Metallica put you on instagram. Congrats m8
Send me the post
@@quaidmarshall5343 yeah I want to find it now
I need the post!!
Well that's a problem, It wasn't a post
Ignacio Barrio Aranda what else would it be
I can't tell if he's actually playing or not because the sound's so spot on
Ya
5:52 he makes a mistake
Zayd Acevedo I don’t hear it
No way his he playing!
It's prerecorded so it doesn't sync perfectly
04:27 This solo is really breath-taking. Especially when you see how technically complex it is. Brilliantly played.
Surprised that nobody noticed. Brilliant !
i tried to learn it. took me a very long while. still not perfect but i guess ill keep trying. i just love it too much
@@dannydav709 i believe in u
@@dannydav709 how’s it going??
@Onlooker1001 your pfp got me tryna get a hair off my screen. Kudos dick🤣🤣🤣🤣
@2:19 is still and always has been my favorite part of this song. That clean part has always been able to raise every hair on my arms and neck to the point it almost feels like a high. It's like... Through all the mania and shredding and brutal riffing comes this somberness, pure emotion of near hopelessness and despair conveyed through wood and metal. Fucking stellar cover, absolutely 15/10
That's the part of the high when using, euphoria..
It gives me a drifting out to space feeling and i vividly imagine it to idk why
Ok so ive never heard this song tbh and clicking this comment and reading that whiles listening was mental my guyy ❤👌🔥🤯
This will always be my favorite part as well, it's just so well done.
That tone! Oh... my.... god! Your covers really equal perfection! \m/
I had to NAIL it to do this one justice :) THANK YOU!!
You two masters should do a collab . King and Queen 😎😎😎
Hi Jassy 👋👋👋
Yes but can you two play smoke on the water????
80% of tone you can get by using right cab IR with almost any high gain amp. I have some for Master, Sandman, Sad but True and others.
Can’t even imagine how James can sing and play this simultaneously
so true, its truly incredible. and to be so exact and on point with the rhythm. ppl may cast hate on it, or underestimate it, but damn is it both crucial and very difficult
Exactly, thats what makes him james hetfeild
Imagine Chuck from death
not to mention writing it..
I could sing and play master of puppets 3 months into my guitar playing, not hard.
RIP Eddie Munson 🤍
Shut tf up man why u spoiling
So you predicted it 3 yrs ago
@@jacksixinedwth7859 dumbass he posted the comment 5 days aho
yeah mate😢
do it again but do the eddie munson riff
Everybody's Talkin bout 4:27 but 2:19 till 3:50 is the one for me, that solo has too much soul to it, I can't describe it 🪐
me too but I didn't know how to reproduce the same sound on my guitar amp
ikr. This feels so surreal. Not the best or the hardest riff but it has 100% soul and heart to it. It's more beautiful than "amazing solo" lol... thats how i described 🤣,....horribly
I prefer solos like this, which are just a slurry of notes.
@@corpsvelt8180chorus pedal
It gives me a drifting out to space feeling and i vividly imagine it to idk why 3:32 sounds like you're course is headed towards a blackhole and you feel anxiety from it, at least that's my take on how it feels to me
MASTER. 🔥💀🔥
of puppets
Maters!
@@jamppa2724 is pulling the strings
Yes Lad
Battery next!
Awesome job! You matched the tone so closely that at first I was wondering if you were somehow able to remix the original recording with louder guitar! Impressive.
