What I love about Bill's mashups is that you can be a fan of either band, and he doesn't make you feel like he's ruining their music by mixing it with another song, but instead honoring it.
there was no "pitch shift", the pitch sounds different because you cannot hear the accompanying instruments from the band. hearing the instruments with his vocals makes it seem like it is a different pitch of vocals, but its not.
@@orion7741 Well, I was not expecting to actually have to go deep into this, but I listened again to the original: ruclips.net/video/krpnMA-N3-c/видео.html and the one with just vocals: ruclips.net/video/7ldrQhGsoN8/видео.html The first "true" in the original song seems to start briefly at D, bounce off that to D#, and then back to D. The second one seems to be E F E D, although the E is slightly off. I suppose that I can treat that as what Hetfield meant to sing as opposed to trying to sing a D# and missing. Now, I will try to compare it to this mashup. First, everything seems to be pitched a half-step-down to accommodate being in E in the verses and F#. The first "true" seems to move from C# to D# and then back to C#, it being a full-step instead of a half-step in the original. THIS is what I was referring to in my previous post. The second one starts on that weird E flat/E note that goes to F, back to that off E note, and down to C#. So, it is the same except it goes a half-step lower to match up with the rest of the vocals being a half-step lower. Now, maybe that is not McClintock did and I am just hearing things incorrectly. He can correct me if he wants.
The reason a lot of these mashups work is because major and minor keys are interchangeable.. so a melody sang in a minor key will sound perfectly reasonable with a major key, as is the case here. No pitch shifting or autotune required (or perhaps just the absolute bear minimum)
I am in complete and utter awe of this man and his insanely brilliant ability to meld these songs together. Each one is a masterpiece that surpasses any regular limited human comprehension. Utter. Awe.
Agreed. What's sad about modern music is that every artist today sings solo. Backup singers are a thing of the past. Anyways, another awesome mashup. Thanks Bill.
I was waiting for the usual guest guitar solo spot... waiting... waiting... and then BAM! Lars drum fill. That crazy Bill... always keeping me on my toes!!
As a musician, I really admire Bill’s arrangement of this..it really works. And the ‘Dood doo loo doo doo…aha…I’M YOUR PAIN!’’ bridge between chorus/verse is genius! And the rhyming of the dooo doos, with the word true…genius.
I don't know Andy, your "Enter the Love Machine" mashup was great some what now 10 years ago. I I love the Taylor Swift "Electro Love Funk" which sadly has disappeared (that said I do have a copy of the audio) that was truely great work as has been much of your work which sadly has been removed from RUclips over the years.
I also want to add that the "Taylor Swift You belong to me" metal version also was awesome. Again sadly RUclips removed a lot of your quality work Andy.
Growing up as a young man, I loved Metallica and I loved Leo Sayer. People thought I was weird for liking both. Thank you for justifying my love of both of these brilliant acts!
When I was younger my favorite bands were Anthrax, KMFDM, Chicago, Funkadelic and the 5th Dimension. So I get where you're coming from. There's one for Bill combine Anthrax with Chicago or the 5th Dimension
Kind of like enjoying Leaf Garrett and Def Leppard? Edit; or probably more like Michael Jackson and Megadeth. Of both examples I am included. I've actually got some playlists that have Andrea Bochelli and Black Sabbath one right after the other. We should have designed roller coasters!!!💁♂️🎢
@@skeetermcswagger0U812 I'm not a little girl. Only little girls listened to Leaf Garrett...and I really couldn't name one song by him. I'm old enough to have been familiar with him, however, from the teen girl mags the girls would read.
@@69sidewinder Oh my God you getting upset over that comment is the funniest fucking thing I think I've heard in weeks!!!! THANKS!! I'm gonna have to go see if I know the names of any of the songs that Leaf Garrett(if that's even how his name is spelled)now just to see why you're so offended and got your panties in such a wad!!!! ROTFFLMMAO!! 😲😬😃😁😂🤣
I try listening to other mashup artists but I can't even make it through an entire song. Bill is in an entirely different league. Others have some great ideas and clever bits, but literally every mashup Bill has done is clever, ironic, and masterfully thought out and executed beginning to end. There are a few I don't care for as much as others but they are still awesome and I can enjoy them all the way through.
Giving Lars some LOVE!!! Speaking of love... I love when James says “I’m your hate when you want love” and then Leo waves his arms in the air as if saying as if. BRILLIANT editing :)
Really wish there was another RUclips channel where musicians reacted to being used in a mash-up like this. Everything from humor, embarrassment, anger. I think it would be great.
I have been into the mash up stuff since the old limewire days. But the 1st I can recall was a mash of Steely Dan and Michael Jackson, back in the early 80's. Do it again and Billy Jean, if I'm not mistaken.
@@nurgle333 I'm not sure if he was doing them then, but I came across a hand full of Beatles mash ups and they weren't credited to anyone. There are a few on you tube you can look up. This one of my favs. A George Harrison\ Jackson 5 mash ruclips.net/video/HbayjIcsrQM/видео.html
Ah yes there is actually a new challenger to the throne, I won't mention the channel name but if you look for "Hendrix and Depeche Mode you will find it on the other side of town:.
Bill, I think you need to establish a residency in Vegas and hold a nightly show of mashup performances. It would be a smash and run for years. Gems like this would still be entertaining in 2071....
Metallica was the soundtrack of my younger years. Listening to these mashups is the closest my brain has ever come to short circuiting from confusion. So awesome!
Y pensar que ya lo habia visto todo¡¡¡ sos un genio bill alegraste la vida a un monton de gente retro..con humor y musica embkematica...jajaja gracias totales...
You are a genius with music!! Thanks for making my days better with your tunes, way better than all the meds this Army veteran has to take daily!! 🇺🇸 Keep using your gift - America needs ya!!
Wow. Just disco-vered this track. I was listening to Leo Sayers in the 70's. And Metallica in the 8/90's. This flowed together, seamlessly. Perfect. To whomever mixed this vid: I salute you, sir. 🤘
I actually expected the reverse of vocals and instrumental, but this works juuuuust fine. Why have I never come across metal-disco before, and where can I get more?

