hahahahaha. I liked it but it doesn't come close to the studio version. I'm really hoping that after playing all these songs a few more times live they manage to perfect them.
Yet again, Matt has impressed us again. Im being serious when i say this, but you my friend, are THE, not one of, THE BEST RHYTHM GUITARIST ON TH-cam. mad respect as always to you my man, keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know how people think this is the filler in the album..... with the am I evil - ish starting.... nice solos, mighty het's chugs and vocals.... this song was one of my favorites right from the beginning.... awesome cover man, rock on !!
FLAWLESS brother! Very tight playing man,I'm not surprised in the slightest the Blackstar holds it's own with that tone dude,was very enjoyable to watch and listen to 10/10 from me keep the vids coming bro they're always good entertainment and awesome value to watch,keep rocking out dude 😈🤘
Matt The Riff Master the Blackstar does kick ass but give yourself credit dude you kick ass too! You've got the timing down pat you didn't miss a beat it was spot on and it was you that dialed up the tone on the Blackstar!
Really want to see a vid for ManUNkind! Something about that song that just had me headbanging the whole time. So evil sounding! Love the cover btw! Rock on, Matt \m/
+Anonymous H. (Celestial Metal) aha thank you! Erm Gain: half way Bass: half way Treble: just over half way Mids: on about 2 Resonance: half way Presence: just over half way Haha hope this help out ha ha
Love this song. The riff is fucking badass. Hey, I was thinking...We should have a "RIFF OFF" 3-5 of your best original riffs! I have a 2008 Gibson Les Paul Studio with the James Hetfield EMG's. My amp is pretty shitty and I play through a Metal Muff pedal. My speakers are very good though, I have a 4x12 cab with Jensen 100w speakers and a 1x12 cab with a Eminence Legend The Governor 75W. All I need is a decent microphone for recording...
+FueledOnNightmares ha ha thanks I do plenty of both ha ha but sometimes downpicking just kicks ass and for me lets me add more aggression to my playing
Holy crap dude you nailed it!! Can hardly tell your playing from the original! btw your editing skills, different camera angles and transitions etc are coming on amazingly, they add so much to the video, keep it up man!
+David O'Neill ha ha thanks bro really glad you enjoyed it! I am assure you the guitar you are hearing is all me lol I make sure of that! And I like to make it as interesting for you guys to watch as much as I can!
Great man!! You should record some old school like,Jump in the fire,Hit the lights,motorbreath,or maybe something heavyer like jump in the fire ! if u are not already :D
+EETFUK i will be doing some older stuff for sure dude I did jump in the fire ages ago but wasn't very good quality so I'd like to do it again now I have improved my recording!
Great, riffs are superb but the lyrics are so powerfull and full of meaning and that makes me love this song! :) On another note, would you ever mind doing a cover of "Carpe diem baby"?
Matt The Riff Master: Am I Evil? V2 Cover haha. It reminds me so much of Am I Evil? They uploaded a video of Confusion first time live today. You should check it out, maybe do a reaction video or give your opinion on the performance.
For me personally the speed was not a big issue. but thats a matter of taste I guess. The thing that annoyed me a little bit was Hetfields voice. He sounded like he has a cold or something.
+Matt The Riff Master Have you heared that they barely finished the show yesterday in copenhagen. james is completely sick now. he tried to fight through because the crowd wanted it but they had to cut the show short and the next concert is postponed. Hope he gets well soon :(
I know ): lars is getting a bit better, but I hope that by the time they perform spit out the bone they have it together. The album and songs are so good, just the live part is lacking ):
Yeah, I mean at this point age is no excuse. Maybe they are getting lazy...? I don't know. I have a request! haha it would be cool if you did a cover of a song thats more downtuned, you have such an awesome tone and mix it would be cool to see. Anyway take care bro! and as always I will be here! \m/
+Brother Stardust hmm yeah Mann maybe. And yeah totally dude just gotta try get some cash for some heavier gauge strings so I can do that dude . Really wanna do the thing that should not be. Il try my best to do some stuff like that dude, and thank yoou your support really means a lot!
Awesome man! Still trying to figure out how in the hell there is dislikes on this video. Some peoples kids, lol. Great job brother and keep rockin!! \m/
Matt The Riff Master oh i know. I wasn't trying to insult your or imply that you're unoriginal or anything. I was just making an observation. You just really remind me of Hetfield which i think is cool lol. Even the way you hold your pick is similar
I just learned this song dude, but no way I'm playing it like you, absolutely great cover man Any advice on how to mute the strings on the riff of the fast pull offs?
+Luis Calvo that's awesome nice one! Erm I think it just comes naturally when playing dude erm just try and be cautious of what strings your hitting and try use parts of your fingering hand to mute them you're doing the pull offs if that makes sense it's tough to explain but after a while it kind of just naturally happens
How do you like the snakebyte LTD? I know they are a LOT cheaper than the actual ESP model. Its funny, I put the het set in my les paul custom and like 3 months later they come out with the white iron cross. Black Truckster was my favorite out of all his signature series guitars.
+Tom S it's amazing best guitar I ever played! I've always loved explorers!! And when I saw this I had to have it. I looks badass and sounds amazing and really comfy to play!
man this song is so underrated from the album, definitely grown to love this song, great cover
+Lachlan Morley me too ! Such a powerful song! Glad you enjoyed it my friend
Love that song, so fucking underrated!
+Matteo Vitali yeah Mann I love it!! It's grown on me a lot
yeah!! I've also grown to like confusion these past few months. Rocking as always Matt. Great cover!
+Federico Solari hell yeah! Thanks Mann glad you enjoyed it
of course man! Hey what were your thoughts on confusion played live?
+Federico Solari *face palm* they slowed it down!! A lot! I nearly fell asleep at some parts
hahahahaha. I liked it but it doesn't come close to the studio version. I'm really hoping that after playing all these songs a few more times live they manage to perfect them.
+Federico Solari fingers crossed dude!
Yet again, Matt has impressed us again. Im being serious when i say this, but you my friend, are THE, not one of, THE BEST RHYTHM GUITARIST ON TH-cam. mad respect as always to you my man, keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+BlapDuck wow! Thank you! That ha made my day !! I really appreciate that ! Thank you so much!
Certainly one of the more underrated tracks from the album, the opening riff and the lyrics are some of hetfields best. Nicely done man /,, /
agreed bro! thanks mann!
Great cover from this little jewel from HTSD. James' riffing are so diverse and unique that seems to be a lot of fun playing. Congrats Mr Matt.
thank you! its a great song and a lot of fun to play!
You fucking nailed it \m/!!!!! The tone is sowwww HEAVY!!! i want that tone too! Can you tell me how?!
+HAAITAND ha ha thanks ha ha well mainly it comes from my hands but blackstar amps and emg pick ups help ha ha
HAAITAND its the metallica guitar bro 😀
i think this has to be my fav song from the album. the riff is just so good
I don't know how people think this is the filler in the album..... with the am I evil - ish starting.... nice solos, mighty het's chugs and vocals.... this song was one of my favorites right from the beginning.... awesome cover man, rock on !!
+Om Bangale it's a very cool song! I have grown to like it a lot! Glad you enjoyed it