Thank you man! Love the Axe FX :)
@@ColeRolland the clean tone is a tiny bit off, but i mean, no one is ever gonna get it exactly, i think you did absolutely everything you could. You even detuned your guitar, something that i didn't hear any other covers do
@@kjl3080 Hey kj
@@EvAn-tm3yb hi
I know a guitarist and a drummer, they both played this perfectly one night in a garage and I stood there stunned - amazing to see this live
So this version came on my TH-cam music, and I was like "oh is this a remaster?" Like it sounded almost identical but just slightly different (harmonies slightly louder etc). This is honestly the best cover I've ever heard, you nailed it
Cole rolland: alternative picking
James hetfield : seek and destroy
I wanted to like this comment but it’s on 69 likes, I’m sorry but i can’t i just can’t😭😭😭
@@tyrinh34 now you can
Парень красиво играет
This is actually good^^
Ironically enough, James alternate picked a little bit in Seek and Destroy, behind the solo I believe
That's probably the closest tone for this song that anyone will actually reach
Nah,check this out:th-cam.com/video/PdkkNuu4Ckg/w-d-xo.html
Rocksmith makes it easy, you can hear a demo on my channel
I'm willing to develop carpal tunnel to get as close to the tone as possible
@@JacketCK or maybe buy rocksmith
@@JacketCK Tone doesn't cause carpal tunnel... for the most part preamp, amp, pedals, and guitar itself cause the tone. While technique is a factor, it's not that much of an influence on tone
5:04 still the most badass riff of all time
It is taken from David Bowie - Andy Warhol (0:48). Check it out
My hand felt like it will have a fukn 6 pack playing this part. Had to alternate pick it lmao
tbh i agree with you it is so chilling
For me its 4:54
Yeah I love that riff aswell, he is just playing the E minor scale but sometimes you don't need more than that to get a killer riff
James Hetfield used to play it faster live AND he had to remember the lyrics and sing them too. He genuinely was a metal God in the 80s early 90s and he doesn't get appreciated enough for it.
Nah man. He does. Everybody knows it.
Doesn't get appreciated? Are you kidding me bro.
Well they have always been my number 1
James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet be like:
"Y'know, we paid good money for 24 frets, let's use all of what we paid for."
Kirk only goes up to 22 frets, and when James solos its not 24 frets
@@Samford_ his "Greeny" Les Paul is a 22 fret, but Ouija has 24, and I think he goes all the way up there in Creeping Death, might be wrong tho
@@thatguy_apu im not 100% sure but i dont think kirk ever goes up to 24 frets in his solos
Samford nah he went 24 in blackened
Kirk never hoes higher than 22 frets. Most of the solos end with that(whole step bend on 22 fret) including a wah pedal.
I have NO idea how the hell you alt picked this and managed to make it sound as good as James Hetfield's pure downpicking. You. Legend.
Andrew Salazar he picks really hard
Uhh....James does rythem, not lead,
Ain’t being mean
Because it’s heavily edited and produced to get the tone where he wants it. This isn’t how it sounded as he played it.
@@rtbiscuit4568 James does everything. James writes more than 90% of Metallica's guitar stuffs. He also writes almost all songs. He writes and records all the Harmonies too. He is Metallica. Kirk can leave tommorow and metallica would still be around. No James = No Metallica. Also, there are no Rhythm Guitarists of James's Calliber while you can easily find a lead guitarist that can exceed Kirk's Caliber.
Did I see...
*Alternate Picking?*
It's hard to tell sometimes. Cole's hands does a lot of weird s******
Only Cole Roland can make playing Smoke on Water look hard
It's the only way man, Hetfield is a god. But he also has plenty time to practice and work out that beefy arm of his. 😬
BRUH.
It doesn't matter cause he can play it good
Fuck, it is real?
I have been a fan of Metallica since I was a young teen in the 90's and I welcome all the stranger things kids to the world of Metallica! 🤘
Finally! A Metallica “old” fan that’s not gatekeeping respect
@@Elijah.j.Leanos ikr. I've always loved rock/metal music, but ST just reignited my love for it, and I'm only 19. 😂
I've ordered a couple discs from different bands, one obviously being Metallica's M.O.P.
Yea, my dad made me listen to metal and he was a metalhead and guitarist(i am aswell now) and i welcome every st fan to metallica

hello from brazil! stranger thinbgs did a stupid cover. they don't even know the real history of the band or the lyrics. just imitates part of the instrumental without caring about the soul or the context. maybe they don't even know that the master is drugs and the puppet is james himself. It's a plastic world today that throws away the essence and is left only with the noise. and these apartment kids today who have tea with their grandma instead of beer with their friends in the real world think they're rascals and because they played a heavy old-fashioned sound they understand the soul of what solidified metal and really did it in the past . and what the hardships of drugs and the weight of life do... playing a heavy rif without giving context or understanding things is nothing. just pop marketing on really important topics. drugs were my master in the past too....