...plus Lar's drumming seems better now. 🤣
'bout time
Lars is actually in the pocket LOL!!!
And justice for Jason, finally!
Came to comments to post this 😀
Seriously underrated Metallica era... the disco years.
Everyone laughs at Lars but from 2:15 to 2:35, he was bang-on, better than anything that followed. Such masterful precision, i am impressed ! Lol
What I love about Bill's mashups is that you can be a fan of either band, and he doesn't make you feel like he's ruining their music by mixing it with another song, but instead honoring it.
perfectly said!
I hereby challenge you to find ONE fan of both Leo sayer and Metallica!!

This makes me so happy. You have no idea.
“Do-de-do-do-do-do… I’m your painnnn.” This is poetry right here. This makes me so glad to be alive.
After listening to nearly every mashup, probably. This is the best one.
@@garyfindlay8052 its great but wont beat Dance Memories or Rainig lobster
I dont think a song has ever made me laugh that hard
It's impossible not to smile when listening to this hey. Definitely top 10 mashups of all time. Pure genius!
Well said...!!!!!
🐕🦺🔈🔉🔊🎧🕶️
I want to open a bar called McClintock's and play only your mashups as the house music
I'll be a frequent bar fly If you do this.
That's actually a good idea. It will spur on bands to try the same and focus a place for them to play.
Where will you build it? Theres a street in Tempe,Arizona called McClintock. Would or could you put it on McClintock and Baseline. Would be proper.
There's actually a steakhouse in Arroyo Grande CA called McClintock's. Their specialty was Rocky Mountain Oysters 😳
If Bill’s in then I’d invest
It's sad that Leo and James couldn't work out their differences and continue to share vocal duties...
Metallica should’ve kept the two women too
Sad...but true.
Typical Metallica. Leo and Jason Newsted should have formed a new project.
Their egos were too big for one band ☹️
James can’t share the spotlight. He’s gotta be the main diva. Have we learned nothing from the Dave Mustaine years ?
Leo's goofy dance moves and James' shouts go together like beer and pizza.
I die laughing when they show those!!! 😂😂😂
Yeeeeeaaaahhh hahhhhh
Now I'm hungry.
or lamb and tuna fish.
Absotively!
My mom used to play this all the time while gardening. I miss her and the good times. RIP
She was a fan of Leotallica?lol
Those back up singers! 😍
Now we just need a mash-up between Leo and Slayer -- "Leo Slayer."
Leo Sayer looks like the Son of Sam
Jim, That was hilarious!!
Perfect !!!
@@redspice55 Thank you! 😊
I'd pay good money for that!
"You make me feel like dancin'.....you know it's sad but true!"
Effing genius!
It fits so damn well. Lol.
Truuuuuuuuuhhuuuuuuue!
Absofuckinlutely
Sounds like love's rekindling between exes, lol! 😅
No doubt hahaha
The pitch shifting of "true" to make it in a major key was inspired.
Agreed, however we should point out that the authentic and accurate spelling of that lyric is not a puny "true", it's "trueee-*AH!*"
there was no "pitch shift", the pitch sounds different because you cannot hear the accompanying instruments from the band. hearing the instruments with his vocals makes it seem like it is a different pitch of vocals, but its not.
Sad But True is in D Locrian which is similar to D minor. It works because the original song is in D major.
@@orion7741 Well, I was not expecting to actually have to go deep into this, but I listened again to the original: ruclips.net/video/krpnMA-N3-c/видео.html and the one with just vocals: ruclips.net/video/7ldrQhGsoN8/видео.html

