Metallica & San Francisco Symphony: Fade To Black (Ben Zimmermann Version)

- I really wanted to hear Fade To Black with an orchestra but somehow they didn't play it on S&M1 or S&M2. So I thought the next best thing was to create my own version. I hope you like it! I tried to make a mix between the S&M1 und S&M2 arrangement style! Leave a comment and subscribe if you're new.

i hope they will include this masterpiece to S&M3 19 years from now.
Don't think that's gonna happen. Jaymz would be 76 then. ^^
@@TheKvn91 that ain't stopping him 🤘
imagine them in a wheelchair with their respective instrument and with an entire orchestra
I read they may try to do S&M³ in 2029 so we would have to wait another 20 years again.
Maybe 2024?
This is The Thing That Should Have Been. I cannot get my head around the fact that for the second time, s&m left Fade to Black in the dark. I was convinced that it would have been finally in there for the otherwise great sequel- so Thank You for doing this.
Thank YOU!
@@BenZimmermannMusic Your welcome! It really was a realistic and fantastic job here. The Orchestral Movements really enhance the song and elevate it to a new experience. That is why I prefer a lot of s&ms versions of the songs- the Orchestra compliments and enriches the songs. The orchestra dont just slap on random passages over the music- its a totally new side and emotion to the songs. Fade to Black absolutely should have been there. So again-many thanks for this. Another song Ive always wanted was Orion! Wow, just the thought of what the Orchestra could have done with that.
@Jayce Ledet I saw that too and honestly, consindering the complexity of the original arrangements, I cant get my head around this. I didn't have any problems in arranging the orchestra
@@BenZimmermannMusic I read something about that aswell. And I just dont understand how Fade To Black was deemed difficult to do. When you consider the faster,heavier songs that the Orchestra easily wove waves of wonder into-especially "Battery", its so strange that they couldnt construct a concerto for Fade to Black! The first half of the song was Tailor Made for an epic orchestrated makeover. And,with "One" and "The day that never Comes", we hear that the orcheastra was more than able to transition to a busy bombastic pace when the songs rocked up in their second halves- but without overcrowding the band either. It could have been done- and this version here is fantastic proof of that.
Same here man I can’t believe they left it off the list again. It’s perfect for the symphony.
Awesome job!

I see an interview and lars or james say they try but they dont match with the music....
I fee ya bru
@@leomofi2310 What interview is it?
@@HeavyRaiden i dont remenber bro but it was when S&M2 came out they have many interview
This and Orion are two songs they really should've added.
That was my though so I added them!
@@BenZimmermannMusic
You're doing us a great service!
Would you please make Fixxxxer too
@@BenZimmermannMusic this man really said “Fine, I’ll do it myself” 😂 amazing work 💯
Orion is one off cliffs best performance.. they went With anesthisia(pulling teeth) good choise in my opinion.
Im in tears man....im so glad youve filled the void theyve always left in me by not playing this live in their S&M shows...wow! Hats off sir...you are my hero! Cheers...
Thank you so much!!
if u could do with "To live is to die", it would be another masterpiece...
th-cam.com/video/555B0c8HBVI/w-d-xo.html wish granted
Yeah, To Live is to Die gets so little recognition and it would sound too perfect with the orchestra
There is a version look it up
Please let this version be picked up by someone closely associated with Metallica. I’m 100% confident the boys would love it. So many little details. Gorgeous
This is a masterpiece! Well done!
Thank you so much!
@@BenZimmermannMusic The Unforgiven using London 2019?
@@BenZimmermannMusic Awesome! I wish I had discovered this earlier so I could use it in my fantasy festival where Metallica played with the San Francisco Symphony yet again. I had to use a non-symphony version of Fade To Black.
Check out my version of Creeping Death on S&M2!

It's nice to see you here, haha
We need make viral this video!! It's an incredible job! 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Lets try it!
@@michaelf.bender3718 What do you mean with a topic version?
@@michaelf.bender3718 It will not be the same but I could fake it
@@BenZimmermannMusic I'll upload the topic video. I did it for my S&M2 versions of Creeping Death and Sad But True.
I actually used to have an "alternate reality" Metallica channel, which began by me uploading topic videos of songs that were made in an alternate reality style. It was taken down due to an impersonation complaint (it looked that real), so I took the best ones and uploaded them to my own channel. They are in a playlist called "Metallicalternate Respawned". You should check it out. It also has a studio version of The New Song, among other things.
@@maxzubic Oh that's great! I will look into some of the videos! And thank you so much for including my version of Fade to Black!
