- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- I've listened to a lot of Metallica on this channel, and know that I've only heard a small section of their total discography (Unforgiven 2 and 3 are coming, I promise). And the covers I've heard Chris Stapleton sing have been absolutely mind blowing for me. So what happens when he covers "Nothing Else Matters"? I didn't know, so I had to check it out!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Chris Stapleton performing "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica for the first time.

Spot on about Firefly. This would have been perfect for that show. Mal's attitude about anything outside his ship and his crew does not matter.
Damn, I thought I was the only one who would think that! Dead on!
Someone just had to bring up Firefly. I am still pissed at Fox for canceling that series!
@@alankott3129😂 Yes!
I can’t believe that there is a reaction video with so much content, that I absolutely love:
Chris Stapleton
Nothing Else Matters
Firefly ❤
Only Dimash is missing 😅
Shiny!
@@alankott3129 Im mad at Fox for playing its episodes out of order, leaving people confused as to just what the show was about and how someone who was killed last week was suddenly alive the next, which LEAD to the show being cancled.
A song that James Hetfield was reluctant to bring to the rest of the band. Initially, the song was not meant to be released, as Hetfield had written it for himself, but after drummer Lars Ulrich heard it, it was considered for the album. Elton John called it one of the best songs ever written. Now the song has 138 artist covers. For me, I'll stick to the original by Metallica.
🤘
I didn't know this song wasn't originally slotted for release. I'm glad they released it because it makes you feel things you wouldn't expect to feel from listening to Metallica. I'm fine with both the original version and the Chris Stapleton version because they're the only versions I know, and they're both awesome.
My favorite version is when they preformed it with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, it's still epic!
@@Jymbroni I'll have to check that version out.
@@ColtonRMagby the Gregorian one is pretty impressive. 4-5 vocals harmonizing. I think voice play does a cover too, but don't tell CV.
This song would've been perfect for Sons of Anarchy. If it was still on the air. This song captures the spirit of that show so much.
Oh you nailed that one! Never watched it when it was actually in syndication but FX had the whole series on some years ago and I taped all of them and got to binge watch the entirety in a few months time. I was sad when it was over, but I think it was much cooler to be able to run through it like that. Incredible show. I do have to say there was a lot of nights I would look up and it would be five or 6:00 in the morning because I couldn't quit watching it 😂
I said the same thing the first time I heard it!
My thoughts also..... SOA and/or Firefly/Serenity
I thought the same thing about SOA. But I would also say it would have worked well in Supernatural.
@@mariebishop7357 Agreed. I believe the original Metallica version was played on Supernatural. But this version would fit as well. Also, have you seen the show The Leftovers? it's a highly underrated show. A cover version of "Nothing Else Matters " by Apocalyptica is played during the opening scene of a pivotal episode. It's so haunting and it fits the show perfectly. Check the song out when you get the chance.
I love the interview with him where his wife said Chris is the best at messing songs up in the most beautiful way.
Firefly was such a great show, so sad we didn't get more seasons - Agree that this song would have been great on there.
Firefly Lane? Or is there also a show called Firefly? I saw Firefly Lane starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke and besides being a nice story, since the girls grow up in the 70s, there's a lot of nice 70s imagery, including music from that time, as well as the 80s and onwards.
@@russellspear6188Firefly. Western in space starring Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, et al. Most excellent show. Only lasted like 13 episodes but also spawned a movie called Serenity.
I'm in the minority that is somewhat happy it was cancelled early rather than being dragged out too long like other Joss Whedon shows, but still too early.
Capt Mal and Browncoats. Stay shiny
You can't take the sky from me.
My favorite Brown Quote: I want to go to the crappy town where I am a hero. XD
Chris can do no wrong. His voice is gives me chills no matter what he sings. I am a metalhead, but the way I cried when I saw Chris Stapleton live because of the way his voice just speaks to my soul was something else. There's so many amazing songs you could analyze of his on here but it's impossible to put into words just how unfathomably talented he is. He is on a whole different level than almost anyone making popular music today. He is a true force of nature.
❤
We played this song (Metallica's version) at my brother's funeral, so I was a bit hesitant to listen to this cover honestly. Chris really did this song justice however. Glad that I listened 👍
❤❤❤FIREFLY!!! Stop it Elizabeth, we are at the peak of loving you already, you are torturing us with the reveal that you are a browncoat too! ❤❤❤
The expression in your face, Pure Joy....Beautiful
As usual
Chris Stapleton is one of the greatest artists of our time. There isn't anything that he can't do. He would have fit into any generation of music
agreed, and i'm NOT a country fan!! But this guy is amazing! the Ray Charles of country
Chris Stapleton is one of the greatest artists of all time, let alone of our time.