Yep ! ,,, some nice video touches too !..
"You make me feel like dancing, you know it's sad but true." I CANNOT believe how well this flows and seems to go together. Wow!
You know I always thought 70's Metallica was criminally underrated.
The public seems to ignore their disco years…a shame really.
Versus 2000's Metallica which is criminally overrated.

It's the magic of 4/4s time.
I love 70s-era female backup singers.
Yeah, really! Thank You for mentioning this! They put in Their work here, so They also deserve Their 'Shine' as well!
This is my husbands tablet but I always told him I wanted to be a woman of color back up singer. Sigh.
so do i , check the ones out in mike flowers wonderwall
Agreed. What's sad about modern music is that every artist today sings solo. Backup singers are a thing of the past.
Anyways, another awesome mashup. Thanks Bill.
Pure talent. Modern music is often okay, but it lacks heart most of the time.
Genius. I hope Hetfield sees this and is amazed at how good he is in this groove.
This will forever be my preferred version of these songs
“You make me feel like Danzig”. But Leotallica is genius!
Per an old Win Ben Stein's Money category: "You make me feel like Danzig, wanna Gdansk the night away".
Love that the drums match up so well with lars drumming too lmao
Yeah. Genius edit.
Especially at 2:18 in the video. When Jason does that thing with his arms.
I was waiting for the usual guest guitar solo spot... waiting... waiting... and then BAM! Lars drum fill. That crazy Bill... always keeping me on my toes!!
No Guitar or Drums by Metallica
But......

I was waiting for it too.

i will forever sing "you know its sad but true" for the chorus of "you make me feel like dancing" now. thanks for that, bill!
it's so catchy
You make me feel like dancing. Sad, but true.
The happiest song about serving a dark master I've ever heard.
It made me feel like ... dancing.
Always a good day when Bill uploads
Thank you for consistently making my day and night, Bill.
Hahahahahah...that was awesome!!! Thanks for posting
Absolutely hilarious and genius. It's probably Metallica's heaviest and deepest song lyrically set to the most carefree, winsome music ever recorded.
I wholeheartedly agree!!
It works because of the contrast. It's like when you dip a marshmallow in sour powder.
It's definitely not Metallica's heaviest, did you ever listen to motor breathe from the Kill Em All album?
@noname-jh3bd They said lyrically. Unless, you think "Motorbreath" is their deepest song, lol.
Giving James' vocals and Lars' drums that little bit of swing is the freakin' best.
As a musician, I really admire Bill’s arrangement of this..it really works. And the ‘Dood doo loo doo doo…aha…I’M YOUR PAIN!’’ bridge between chorus/verse is genius! And the rhyming of the dooo doos, with the word true…genius.
And ‘doo do loo loo-sad but true…doo do loo loo-sad true’ is also brilliant. I actually like this as a stand alone song.

Another reason to bring music back into AM radio.
I dont think anyone in their right minds would've asked for this, but its here, and its GLORIOUS!
A truly brave soul would play this very loud in the parking lot at the next Metallica tour/show.
too funny!!!
It would be even better if Metallica invited Leo Sayer and his band to join them on stage and troll the audience.
I would just for the sake of laughs and giggles before I'll get demolished.
They should have it over the PA as people are finding their seats
