I would like to request If Motörhead Wrote Learn To Fly. I can’t really imagine that the melody would change that much, but I’m certain it would sound amazing.
Definitely need a Metallica version of Sharp dressed man. I can just hear James Hetfield singing "Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man "YEAH!!!"
I guess this will get lost in the sea of compliments, but I really appreciate the vision and creativity and work it took to produce this. It's a fantastic album.
now that I’m in my 50’s my music tastes are changing.. blues, rock, southern rock and old country have taken the lead over metal and thrash - this was really lots of fun to listen to, thanks for all the hard work and sharing your kick ass skills
I'm 37 and neutral to both. Twenty years from now I can see this as my go 2 album to relieve my anxiety and let go of whatever shit I go through by then.
This is an amazing example of just how much DNA the blues, rock, and metal share. I was expecting Seek and Destroy to be especially good in ZZ's style, and you did not dissapoint. Great job guys. 👍👍
Ever just scroll through RUclips and stumble onto a random video that ends up being even better than you hoped it would be? This is one of those videos.
I'm a lifelong ZZ Top fan and a drummer for more than 30 years... I think Frank Beard is underrated!! Who played the drums for this?? They did a great job of capturing Frank's style!! 👏👏👏
ZZ Top are massively underrated, every album is full of great songs, and their "hits" are completely unrepresentative of their range. And you don't get any of that without a rock solid drummer.
Amazing Bro! Growing up ZZ Top was my Dad and Uncles favorite band and Metallica was mine. This combined them both and I was blown away!!! Thank you!!!
From twisted mind comes great music and art, someone thought of it and others thought they were crazy. And now we get to enjoy different interpretations of greatness
This is amazing. To do a song like this is one thing but to completely commit to doing the entire album is a whole other level of commitment. It's Great. You (guys?) are crazy as hell.
Holy Shit. The ONLY thing that could make this completely perfect is if Dusty and Cliff were physically here to play also. Denis you never fail. Thank you for keeping memories alive and kicking ass constantly 🤘🤘🤘
The funny thing is that Dusty and Cliff were like completely opposite in their playing styles. It wpuld be cool to hear what Cliff would play on a couple ZZ Top songs.
This has such an underrated toughness to it. Letting the beats slowed down, gives more oomph to those riffs. This is such a great idea. What if ZZ Top covered these epic metal albums? This is some real wild west shit. Great job.
Phenomenal and I’ll be honest with you the engineering and mix sounds great. Cliff Burton would be absolutely pleased with the amount of bass that’s being put into each one of these songs volumize beautiful.
ZZ Top is my favorite style of yours, because it was always a dream of mine to hear rock versions of metal songs. I was worried that you wouldn't do it again - so hearing the entire "Kill 'Em All" album rock'd-up is a great surprise!!
Words cannot truly express my enjoyment of this video. As a lifelong fan of ZZ Top . . and I confess not that much of a Metallica fan, but there are a few songs of theirs that I do love heaps . . I always unconsciously put my own stamp on everything I perform live at my gigs as a covers act playing Blues-Rock classics with backing tracks providing bass and drums etc while I play live lead and rhythm guitar and sing in my gravelly voice. I've been told that I sound like a one-man ZZ Top. I've had the whole Marshall JMP-1 thing happening for the past 25 years, and was really happy to read somewhere that Billy Gibbons had taken to using it in his live and studio rigs as well. And of course I gotta compliment you on your vocals. You have both Billy and Dusty's vocals down pat. No mean feat!! You really do have that authentic ZZ Top sound, right to the last squealer. I just liked and subscribed so I can find your material again. Thank you so much for providing this for free on RUclips. There have been other tribute albums dedicated to both Metallica and ZZ Top over the years, like Sharp Dressed Men for example, but nothing that made my hair stand up straight like this album does.
ZZ Top might have called it “Kill Y’all”. Cliff Burton loved ZZ Top so I know he would have really enjoyed this. I’d love to hear you do Reign In Blood ZZ Top style!
This is so beyond excellent and genius that I immediately subscribed. I wish there were a dollar button here, I'd pay for this marvel without thinking. Just shut up and take my money!