@@donmitchell566Chris Stapleton isn't country though. He does country music, he does blues music, he does soul music, he does southern rock music. The genre that he fits into is Chris Stapleton.
No lie, firefly is one of the greatest shows ever and was dropped way too soon. My daughter’s middle name is “Jayne” from that show. Only because my wife wouldn’t get on board with the name River haha
That’s a shame, both are lovely names though🩵. It’s my husband and my mother’s fave fave fave show. I enjoy it too, but it was so special to them. I just lost my mother in May and it’s been incredibly painful, but I have such fond memories of this show through so many people. It’s like a blanket.
Though my husband and I are massive nerds. I have a Star Wars chest piece and he has his own nerd tattoos along with his military ones.
I have a 9 year old named Inara.
I sometimes imagine which songs would fit in to certain scenes from movies or shows, too! What a dream job that would be!
I was playing grand theft auto. I imagined if they had metallica on the radio. With some of their song titles or lyrics as titles of missions. Fight fire with fire, scanning the scene of the city tonight....(part 1 of a mission), looking for you to start up a fight (part 2), you'll be dying a thousand deaths (part 3), seek and destroy. Unforgiven could be a mission after being betrayed. I had more but you get the point
I can't imagine you doing any job that isn't linked to music. It's your gift to the world.
🌍❤️🔥
Absolutely - 100%. You have a gift and music is medicine for all of our souls. There is no bad music - everyone interprets and needs all genres at some point in your life. It’s universal. Well…maybe mumblecore is the exception, can’t really get into that…ever
@@Pedal2_the_Metal
Mumblecore, that's a new one on me. I'll check it out.
@@Pedal2_the_Metal
Wow, that was a deep dive. I checked mumblecore on Spotify and the playlist had the Smiths' 'Panic' on it. Then Wikipedia said that mumblecore is a film style. Then I Googled mumblecore music and it said that it was mumbled electronica. 🤔🤣
I don't always listen to Chris Stapleton, but when I do, Nothing Else Matters.
Best comment of the day
I love the Firefly reference. . . . but now I'm associating you with Kaylee.
Now I wanna hear Elizabeth say: Shiny Captain.
Great song choice to react to. Long time follower, and it's been incredible watching you grow. Keep on keepin on! 👏👏👏🙌 and yes all the love for Firefly!
Worked all day, showered, food & a new vid from my fav YTuber . It’s therapeutic to watch other lovers of art enjoy creation, expression of this wild journey we are on. Thank you very very much Mrs. CharismaticVoice
My downtime too, having a beer, chill at the end of the day watching this. New Zealand here so end of day for us now
Hit the nail on the head with it fitting firefly.
Totally!
Firefly was awesome; I wish there were more seasons.
Chris Stapleton would do such an awesome Bond song.
Chris Stapleton, he could sing the phone book and I would still be captivated. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I came here to say this exact thing!!❤
Lol my wife literally said this very thing, and I agree with her! :-)
What a performance.. again from Chris Stapleton.
The darkness in this song is scary but beautiful
He knows how to put emotion and feelings in his music like no one else
I can really appreciate when a performer does a cover but really makes it in their own distinctive style.
A great example of this would be Legacy, the tribute album to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors. Each song is done in the cover artists style rather than just remaking the original. Some great stuff there!
FIREFLY!!!!!!
Soil is a better word than dirt. Dirt is what you track in the house. Soil is the diverse material filled with organic matter and minerals that support life. 😊
That is such a geologist, farmer, or driller answer. Geologist who grew up on a farm and worked on a driller rig here.
@@scottmarshall5242 I was a crop scientist specializing in weed biology, ecology, and management. Lol
Chris was also in the VERY successful bluegrass band, The SteelDrivers, as well as a rock band named The Jompson Brothers BEFORE venturing into a solo career! In both groups, Chris was the lead singer as well as writing a majority of their songs.
Vocalist for present day Steel Drivers trys his best to sound like Chris, but no cigar.
Chris Stapleton at the Country Music Awards with Dua Lipa was epic. The melody is his wife. You can tell he truly loves her. ❤️
Chris Stapleton is a vibe!
Kick Ass cover !!!
Metallica should be proud of this interpretation of their Rock Classic !!
