- Kala started playing Master of Puppets on guitar the other day, and then I said haha what if it was pop punk tho, and now we've covered a Metallica song together. MoP is pop punk now, no take-backs!

WHAT SONG SHOULD WE RUIN NEXT!?
Stairway to Heaven 😂😂😂
Go trilogy for this beast
Running up that hill next and never ending story after that
"The Stranger Sings" Collection
Anything by the foo fighters!!
@@LukeLostumbo TULARMING NOW TO TACO BELL
anything with afi
The original felt like: "Damn, drugs are bad...", whereas this version feels more like: "Yay, drugs!"
lmao you’re right, until the end when the drugs… are laughing at you?
This comment made me choke lol
Yeah drugs are you outta you fucking mind. I've lost 24 friends to drugs and alcohol. I don't think they were saying yayy drugs. Use your brain before your mouth
So stop drugs, it makes shit music 🤣🤣
This is the best way to describe it haha
absolutely bonkers
bonker? hardly know’er!! 😅😂🤣😭
Jonathan Young ftw!!
Todd and Jon Collaboration potential confirmed?
Kala's voice is absolutely PERFECT for pop punk :) you two are incredibly talented, loved this! I've listened to it at least 50 times since I discovered it last month lol
I love that man so dang much, I lucked hard into having him as a friend haha it’s rad that we get to do stuff like this. I’m so happy you like this! I hope you’re having an awesome week so far
This is like if Metalica had an anime
Good said lol
The guitar riff is really j-rock vibe!!!
Who knew the pre-chorus of Master of Puppets would be such a *MASSIVE* hook when transposed in major from minor.
COME CRAWLING FASTTEEEEERRR
I'm genuinely both insulted and impressed at the same time. Congratulations on confusing both my metalhead side and my pop punk loving ass.
lmao i suppose we did our job 💙
Whats so insulting about this hm?
@@Rei-uq1jv ... it was a joke comment. If you'll read the context of the comment, I actually enjoyed it. Obviously Todd got it as he liked the comment and replied so maybe stop trying to find stuff to fight about on the internet? Just a suggestion.
@@ryanembree8885 i mean, we can at least explain why it’s theoretically insulting haha
metalheads, esPECIALLY metallica fans, generally speaking, have a disdain for high-pitched nasal singing, pop vocal harmonies, and four-chord song structure. so, within the confines of this unfair generalization, metalheads hate pop punk, which makes the mere existence of this cover insulting
editing to add: in grade 8 my slayer-loving ass made fun of my cousin for listening to blink 182… *now look at me*
and now that i have explained the joke, it is much funnier and in no way diminished 😔
@@ryanembree8885 i was just asking if what's insulting about it, is it wrong to ask from people now? lol
I've never both loved and hated a song before like this one 😆
Hahahaha that’s exactly how we felt too while making this!
@@toddbarriage I feel exactly the same...but I keep coming back to listen!! The captions are amazing! Only spotted them for the first time today hahaha
The lyrics go surprisingly well with the pop punk sound. It's soooo good
haha thanks! initially we were like “idk this feels cursed” but as we kept working on it, we realized it worked really well lmao
@@toddbarriage will this potentially be on Spotify soon?
@@SamC_182 hopefully on Friday, providing there are no licensing issues 💙
THE CLOSED CAPTIONS HAD IN TEARS FROM LAUGHING SO HARD. THE SONG WAS PRETTY GOOD TOO.
Dedicated to Howard, Kim, and you
NAPSTER 😂
hahahah thank you for telling me to turn these on!!!!
I’ve never turned captions on until I read your comment. Now my life will never be the same. Thank you! 😂
idk how yall managed to make Metallica sound like State Champs but you did and im in love with it
ayyy thanks! state champs was my wife's favourite band for a bit so i'm sure that influenced something in my brain somewhere haha
I was thinking it sounds like Smallpools
I'm convinced that this man could take any song and make it a pop punk banger
Yo, thanks 💙 I’m not convinced I can, but I’m always curious *if* I can hahaha
7 months later and I'm just hearing this now. TH-cam algorithm did me dirty. This is pure gold. I had to search for this video after hearing Nik Nocturnal say someone pop punked master of puppets lol
lmao i’m happy you enjoyed this!
