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.
@@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.
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
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.
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...
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
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!!!
@@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! th-cam.com/video/PsW6HFnk4VA/w-d-xo.html
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 in love at first sight with the absolutely gorgeous violinist wearing the naughty librarian glasses. In addition to that, I love the orchestra playing with the band. Heavy metal at that. The 2 together is like peanut butter and jelly. And the beautiful lady playing a beautiful violin, that's Gold.
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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! 🤟🤟🤟🤟🎸🎸🎸🥁
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.
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!
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.
Shhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. When the giant Bells where hit during the intro solo I couldn't feel my entire back for a minute from the shiver it sent down my spine. Almost dropped some tears.
Superb song mixes with orchestra philharmonic..really good choice for Metallicas & James Hatfield too..sang its!?u're d best of all time bros..saluted u alls!?
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!
The most beautiful song ever written . Awesome. Love metallic seen them twice in Birmingham. I’m sure I am one of the few who seen them twice in Birmingham .
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!
Honestly I didn't search for this, I was listening to S&M² and was thinking "damn Fade To Black would be perfect here, why didn't they play it God damnit!" and this masterpiece came next on auto-play! Thank you, this is awesome
Man!!! I was literally speechless, for God's sake what good work you did, I loved it, and I feel more like I would have been on the setlist of the S&M2, but THANK YOU for the effort you took to do this, I think I love you
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. 🤟🤟
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.
OMG! where have I been and where am I going not to have downloaded this song with a symphony as its chorus. I remember in 85 hanging out with some guys I knew and one of them playing Ride the Lighting. This is the track that got me into Metallica. I immediately took bus down to 231 First Street, where there use 2-B a music store under the L and getting the cassette. Played this song so many times. The entire album always reminded me of Mozart in Motion.

Don't think that's gonna happen. Jaymz would be 76 then. ^^

imagine them in a wheelchair with their respective instrument and with an entire orchestra

if u could do with "To live is to die", it would be another masterpiece...

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
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

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.
