"If Metallica is so good, why isn't there a Metallica 2?"
Metallica 2:
we all hoped that load would be the second black album, biggest disappointment ever
🤟🏻🤟🏻
@@mycareer2390 The thing that made them come to easier music might in fact be the extremely long and exhausting Black Album tour that lasted > 3 years. The band had a huge burnout and dropped the massive downpicking and the harmonies of their earlier sound on Load.
@@ELECTRICSCARS We did not.
@@StateOfMercury 🍺👋
Not enough Yeah’s to be a Black Album song. 9/10
That's cause you didn't count the "yeah"s in "Batter-yeah!"
9 Yeah´s out out of 10
Hahah
A fellow a7x dan I see. Nice to find another person of culture.
Yeehhheaaahhh woahhhhhooooaahhhh!
There you go lmao
Can't wait for One on the Black Album
You will get "The unforgiven"
YES that needs to happen
Oh God the machine gun riff in Black Guitars. Can we even handle the majesty?
don't do that...don't give me hope...
@@yossef964 The Oneforgiven
I swear you just made Battery groove metal
Missing the far-right lyrics
@@Ropoid huh
@@urianerreerre5005 pantera is the most popular groove metal band but they’re also known for having lyrics that are incredibly right wing
@@Ropoid anyone who thinks in left/right is a dumbass.
@@Ropoid Uh huh, sure. Like what?
I like how the Black album style changes the style of the riffs and makes them sound really good even if the original was better
black album sound makes everything better :)
He gets the general direction right but not the exact sound ofc because for that you'd need multimillion $ studio equip and the exact stuff they used at the time but it's impressive nonetheless and i admire the idea and execution. I would love to hear what Hetfield and Ulrich think about this.
@@pfzt Yeah I wanna see what they would say about all of these reworks.
@@4star79 I know what Lars would say... Let's get to sueing!!!
@@pfzt the production is awesome , I especially love the drums the sound is *EXTRA THICC*
You nail to the idea of 'reinterpretation' perfectly, what I usually hear are only very weird "covers".
Canned music that we listen to over and over is notes, but it isn't alive. It's a massaged, contorted version of one moment in someone's life.
This is beautiful.
This actually has a very Death Magnetic feel to me
I hear it too.
The distortion sounds exactly the same
You mean like "That Was Just Your Life"?
cant tell if that was a reference or not
I always thought of Death Magnetic as being Master of Puppets and Black album smashed Together.
*Bob Rock:* I'm gonna produce the best Metallica music ever!
*StateOfMercury:* Hold my beer!
are you suggesting the black album is superior to the previous albums
@@frixz__ To some it would be the bands peak. To others, not so. If you listen carefully, every album has a different tone, a different feel. To me personally my favourite album is master of puppets. It's more mature musically than Kill 'em all, and Ride the Lightning and it _really_ makes me wonder what And Justice for all would have sounded like with Cliffs input. Sadly, what could have been. So in answer, I feel the black album has better production value. It's an extremely refined album. Heavy, yes. But not thrash metal like it's predecessors.
Cristiano dos Santos Gomes im a kill em all and ride the lighting fan. i love their rough production with fast past metal
@@frixz__ in terms of production and sound its untouched, I would say its their peak maybe but no I doubt he's saying that
LOL bro you made my day....😂👍🏻
1:07 Disposable Battery?
Battery Heroes ?? :p
@@mattjina Yesss xD
I saw this comment before I even started listening and was wondering what it's about. Also I know the Black Album is different, but what I'd love to hear after the end of this rff is exactly the same transition to main "Battery" riff as is on "MoP" and the original tempo. The buildup in "Disposable Heros" style was perfect!
...from album Master of Black
ratchet9868 that's not the disposable heroes picking pattern..
vocals are surprisingly more aggressive.
There depended to make him sound older l
I love how merely nudging back the original riff half a beat just entirely changes the flavour!!
it’s so good
If Outlaw Torn was on Justice.
PLEASE
MAKE
THIS!
YES! PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
I didn't realise just how much I needed this in my life until I read it. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Interesting choice, since the bass carries so much of that song.
