Hey kids! Have you ever wondered what it would sound like if Metallica's landmark album Kill 'em All was completely major key instead of minor? I know i sure have. So to further explore, i've made major key versions of all the main riffs from the album! Sounds like James and Kirk got a little extra pep in their step.
Gear used: Suhr Modern Satin, Kemper Profiler (Amp Factory Supro profile... yeah really), Fender jazz 5 with Duncan Apollo pickups plus Sansamp (logic X Pro for the fuzz tone)
Hit the Lights
The Four Horsemen
Motor breath
Jump in the Fire
Anesthesia Pulling teeth
Whiplash
Phantom Lord
No Remorse

Thanks to everyone for watching!!! What if i told you Ride the Lightning in Major Key was coming soon?!?!?
This is crazy, I was just watching this video for the 10th time or so and I was about to suggest in the comments that you'd do another one ! Go for it dude.
Thats amazing! I would love to see that!
That would be great!
You wouldn't just be "Uncle Ben" then. You'd also be "Father/Pope Ben."
DEW IT

Kind of does remind me of the Andy Rehfeldt videos. lol
Lmao
I don't think you're James Hetfield.
More like, Nickelodeon
I'm Disney Channel and you're watching James Hetfield
This video proves why knowing your intervals is important.
What intervals?
Like 3-5-1
So Metallica in major scale is Green Day.
PookLowEnd Green Day is not nearly that riffy
Sounds nothing like green day
@@Glazeeee actually the whole thing sound like some silly skate punk stuff
More like older nofx
It was Hit The Lights that had a Green Day vibe.
sounds like no copyright music
You look like Jay and Silent Bob at the same time
This comment made me laugh hard
years ago i was in a band with a guy who constantly complained "your songs are too happy" and "you write too much in majors". having no technical knowledge about music at the time i didn't know what he was talking about but now after watching this vid i do.
The guy you were in a band with years ago sounds like a cunt.

Who knew pop punk was just old thrash metal in major key
shit someone please do downtuned pop punk and see how it sounds
This needs to happen. If my guitar skills weren't horrendous, I'd be game to try, lol
Olordrin Well, thrash is basically punk and metal
This is a good point.
Do it, please!
i started laughing like hell when you started playing seek and destroy

4:23 this one hit hard. I love the needless 3rds as well. When the original just had a single note, or maybe a 5th added, his tasteful addition of the thirds was a real feather in my eye!
Getting some King of the Hill vibes from motorbreath lmao

No vegetables is my favorite. Could actually see as a song title on a new metallica album
So if Metallica was all in major key they would basically me Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtrack
Even in minor its a THPS soundtrack seeing as whiplash was on one of the THPS games hahaha
silentriders yea thug 2 \m/
Brah...mind blown
Seek and destroy is on one of the tony hawk games lmao

sounds like the music in every sonic game
Gavin McWhirter I was just going to comment this, but I see there's no need.
*lol* me too :D
It's just a little too overall happy but yeah especially Motor Breath gives off a Green Forest vibe
Listen to the drum intro for Metallica's cover of "Helpless" by Diamond Head and then listen to Green Forest's intro. They're nearly identical.
Gavin McWhirter Seeeeeeeegaaaa
that bass is bigger than my apartment
That bass has regular dimensions, Ben is just tiny.
...just like Yoda
Jump in the Fire was hilarious, can see Andrew WK gearing up for the vocal...
It’s amazing how just raising the 3rd a half step up to the major makes the songs take on a whole different vibe…all the sudden, it sounds like NOFX

We’re riding our bikes in the city today
we're looking for you to come out and play
There’s a happy smile on your face
But it’s nothing new, you know what we have to say

