    How you captured Hardwired’s nuances in this video is literally indescribable. The way you added some lead after the first verse resembling Atlas, Rise! and Halo On Fire in a way. The chorus, The Random Ass Solo, the way you ended the song, the same way it starts. All accumulates into a masterpiece. Really looking forward to this season of What If?

  • @HypeWrecks

    I love how drum-forward this mix is, it accentuates the guitar perfectly. The Hardwired embellishments that you put in the song are way more tasteful and way better written than Hardwired-proper and, for some unknown reason, this mix simultaneously sounds *exactly* like Hardwired to Self Destruct, but also 10x better than Hardwired.
    Amazing work, as usual.

    My two cents:
    Let me just start out by saying I hope you are doing good in life and that everything is going just fine.
    Now with that out of the way, here's my analysis. First off, you did a really good job with the vocals, I love how you isolated them and compressed them to make them attack more, bleeding into the mix. It sounds so natural and perfect. The Munch and crunchy chainsaw tone of the guitars just really match the vibe of the album. The booming pop of the drums sound amazing to my ears. The Vocals are phenomenal, I am blown away at your talent and ability to separate the vocals and make them fit into the song without breaking out of the mix.
    I absolutely loved the way you shaped the song into an interpretation of what it would sound like on Hardwired To Self Destruct is just mind blowing.
    Keep up the great work bud! Cheers! 🍻

(Ah, how far he's fallen...) What did you do for the vocals? Was that from a live performance and run through filters?

  • @Lattrodon
    @Lattrodon Год назад +1

    Your videos are fucking superb... I need more of these videos, old Metallica songs in the new album styles and new Metallica songs in the old album styles are the best. I think the bigger gap in time between the styles the better and more interesting, Like taking a song from ...and justice and putting it in the black album style is a lot less interesting for example. Keep making these though this is fantastic.

    Bad F'ing A$S!!!! As an old school Metallica fanatic (listening since '84, obsessed since '88) I have to say, I was extremely and pleasantly surprised by what I heard on this video. I thought this was just going to be another remix of the original song with some changes in tones or speeds. I wasn't expecting a full cover of the song, by an awesome band, who completely revamped the song to match "Hardwired"'s style! Again, F'ing AWESOME!!!! I'm blown away! You made a new fan tonight for sure! 🤘

    As always excellent job. I would love to see how you tackle songs from St Anger(title track, frantic, dirty window, SKOM) in other albums. They have a lot of great riffs but length and composition are all over the place. Id think you could make them really shine
