@@guillhermio.merencio4273 I just plain don’t like it. I don’t find the electric guitars gel well with the symphony. It just ends up sounding like too much noise to me. An acoustic unplugged set with a symphony would work better in my opinion.
@Shockheadd45 I agree, the tone they got from TBA is great, I always loved it along with MOP, but i just listened to MOP all the way through again and that is probs my fav tbh you can tell from each album Metallica became more perfectionist's
@@prettynoose8497 This bass player thinks it's far and away the best work they ever did. Wish Burton was on it, but it's the most interesting and cohesive album. It was almost as if they wanted to have one last great album before completely giving up.
I wasn't expecting such a different interpretation of a classic instrumental. The intro is a tearjerker, and it makes me think of everything I've been through in my life. Being physically disabled is not easy even though there are people that believe that wholeheartedly. The number of obstacles I've faced, and the amount of bad luck in many departments are too much to list. It's only now that I've started to feel like myself, and this instrumental is a reminder of that.
Off topic a little bit, in early 2017, I was in a relationship with someone I loved very much (still to this day). She opened my mind to the world. I wanted to make it work and even though we loved each other, we had very significant differences on life views, family values, etc. Anyways, once I felt the beginning of the end coming I came across this version of this song. Years have past and we haven't talked since early 2017. She's gone forever. (We are from different countries hence some of the life views). This song truly embodies the loss of love in any form. First time I've heard this song since around the time we broke up. Beautiful track.
I feel you, man. Since childhood, I just listened to the original and thought it was just badass, never really giving it the listen it was meant for. 30 years later, I listen to it much differently due to me losing my mother on 2/14/19 and the most emotional part of this song is right when the tempo speeds up and the double kick kicks in until it slows down, stops and fades out. Why? Because when the music is calm, I'm with her and conversing with her in my head and feeling a momentary sense of calm. Then, it's like she tells me that she has to go and I'm running after her, telling her to wait and wanting her to stick around a lil longer. I lose sight of her, so I stop running and I look around... and she's gone...
Damn, this was the one of the first "what if" on Metallica albums. I heard 4 or 5 years ago and i forgot it existed until youtube recomended again. Amazing piece of art
Wow that intro with the orchestral part is brilliant. and the rest is absolutely killer!! The solo was sounding EXACTLY like Hammett on the black album :) You never fail to impress with those recordings!!!
I can’t help but feel that some of the leads missing are taking away from the song. Like when the part after the first solo in the song switches to the heavy sad section before the beautiful clean part.
When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths wich men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home
Actually, the last part, from "All this I cannot..." is written by Cliff. The parts before are from a book he read, don't remember what's the name of it.
Thymerishere Truuue!!!! Too bad no song would fade into Blackened anyway, since it's the first track. Maybe he's hinting a "If Blackened was on the Black album"? That would be amazing.
Nailed it Luke. TLITD is one of my favourite Metallica song ever... and knowing what GuitarRazze is capable of, I couldn't wait for any second. Amazing work !
Empty Shell Axiom haha thanks. I was amazed at the introduction and got to say this is one of his best works. Not saying his others aren't good, but can't touch this masterpiece :)
Yet again, Guitarrazze pulls another twist we did not see coming. Gg,didn't expect this The orchestral at the beginning sound a bit similar to The Unforgiven III, which is a nice little call forward imo, but I feel like the main section would've been better if it was a tiny bit slower. The build up to the middle section is brilliant too and my god, the Middle section..........*sheer fanboying intensifies*.
I always thought that people getting chills from music was just an exaggeration until i heard 4:14 for the first time. Holy crap. One of the best guitar lines ever. This and the Orion bass solo both give me chills
These are so spot on, I'm almost convinced you keep going back in time to alternate universes where Metallica themselves recorded these songs at different times!
I remember when you released this video i was on a break in my 12 hour shift fish factory job. I often come back to listen, masterfully done. We miss you GR, hope you are adoing well.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST FOUND THIS!? To Live is to die is my favorite song by Metallica and this is right up there with the original MAN this is AMAZING!
To live is to die is my favorite song. Ever. This intro is something I have never experienced before. So fucking amazing man. GuitarRazze, you did it again. Blowing my mind one video after another. This is actually better than my favorite song. You are a god damned legend bro!!!
I think they would love it so much. Maybe inspire them to practice harder and use better guitar tones lol. But seriously they need to watch it. if GuitarRazze gets more popular, maybe it gets enough exposure and they just see it.
One month ago i lost my grandpa who cared about me everyday and loved me a lot. The first song i heard after his passing was this. I cried really hard when i heard the slow guitar part. All my memories with him passed through my head when i was listening this song. Everytime i read the title of the song i think about him because to live is to die. Thank you for making this beautiful piece.
That was waaaaay better that I expected it to be. I could definitely hear the black album influence on this. I could see this fading out and going into my friend of misery or even through the never! Amazing job🙏🏻
Man this is actually incredible, from a die hard Metallica fanatic, I prefer this over the original version. Thank you so much for blessing my ears with this composition

@@JasonBourne192 there was one RUclips video that taught how to do it. The finger picking isn't all too hard.

Dude. Two years later and I still love this.
If Orion was on Ride The Lightning next please, you know it would be badass.
Yeah, that too, maybe suicide and redemption justice style as well??
The mix and guitar/drum tones on MoP and RtL are almost same man...
but MOP has much less reverb the guitars are layered at least two times more.
I notice Lars's entire drum sound is more buried in the mix the MOP album. His drums sound more full on RTL the album.
But did cj kept up the streanght up man?
Has anyone also noticed how this would just perfectly fade into Blackened?
Thymerishere Truuue!!!! Too bad no song would fade into Blackened anyway, since it's the first track. Maybe he's hinting a "If Blackened was on the Black album"? That would be amazing.

why not make a mashup between fade to black and blackend called

"fade to blackend"
Then it hits you with a raging and brutal Dyers' Eve instead just like in the orginal.
Thats the first time I ever cried because of a song. Thank you. This was Beautiful!
I'm getting chills listening to this version.

donaldrocks101103 YES!!!
you deserve an award for that intro alone man, i got chills spiking my shoulders and spine during the whole first minute. almost made me tear up
To Live is To Die is my favorite Metallica song by far. I plan on having it played at my funeral. This version is incredible.