@@gioviecelli couldn’t even let the peace be for a month hello gatekeeper
You make it look harder
ikr
Innit
So he just covered the song perfectly (besides the alternate picking 😂) and he made it "look" harder. Behave gentlemen
@@BaileyBaratheon I just found this guy a couple videos ago and his stuff is incredible. And already I'm noticing a bigger uptick in dislikes than the previous videos I watched. Probably people so upset about alternative picking. It's so ridiculous the things these sensitive people choose to be mad about. I mean it's an exact copy of the song. Sounds just like it. And people are going to bitch about the technique? Who fucking cares. I actually don't understand people.
NYC_Goody hes playing wrong tho, he plays 7-9 6-8 5-7 power chords on the 2nd and 3rd string when it should be 10 -12 9-11 8-10 on the first and second string
This song is a test of stamina and precision. Definitely Meatllica's most technical song.
especially when the song is originally played with all down strokes
This song is the fastest by them, at 267 BPM. Nothing else matters is the slowest at 46 BPM.
no its dyers eve.
The Frayed ends of sanity is more complex...
@@JPR17 no its dyers eve.
What a beautiful performance of that solo 4:27
4:25 Fix me!
At the same time: Pick slide
I played guitar when I was 13, I’m 20 now. I didn’t play it for long as my father sold my guitar as he was an alcoholic, I’ve been listening to this song for years, seeing this video made me inspired to get another guitar and start all over again. It will take years, but my goal is to be able to play master of puppets, I absolutely love it
Theres a Metallica rule of playing their riffs. DONWSTROKE
Wow! DONWSTROKE! I love dOnWsTrOkE.
it is pronounced DOWNPICK
I think you mean downpick but yeah sure
I down pick anyways
I know you guys wouldn't know nothing about it but I down stroke
I’m convinced that this is the original recording
Listen to it closer its not. Not all can hear as good as others
VFXGarrett he’s giving a compliment lol, it’s that accurate...self promo in 3, 2, 1...I COVERED THIS SONG TOO AND YOU CAN EASILY TELL ITS NOT THE ORIGINAL CUZ I SUCK BUT CAN U PLEASE CHECK IT OUT AND TELL ME IF IT WAS SOMEHING YOUD WATCH OF YOURE BORED
VFXGarrett im pretty sure everyone can hear its not very similar to the original but yea this boi complementing our boi
he used the original recording though, and we can hear it louder than his guitar, I mean I like this guy but his covers aren't really meant to be taken as 100% accurate.
@@japhethmoses5185 I see that unravel cover 👀 we stan
4:58 Its so hard to fight back the smile at this point in the song. Its my favorite part.
Remember folks.....James hetfield was only 22 years old when he wrote this. No youtube, no social media just skill. The albums entirety was written in just 8 months start to finish. Think about that.
4:26 i told my lil bro if he can play this imma buy him an iphone 10...
And the next day he told me his phone is doing great
I feel sorry
Lol dud
Its not that hard as it seems.
actually its pretty easy any intermediate can play it...it looks hard tho
@@salt1360 with a lot of learning and practise yes otherwise no
Me: I've outgrown Metallica, Cannibal Corpse is the way for me.
Also Me: MASTER! MASTER!!!(aggressive air guitar)
HAHAHA
oh u like that "gr gr gr" shit
Fl4nkedx that what?
😂 nobody outgrows Metallica!
Jack Owen and pat O’Brien WERE cannibal corpse. After they were gone it’s all horseshit. And the growl singing is just dumb even when it was Chris Barnes. Morbid angel is another great one to check out if you like cannibal. “ Blessed are the sick”
Desolate ways song is easy
I’m not the greatest Metallica fan and this is awesome.
3:34 this is my fav part of the song, I don't think any other song has or will make me feel this way. Absolute amazing dude 🤘🤘
He’s so good he could play that with all upstrokes
It has to be like this otherwise its not an accurate Master of puppet cover
@@DooomiNation I think he knows lol...
@@DooomiNation it is probably a joke
Yes of course it was a joke, i’m a guitar player i would never say that seriously
Jules.B true until you pull out through the fire and the flames
2:37 best part of this song
Completely agree
Yes
That's Melody It's So Good
Light’s theme from death note sounds so similar to this!
Dude it sounds so much like the original that I start thinking that he's not even playing it by him self...
hes not
@@owenpage7551 really??