YT algo constantly doing me dirty, any time a video breaks 10k views i joke about “the guy whose job is to suppress my channel calling in sick”
proof that lyrics are all about context lol. This went from a dark song to a broken love song.
Nailed it 😂 The breathy "yeah" was so perfect for the style, the timbre, the angsty breathing, the echo whisper ending. 👌😂
Hahaha thanks!! We had a lot of fun with this
2:52
Difficult is it to hear, but Todd’s pitch here seems to transcend human ability. What an execution. Goosebumps.
I like how thet covered almost every Wave of Pop-punk.
From the more relatable but still Punk Rock vibe of Descendents, to the second wave of Pop-punk of bands like blink-182 and New Found Glory.
To the Third Wave of "Sadboi" Pop-punk of the 2010s of bands like TSSF, Real Friends.
To the "Emo Rap" kinda fusion Genre today.
Both in Vocals, as well as Music.
10/10 Cover 🤍
I appreciate you noticing that, i think in the ~800 comments on this video, you're the first person to point it out! 💙💙 thank you so damn much
My guitar teacher in high school was really into the idea that if you do a cover of somebody else's work, you should put your own spin on it. You guys nailed it! Excellent!
your guitar teacher sounds like a fun & inspiring person to learn from! Thanks so much for checking this out, I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
I like to think that in an alternate timeline Eddie Munson survives and this is the version of Master of Puppets that plays. Very well done man!
"Howard, Kim and you"
If you're listening and watching but not reading the subtitles you're only enjoying 70% of this video.
I grew up loving the Punk Goes series for how awesome and unique the covers always sounded, how they managed to turn these already cool songs into something even better but I started losing interest about 3 maybe 4 albums ago and I initially thought it was because I wasn't familiar with the bands they started featuring but in reality it was because the songs they were using, I didn't know and the ones I did know just didn't have the magic that previous covers did, I just discovered you about 20 minutes ago, I've listened to 3 of your covers and I'm already falling in love with covers again, my mom's favorite band is AC/DC and of course she is familiar with modern day rock/metal because of me and my siblings and your back in black cover is so good that I'm considering showing her because I know even she in her mid 50s would appreciate what you've done to one of her favorite songs because it is so well done, super stoked to have found you and I'm going to keep enjoying everything you've done and continue to do!!
I’m SO curious what your mom thinks, if you do show her! I’m stoked you’re into my covers :) Thanks for checking them out!!!
Just stumbled across this guy. How in the hell does he not have WAY more subscribers? This dude is crazy talented.
*subscribed!*
Yo, thank you so much! The numbers are gonna catch up eventually, I’m stoked you’ve shown up though! Welcome to the party, I hope you’re having an excellent weekend :)
@@toddbarriage For sure, man! I’ll just be glad to say I got here before you become huge. Cheers and great work! 🍻
I’m 54 yr old metal head, seen Metallica 3 times on the And Justice 4 All tour, that was very creative and a lot of fun 👍
This is so cool of you to say, thank you! I'm super jealous you got to see Metallica in the Justice days, that must've been wild
the subtitles are amazing HAHAHA
lmao thanks Manuel! I’m glad you enjoyed those 💙
Production 🙏 - nailed it as it's metal nails 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Serious Yellowcard vibes, all you need is a violin! Well, well done Todd!
I’m so offended yet can’t stop listening. Well done.
Haha thank you!! I’m stoked you’re into it even though you hate it lmao
you literally took my dads favorite song and my favorite style of rock and created a fuckin master piece
Oh hell yeah, I’m stoked you’re into it! Thank you!
.... my spotify stats say I've listened to this 73 times this week alone so its safe to say I really enjoyed this cover.. I'm having a fat wave of childhood nostalgia with these emo/pop punk revivals lately and MAN everything on your channel is hitting the spot. so excited to have found you and im definitely gonna be keeping an eye on new vids from you my bro!!