HELL NO
Outlaw Of Torn is Perfect on Load-
@@lacalacadevic2887 No shit it is, the point of the reworks is to see how it would've sounded on that album.
Orion on Ride The Lightning
Oh yes
ruclips.net/video/fKUbJg9OSJA/видео.html
He didn't improvise much but the tone is spot on.
If To Live Is To Die was on Ride The Lightning
And definitely not on justice......
I wanna see it on ajfa
it frustrates me that I honestly like this more than original. The deeper harsher vocals. The the slightly slower more groovy feel...
same i still love the original but this doe damn
mercury's damn good at using an albums best characteristics for these videos
To whomever who redid this. You need to produce. My friend
“What if Holy Wars was on Justice” no, not joking.
I don't believe that's a Metallica track🤔
Andrew Henery thats why it would be even more interesting
@@andrewhenery8945 better than anything tallica ever wrote though
What if mechanix was on kill em all.....
darkfieldsofme not the same bro
Hit The Lights or 4 Horsemen in Hardwired...
Dont give him any ideas, Sounds like Arm Suicide
Can we get Four Horsemen on Killing is my business and business is good?...oh wait
Be fucked!
or Whiplash!
The black album had the best production in terms of clarity and tone very well balanced and easy to pick through the instruments not because it’s a slower but rather because of the sound quality.
We need some Kill em all or load/reload on the black album
No Remorse
@Charles Payne Yeah king is basically sandman lol😂
That would be awesome
Jesus Christ 5:10 through to the end had me going nuts
The switch to double time is epic
🤘🤘🤘
How about Battery on St. Anger. All you hear is drums.
Hah! Fitting-- batterie means drums in french xD
How about anything from St. Anger made to sound like just about any other era except Load/RELoad?
I can't even begin to put into words the amount of respect and gratitude I feel towards the creator of this channel, and the channel itself. Incredible, honestly remarkable understanding of each Metallica album to pull this off - not to mention recording, performance, and production skill. Just top class. A true standout on RUclips.
1:22 and 4:15 omfg! Soooo groovy!
Back then everyone hated the black album. Now everyone want every song in black album style 😅
Not me. Don't hate the Black album, it's a good album, but I prefer Metallica's earlier (and also more recent) stuff.
I used to listen to these a lot, but then I got so tiered of them. Thank you for bringing new life to these old classics with a twist!🤘
St Anger on the Black Album? That’s gonna be a hell of a rewrite tho🤷♂️
Could be good as fuck tho if done throughly
Yeah it would!
That is so fucking awesome
@@StateOfMercury PLEASE for the love of god do not take Lar's snare from St. Anger. That is the grossest, most unmixed piece of shit snare I've ever heard in my life lol. God speed.
I'm just glad you decided to start uploading after a year, I remember finding the MOP video and was worried you gave up, love your interpretations
I can't wait for The Things That Should Not Be un The Black Álbum
Now that's a Thing That Should Be. I'll let myself out.
YES!!!!!!! Please.
Sounds like how Lars plays it now 😅😅
@Brandon Sale Mine too!!!. yeah he definitely brought it back in the day...but now he doesn't practice and has gotten lazy , doesn't even do the double bass on One anymore
@@ronbrooks2221 25-30 years ago Lars said he wouldn't be able to play this shit AT ALL... He proved himself wrong
I remember reading Guitar World in disappointment in 1992 where Lars was interviewed during the Black Album Tour, saying he now preferred bouncier, simpler, Phil Rudd style of drumming and was no longer going to be playing complex time changes, just playing in 4/4 most of the time. I blamed Bob Rock too but Lars just...sucks. AndJusticeForAll was their last real album where they were still unique and true to themselves.
Haha hehe. Dumb comment. Get on the band wagon with all the other lars trolls
WinstonSmith911 welp I am sure Lars doesn’t really care what you think.
Incredible interpretation! Using James' grittier, raspier late 80's-early 90's voice sounds awesome, too!