Firefly!!!! One of the greatest sci-fi/fantasy shows that was cancelled way too soon. Might need to find it and watch it again. Thank you. Love the channel!
Stapleton is an absolute BEAST
This would fit perfectly in the Yellowstone series.
I could talk about the song, but can we all just sit and nerd out about Firefly and Serenity for the next hour?
Firefly/Serenity are on my top 10 list.
I own the DVDs, and rewatch them many many times
You just scored so many “Awesome” points by mentioning my all-time favorite show, Firefly!!! I had no idea you were a fellow Browncoat! I would love to hear you react to Adam Baldwin singing the Hero Of Canton song from Jaynestown!
Have you listened to his bluegrass when he was a member of the SteelDrivers? Top notch stuff.
Firefly is an excellent show, I absolutely loved it.
:40 seconds in and Stapletons tone is the quintessential fender tone. Perfect. Chimey. Wavy. He knows how to get that sound drawn perfectly out of that jazzmaster and Princeton amp.
I love when a song can be transformed by what the covering artist(s) can bring to the table. Especially when genres look like they would otherwise clash on paper. Just a different voice can change everything sometimes
Notable examples:
* Johnny Cash - ‘Hurt’
(originally by NIN)
* Sylvette - ‘Right Where It Belongs’
(originally by NIN)
* Chris Cornell - ‘Billie Jean’
(originally by Michael Jackson)
* I Prevail - ‘Blank Space’
(originally by Taylor Swift)
* Troy Baker/Ashley Johnson - ‘Wayfaring Stranger’
(originally by Johnny Cash)
And Disturbed's cover of "The Sound Of Silence"
Yeah, I definitely dig the Chris Cornell mention, when I first heard he was doing it I sort of cringed, then I heard it, and my mouth dropped.
@@threecedarshomestead1330and Disturbed's cover of the Genesis song Land of Confusion.
Another one is Harry Nilsson covering Badfinger's Without You. I honestly prefer the Badfinger version, but the Nilsson version is astounding.
❤❤❤ Firefly. Pisses me off they cancelled it.
Chris's guitar work is really fun in this as well...2 of my favorites combined.
I feel like he is such a beyond exceptional vocalist, people forget how good of a guitarist he also is.
Oh my god. You’re the first person I've heard even say that they've seen firefly. I love that show 😍
As a beer somelier/brewer/musician I have many times thought about music/drink pairings. I would love to hear your pairings, and will definately bring my own music/drink pairings when you do.
You just earned extra points with me referencing "Firefly"!!
I don’t listen to Chris Stapleton normally however this song is on my playlist ❤ and also I have heard some of his other music and dude can sing!
As a prior chef and a vocalist, the pairing idea is beautiful, and kind of a tactic some restaurants utilize to set the mood of the room!
I love watching your journey through different music genres and bands, it is inspiring to see you step out and discover new music.
Currently grooming a Pandora station with Black Label Society, Alice in Chains, Bob Segar, Chris Stapleton, The Distillers, Icona Pop, and Outkast. It's like hearding cats, but it's starting to mature into one of the greatest stations I've ever made. So many awesome artists and songs being drawn in. Thing i like about Chris Stapleton is, just like Bob Seger songs, I love to sing his songs out loud with matched energy when driving........alone of course.
Firefly!!!! Who doesn't love space cowboys/pirates?
I really like this. It is different enough to be significant instead of being a copy of a great song.
Okay, girlie (I'm nearly 73, so that term is one of affection), as much as I admire you for what you do and who you are, you just went up several notches for mentioning your love of Firefly. Finding out that we share another love besides music...to me that makes us kin, young'un.
As to this analysis, I think you are spot on.👍
I nearly didnt watch this as i love the original so much, but this is great but what made it worth the watch was you mentioning firefly - shiny!! One of the best shows ever. Nathan Fillion and Alan Tuduk fabulous! We were lucky in the Uk as it was shown in its correct order. What a waste it wasnt given more credit and more seasons, so much great stuff got lost during all the writers strikes, thank goodness us Browncoats got our Serenity, 'im a leaf on the wind.....'
Request - BREAKING BENJAMIN - Breath
(I'm not sure if you'll see this, Elizabeth, but I've always wondered if you listen to the full song after your analysis and before you record your final thoughts. Just curious! 😊)
Definitely one of the best vocal songs for breaking Benjamin, perhaps something on the soft side is forget it. But all phobia is great too!
the live version one?