This was an absolutely PERFECT cover. The BEST cover of any song I have ever seen on you tube. You did it exactly right. Note for note. You set the standard for guitar covers. Everyone else’s covers are simply child’s play. Now I see them all as peasants. 👏
Is this the studio version or a cover?
My god, you got the tone perfectly! Awesome!
Thanks man!
The stage avenged sevenfold...... PLEASSSSSSEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Huge fan....... You're one of my biggest insperation,,, I'm not lying
Hell yeah this would be too awesome!
yes!
Yes Cole.....please..11
DO THIS!
utterly I'm looking forward to watching it!!
"Lol. This is fake"
**Goes to my bed and starts crying**
No you are right he isnt even on the right frets also when the audio from the original and this are crossed they are identical
From all guitarists that played this song, i can say that this is the best one
Please do tornado of souls by Megadeth ;-:
Plz plz
yes plz
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Guys i know that you are only waiting for Marty solo :P (im waiting tooo)
Please
(Random hand movement intensifies)
*Cole alternate picks master of puppets*
*James Hetfield has entered the chat*

1:30 this part gave me chills
*OBEY YOUR MASTER!!!*
I wish we could get these covers with less mix. I want to hear more of your raw tone. I feel like a lot of mistakes can be covered up by the editing process, but you lose YOUR tone. I am pretty confident Cole's still a great player, that's why I want some real tone instead of something sounding so close to the original mix.
*You are the master Cole.*
*Nobody else*
:)
I mean Marty freidmans pretty cool
James hetfield is the master mate
Noah Boucard what about James Hetfield
Yeah Papa Hetfield and Marty Friedmans are also masters
Notification, o0o the master guitar player has posted. Hmmm gotta go *click*
Okay so I’ve been playing guitar for about 12 years and this song is by no means hard to play but my stamina is about 0/10 when I comes to this so props to you kid 🙏
So impressive how he can also play the drums on his guitar.
Its the backing truck
If u want to see someone do that watch the acoustic guitar cover done by Marcin patrzalek (best acoustic cover)
NGL this is really good
guys.. it's a joke?
@@cruz8343 we know lol
what did we do?
I smell a r/whoosh coming
OMG You actually took my request. 😱😱😱😱
hell yeah man!
codydiam191 FEM *their. It’s not that hard.
It is amazing how much music has helped us all on our personal journey on this wonderful world......
You should be proud of your performance. Total precision. Great video and sound. And so awesome to see that you seemed to enjoy it so much. Serious props and respect to you. A Master!
One of (if not THE) best covers - you set the bar high !
:)
4:35 did he just...... HOLY SHIT DUDE
Cole: *alternative picks*
*James Hetfield wants to know your location*
Edit:why does this have 700+ likes 😂
Hahhah
Didn't Kirk Hammett write the opening riff though?
Para él es un insulto
ManoWar maybe but James plays it
Why do you care so much about people liking your comment? Why does what they think matter at all? Not trying to be petulant or an ass, I'm genuinely curious. I've never understood the fascination behind the comment liking numbers.
this tone is amazin 😭😭😭
thanks for not alternate picking this amazing song and playing it the way its played
this is amazing! I started playing guitar a year ago and i know that i am not even CLOSE to this but this video is my inspiration to keep going and i hope i can play like this one day🤘🎸. Great job!
I left the video open and checked something else, i FORGOT I was listening to a cover ! Really great playing and tone!
Thank you 🙏🏻
5:05-5:22 is literally my favorite. It just makes my soul happy
The precision on the tone matching is jaw-dropping
I have waiting for this cover since i subscribed thank you so much metallica forever!!🤘🤘
Can you cover *Sad But True* next ?
Soon!
@@ColeRolland yeaaaaaah ! 😁😊
@@ColeRolland OMG yes please !!!
Yeaaaah 🤘
@@ColeRolland megadeth - tornado of souls PLEAAASEEEE!!!
I feel like playing Master of Puppets is a right of passage for any guitarist. Great job!
Glad you think so!
Your tone is absolutely incredible my guy! Keep up the great work!
BRILLIANT GUITAR WORK..EXTREMELY HARD TO COPY..I COULDNT TELL THE DIFFERENCE
Thank you
I was nervous before the solo. You completely nailed it!!! It gives me the chills still.
