Holy shit this is awesome. Not only is this awesome, but I have had a blocked ear for about 2 weeks - couldn't hear a thing. Today it has finally unblocked and now this is what graces my music deprived ear drum....PRAISE BE TO ODIN!!
Idk if you have seen the video called "To live is to die but on black album" or something like that. But ever since I saw that video I needed the original but with symph, and fuck yeah I do got it now.
Dude, Metallica Taunted me with the end of their concert playing the bit of Frayed Ends of Sanity. You have the power to make that song a reality! Love all the S&M2 songs you’ve done.
@@asgardman3404 YES!!! That song in general has gotten well deserved recognition over the years. Like Outlaw Torn, it utterly came into its own over time and shows that era of Metallica at its best. Yet- they've never played it live. But- Im sure something could be done/layered over the album version! Id love to hear the sort of moody/eerie sounds heard in the intro germ their way through the song. Fixxxer- Excellent suggestion!!
Mate, what you managed to pull off with this one is nothing short of phenomenal. Out of all the Metallica + symphony tracks you have released until now, this, for my money, absolutely takes the top price. Not only in terms of arrangements, but final mix. It probably wasn’t the hardest one to make arrangements for as it is already extremely melodic, but, boy, the result is on a league of its own. Creeping Death is also very, very well put together and Frantic was a phenomenal surprise. Massive congrats and THANK YOU for putting in the time and effort to make these and unleashing them upon us. I hope Leper Messiah is in the works! Keep it up! Rock on!
This was amazing. They should have opened the show with this INSTEAD of Ktulu. That crowd would have lost their minds, and it’s way overdue to give this song its true spotlight. Thank you!
Ben I saw a comment saying you should do the acoustic version of disposable heroes, I think that would be very refreshing and fitting for S&M, sort of like what they did with all within my hands. Incredible work as always, and thank you for making our dreams come true
I love how well the orchestra works with this piece. I don't even have words for how good and happy this makes me feel. The energy coming out of this is unreal
Epic. Can't be easy to sync it with Metallica's live tracks either given how much they speed up and slow down. Perfect arrangement and blends so well. Great job.
We should start calling Ben the "Metal Maestro." Unbelievable how you're doing this. And sonically it sounds so good. Suicide and Redemption next?! Metallica instrumentals are just made to be "orchestrized." The live version from Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009 combined with a symphony would be EPIC. Bravo Ben!!
I second this. Orion was great but this song suits the symphony a shit ton more. LOVE LOVE LOVE THISSS. If there was one extra song to be added to the original S&M² setlist this would be it and I know it for a fact (if they heard it back in 99 it definitely would've been a replacement for the ones that didn't fit well). This song literally begs for a symphony and we didn't know it for over 30 years. You can't go back to the studio version after this one while with the other ones that Ben has made, you can still go back to the original. And thats not a bad thing by any means. But I love it when you're so used to a certain version for so long and then get introduced to one that won't let you go back to the studio version because this one is now your favorite. But no. I didnt like the live version of this I thought they really butchered it but with the symphony it makes it flawless in every way and it hides all those flaws and imperfection the original performance had.
This keeps getting better and better! You are a genius! I was so disapointed that "To live is to die" wasn't on any S&M albums, so this comes like a dream come true! Outstanding work! Love every second of it!
I came across this by youtube suggestions and at first thought, it was actually performed at S&M2! man, you are legendary! thanks P.s. borrowed the wallpaper too.
You're doing a great job, honestly. You should get in touch wit the bad to agree on you creating a "Virtual S&M" album! I'm sure they would totally recognize how your art is enhancing theirs! Please keep on !!!!!
@@BenZimmermannMusic Yes! I knew Metallica would play something from St. Anger on S&M2, but All Within My Hands was kinda cheating. It would be neat to hear an electric song.
This is truly awesome. You make all Metallica fans their best wishes come true. Honestly, I was really disappointed with S&M2 tracks selection. You made my yesterday, day and any other day to come with your arrangements. Thank you and keep up the good work!
He definitely does. I've always wondered what people would want for their custom S&M/S&M2 setlists. That's why I made this survey: forms.gle/ckEovJL6CBRyi7F19 And here's some more tracks if you want: th-cam.com/play/PLyymQ9_uQIeUDgQ2vzdPzwrcffQ3bF2zY.html
Dude, you have earned a sub. This is fucking amazing! Not sure where you’ve come from, but clearly music has been the focus of your life’s work! Outstanding...
This is great! you should make a poll of all Metallica Songs and people can vote on which ones to S&M-ize... thanks so much for this and Orion! Metallica disssapointed but you Appointed!
Dude, I don't know how you created this but its fucking incredible and nothing less. This song truly was meant for one of the two live S&M albums, so very well done.
Incredible stuff Ben! Really amazed - was gutted when more than half of their songs were the same from S&M 99. Was really looking forward to them playing either this or Orion instead of Ktulu the 2nd time.
Masterful. Magnificent. Meaningful. And that was just the original version before this incredible reMastering arrived. Jesus Tonight, this is Brilliant. The Orchestrated life that you have breathed into this gives it new leases and levels of listening. It accentuates, continues and enhances the song. It tells more sides of the songs story, just like how the real s&m does. Absolute Class. Ive only just heard this once so far but I cant wait to absorb the new sounds and textures on repeated hearings. Take a Bow, Sir. Amazing.
You’re like the StateOfMercury of S&Ms
Kinda huh? :P
@Zachary Buckley can you read my mind?
Hey Ben I'm here thinking about My Friend of Misery, they've already played live it's a good song and have a good lyric