+Ethan Brumback hell yeah dude!
I've played this an hour ago on guitar 🤘 so much fun to play these riffs 🤘
+Leons Motovlogs hell yeah mann!! It's a great song! And some great riffs
Great work Matt.
In my opinion deal this song not only with the "real" war.
Most of us have their own war too....a war, which never ends....
+Oliver Heuschele totally agree my friend \m/ thanks
Sounds really good! And I didn't even listen to it through good speakers yet :P
+Villy Explorer ha ha thanks Mann! Sounds so much better through so good speakers
FLAWLESS brother! Very tight playing man,I'm not surprised in the slightest the Blackstar holds it's own with that tone dude,was very enjoyable to watch and listen to 10/10 from me keep the vids coming bro they're always good entertainment and awesome value to watch,keep rocking out dude 😈🤘
+mathew pybus thank you! I really appreciate that! The blackstar certainly kicksass! I'm really happy you enjoyed it \m/
Matt The Riff Master the Blackstar does kick ass but give yourself credit dude you kick ass too! You've got the timing down pat you didn't miss a beat it was spot on and it was you that dialed up the tone on the Blackstar!
+mathew pybus ah dude you're fucking awesome! Thanks Mann!!

+Elijah De Luna thanks glad you enjoyed it! I'm still not feeling that song dude so probably won't be covering it just yet
Dude that tone is beautiful! What settings are you using??
+Anonymous H. (Celestial Metal) aha thank you! Erm
Gain: half way
Bass: half way
Treble: just over half way
Mids: on about 2
Resonance: half way
Presence: just over half way
Haha hope this help out ha ha
Thanks lol, one of my friends keeps insisting that turning treble and resonance up is "JUST LIKE JUSTICE DUDE!"
+Anonymous H. (Celestial Metal) anytime! Ha ha depends what amp you use I think dude
Man you play so clean... just calms my nerves
FK Yeah! ...on point! Had it CRANKING 🔊 through the Home Theater System, Great Job! 🤘🏼😎🎸
+Mark Ramsey hell yeah bro! Nice one!! Glad you enjoyed it in style!!
Love this song. The riff is fucking badass. Hey, I was thinking...We should have a "RIFF OFF" 3-5 of your best original riffs! I have a 2008 Gibson Les Paul Studio with the James Hetfield EMG's.