Do yourselves a favor and put closed captioning on and read what TH-cam thinks the lyrics are. "Playing Monopoly, real estate misery. Chop your breakfast on a mirror. Take me overseas. An oar is all you need. I'm dedicated to, Howard, Kim, and you." LOL! Those subtitles are fire. (1:35). It says, "[Whale Noises]" at 2:58 too.
the closed caption is killing me, lmao. Incredible work. Absolute monsters musicians.
HAHAHAHA
haha thanks, i'm stoked you're into it!
"Napster of puppets, i'm downloading things"
Now I got Lars Ulrich breaking my shins
lmfao I might have to change those subtitles now
This is probably one of the most blessed/cursed things on the internet hahahaha
lmao thank you 💙
Just discovered this content. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. As a 31 y/o this takes me back to one of the best underrated eras.
I really feel sorry for the Metallica fans and the internal struggle they must feel knowing deep down that this is better than the original.
lmao thanks for checking it out!
Gotta appreciate the amount of thought/effort required for a musician to convert a heavy metal song to one that belongs in a completely different genre.
Thanks, the original was one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar a jillion years ago so it was janky to unlearn that for this cover haha
This is the best genre of music. the most fun to play, and everyhting sounds good as pop punk. love this.
100% agreed
The Used
style lick at the beginning was excellent!
I’M MELTING IN UR EYES 😭
There are plenty of metal cover channels that do a great job, but this is the first dedicated emo/pop punk cover channel I've seen and i didn't know how much i needed this in my life
I’m not even kidding… I hate you for this. I have a ridiculous memory. Now this is going to be in my head forever and I hate it.
xoxo 💙
time traveler: kicks a rock
the timeline:
kick it back kick it bACK
This was dope! Love Kala's voice in the first verse/chorus. The arrangement was sick too, totally Pop Punk Master of Puppets!
Thanks so much Chris! Kala’s voice is what I hear in my head before I sing, I’m always so disappointed when I open my mouth and Me comes out lmao. Such a champ 💙
@@toddbarriage LOL Your voice isn't bad at all dude. I totally get what you mean though, personally at least Lol.
@@chrisslaughter-mudsliide7050 lmao I appreciate that, but that’s genuinely what happens hahahaha 💙 thanks man
being addicted to drugs never sounded happier :D
dopamine receptors go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The intro to this sounds a lot like the intro to The Used's "I Caught Fire"
My mind is blown !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Never even imagined or though about it and end up being so well done holy shit brother.
Pop punk makes me wanna skate through the mall
this comment makes me wanna get a job as an animator but it's actually a cheese sandwich factory but i call in love with a pretty lady at the hotel and i bring her jewels
@@toddbarriage we've all been there brother haha
I imagine Don Lafontaine dubbing (Using his upbeat voice) a Teen/High School Raunchy Comedy movie about a guy who was so reluctant to use cocaine. But after getting some, it boosted his confidence to stand out in class and talk to girls until he got addicted.
"JASON BIGGS AS DERRICK CHUMBLEY IN....."
"MASTER OF PUPPETS"
DERRICK CHUMBLEY lmfaooo
@@toddbarriage But to be real, I enjoyed your cover. Brings me back to the early 2000's.
@@toddbarriage BTW, are you using a G-Dm-Em-C progression?
@@iki2288 yo, thank you!! that’s the exact era we were going for. and sort of! it’s in E instead of G, and i modulate the V chord so it’s an II/V instead in the verses. mostly it’s just G D C, (or E B A in this key) during the chorus
How is it possible that this doesn’t suck. This is amazing. I’m agog at how well this works. Unreal.
Hahaha thanks! I think it's because we made it out of love for both MoP and pop punk :)
sounds like Green Day or Fall Out Boy singing Metallica and I love it
0:18 yoooooooo with the Cloud 9 sticker LETS GOOO!
Kala is C9 royalty 🥲💙
This is like secret Saosin track where the lyrics make sense. I love it!
lmfao that's such a cool comparison, thank you!
Bro, your covers are consistently amazing, like what in the fuck, your channel deserves more views, the sound, tone, and quality of your vids never cease to amaze me
you friggin rule, thank you 💙 i'm sure we'll get the numbers eventually, in the meantime i'll just keep making the best stuff i can & as long as you're here i'll know i'm doing something right!