Just imagine SM3 with:
Creeping death
fade to black
No remorse
seek and destroy
BLACKENED
Atlas rise
Whiskey in the jar
Turn the page
And justice for all
The shortest straw
BRUTAL.
Orion would be amazing with a symphony..
Also All Nightmare Long and To Live Is To Die
No remorse, seek, atlas, whiskey and turn the page no way. There are tons of better songs than those
@@kageyama8651 no remorse and whiplash are my 2 favorite songs on kill em all
@@Destroyer_13 Well. they are good... for kill em all standards
i literally got goosebumps from this omg
Oh wow!
Same!!!
Ive been looking all over for a video with symphony arrangements of others songs than those on both S&M's. Usually its just a symphony covering a song but you have actually made what ive been searching for! And its awesome!!!
Thank you!
There is a new one!
I was literally having goosebumps while listening to this . This is my favorite metallica song. You made this song more beautiful than ever. You have such a great sense of music. Truly amazing
Did anyone else catch Kirk switching guitars, MID SOLO??? LOL
THE THING THAT SHOULD HAVE BE!! :"D
Hopefully next time!
@@BenZimmermannMusic Barcelona 2019 would be perfect
it sucks that they didn't actually make this song with the orchestra. to be perfectly honest i didn't even think about it at first. but hearing this, hats off to you ben! it really does sound like it's out of S&M, and it's one of those songs that sounds so good with the orchestra as well.
Thank you! I'm acutally not a big fan of Fade to Black but I always thought that a S&M Version would get me more hooked. (Same with Bleeding Me for me at least) So I decided to do it myself haha
@@BenZimmermannMusic i agree. I don't know all of metallica's songs but a bunch of the ones I know, i see the S&M versions as being better in ways. One, bleeding me, the memory remains, nothing else matters, wherever i may roam. All songs i constantly listen to the S&M version over the studio version.
So many people hated S&M. They said they sold out. To me, it was a genius move and I couldn't wait to buy it. Yes, I know that this tune isn't on it. Ben, it's a really good arrangement.
Imagine if they played this for the 2nd show
Yeah, that would habe been great
I was waiting for Fade To Black, The Frayed Ends of Sanity, Creeping Death, No Leaf Clover and Outlaw Torn.. At least they did last two
@@kursatkaya8158 Orion...
@@nathanaelcaballero217 Oh yeah, I forgot that
0:29 ok is a Gibson Les paul
0:46 THIS IS A STRATOCASTER??? THIS IS A MAGIC!!
I actually didn't like that. It's at least 2 different performances mixed together.
Night 1 and then night 2
Metallica didn’t perform this at SM2 the footage is from various songs from SM2 the music is taken from a live performance I think Berlin and then the orchestra added in by Ben Zimmermann
How the hell Orion wasn't included in s&m is beyond me.
facts
Not being included in s and m 1 was understandable but unlike last time Rob could actually play it and they should have included it now.
And they needed to play this one too, in both s&m
I hope they play with the orchestra one more time. When the band is on their final tour. A fan made setlist would kill to be honest. Btw your an absolute legend for making these videos. Thank You!
Thank you!
That bell is such an amazing touch. I love this.
Came here to say this!
This is so fucking good, it's almost like they really did play this, I love it you rock dude 🤘🤘🤘
And to add you just earned a new subscriber
The most AMAZING thing I've ever heard as a Metallica fan in all my 14 years of life.
yessssss! so true for me too! Whole body goosebumps and total amazement of what I'm hearing......
The performance is from the Brussels in 2019 if I’m not wrong which is probably the best performance of the song in 30 years
Lincoln 2018
best live Fade to Black is hands down Cunning Stunts, HANDS DOWN. But this one I actually thought it was really from S&M...
I am so disagreed on the track selection for S&M2..there were so many obvious songs that should have been played with symphony.
It was more of a celebration of the first one so I get why they played so many old songs instead of new songs.
Brazuca na área! "Nem só de funk viverá o homem... Mas de toda riqueza sonora que lhe é ofertado!"
I read an interview where Lars said songs like fade to black couldn’t be on s&m and this just proved him wrong
I definitely really missed this, my favorite song, on S & M2, this is really amazing.
How did they not actually play this? This version is an absolute masterpiece, well done
Por dios! Sería un sueño hecho realidad. Que buen trabajo hicieron. ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much!
I am just glad that Robert Trujillo get the chance to be a member of Metallica the greatest heavy metal band in history. Robert is now the longest bass player for this incredible band. I've seen him playing bass for Black Label Society and Suicidal but he deserves to be a Metallica! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸🥁
So disappointed they didn't do this on S and M 2. They missed out so many that were just desperate for a backing symphony. Glad we have the technology today where people like yourself can make these a reality! Great job!