+John mustaine thanks bro! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice bro!! You make the song sound heavier and much better!!!🤘🤘🍺
+KTULUWALL aha thanks Mann! Appreciate that and glad you enjoyed it
You've mastered those down-picking skills haha, I honestly expected to see more alt-picking, but was quite happy to see the opposite
+FueledOnNightmares ha ha thanks I do plenty of both ha ha but sometimes downpicking just kicks ass and for me lets me add more aggression to my playing
I would leave two likes but i cant. AWESOME COVER!!!
+Valyo Valyov ha ha thank you I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it
Holy crap dude you nailed it!! Can hardly tell your playing from the original! btw your editing skills, different camera angles and transitions etc are coming on amazingly, they add so much to the video, keep it up man!

Matt The Riff Master: Am I Evil? V2 Cover haha. It reminds me so much of Am I Evil? They uploaded a video of Confusion first time live today. You should check it out, maybe do a reaction video or give your opinion on the performance.
aha yeah!! I've watched it dude! i was not impressed its so slow live!! I ALMOST FELL ASLEEP at some points!
For me personally the speed was not a big issue. but thats a matter of taste I guess. The thing that annoyed me a little bit was Hetfields voice. He sounded like he has a cold or something.
+Thomas Hufnagel hmm maybe he did something that can't be helped
+Matt The Riff Master Have you heared that they barely finished the show yesterday in copenhagen. james is completely sick now. he tried to fight through because the crowd wanted it but they had to cut the show short and the next concert is postponed. Hope he gets well soon :(
Awesome, the tone! Have you seen the official live version?
+Brother Stardust thanks Mann yeah dude it was a snooze fest. It was so slow!!!
I know ): lars is getting a bit better, but I hope that by the time they perform spit out the bone they have it together. The album and songs are so good, just the live part is lacking ):
+Brother Stardust exactly dude! I totally get they are gettin old but they still have it I don't think age is the issue
Yeah, I mean at this point age is no excuse. Maybe they are getting lazy...? I don't know. I have a request! haha it would be cool if you did a cover of a song thats more downtuned, you have such an awesome tone and mix it would be cool to see. Anyway take care bro! and as always I will be here! \m/
+Brother Stardust hmm yeah Mann maybe. And yeah totally dude just gotta try get some cash for some heavier gauge strings so I can do that dude . Really wanna do the thing that should not be. Il try my best to do some stuff like that dude, and thank yoou your support really means a lot!
Great cover matt. Love it !!!

+gears23war thank you my friend!
Matt The Riff Master No Problem my friend!
Interesting dude, someday you wanna try some of mastodon, like megalodon or blood and thunder, that could be awesome. :D

Nice guitar cover! :D

+ZaK Metal thanks Mann! You should do it.
I can tell your playing style is heavily inspired by Hetfield's.
You just seem to be possessed by him in your videos.
haha dude i just play and let the music take over thats how i always do it mann and just play and have a good time
Matt The Riff Master oh i know. I wasn't trying to insult your or imply that you're unoriginal or anything. I was just making an observation. You just really remind me of Hetfield which i think is cool lol. Even the way you hold your pick is similar
ahah no its cool dude! i hear it a lot but I've just played that way my whole life mann \m/
Another great cover man. \m/
+hamid hosseini cheers Mann!
Badass! love Blackstar Cheers!

Nice bro great job!
+Metallic man 444 cheers dude! Glad you enjoyed it!
I just learned this song dude, but no way I'm playing it like you, absolutely great cover man
Any advice on how to mute the strings on the riff of the fast pull offs?
+Luis Calvo that's awesome nice one! Erm I think it just comes naturally when playing dude erm just try and be cautious of what strings your hitting and try use parts of your fingering hand to mute them you're doing the pull offs if that makes sense it's tough to explain but after a while it kind of just naturally happens
james hetifield ver2.0 !!! u rock\m/
+Ashwanth Jerry ha ha thanks Mann!
the Blackstar sounds amazing for the new Metallica album
hell yeah! its a beast
i am curious how your voice would sound like on a cover, but i think i am asking too much haha
+Rock Music i cannot sing ha ha you don't wanna hear that ha ha
How do you like the snakebyte LTD? I know they are a LOT cheaper than the actual ESP model. Its funny, I put the het set in my les paul custom and like 3 months later they come out with the white iron cross. Black Truckster was my favorite out of all his signature series guitars.
+Tom S it's amazing best guitar I ever played! I've always loved explorers!! And when I saw this I had to have it. I looks badass and sounds amazing and really comfy to play!
amazing!!!!! 😍
+abhinav chattaraj thank you my friend!