@@soyjoy5258 For me, I like the studio version or the official music video.
Elizabeth, speaking of covers, please at some point listen to "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger. Then follow immediately with Metallica's cover of that song. They are both so amazing and deserve a deep dive. You won't be disappointed!
“It’s beyond me”…when it comes to evaluating Chris Stapleton, what else can one say? Well stated.
Sinead O'Connor's recording is the Prince's "Nothing Compares To You" is the definitive version of that song. Rare as it is for a cover version to eclipse the original artist it is even rare still for another cover to stand up with the artist who made the definitive cover. Chris Stapelton's cover of "Nothing Compare's To You" the night Prince died is one of those rarer covers.
As an old guy that went through the 80s as a teen, I notice 4 songs that really define that era that you have not reviewed. Might be for good reasons, but these are mandatory listens if you want to understand any Gen-Xer. In reverse order: Quiet Riot “Cum on feel the noise”, Billy Idol “Rebel Yell”, Frankie Goes to Hollywood “Relax”, and Twisted Sister “We’re not gunna take it”. Top three I strongly suggest the music videos which also helps explain Gen-X. You do a fantastic if job in a very entertaining manner. Thank you.
Love Firefly and was extremely disappointed when the show was canceled. Was excited for the movie but let down when they didn’t make anymore. One of the greatest TV series ever.
If you love songs covered in different genres you should listen to Kasey Chambers ( an Australian country music icon) cover of Eminem’s “ lose yourself “. An amazing song in its own right but Kasey’s version emphasises the true emotions
I just listened to this. Holy. Crap.
Personally it’s your channel creating quality content. Pause it where you want. I usually watch your analysis then go back and listen on the artists channel. I almost always hear something you’ve pointed out that I hadn’t really heard. It’s hearing it with new ears
As a rock guy, I find Zac Brown to be THE BEST county crossover guy/ band ever!
They're all just cliches.
Firefly! Yes, this would be perfect for that. Now I have to go watch it again.
German chocolate cake description was great! Love your channel! Always so excited to see when you post a new reaction. I've learned a lot about vocals and music! THANK YOU!
Country music (which I never listen) has done some amazing covers - this and Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt are *AMAZING*. More of these please!
The Metallica version makes you feel thing no other Metallica song does, and Chris Stapleton's version is a prime example of how to do a cover CORRECTLY.
It's pretty plain though.
@@johnc7512 So is the Honda Vakyrie.
I don't know about that, 'Fade to Black' off of their 'Ride The Lighting' album has that same vibe but not so polished.
@@WaymoresBlues I've heard worse songs from other musicians.
Would like to see a reaction video for Volbeat. Perhaps Lola Montez, For Evigt, Lonesome Rider? I really enjoy Michael Poulsen's voice in any song he sings.
Okay. After hearing you mention "Firefly" and seeing how every other comment is talking about how great it is has convinced me that I might need to start a binge fest.
You should listen to The Warning’s cover of Enter Sandman it’s so good they make it their own. Metallica asked them to be on the Blacklist album
*Try the "Enter Sandman" -- version of ApocalypticA.....* 💿🔊🎵🔥
The warning does many great covers and their original songs are good too.
@@ryanbrandt5404TW originals are flippin fastastic.
Chris Stapleton tiene una voz alucinante y algo que no consiguen todos por muy bien que canten, y es que transmite y emociona.
Two Firefly references in the first 3 comments has me super interested in the first 20 seconds.
But I'm here to say I am not a particular blues fan and really not a country fan, I grew up on 80s & 90s metal. But I now have a Chris Stapleton Spotify playlist, I'll be paying more attention to styles outside my comfort zone
This is so more emotional than the original.
I loved this analysis. Please do another "getting drunk" video with something like Who let the Dogs Out or Mambo number 5.
I was extremely hesitant to listen to this cover. I usually avoid covers of songs that i love. But with it being Chris Stapleton i had to hear it. He is truly remarkable. The way he made it his was incredible. It felt like it was his song. I missed the guitar solo from the original but the solo at the end by Chris made up for it. So much soul. So much feel. Such a great cover.
The fact that you love Firefly raises your coolness by an order of magnitude, and proves that you do indeed have a happy, Shiny Spirit!
Browncoats!!!!
Try band called Volbeat, and song Fallen. It's a song for vocalists late father. Try live from beyond hell above heaven, very emotional. Also great song is Lola Montez or For Evigt. This band sounds better live than in studio.