I’m still shocked out of all songs to gloss over, this happened to be one of them
Yeah right? Unforgiven and Fade to Black should've been there since the first one!
@@BenZimmermannMusic Didn't they try The Unforgiven in 1999 and it didn't work with the Orchestra?
@@BryanLevi25 I can get it why it doesn't worked. I struggled a bit myself with the arrangement and I think it sounds a bit weird.
I soooo wanted to hear Fade to black with symphony since 99...Thank you soo much wow
My favourite tallica song, I waited 20 years, really was looking forward to hearing this on S&M2 but again they said it couldn't work. This helped to imagine what it could have been. Thanks a lot for this attempt! Liked and Subscribed!
It was an 8/10. I’m so happy somebody finally did this, but:
- Michael Kamen would not let his orchestra play what the band is playing for 5+ minutes straight
- Cliff would’ve added a tonne of unique phrasing for the orchestra’s part.
...thus the removal of 2 points. But overall, a great first step in the right direction.
Yeah this was my first attempt. I am mot really that happy with the orchestration either anymore haha :D
You should check out my Orion Video. I did some more variety with the orchestra and I think a got a bit closer to a Michael Kamen arrangement there!
Ben Zimmermann ya man! I heard ur Orion right after this. Now THAT was a 10 on 10! Fkn musical notes everywhere 👌 lolll
@@carloronaldo6431 Thank you!!
Hey men, thank you very much.Please make the songs Unforgiven 1, Orion, Spit out the Bone and ...And Justice for All
Escape? :O
@@BenZimmermannMusic This song only one played live but it's my favorite on the Ride the Lightning album
Orion is out now!
@@BenZimmermannMusic Woooww.Thanks men.You are the best
Que bueno, por fin pude escuchar Fade to Black S&M, te quedo muy buena bro!
The part going to the solo gave me goosebumps, it made me cry. What a masterpiece!!!
Sacaaa un the unforgiveeen bro exelente trabajooooo
Y lo hizo también 😁👌
I know that song was made on Cliff age...but Jason give her power, power missed on this version...Rob is awesome, but Jason was more...more Metallica
Men this is Amazing !!!!! .. Thank You !!! ... I would love to hear Sanitarium, can you do it please ?!!!! this is a great job !
Thank you for making this incredible edit/mix of Fade To Black with the symphony orchestra! Sounds beautiful!
Glad you like it!
Instead of having the following overlapping songs on S&M 2:
-The Call of Ktulu
-For Whom the Bell Tolls
-The Memory Remains
-The Outlaw Torn
-Wherever I May Roam
-One
-Master of Puppets
-Enter Sandman
and
-Nothing Else Matters
They should have had:
-Ride the Lightning
-Fade to Black
-The Four Horsemen
-Suicide and Redemption
-Fixxxer (never before played live, so this would be perfect)
-Atlas Rise
-Leper Messiah
-Spit Out the Bone
and
-My Friend of Misery
This would have been my idea for S&M2, but sadly, they didn't ask me what I thought about it!
The one god-damn song they should have put 1st on the list with the Symphony. But didn't do. Outstanding!!
You are my hero, thank's man
hola mi familia hermosa metallica lo mas importante somos una familia no se preocupen mafer baby esta de vuelta en casa estoy bien gracias por todo voy a tratar de volver pase lo que pase cualquier cosita estare aqui recuerdenme siempre la sonrisas y lagrimas sigan de luto sigan adelante 😢😢😢💔
Probably another masterpiece, but the synch between the audio and visual was off, and it was just too damn distracting for me.
So wish this was actually on s&m
Wow... this is really well done, I even thought this was real at first, wondering why I never stumbled upon it!
idk how metallica play FTB,,, all riff are wrong.. they sucks... joke. Awesome dude!
Asombroso!! Cómo el sonido de la sinfónica enriquece esta canción aún más
I mean first time around was because they hadn't played the song since the end of the Load tour; didn't see any play during the ReLoad or Garage Inc tours and wouldn't come back to the set until 2000. As for S&M2...Uhm, I dunno? There wasn't a reason they couldn't do the thing.
I'm surprised myself that they only choose new songs from St. Anger to Hardwired. Really weird in my opinion
Saying that this song "cannot be done with an orchestra" is such a BS statement.
THE SONG WAS LITERALLY MADE WITH AN ORCHESTRA AT THE START OF THE RECORDING.
