Sure. Lars drumming is just as great. Kirk solos are so creative and technically impeccable. We still have beautifully crafted songs, with acoustic intros with multilayered guitars, bass solos, ballads and instrumentals. 72 Seasons does sound like AJFA when it comes to respect to the bass player.
Holy shit. Really shows how important production is. Metallica still makes strong riffs, its just the production that makes the songs a little too "soft" nowadays.
I am not joking. We all can fund you to create the whole album in AJFA tone. This is sick! Please don't take this lightly and don't be hasty in this decision. This is the power of Internet. We can make it happen!
Kinda like Machine Head - Burn My Eyes, I remember someone calling it "clean distortion". I don't know anything about any of that, I just know I love the way the guitars sound on AJFA and Burn My Eyes, but these days I don't hear the same type of "crunch".
Proof that their music is still top notch - Yes! But sound is much better and heavier now! Nothing is missing, there is just 35 years difference, each individual perception has changed over so many years. When AJFA was released in 1988 it was criticized a lot for lack of bass, awful drums etc. 40 Years since Metallica released Kill'Em All and they still kick ass!
@@krasimiryachev915 agreed. I've loved most of the last 3 albums with my only complaint being no instrumentals on the last 2, but everything is subjective and they are absolutely crushing it musically. As far as tones and mixing they are always going to be criticized no matter what they do. Victims of their own success. It's been that way with every single album since Master of Puppets.
I would not call it exactly "good tone", but the whole album sound aesthetics is surely unique. Would I take this guitar tone (or album mix) to myself? No. Do I dig it? Yes.
tbf, the production on 72 seasons (at least the mix anyway) was actually pretty great!! i was audibly able to hear rob's bass pretty well. That being said, if they made an album with ajfa guitar and drum tone with audible bass, i'd be stoked for that!!!!!!
Man you should hire out writing the solos and re produce the whole thing with arrangements and drum fills similar to AJFA and even MOP. There’s so many newer songs that are so close to being masterpieces if they just had better production, solos, and arrangements. Not huge changes other than solos. A lot of it is just hacking and slashing unnecessary parts of the songs like Lars retarded repeating snare for 10 seconds straight and the shittier fills. I actually wrote out all the parts on Death Magnetic that should be cut out, would’ve made the songs a lot more “listenable” imo. Sorry long response comment lol
It just shows how easily metallica could still do something like their oldest albums if they wanted to. They just don't want it anymore and that is absolutely fine. I can't imagine how dull it would be to do the same music for 40 years. Thank god they inovate and try new things. The new album is great! And great medley, thanks!
This is actually really good. It makes me think that James is still there, this riffs are definitely up to AJFA standards. Now kirks solos on the onther hand...
Beyond how authentic the tone sounds, what really brings this back to the Justice era are the tiny embellishments added to the riffs and licks. Extra triplets and hammer-ons go a long way to capturing that era. Stunning as always!
@@StateOfMercury I am not a guitar tech or whatsoever. So I am asking you what exactly did you change in order to sound it like this. Play it faster and with a different tone (like justice ) ?
Dude somehow I lost you along the way and this was recommended. Now I can listen to all your masterpieces again! This mashup is absolutely fucking disgusting 🤘🏽🔥
Kirk's phone is where all great things go to never be seen again... Please produce the entire album this way ... This is ridiculously fantasticly perfect... My teenage years returned to me in an instant
After maybe 30-40 listens of the album with the seasons, I could not appreciate those riffs, but now I finally do. Man, that medley is ''The thing that should be... but is not''. Thanks for the music-I love it!
You sir deserve a medal and a bow Your understanding of Metallic, especially AJFA quirks, is out of this world I really hope guys from Metallica get to watch your work
I am slightly disappointed that you didn't include the Chasing Light chorus riff right after the pre-chorus riff you showed. It fits here perfectly because it just oozes classic 80s godly thrash energy.
I NEVER comment usually but I just have to. this channel is probably the best thing a Metallica fan could EVER want ever. i am amazed again and again at how accurate this is
This tone is honestly gives all these songs so much more of a thrashy sound. Like I’m all for Metallica trying new sounds out and all to switch it up, but damn this justice tone is just perfect sounding.
Exactly what i was thinking yesterday, if 72’s riffs were in And Justice For All, and today I find this video! Thanks, this really shows how great actually the album is. I love it
I think the tone they used fits the album very well and is perfect for what they were going for, but this works great as well!! Makes it sound angrier for sure
Honestly, I've listened to the video you uploaded for more than the Original 72 seasons. I was 16 when AJFA was released and it's a pure and special album that holds a special place for me. Thanks again
Wow, you could easily insert Room of Mirrors into the AJFA title track and Inamorata is giving Orion vibes here. Both of them sound heavenly with the AJFA tone!
OMG, you've nailed it! The tone, the style, whole vibe of AJFA! Instant like & subscribe, and I'll join your Patreon for those IRs. Keep up the good work!
Just goes to show - if the 4 Albums and that's it crowd shut their mouth for a minute and actually listened to the songs, they just might enjoy themselves :) Another awesome video
This has to be shown to those guys. And then work backwards from there showing them the best songs from the last 3 albums. There's actually a reactor on RUclips who gave up listening to Metallica after Load. And he finally got talked into listening/reacting to some Death Magnetic songs and ended up loving them.
Album still was great, what makes it for me not amazing is Kirk’s solos, it’s a slight improvement from HTSD but not by much, however riffs, those are great
Tone is awesome, but my favorite part is how you spiced up the riffs performance-wise just a little bit. They're so much more interesting to listen to the way you played em
You really are the best at this. Your understanding of the "compositional scheme" of Justice is unmatched. Too far gone turned into Frayed Ends was awesome ahah. We will never get another Justice, but your videos are as close as it gets