saidoterodiseno Thank you for this
Hah! Fucking hilarious! :D :D :D
hehehe
That was awesome!!!!!
That's gold, Jerry, GOLD!
Great video. Had me laughing all the way through
Sounds like the late 90's - early 2000's pop punk bands xD
Sum 41 was pretty metal for pop punk, they have this one 2min song that sounds a lot like maiden lol
add some horns and you have ska.
+Fernde09 Plus two and a half Alt. Metal albums, multiple Thrash Metal songs, a guitarist who was in a reggae-influence Thrash Metal band and scarce screams over their entire discography.
I've always questioned that if they'd never put out All Killer No Filler and had more metal-esque mixing on DTLI, whether they'd be considered a metal band.
Ledzep9620 was thinking the same thing
Fernde09 Which song?
Ah yes, Mypallica's debut album: Hug Em All
Man I love watching you play, so chill and relaxed no matter how or what you’re playing. It’s a real inspiration to my own guitar journey
The best pop punk I've ever heard.
Beat me to it
@@jondilliom My thoughts exactly!
Ha! ^
Can you do Blink182 songs in minor so that we can hear some Metallica?? :)
Sega Boy look up Stevie T, he already made a video of that....
BronzDano but Stevie T only did Dammit though. We need more XD
Nathan Broke I’ve a few full blink-182 minor covers on RUclips

Dude!! I love this soooo much... hilarious.. your seriously the most entertaining guitar teacher I’ve seen... all your videos are knowledgeable, applicable, and hilarious.. thanks for the creativity, and inspiration!
Very good positive vibes on this channel. I’m going to listen to this every morning to remind myself that I can do it!
Jump in the Fun