Please
Make a colab with him, pleeeease
Plot twist...
Metallica actually played all these songs on S&M2, but they use this guy's channel to publish it :)
That's what happend!
Exactly !
I believe it!
no, i was there, this wasnt played :'(
r/whooosh
You gotta put these all together in an album titled "the thing that should have been "
Highly underrated comment
Cliff is somewhere smiling right now
Especially when you think, that he never got this song to hear
@@ftb5558 Cliff would be so proud of 'One'
Cliff almost love this song, is AMAZING
@@ftb5558 Fr he didn’t even get to write it. None the less hear it
he is listening from the heavens, every rack of thunder is another song played by cliff
Finally, after what seemed like forever, WE HAVE TO LIVE IS TO DIE WITH AN ORCHESTRA!!!
Yeeaaaahhh! ;)

Bro you’ve definitely gotta do Welcome Home (Sanitarium) next, that would be truly epic 🤘🏻👌🏻
Pleaaase!!!
YES!
Absolutely
Yes we need this 💯
He is doing it! Check out his livestream from earlier today.
Idk if you have seen the video called "To live is to die but on black album" or something like that. But ever since I saw that video I needed the original but with symph, and fuck yeah I do got it now.
yeah i know that video! It's pretty cool
@@BenZimmermannMusic Oh fuck you actually answered, well that's pretty cool. And if I can ask, do you like that version? Cause I do.
Dude, Metallica Taunted me with the end of their concert playing the bit of Frayed Ends of Sanity. You have the power to make that song a reality! Love all the S&M2 songs you’ve done.
Also thought about that!
From the thumbnail, I thought it was a real thing. I was not disappointed
Man you are genius!! This is mindblowing!
Thank you, haha!
Hey man!!!, I know you!!!
I was listening orion, fade to black and unforgiven and then ...to live is to die 😲 Thanks you so much for your music. Saludos from Chile 🇨🇱

Goosebumps
Better than the original mind blowing. Man you should do the sm3
Hahah that would be a dream!
@@BenZimmermannMusic man, if you did a few more of these masterpieces you could practically piece together your own dream S&M3!

6:18 is basically one of the best part of Syncing metal and a Symphony together, great work doing this dude
Thank you! Really like that part too!
I just got goosebumps on 4:24, awesome bro 👏🏻👏🏻
Okay dude, I love you. I seriously do. You have no idea what this means to so many people.

Acoustic or the Replugged version of the acoustic
I love how well the orchestra works with this piece. I don't even have words for how good and happy this makes me feel. The energy coming out of this is unreal
Masterpiece! Thank you for taking our suggestion! Metallica needs to know this channel urgently.
Thank you! Let's try to bring it to their attention!

You should get in touch wit the bad to agree on you creating a "Virtual S&M" album!
I'm sure they would totally recognize how your art is enhancing theirs!
Please keep on !!!!!
I want to hear Frantic with the S&M style so freaking bad!
Btw, just subscribed with the bell full on, your work is just too stellar.
Will definitely do some St. Anger stuff with the symphony! Always wondered how it would sound
@@BenZimmermannMusic I can't wait! Looking forward to Frantic and St. Anger!