AJFA guitar tones killing it once again. From the harmonies to the chugging, just absolutely 👌. Truly unfortunate that Kirk's lost phone struck again here haha
I think AJFA is Metallicas best album. There was never a more aggressive guitar sound. If 72 seasons would be more Justice-like - that would have made it better without a doubt
Why? They've done this before with Justice, but the riffs are all still there just recorded different. Also, the production is a bit different. Other than that, the riffs are all still METALLICA.
I know you hate If Darkness... but I like it, I vibe with it. Your snippet is ✨amazing✨ - I would love this song to be fully arranged in the Justice style. You just keep adding more Metallica arrangements to my personal wishlist. 🤭
I can’t like this video enough. As soon as I heard the new album I thought of and justice for all. I’m glad you did this man, sounds so good and I’m glad others hear what I hear too.

This just shows that old Metallica is still here they just sound different.

Sure. Lars drumming is just as great. Kirk solos are so creative and technically impeccable. We still have beautifully crafted songs, with acoustic intros with multilayered guitars, bass solos, ballads and instrumentals.

@@Erickhetfieldlove the sarcasm lol
Old albums: the treble goes to 11
St. Anger: ALL MID, NO BASS OR TREBLE
They're still here no doubt. Just got some grey hairs. But all in all, they're still who they are
Holy shit. Really shows how important production is. Metallica still makes strong riffs, its just the production that makes the songs a little too "soft" nowadays.
That was exactly my thought
Exactly
Thank you for really breaking it down and spelling it out for the morons.
exactly!
Yeah Metallica production is very tone deaf to long time Metallica fans. It’s surprising people realized this.
I am not joking. We all can fund you to create the whole album in AJFA tone. This is sick! Please don't take this lightly and don't be hasty in this decision. This is the power of Internet. We can make it happen!
I Would pay for it
@@fatal-et me too
I would definitely pay for this !
Me too
Yeah yeah...
I don't know what it is with Justice tone that makes harmonies sound so godly
very much agree
Rasmussen.
Motherfucking TREBLE
Kinda like Machine Head - Burn My Eyes, I remember someone calling it "clean distortion". I don't know anything about any of that, I just know I love the way the guitars sound on AJFA and Burn My Eyes, but these days I don't hear the same type of "crunch".
It's the fact that there's about 1000 layers to the guitars 😂
Damn I thought that Too Far Gone was just Frayed Ends. Amazing tone
Yea with this tone, wow, Too Far Gone is even better. Fits right into AJFA.
You're right it does sound like frayed especially in justice tone
Yep. It just needed this kind of tone to stand out
Dead on! Completely agree.
It is me
Man shadows follow sounds so good, you need to release it as a full song. Proof that their music is still top notch, just the sound that's missing
Please. Ive been dying for it since you released the little snippet
72 Shitsons
Shadows follow def needs the full AJFA treatment.

@@StateOfMercury welcome to where time stands still
darkness is basically eye of the beholder and blackened.
@@kinniecas9004 no one leaves and no one will
It makes 0-0-0-0-0-0 sounds heavier, not less boring.
AJFA just has the best tone out of all albums
is the album tone of time

I would not call it exactly "good tone", but the whole album sound aesthetics is surely unique.
Would I take this guitar tone (or album mix) to myself? No. Do I dig it? Yes.

