Chad finally using his amazing, raspy voice where it belongs: Heavy metal. His rough, powerful voice, the heavy guitar and the solid drums gave me literally an eargasm.
Sounds like they have scooped their mids. That is why it sound so heavy and rough. Scooped mids suck when rehearsing with your band though, and that because you can't hear yourself, neither your bandmates, but it sounds incredibly big and amazing anyway, so...
It's not as sharp as it should be. His enunciation is way off, but he gets the tone changes really well. When he sings it, it sounds like sAD but TrUUUUuuuue. The original is SAAAd but TRUUUuuuue.
Those guitar and bass tones are crunchy as hell. Makes it sound even heavier than the original studio version. Wish I could get a tone like this out of my setup.
Something tells me they would have a hard time playing the stuff off Kill em all.... and all the first 4 albums. The guitarist couldn’t do this solo and it is one of the easier Metallica solos.
Yes bro, Spector NS5XL! It was originally recorded on a Spector NS2, so similar pre amp and pickups. Mike is an absolute tone monster, ask anyone in the bass community about Nickelback and they invariably go “sick bass tone”.

Je connais pas trop Nickelback mais j'aime beaucoup beaucoup cette chanson de Metallica et je trouve que Nickelback l'a très bien représentée. Mais l'originale reste la mieux :D
But let’s be honest is there stuff that sounds closer to pop sound that bad? Dude if anyone says photograph is just a bad song I couldn’t believe them if I wanted to.
And they did. In 2017, they released Feed The Machine, the hardest record they had since The State. Of course there were some pop-rock ballads here and there, but half the album is definitely closer to metal than pop. Since then they've mostly been silent aside from the The Devil Went Down To Georgia cover that a lot of people liked, but about a month ago, they announced they're releasing even more hard music again.
@@lancia-037 I disagree, improvisation is fine but it's not a requirement, besides that Metallica has simplified the timing for the drum break going into the chorus, it always sounded lazy and kinda half arsed to me the way they play that part.
@@luke666808g I don't rlly like Lars but, there were times where they switched drummers in an emergency, like when Joey Jordison played a few songs with them live, it was sick
Yeah they started as post grunge, had a real unique sound. But then corporatism took over, the money spoke and so they toned it down and made more radio friendly songs. Potential was there (evident by this) but they sold out unfortunately

Nowadays they're still laughed at by the media but they still have more fans now then ever. ( I'm not a fan but I don't hate them either.

we have supported and followed them in Vancouver since they first played a BOTB's show and a local station started playing them (CFOX) they always had a few flat out hard rock tracks on their albums, it was just that other radio stations picked up on their radio friendly tracks and promoted the hell out of them.

Nickelback need to do heavier stuff. At least they'll have more of a reputation then.
Tru shit
gasmaskboi19371945 They should have NEVER made How You Remind Me (or any other Radio rock song for that matter) , then they wouldn't have dissolved into a corporate rock band then. The fact that How You Remind Me turned them incredibly rich, is the reason why they turned into a corporate band in the first place. Because MONEYZ fucks things up badly.
11th most successful musical act in History. Think they are doing fine. Lol.
@@GuitarJester89 No no no! They need to appeal to all the whiny real men out there who only listen to METAAAAAL!
That's way more important. lol
@@mitsuzanekureshima5715 they became tools in the machine. Shoulda stuck to their guns instead of wimping out with mainstream throwaway pop rock
Dammmmmm they nail it so awesome omg
If Nickelback did a Metallica cover album I’d honestly buy it. This is lethal
They nailed that guitar tone perfect
And that bass riff is sick
"So how does nickelback prevent people from leaving a nickelback concert? By NOT playing nickelback. It's absolutely brilliant. I wish I thought of that!" Stevie T
A full cover especially with that guitar solo would be mint

Me: sounds like you haven't heard a solid half of their songs, they have WAY heavier music than you think they do
Animals is the JAM
They are amazing alive and in the studio...people just hate them without a real reason.
@Eoin Richardson people just hate Nickelback because its "cool" to hate them
Stanzb chad kroeger being a dick.....
#WalkAway from the Invisible Enemy! My favs are bottoms up,burn it to the ground,this means war and a couple others
I wish they did more of this kind of stuff, theyre actually really good here
The deep voice of Nickelback sounds so good for this song. Sad but true.
Whoa. Aren't these the guys that everyone hates? That was sick!
People hate without listening to the music themselves. Humans suck.
@@shikarifox4337 That's what I was about to say! 🤘🏻
Why is this good?
Because Chad loves "Sad But True?"
I have been searching the interwebs diligently for a person who actually went "there" covering Metallica and I find NickelBack... WTF... Hat's off this is the best Metallica cover on youtube.. I may have to put one out on my own..
Never been a Nickleback fan, but this was awesome!!!! 🤘🤘
These guys are fuckin good! one of the best metallica covers. never been a nickel back fan tho but nothing against them.
Best Metallica cover ever!!
Nickelback is one of the biggest examples of how much a label/record company can ruin a band. They are extremely talented, but their label has such a huge influence and voice on the music they create and release
Maybe nickelback should consider doing some metal

Never again. Woke up this morning. Flat on the floor. Fight for all the wrong reasons. Side of a bullet. Burn it to the ground. Just to get high. This means war. Midnight queen. Feed the machine. Coin for the ferryman. The betrayal act 3.
Flat on the floor is awesome...
leviathan00009 listen to feed the machine
@@thetannernation its like 5% of their songs
Side of a Bullet is about Dimebag Darrell and they were given permission to use one of Dimebag's unused solos for the song
The only Nickelback video I will watch
I CAN'T be the only one who was expecting this to suck ass but was pleasantly surprised
Haha if you're legitimately surprised, then you've been hating Nickelback and ignoring them for trends dude. Their lead singer has a huge vocal range.
Nah, I knew it was gonna be good. I mean come on. It's Nickelback and Metallica mixed together. Awesome mix