Wonderful that you did the whole album! Absolutely crazy amount of talent to pull it off and blend the styles so well together. It kinda proves how much blues there is in heavy metal. Metallica needs to react to this! 🤘🏼
Oh shit, I'm impressed❗ No, really I'm totally speechless❗🙊 Wow, you guys are good, you really did justice to "Kill 'em all" ZZ Top style, thumbs up 👍😀
Wow, great job! One of the best things I've seen on the internet in a while. You technically wrote an album and just used their lyrics, lol. Nice job bro
I just wanted to say, this is amazing. It runs the gauntlet between utterly ridiculous, to just madcap genius and you've done both bands proud. This is so good. I love it. Anesthesia was a real turning point for me. Wonderful. And it's great you got it on streaming. I've now "loved" you on Qobuz and added your music to my library, thank you.
I used to like Metallica. In later years I grew to love ZZ Top. This is just brilliant, I never liked this record but played like this it slaps. Salute!
This shits going on my play list right now. This is f'n killer! Seriously, I would buy that cd. Four Horsemen and Seek& Destroy are awesome and the way y'all did Anesthesia would make Cliff proud.
Man, this is great. Most of your videos are good, but you out did yourself on this one. Hopefully you will do some more ZZ Top wrote videos or a whole series.
Wow, really really good! Some of the best ZZ Top riffs they never wrote… curious how a metallicafied La Grange would sound… thanks, enjoyed it a lot, greetings from Germany 👍🤘
Only on The Four Horsemen now and its awesome! I can't help but think The Mechanix would have been even more appropriate for a ZZ Top cover, considering the lyrics! Keep up the kickass work, brother!
Incredible... You nailed it again. ZZtop I am sure would approve, as their sound will carry on for decades with this excellent recreation of their legendary sound. Thanks Brother

You left out: "Blitzkrieg" and "Am I evil".
@@PeterSTIHL Those were on a special edition re-release.
I think you need a bigger challenge. The band Lovebites ZZ Top style would be something.
As a fan of both Metallica and ZZ Top, this is incredible
For real. I thought I'd click off the video after a minute but I got drawn in and listened to the while damn thing. 😅
Yeah!!! ❤
Agreed! A bit of “Sheik” in “Hit The Lights”!? I love it!
I agree !

@@DenisPaunaThank you for the info! Amazing job btw!! Cliff, who was a huge ZZ Top fan, would have _loved_ this
@Purpleskyshorizon He also was a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan.
Awesome I need this
@@perpetualbystander4516 another mashup??
Definitely need a Metallica version of Sharp dressed man. I can just hear James Hetfield singing "Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man "YEAH!!!"
or a Motörhead version ;)
Moronic productions might do something like that
YEAH! I love it :)
Chrome Division recorded a pretty good version IMO
What about if Death wrote Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar display of power, Far Beyond driven, The great souther trendkill?
I would love to sit at a bar counter, low light, drinking a good bourbon, or a beer, relaxing and listening to this whole set live.
Completely, i thought the same, this would be a new level of tribute bands, a "Mix Tribute Band" or something like that.
I got some tickets for you!
A-HAH-HAH-hah...with some nice gals
@@dallesamllhals9161 I'm married. Better take her with me hahaha. I leave the pretty girls to you ;)
@@sidnei-siqueira La Grange = Only for singles? i did not know that 😛 Harh-Harh-harh...
This makes me wonder what the members of both bands would think of this
Cliff Burton & Dusty Hill are jamming along up in heaven
I think they'd both love it!
Metallica trying to make more money.
Indeed...
@SarahSchoonover grow up with that whole sell out bs.
Both bands need to hear this. This is awesome! RIP Cliff and Dusty!!!
Excellent ; that "Seek and destroy" version is killer.... Next step : "Reign in blood" 🙂
definitely my fav out of all of them. envisioning billy and dusty actually doing this version. live and music vid to go with......
Right? I love the ZZ style Seek and Destroy riff!
This sounds way better than it has any right to.....Wow! Great job guys!
'Guy', right? It's just one dude, it seems.
