  • This cover goes out to my best friend Mike D!!! Thank you for pushing me to do this epic master piece. One of the hardest songs I have tracked this far as nothing in it is consistent or repeating not to mention attempting to play note for note. Big shout out and Thank You to my uncle Gene for introducing me to Metallica's ...And Justice For All album many years ago. As always Thank You all for watching. I hope you enjoy. Be sure to like, subscribe and share!!!

    No words. 🔥 P.S. Seems I am always learning something. Ya, I knew of Metallica, even if I wasn't a fan. I just started reading after seeing comments that caught my attention. Man, I never knew. Cliff Burton and the accident...he was only 24. Weirder that it was 37 years ago... unimaginable. So now I know where To Live is to Die came from. That they included some work from Cliff into the song makes it even more powerful. Sorry that I am so late Cliff... RIP 🙏❤️