LOL
sounds like the greatest pop punk album ever made lol
Get Fuzzy! Love the artwork Uncle Ben ❤️🤘🤜🤛
Freakin great video Ben
I realize what the difference between punk and metal is now
Cooper Gaming just thinking that
The thing is, though, there are many, many punk songs in minor.
Pop-punk* and metal. Any hardcore band past '85 is just as extreme as Kill 'Em All.
Thrash is basically punk though
Pop punk and metal*. Punk is extremely different.
why do you look like Phil Anselmo's long lost brother
Logan Boden maybe I need to have a talk with mom ...
Bill Anselmo
He's actually Phil Anselmo and Colin from CSGuitars in one person.
Logan Boden - with a little bit of practice you could look like Phil Anselmo too.
All he needs is a white sheet over himself and he'd look just like Phil Anselmo.
IT NEVER GETS OLD BEN!! LOL...I love it...
This was awesome! Subscribed!
If Metallica was a Pop Punk band. This turned "Kill 'Em All" into "All Killer, No Filler".
Fill 'em All... Mmmm...
well they did name an album "Load"
Hug 'em All
Dude! I love your channel! Even as a 20+ year player I can learn things here and there from your vids. Thats fucking awesome, and this! Ive watched this 50 times cause the idea never crossed my mind and its goddamn hysterical!
You're a great player, and hilarious. Subbed. I love the way you think, man.
That intro riff to No Remorse is so freaking badass even changing it to major doesnt take it away
It just becomes Blink 182
That is exactly what I was thinking
So you're saying Metallica is just as good as Blink 182.
@@ineurodreams To each their own... But, yeah, definitely.
@@starbelly2000Maybe if they switched to a drum machine, Travis would of never let St. Anger happen
exactly
Thanks for doing this, great job
Wow I feel this took a lot of work, thanks a million!
This is so early Sum 41.
I was thinking the same thing. Really has a pop-punk feel.
Esp no remorse, that totally sounds like a sum 41 song
Chuck is a Metallica album
dude the facial expressions made it 100× better lol (subscribed)
WCIS !!! Reminds me of Phil Anselmo
That, and the Zappa picture on the wall!
This was very amusing. Great stuff.
Fan-friggin-tastic. Nice work man.
If this was a full album, I'd listen to it
Seek and Destroy? More like Hide and Seek.
LMAO! I can only picture midgets getting off to this.
Dude you simply never cease to just slay me.... tooo freakin hilarious!!!
I love your vids man!
Hit the lights sounds like a intro to a anime cartoon
man i knew i was gonna hate how this sounds haha, good job!
you pulled about the right faces, too :D
Thank you for this man. Very fun
Major Key = Punk.
Minor Key = Thrash Metal.
In major key sounds like pop punk.
@@sapere_aude525 yah. U said that already
Punkers uses circle guitars or any colorized stuff
Thrashes uses Vs or any black stuff
the faces are killing me :D
Seek and assist was awesome! I feel I can now strongly make the argument that the heavy 'pop/punk/grunge' genre is nothing but reimagined Metallica riffs in major.
Seek & Assist 😂😂😂👍
This guy has such a bright future ahead of him! Such a positive outlook!!
Album: Care For 'Em All
Artist: Gleetallica
Label: Birthdayblast Records/Megafun Records
caress my ass balls
BLACKMETALWILL Lmao Megafun Records XD
And this is why most metal is NOT played in major keys :) Nice job
Everything has a happy vibe. It almost makes me giggle!
fantastic funny brilliant idea - thx for majorising!!!
Blink'em all
i see what you did right there
Sounds like a skateboarding video game.
Walter Marlin well the video reminds a lot of people of Tony Hawks pro skater
Had to smash the like button after the early crazy eyes, class.
you are the only youtuber that i truly love
If James Hetfield was happy.
...or liberal?
@@aqui-nohay-nadie5690 dude isn't he
@@TheHonestTerrorist no he isn't a libtard he is a Conservative with an actual brain
He said he is fed up with LA, and now lives on the countryside, hunting, chilling with his bees
@@Computertypad actually it was San Francisco
This sounds like the soundtrack to American Pie.
Dude this is awesome. It's weird, I almost feel joyful and smiley or something!
Great stuff sounds very good thanks 😊
Didn't know Metallica could be so HAPPY 🤘🏼😆🤘🏼
Now I know how Sum 41 songs are written.
and Blink 182.
This is far too complex for a band like Blink 182.
Listen to The Bitter End and then listen to Battery and see for yourself!
JamesAnderyourstruly
I agree this sounds really like Battery, and the riff in the beginning is really like Through the Never. But this is far from being like Kill ´Em All in major. The song Bitter End is just in minor, so the riffs are just like Metallicas riffs in a unchanged mode. Kill ´Em All in major sounds kind of like the radio singles from Sum 41 or Blink 182.
Yeah you're right about the tuning thing, i guess that's why i always thought that thrash metal and punk rock felt similar in some way. I could definitely see Jump in the Fire or Phantom Lord be a NOFX song or Metal Militia be a Strung Out song.
Hell yeah Uncle Ben!!!
Cheers you turned one of my favourite bands into a bowling for soup style band 😂
Would like to see you do this With Megadeths Countdown to Extinction album.
thats a great idea!
LoudNProud I second that!!👍🙂😀😀
yeah!
LoudNProud or killing is my business that would sound disgusting
Perhaps Rust In Peace or Peace Sells?
I actually feel happy and bouncy and full of positive energy after that. I want to go hug kittens now.
You, sir, have earned my sub.
It sounds like a really technical punk record. I dig it 😎
"Hit The Lights" in this key sounds like something like Green Day would do.
Interesting way to highlight a music theory concept, I used this to help my daughter understand the difference changing from major to minor key makes. Thank you
Excellent taste in gear.
Sounds so cheerful.
he needs to do every single metallica album lol this is great
1. Hit the Lights 0:10
2. The Four Horsemen 0:42
3. Motor breath 1:13
4. Jump in the Fire 1:37
5.Anesthesia (Pulling teeth) 2:12
6. Whiplash 2:42
7. Phantom Lord 3:16
8. No Remorse 3:50
9. Seek & Destroy 4:23
10. Metal Militia 5:18
The lack of a space before Anesthesia really bothers me
Steve Marston THATS the first thing that bothers you?? lol
How about someone telling us the order of songs from a LP that 100% of people in this thread know by heart!!
(at least they should)
@@BRO77TX Not only would anyone watching this video that knows the album, but Ben put the titles in each segment.
MVP, Sir.
J
Sounds very positive! ;D
That does put a smile on my face!
I love this so much!! As a fan of Metallica and other metal bands; as well as pop punk - this is a really cool thing to hear
best thing about this video is how pleased you are looking
Your eyebrow raises are awesome
Kiss ‘Em All
When your stepdad covers Metallica
Being a guitarist myself, when I saw the question the title posed, I thought, "Well, it would make the songs sound pretty happy!", but actually hearing it just made me LOL! That was great!
Haplo Teromaximus hahaha exactly same reaction
You made the entire album glam&hair metal. Sick :))
Que genialidad!!! 😂😂 gracias por tus videos!