Im legit crying right now
Great job Ben , just heard your interview with Clint and Ethan on MUYP , you have a incredible ear and talent for composition.
Great job Bro
thank you!
Sounds amazing! Which orchestral library did you use for this?
East West Orchestra Library :)
Ben Zimmermann incredible, I’m an aspiring composer, would I be able to have a chat with you on methods and such? Just in dms or something? No worries if not!
@@samwebb5329 Sure! Do you have discord or something similiar?
@@BenZimmermannMusic For Sure! My Discords samwebb01#1095 Thanks Man!
You should send this to metallica hq so that they can hear how awesome this song if played with orchestra
Don't think it's that easy to contact them :D
@@BenZimmermannMusic you should try! just imagine if they hear this!!
I just want to hear Whiplash with the symphony
You know, you could have left this masterpiece with just the album cover as video the whole time, but DAMN that’s dedication to not only mix a symphony and Metallica performance that never happened and then produce video to accompany it!
Holy shit I thought this was real!
WTF. I just found this... Why didn't anyone tell me!!!! Amazing!!!
Wow man that's incredible! How long did this take to accomplish??
About 5h
Oh man, this is amazing! They should hire you for the next S&M... your are a genious!
I can only dream haha :D
@@BenZimmermannMusic seriously !!!
this was fucking off the charts the only sorry to say this as cali native the only home grown band i never got to see live
That was one Kirk's best solos, I'm surprised his guitar didn't catch on fire!
I saw the Belgium concert a couple of days ago on youtube, really sick performance.
But speaking of video... In this cut he shreds so hard he has to change guitars mid solo haha
?!? This is fake? I thought it was real. Damn you did a good job
What idiot's idea was it to play with a symphony twice and not play the most symphonic style song??
You should do "Fight Fire With Fire" too. It will sound dark, powerful and evil, like a horror movie soundtrack. Also listen Apocalyptica's version in Wacken 2014 with orchestra.
The Unforgiven 2 or to live is to die should be next
This is simply awesome. Waiting for the big collab with State of Mercury.
Ficou tão bom que eu achei que fosse real!🤡
Perfect haha
Wow! Big production. I notice this:
The years pass and Metallica and his production is bigger, all the team is like a family over the years. Congratulations and Thank you for all the songs that every time that I heard them, my mind is blow It up. 🤟🤟
I SOOOOOOOOOOOOO wish they would've done this song!!!! It would have been perfect! I honestly would've been okay with them swapping this for Roam, replacing One with Justice, Ktulu with Orion, and Bellz with Creeping Death. If S&M3 happens, they NEED to do those four!!!
Here's my version of Creeping Death on S&M2: th-cam.com/video/PsW6HFnk4VA/w-d-xo.html
Man, you nailed it. I always missed this song in the official concerts but something drove me to make this absurd search. The surprise was beyond every expectation. Thanks.
Love this, amazing work! Though you did a great job trying to sync the concert footage with this song, that must have taken forever, I find it a bit distracting. Music is awesome tho!
Metallica love's you baby
The best guitar solo✨on the outro➡5:13
Kirk..the only one who can changes guitar 3 times in 1 song.. 🤣
Simplesmente o melhor dos melhores !
Great Job i love it
Thank you!
Seria tão incrível se está música estivesse no concerto
Dang what did you use to make this?
EW Composer Cloud
Awesome man, congratulations, great job, maybe you can do the same with Orion :D
Great! You can do so right now! I uploaded it!
Metallica should watch this and actually try to perform Fade to Black with the symphony orchestra
?
Dude, i was just thinking how awesowe would be that Metallica played this song in SM2. And out of nowhere, this pop up in my recommended. What a mad lad.
Audio and video completely out of sync unfortunately 😞
STOP it's FAKE???? Amazing job!!!!
Holy crap the intro isn't allowed to sound that good
Hehe :D
Kirk is the fastet Guitar Player ever. The only one who is able to change from a Les Paul to a Strat WHILE playing the intro solo!!! :-)
Nice, really nice work that I wouldn't be able to make, ever. That being said, I think this song would particularly benefit from having some kind of prelude by the orchestra.
Awesome! Any idea where the original performance was? I've heard it before, but I can't seem to find it.
It was in brussels in 2019!
Never fade..
OMG is it real??? awesome!!!
No it's not. I made the orchestra
Great sound! But is it just me, or does the sound seem out of sync with the video?
It is.
Hair raising
I'll never forgive them for not playing this and Unforgiven on either show. You filled a deep void here
I love this but am I the only one that thinks the video and sound don’t match up?
It was the best I could do haha