@@bidipboyeah, that’s what I thought. Looks like it to me
I guess this will get lost in the sea of compliments, but I really appreciate the vision and creativity and work it took to produce this. It's a fantastic album.
Both ZZ and Metallica have played a huge part in my guitar playing so I absolutely fucking love this, this is brilliant
The biggest takeaway from projects like this should be that a good song is a good song regardless of how it's presented.
now that I’m in my 50’s my music tastes are changing.. blues, rock, southern rock and old country have taken the lead over metal and thrash - this was really lots of fun to listen to, thanks for all the hard work and sharing your kick ass skills
Same❤
I'm 37 and neutral to both. Twenty years from now I can see this as my go 2 album to relieve my anxiety and let go of whatever shit I go through by then.
Never...50's here, thrash, progressive, speed metal all the way.. lol
Awesome! And now, what if Metallica wrote "Eliminator"? I can't wait to hear it.
I'm sure Denis can do it!
Every girls crazy bouta sharped dress mayaaaaaaaaaayhaaan...yeaaaaaa aaaahhh
@@careful...Icarus xD
@acecourage1487 That is the best ZZ Top song ever. Would be epic to do it Reload Style.
This is why you ask an old guy (they know wassup.)
This is an amazing example of just how much DNA the blues, rock, and metal share. I was expecting Seek and Destroy to be especially good in ZZ's style, and you did not dissapoint. Great job guys. 👍👍
One second into the first guitar lick and I already knew: I'm gonna love this.
Yup
the title was enough fer me haha
Ever just scroll through RUclips and stumble onto a random video that ends up being even better than you hoped it would be? This is one of those videos.
Jesus man....did you just have a month to kill off or something? F'n great stuff!
He had a month to Kill ‘Em All…
I'm a lifelong ZZ Top fan and a drummer for more than 30 years... I think Frank Beard is underrated!! Who played the drums for this?? They did a great job of capturing Frank's style!! 👏👏👏
I agree!! Everything in your comment, totally agree.
ZZ Top are massively underrated, every album is full of great songs, and their "hits" are completely unrepresentative of their range.
And you don't get any of that without a rock solid drummer.
You're right!! I'm drummmmming for 50 years and Frank Beard belongs to the finest rrrrrock-drummers of all time.
Drums are likely programmed.
I can definitely hear James Hatfield singing under pressure from ZZ Top. Man you just got to do it..
That amazing and unmistakable "nobody but ZZ Top" bass line anchors every cut, just as did Dusty's. RIP, Bro...
That arrangement for Seek & Destroy makes it one of my favourite covers of that song ever.... you've outdone yourself with these songs. Amazing!
reminds me a bit of beer drinkers an hellraisers.. in 1.5x speed. 😄
Yeah first to check out,
went straight for Seek and Destroy
Great version 👌🏼
Suits very well
it just screams ZZ-TOP
*Proof that arrangement and producer / production is everything.* You can make most any song metal, punk, or ZZ Top blues rock.
My God! Speeches, goosebumps, stunned! Criminally underrated. Metal master title unlocked 🤘Mr. Denis deserves a statue in the Metal Hall of Fame
you aint shitting..this dude can kill it..
funfundffun og så en aalborgtuborg.
I’d honestly pay for this cover album, one of my 2 fave bands mashed together. This is really good man!
I would too!! #shutupandtakemymoney
As a long time ZZ Top & Metallica fan, I can tell you that you nailed this brother! Love all the little nods to many ZZ Top classics within these!
What about if Death wrote Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar display of power, Far Beyond driven, The great souther trendkill?
You Killed it Dennis Wish I Could Do Something like This Been Playing 48 YRS. Original Nuclear Assault Guitarist
Finally, 45mins on RUclips that's not a waste of time. Thanks for this. 🔥
LOL
Amazing Bro! Growing up ZZ Top was my Dad and Uncles favorite band and Metallica was mine. This combined them both and I was blown away!!! Thank you!!!
Dude you have a beautifully twisted mind. This is killer!❤
From twisted mind comes great music and art, someone thought of it and others thought they were crazy. And now we get to enjoy different interpretations of greatness
DUDE! only one song in and this is amazing... Hit the Lights sounds like a true ZZ Top classic.