That broad smile and fist pump at the end. Understated celebration, Cole. I’d have been bouncing around the room if I’d pulled off a performance like that. Fantastic. 👏
DUDE!!! almost flawless! only thing missing was down strokes all the way through but that's literally just me nitpicking. That solo had me shook! Great cover homie 🤙
EDDDDDIE!!! WERE GONNA LOCK DOWN ON T MINUS 30!!!
That was incredible dude. By far the highest quality cover I've ever seen.
I like how he’s having the time of his life while playing
He’s playing like Hetfield himself, down strumming only. What a beast, excellent cover
did you watch?
fr did he even watch
I’ll forgive the alternate picking because you didn’t put a note wrong. Incredible cover. Simply incredible.
Okay but when it's edited to fuck, and filmed in multiple takes, of course it's going to pretty fucking good?
PERFECT! No words!
the purple guitar is CLEANNN.
James laughing under his bed about his alternating picking
Bro this just sounds like the real thing wtf XD
Ahrix 54 it is
He uses a viual amp website called bias and you can get any tone
well that's cuz he put the real song at a higher volume than his own guitar, besides it's pre-recorded, which is a bit disappointing.
@@samkoch4829 lol he doesnt use cheap thing like Bias, he use Fractal Axe FX
Play the intro a 2x speed; look at his hands
good god!
Play Kirk hammets solo at that speed, Cole may ur hands rest in peace
That's basically James picking in a nut shell
I ended up watching the whole vid in 2X speed 🤣
Look so hard!!
I’m 18 and love Metallica you killed it on this one 🤘🔥
this video bout to blow up
It already had.
YESS!!!! MASTER OF PUPPETS!!!🤘🤘
Notification squad!!🎸🎸💙🖤💙
Amazing job Cole, amazing effort by a true master 🤩
He makes solos look super hard but he plays them so perfectly
because hes not actually playing it
Well I think he can definitely play the stuff, I was just commenting on his finger movements lol. They’re very intense so it looks like it’s more complex to play that it actually is
yeah its weird what he does with his fingers to make it look harder than it is
Dude, this is perfect. The speakers are humming just like they should in all the right places, just like when they play it. Amazing
🤘🏻
Rest In Paradise with Chrissy, Eddie 😢💙
This is, without a doubt, the BEST Master Of Puppets guitar cover I've ever heard...nice work 🖤👊🏻
u in Snapchat??
Awesome job with the solo, man. That's not easy. Dedicated AF, respect.
I LOVE YOU!!! OMGGG IM CRYING
Dude!! Literally spot on! You inspire me to practice more!! Rock out! 🤘
I've seen alot of lessons and tabs get this song wrong, its one of the first Metallica songs I learned. This nails it, and I'm glad I've seen someone play the damn thing so similar to how i do it. Legendary cover Cole
That's absolutely amazing great job as we all know how hard that riff is to play 100% to you.
He's doing it using alternate picking though. This song in particular is famous for being mostly down strummed. That is what makes Hetfield's playing impressive. MoP and the opening riff in Disposable Heroes is just forearm destroying.
@@johnjjohningtoniii2439 "He's doing it using alternate picking though." And? It's still a hard song to play, down picking or not it's a massive test of endurance. Put some respect on Cole's skill as a guitarist.
..And as a fashionista. The rolled cuff slate washed jeans with those boots are gorgeous.
Absolutely incredible! Great to see artists enjoying themselves when playing!
This is the closest cover ever that I've seen from this song. Very good job.
Those downstrokes are on point
Bravo!
Metallica - Master of Puppets. Russia loves Metallica, thanks for Tushchino 1991!!! Fans forever.
I been practicing guitar scratching off the accumulated rust of not playing for 3 years, this song has been a great new project to start getting back into it! So if you don't mind I'll be using this video as a guide.
Sheesh that solo shredded! Well done!!!!!
here because I think Eddie Munson will play this in volume 2.
I hope this or the final count down
It is. It is on the soundtrack for season 4 on amazon music
This aged well.
U WERE RIGHT
Of course he or she was right he watched it obvious
4:26 Eddie! T Minus 20 Seconds!
The sudden cutouts during the chorus are brilliant.