Bro you nailed it, this ain't just the same song with a different guitar tone, it's actually a rewritten version, keep it up brother🤘🤘
Metallica should be proud of this. Great sound and mix☺
This dude deserves an Oscar!! 🤟
Nice work you did there!
It's like new songs from the good old days.
Sounds like Testament !
Low era testament.
Metallica cant be compared to testament
@@aic8326 true Metallica is light years better
@@surfboarding5058 lol good thing about the metallica fanboys, they're always good for a laugh
@@surfboarding5058 listen to the majority of testaments albums, and if you still think metallica is better then you're on fuckin crack
frayed ends of sanity could sound pretty cool
I Can't fuckin wait for more of these songs, I've been listening to them back and forward since I discovered this channel.
Yo! This got a section on Loudwire!
Is differently awesome! The rhythm is unique but still sounds like Battery, the harmony in the bridge is so cool. And the solo!! Is awesome, the slowed down tempo fits great! The only complain I got is that, in *my* opinion, Master of Puppets and Ride The Lighting vocals are really high and sharp to be equalized to the Black Album. I maintain that live vocals would fit if they could be isolated from the Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge.
The tempo is the same dude. The feel is different. This is groove, awesome really.
@@warhedd yeah, I checked that. Is the chuggy and heavy groove it have
I have listened to Metallica so much that this is refreshing
if they ever did a re-mix and re-release of live shit you might get your wish. unfortunately as of now the best you have is a dvd that is a ported version of the concert from VHS with mono or only lightly stereo sound.
That Seattle ‘89 show is one of the best concerts I’ve ever watched on dvd. I think it’s their best live recorded show. (Save for the rarities with Cliff)
Finally got to check this out! Excellent work as usual man! This is insane!🤘
All of these are so badass. Please keep making these. I like when the vocals get changed to black album vocals to. I would love to hear the whole kill em all album like this!!!!!!!
Love that you opened the description with "I have fun." What an understatement... :) WE have even more fun listening to these remixes. Thanks for doing these!!!!!!!!!
You sir are a bloody genius! You’re a true fan, keep it coming!
It's just awesome, beautiful! You not only changed smth in equalizer, but wrote original guitar parties and made James' voice 5 years older! Insane! Great job! I quite forgot this song is from MoP. I feel like it always was in Black Album!
This is the second vid I’ve seen (first one being “if Sandman was on AJFA”)... you sir just earned yourself another subscriber!! You’ve just reignited my love for, and breathed new life into, my favorite band.
Sounds....angrier! You've hit the nail on the head with this re-work
Needs a little more 90’s reverb on the intro acoustic lead, but other than that, 100% perfect
This, this I like!
You earned a sub. This and MoP was enough to convince me.
I just found this channel today and I haven't stopped smiling yet - these are incredibly good
Ok , I'm subbing. Creeping death and master were excellent and now you come back again so quickly with another great video.
Shoot Me Again on Master Of Puppets
came for the laughs, stayed because... this is actually pretty awesome!
I'm so glad I found your channel.
These are great!
Really wasnt sure on this at first but its amazing! Very impressive!
1:12 sounds like a combination between Disposable and My Apocalypse
Disposable Apocalypse...
My Heroes
@@edgy1776 My Disposable Heroes of the Apocalypse...
Sounds like Rust In Peace tone lol
Yeah I was thinking it sounded like RIP...Polaris and Lucretia a bit
Holy fuck dude, this was pure gold.
"The House That Jack Built" from Kill 'em All.
mrt77wv I can see Lars as Jack.
I hope this channel explodes. Keep posting
These are so spot on! I can only imagine how much work goes into them. What software do you use for the drums?
Heard a couple of your remixes. They're really good. Subbed. Good work bud.
You're so in tune with the source material. Not only do you nail the tone but friggin compositions.
Of all other channels that attempt the same fall short on both fronts.
If you uploaded an orginal song (on a different channel) in the style of Metallica from any given album and marketed it as one of their long lost unreleased tracks, I'd totally fall for that shit.
If Master Of Puppets was on Hardwired...
Good Idea!
No Arm suicide!
This one was actually probably the best of your videos.