That's why AJFA is my all time favourite album . There is aggression,there is melody ,there is dark vibe ,there is goosebumps,there is seduction.
There is TEMPTATION
@@Mjandroyeah...
But there is no bass 'cause he fooking left the band...
@@Shiljamannn some creators even added bass and remastered it but tbh I enjoyed without bass.
@@Shiljamannn hot take but AJFA shows how buy and large unimportant the bass is, considering it’s a masterpiece of an album without it
Please, please, please release full covers of each song. If 72S sounded like this it’d be an instant classic that would rival the 80’s albums!
Agreed we are begging. Hell I’d pay for it
Do the whole album please
Except the solos maybe
This is pretty eye opening. The only thing that would need work are the guitar solos, which are pretty damn weak.
Man you should hire out writing the solos and re produce the whole thing with arrangements and drum fills similar to AJFA and even MOP.

this has completely changed my opinion of this record. i dont think that i can stress enough just how badly i want a whole album with this tone!
It just shows how easily metallica could still do something like their oldest albums if they wanted to. They just don't want it anymore and that is absolutely fine. I can't imagine how dull it would be to do the same music for 40 years. Thank god they inovate and try new things. The new album is great! And great medley, thanks!
There's such big nostalgia factor to this sound, all old time diehard fans would benefit from listening this, it makes you appreciate riffs more:)
for sure!🤘
72 seasons (the song) sounds so much better with this tone! Can you please do a whole cover of it?
We cry about no bass on Justice but it’s everyone’s favorite sounding album lol. I’m torn. Awesome work brother
fr
With bass, it would be perfect.
Everything we Can here on AJFA sounds soo good. Plus we have …And Justice For Jason
@@reallyscaryrob2429and justice for jason sounds like absolute shit
When i first heard Shadows Follow, i literally said to myself “This HAS to be a Justice riff”.
This video is mad, well done.
I like how the room of mirrors part is mirrored.
OMG
I didn't expect this version to sound so heavy and fierce.
It's a masterpiece.
This is actually really good. It makes me think that James is still there, this riffs are definitely up to AJFA standards. Now kirks solos on the onther hand...
lol
Kirk's solos? Wah wah wankery.
The fact that A.I. can isolate vocals now- do a full album. 😮
thank you for that riffgasm of an explosion with room of mirros again at the end. a very heartfelt moment
AFJA tone is GOATED but damn I love the fullness of the 72S sound. Love that you can actually hear Rob in most of the songs
Room of Mirrors would be an instant fan favorite if it was an 80s era song
Beyond how authentic the tone sounds, what really brings this back to the Justice era are the tiny embellishments added to the riffs and licks. Extra triplets and hammer-ons go a long way to capturing that era. Stunning as always!
That dude is giving us what we wanted from Metallica….
🙏
These are Metallica's riffs that inspired this though and they are not that far off. Think about that for a second. Metallica still have it!
More bass.
You are f@ck!ng right… god your right
@@kennybenally7187create any riff today and it sounds like multiple riffs made by others
The Inamorata part is just incredible, great job as always.
It makes me realize that they threw the fucking song away with that lame production. Here it feels a lot like to live is to die.
oh god dude that too far gone bit was phenomenal, too good
Dude everything sounds really good this is the ultimate medley
thanks!🤘
Brilliant!
This is how the tone should have been! Justice is my favorite heavy tone. from all their albums. Love it!
its a fun tone
@@StateOfMercury I am not a guitar tech or whatsoever. So I am asking you what exactly did you change in order to sound it like this. Play it faster and with a different tone (like justice ) ?
it's that hooknose producer they have running their studio now... he doesn't give two shits about their sound's brand so long as he makes his shekels
Wow the switch from left handed to right handed was seamless
The harmony section in "Room of Mirrors" is so good. Listening to it the first time felt like experiencing the golden era of Metallica the first time.
Holy sh*t dude. I just transported back to high school listening to AJFA on my Sony disc- man in amazement of those riffs. This is amazing. Thank you!
Those harmonies, man those harmonies! It's as if they were made for AJFA in mind!
Dude somehow I lost you along the way and this was recommended. Now I can listen to all your masterpieces again! This mashup is absolutely fucking disgusting 🤘🏽🔥
I feel like I'm being gaslit into thinking these songs were on AJFA all this time. This is incredible bro.
