    After having so much fun with Puppets, I decided to do this one from Ride the Lightning and do whatever I wanted. Lars' performance and sound on that album is horrible, so I play it like he did on Live Shit: Binge & Purge - Seattle 1989 ...plus add a few liberties here n there. Hope you like it!

    The double bass in the guitar solo pleases me, not many people seem to realise it's there and I love it when Lars plays it as it adds more energy to the song!

    • @pexstallz4279
      @pexstallz4279 8 лет назад

      I'm actually pretty sure it's guitar not bass because when I play the song it's on guitar, but anyways yea it sounds great with the solo!

      +Pex Stallz I think he means double bass on the drums (the foot pedal) not double bass guitar. You can clearly hear the double bass pedals towards the end

    This is my favorite cover of this song anywhere i can find on youtube. What i love about Josh's videos, aside from his playing, that you can hear the kick drum. Every other cover i have seen of this on youtube, you cant hear the kick drum and thats a major part at the end.

    You added enough fills and it isn't the simple groove we heard on the album BUT, all of your fills blend so well with the song, it's definitely a pleasure to hear your playing, Lars adds enough fills but, they are hit or miss, however, your fills are spot on and definetely, the ending was superb, as the rest of your cover, your playing has a flow and it is really great to hear it. Congratulations, keep up the good work and of course, i want to mention that your sound kicks ass, well done