Clever - deleting and inserting an 8th note! The main riff’s off beat is changed to on the beat, but the
--4
--6
0-0-
at the end is preserved. This threw me off at first since I expected everything to be shifted. But I think it makes it way catchier. Awesome job!!
Wtf bro this is literally the best video I saw this month, MASTERPIECE
This is so god damn good!
Can't wait for Moth Into Flame on the Kill 'em All album
3:23
I love how it's made as harmony guitar in that part
Great work man!
Excelente versión! Battery es mi rola favorita de Metallica, y ésta mezcla no se queda atrás. Gracias!
Main riff sounds like That Was Just Your Life
The outro kicks so much balls
Un fucking real how good this is. You are king of bonus tracks
Holier Than Battery
Man I would love to see a making of.... show us the magic :-
I like this dudes videos! I like how the riffs and drum beats are different, not just the sounds and the mixing, like so many would have done.
Having said that there could have been a bit more black album style drum fills, in my opinion. Now the fills where little too simple, almost like hardwiredish.
I still be listening to this on the regular
How did you keep James' voice the same pitch but give it a "lower town" to be more Black-album-like? Rework sounds great!
Not to be snobby but I thought you'd like to know, that would be more timbre or tone than pitch
@@Condemned782 Is it? I'd say it sounds like he's singing the same pitch since an octave down would be very obviously weird-sounding, but the timbre/tone seems to have been adjusted to make him sound less "prepubescent" per say.
@@elsewhere5800 oh I think I misread your comment sorry 😅 yes that would be correct
@@Condemned782 No problem!
The vocals from the original song are equalized to the Black Album tone/pitch.
This is the best thing ive ever heard
Masterfully done.
Dude you're the best! Keep doing more!
4:15 OMG
I edited this comment so the replies make no sense
GenericRUclipsCommenter bruh that part where they palm mute would be amazing w the justice tone 🤤
Cant wait for that epic bass riff
ruclips.net/video/KxyP1WYJZUE/видео.html
I’d rather have every single song on ...AJFA on literally any other album.
The intro would be absolute silence.
Love your vids!
You’re great at this stuff man.
Remember that on the black album Kirk Hammett on guitar uses a lot of wah wah.
The original solo already uses wah
Oh my God this sounds awesome. Are these redone versions of the older tracks available on ITunes? I'd buy them all because I've always wanted an updated playlist of Metallica's older tracks - which are obviously awesome but sound a little lacking in power due to the old technology, mixing, instruments etc - this sounds so good and I want mp3s.
Ps gives us a Fade to Black remix if you haven't already done one - I'd love to hear a newer outro solo of that song. I always watch the "Cunning Stunts" version because that sounds so much better than the CD.
Daniel Thompson Agree on both counts. I’d buy this dude’s mixes. Just awesome. And the FTB outro is one of my fave moments in all music.
amazing job!
This is incredible man 👌🏻😂👍🏻
These are so good, you’re gonna make guitarraze come out of retirement
Indeed!!😂🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I would like to see a matchup between them 🤘
Jason VanWinkle what if it’s guitarraze trolling us and it’s really him lol
@@thesaturnsound I wouldn't be surprised 😂 these tones are quite close to the original just like raze!
Jason VanWinkle yes! I think so too man. Aw well, more good ass music for us
You should do Load or Reload material black album or And Justice for All style.
Dude the most popular rock station in Romania posted an article about this (based on Metal Injection’s story). your fanbase is really growing!
The tone on everything is near spot on! This is awesome!
nice job !
enter sandman on master of puppets would be cool too
@@austinbramer558 he did master of puppets on black album which is the biggest hit on that album so i thought that it would be nice if he remade the biggest hit on the black album(enter sandman) with master of puppets album style
That would be great
Every song on black album sounds good
This really is the best out of all these ''What if metallica'' versions... so good and heavy.
Outstanding man!!!!!
This sounds more like a Hardwired rework to me.
Here's a REAL chanllenge: anything from the first three albuns on Load. :D
Everything here is mixed perfectly, James voice is noticeably lower, the drums are more consistent, just like if it were on the black album.
Great job dude
I love so much the drum on that amazing work
