactly what my brain wants to hear. Love it!