This is amazing. To do a song like this is one thing but to completely commit to doing the entire album is a whole other level of commitment. It's Great. You (guys?) are crazy as hell.
Denis - Just discovered this. It's beyond incredible. Great job mate!
Holy Shit. The ONLY thing that could make this completely perfect is if Dusty and Cliff were physically here to play also. Denis you never fail. Thank you for keeping memories alive and kicking ass constantly 🤘🤘🤘
The funny thing is that Dusty and Cliff were like completely opposite in their playing styles. It wpuld be cool to hear what Cliff would play on a couple ZZ Top songs.
sees link. wtf this looks awesome. clicks link. gets totally astounded and blown away. day has been made
Fantastic! I hope that either ZZ Top or Metallica see this.
Your work will not go unnoticed. Great stuff if i wanna revisit these classic but with a different touch on em then i know where to go.
Huge thanks!
it's insane how good this is
That Seek and Destroy is my Favorite what a killer version!! Keep up the Amazing work ❤
Please, please make this a CD! Even if I have to buy it directly from you. I want this in my car! Rock it, brother! 🤘
if you get yourself a cd burner you can easily download the whole video, chop it in any free audio software and DIY
That's a whole bucket of licensing fees nobody in their right mind would want to deal with
@locatolaka yep that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
This has such an underrated toughness to it. Letting the beats slowed down, gives more oomph to those riffs. This is such a great idea. What if ZZ Top covered these epic metal albums? This is some real wild west shit. Great job.
I totally agree!! All these songs translated perfectly into ZZ Top songs! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Phenomenal and I’ll be honest with you the engineering and mix sounds great. Cliff Burton would be absolutely pleased with the amount of bass that’s being put into each one of these songs volumize beautiful.
Holy cow... now that was a HUGE video to put together, stunning job man!
Thank you so much man! It took me some time, but it was worth it! 🤘🏻😁
Absolutly outstanding man. The effort you’ve put into this is on a whole different level. The mix is spot on and the delivery is perfect. ⚡️🤘🏻
My maaan, huge thanks for such a support! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
You guys are beyond amazing! This is an absolute work of art!!!! Not sure Billy Gibbions could have done any better!!!!
Holy hell you mad lad! This is bonkers 😂 well done!
Huge thanks man! 🤘🏻😁
@@DenisPauna What about if Death wrote Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar display of power, Far Beyond driven, The great souther trendkill?
PLEASE DO IT!!
Absolute masterpiece. Can’t wait to show my dad this
I was jus thinkn the same thing 😂
Words just can’t explain how damn good this was my friend. Extravagant!! 🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is brilliant. I wish ZZ Top wrote every album instead of Metallica. I love the way you recreated this pre-Eliminator ZZ Top sound.
The range of this guys musical talent is crazy!!
Just like a certain three piece band from Texas I'll keep this short n sweet...
This F'n rocks dude, well done!
This is a masterpiece. One of the greatest pieces of entertainment to come out of 2023. ❤️
This is a very strong album. Incredibly impressive.
Great work as usual, Denis. What a world we live in.
This is an amazing work! They are covers but in this style it's like a completely new album. Great! Outstanding!
Right? I'd love to see a band hit the stage and play THIS. It would blow the roof off the joint! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
ZZ Top is my favorite style of yours, because it was always a dream of mine to hear rock versions of metal songs. I was worried that you wouldn't do it again - so hearing the entire "Kill 'Em All" album rock'd-up is a great surprise!!

Jump in the Fire was my favorite from this album, you nailed it! excellent! BtW looking forward to more Type O Negative style covers 🔥🔥🔥
45 seconds in and I love this already. Killer my man. Killer.
Hell yeah! I'm downloading this and putting on my iPhone. I got all the good Metallica records on there, so definitely need to add this. Great job!
ZZ Top might have called it “Kill Y’all”.
Cliff Burton loved ZZ Top so I know he would have really enjoyed this.
I’d love to hear you do Reign In Blood ZZ Top style!
This is a freaking cultural milestone man! Great Job!!!!