I agree with you about this being perfect for Firefly. I can see it being played in a season finale while they're fighting their way out of an Alliance ambush, with flash backs to the Unification War, with no sound but the song playing.
This video reminds me of the documentary “Koyaanisqatsi” with music by Philip Glass. This video, as well as the guitar at the end, would fit right in with it! ❤️🎶
Making us love different music more and Firefly nerding out. Nicely done, Elizabeth.
Can we upvote a suggestion I think she'd like?
Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony - Unforgiven III. Watching the video provides not only visual vocals but really brings in the orchestra. She'd be great breaking this one down y'all!
have you done any of metalica's covers of other songs, like turn the page by bob seager. or whiskey in the jar.
Killer cover! Adding to my music mix. Thx TCV!
When Death Calls by Black Sabbath with the great Tony Martin on vocals and Brian May from Queen on the guitar solo
I love Metallica. I love Chris. I thought this was just ok. Was definitely missing something for me.
Chris’s version of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl and his live performance with Dua Lipa are pretty incredible too.
Creative covers are the BEST!! They allow an entirely new interpretation / association for an old song❤
So glad you checked this out. This was the first Stapleton song I heard, and the bluesiness is what convinced me to check out his other stuff.
By the way, Stapleton’s work with the Jompson Brothers is also wonderful. Before he did the solo “country” stuff with the Steeldrivers, it was the rock band he sang with.
Also, since you are digging both Stapleton and Metallica, I also recommend Metallica’s “Mama Said.” A delightful foray into country from the 1990s.
17:43 I absolutely love your approach to react videos. It's refreshing to hear someone encourage their viewers to go watch the video you're reacting to. I'm going to make more effort to play any source videos from now on.
You hit the nail on the head, definitely would have worked perfectly for Firefly. If you'd like to check out the opposite idea of mixed genres, might I recommend All That Remains covering Garth Brooks The Thunder Rolls...I love when mainstream artists cover mainstream songs, it very intriguing. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great video! Would kill to see the first reaction of the Metallica guys listening to it! That was super cool! 🤟✌️👌♥️🇨🇦
Don’t forget about his time with the Bluegrass band The Steeldrivers which is where I first heard Chris singing.
This and Miley Cyrus are my two favorite covers of this song.
I’d like to buy the first copy of “The Charismatic Cookbook”!
The food and drink pairing would be awesome!
Ma'am, not comparing Chris Stapleton to smoked St. Louis style ribs is a tragedy. Smokey, perfectly spiced and rich pork. Bite-through texture but not overcooked and floppy. With a wonderfully sweet glazed bbq sauce to round it out.
Shoot, now I'm hungry.
He's probably the best artist of the generation. His songwriting is phenomenal. Then you hear him sing, and that's the most incredible soul-filled sound you can imagine. Then this dude picks up a guitar and plays on par with Jimi Hendrix.
How do you top that?
I thought FIREFLY too after the first verse!! All time favourite too :)
Morena Baccarin on Firefly is just pure 🔥❤🔥🔥
Have you considered analysing A-Ha (Summer Moved On)? Longest note ever. Glad to see you going deep into the metal journey. (Journey is another timeless band)
Absolutely love the technicals and I've learned so much.
Thank you. I have always said, if I hear a cover, I want it to be radically different from the original. It's ok but nothing new to hear a cool cover band. I want, or rather NEED your(the artist's) own spin on it to make it new, different, and add it to my playlist.
this could easily be a main backing track to either SOA (sons of anarchy) or The Punisher (netflix version w/ jon bernthal). that gritty dirty western blues with a kiss of anger that this song inhibits is masterful. there's so much power & pain in this version......absolutely incredible cover of an already timeless song that never failed to pull at the heartstrings.
Miley Cyrus - Nothing Else Matters surprised no one suggested it. One of the best tracks on this album.
Featured artists: Elton John, Andrew Watt, Robert Trujillo, Chad Smith, Yo-Yo Ma
You do a lot of analysis of tunes and versions of tunes that I care very little about, like this one for instance, and of course, that's perfectly fine. I can't expect every one of your supporters' song suggestions to resonate with my tastes. Just can't wait until you do another one that I do like. Thank-you, Elizabeth, for putting so much work (and so much heart!) into these videos. You're one of my favourite RUclipsrs, and I'm really glad you're here doing what you do, how you do it. Sending warm regards and thanks.
probably just didn't need to be said.
@@shawnamiracle5500 Maybe, but did it need to said that it didn’t need to be said?
@@emihatov I think so.