This is so beyond excellent and genius that I immediately subscribed. I wish there were a dollar button here, I'd pay for this marvel without thinking. Just shut up and take my money!
Im not even a fan of ZZ top, but I just listened to the entirety of this, and im in awe!
I'm not a Metallica fan and I listened too. Now I am
I was expecting a simple joke. This is fucking high level stuff.
Oh my Gooood you actually did it! I loved the version of Seek & Destroy so much, now this is just beyond awesome. Rock on, Denis 🤘
Seems like a missed opportunity to call this "Hill 'Em All" but otherwise this is flawless.
Damn! Wow this is amazing. Great takes on the songs. I’d buy this album so refreshing 🤘🏻
Wonderful that you did the whole album! Absolutely crazy amount of talent to pull it off and blend the styles so well together. It kinda proves how much blues there is in heavy metal. Metallica needs to react to this! 🤘🏼
I’ve always said ZZTop was an unheralded and integral influence to all metal music
I love shit like this! Would also love to hear it turned around the other way and have some ZZ Top songs given a thrash treatment.
Oh shit, I'm impressed❗
No, really I'm totally speechless❗🙊
Wow, you guys are good, you really did justice to "Kill 'em all" ZZ Top style, thumbs up 👍😀
You gave the bass the Newstead treatment!😂
Wow, great job! One of the best things I've seen on the internet in a while. You technically wrote an album and just used their lyrics, lol. Nice job bro
So we pretty much get Motörhead? 😂 Especially "Four Horsemen". Awesome work btw!
Excellent Denis!💯 Seek & Destroy is definitely my favorite!👍
🔥🎸🔥
I just wanted to say, this is amazing. It runs the gauntlet between utterly ridiculous, to just madcap genius and you've done both bands proud. This is so good. I love it. Anesthesia was a real turning point for me. Wonderful. And it's great you got it on streaming. I've now "loved" you on Qobuz and added your music to my library, thank you.
Loving what you did with Motorbreath, such a deep groove
Dude, kill em all is my favorite Metallica album and ZZ top is one of my favorite bands... 😂 Thanks 🔥
I used to like Metallica. In later years I grew to love ZZ Top. This is just brilliant, I never liked this record but played like this it slaps. Salute!
I would pay money for this album
Can really appreciate all the time, effort and love put into this. Simply incredible. You absolutely NAILED it. Love, love, love it!
Im surprised this doesn't have a million views yet.. fantastic work!
This is a gift to humanity if you ask me
This shits going on my play list right now. This is f'n killer! Seriously, I would buy that cd. Four Horsemen and Seek& Destroy are awesome and the way y'all did Anesthesia would make Cliff proud.
Typed that before I heard Metal Militia.... add that one to the F**K
YEAH list 🤘😝
Man, this is great. Most of your videos are good, but you out did yourself on this one. Hopefully you will do some more ZZ Top wrote videos or a whole series.
Wow, really really good! Some of the best ZZ Top riffs they never wrote… curious how a metallicafied La Grange would sound… thanks, enjoyed it a lot, greetings from Germany 👍🤘
This puts a smile on my face! Well done!!!
Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers vibe. Glad you got Dusty vocals in there. :D
Very cool and bluesy, made me smile listening to it. You guys did a great job with this....
Omg I love this please keep doing this. I can't stop listening. My two favorite bands mixed this is absolutely killer.
What an awesome job you did! Super fun listen through! Any way you can now do Top em All with “Am I Evil” and “Blitzkrieg”?
Dude this is f$@kin genius, whiplash…just mind blowing..keep rocking man!
Awesome job understanding both musical styles and creating this. Fantastic results!
Only on The Four Horsemen now and its awesome! I can't help but think The Mechanix would have been even more appropriate for a ZZ Top cover, considering the lyrics! Keep up the kickass work, brother!
The arrangements are amazing! Impressive job! 🎉
Incredible... You nailed it again. ZZtop I am sure would approve, as their sound will carry on for decades with this excellent recreation of their legendary sound. Thanks Brother
I think Cliff and Dusty would dig it.
This is fucking TITZ!!!!! This is Sounds of “Southern Metal!!” The world NEEDS more of this!!!!