I can't believe how much Todd's vocals here remind me of Tom Kenny, it's unusually delightful 😂
nothing like the nostalgia of childhood cartoons to get the dopamine flowing lmao
Banger Alert!! +rep 4 cloud9 sticker
gotta rep the C
dawg you're fonkin' bonkers! Love these covers. Quality and content is Legendary Tier
This is what metal should be if you think about it, we’ve turned non conventional music into a genre and “look”. This defines that pissing people of a status quo is indeed metal. Brilliant work of art.
man, thank you so much for this vincent!
This is hilarious and talented. As a metal head I find this version hysterically funny! Great job!
It sounds good too
Thanks, to both you Norska and to S! Appreciate y'all!
This made me laugh out several times. Well done.
lmao thanks!
Thanks for not ruining the lead
This is SO awesome!
I bought MOP when it came out, and never liked the emo-punk style that came later in the '00s.
Having said that, excellent execution on this. Great job.
Think I'll subscribe and stick around a bit, maybe check out more. :)
Hey, thank you so incredibly much! I did a more straightforward rendition of Frantic last year, and i’m gonna do more of my favourite iconic / formative metal songs in the near future :)
Geodude used self destruction.
dedicated to Howard, Kim, and you
Aaah the love you two put into this is tangible! It was awesome to listen to that
I'm so friggin happy that showed through 💙 thank you thank you thank you for bein' here
This is so good! I genuinely got goosebumps. A unique interpretation that is pure joy to listen to! I look forward to more!
Thanks to Nic Nocturnal for directing me here!
I never knew I needed this in my life. I absolutely despise Metallica but I love this.
Thanks for listening everyone 🖤 was so fkn fun to make this.
everyone pls follow this man he's making the best music in the world rn
I hope u have a solid day job.
@@sedugusella i do this full time, but i hope u have a healthy work/life balance and friends who care about u 💙
@@sedugusella I do stuff like this for a living!
@@toddbarriage i work, draw, socialize and exercise, all while living in NYC. Im emotionally, physically and psychologically very healthy. Also I spend a lotta time listening to great heavy metal music, original shit, not garbage photo tracing like your music crap. Good luck sounding like a fuck boy trying to be metal
my brain can't comprehend how is this gonna sound like but oh well.. if it's a Todd Barriage cover I know it's up for something unexpected, can't wait!
if u set ur ears on fire, but like in a good way, like those weird candles that suck out the wax, it's like that but also i'm there
This should've been the theme for the Shadow The Hedgehog game.
that's brilliant, you're brilliant
Thanks bud. Good song 👍
This is terrible. I love it.
Also shoutout to the great captions, because I don't see anybody else acknowledging it lmao
lmao thank you Zak, I’m stoked you’re into the chicanery
Nothing scarier then a pop punk guy telling you to “obey your master”
i pride myself in being an intimidating presence lmao 💙
Well exactly I couldn't disagree with you either way Aiden I've been listening to Emo & punk since early 80's just About as long I've Also been a Metallica fan since then too..40 years . though the song it's self is About drug addiction.. you know that powder stuff that's chopped up for breakfast on a mirror.. similar to the lyrics..
I was curious 🤔 how he was going to do the breakdown mid-range though the song
My favorite part of it an it picks back up to really fast towards the ending.. it's all about being creative..
this is what Metallica would sound like if they had R Kelly's criminal history.
LMAO
This is such an insultingly gorgeous version. It's annoying to think that it sounds so good. ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥❤🔥
my ears have never been so confused
I only found out about your channel because of this cover getting a lot of hate on tiktok by the "Metal Heads", which was pointed out by Nik Nocturnal...
You earned yourself a subscriber
Definitely some of your best work yet, dude. It feels so fresh yet recognizeable. And for some reason, the happy poppy melody to me gives it a more desperate depressing feeling, instead of making it angry like the original. Top notch as always man, both of you rocked your asses off on this one!
Man, thanks so much dude!! 💙 Kala helped reshape the melody, his ear is insanely fine-tuned. Love that man with my whole butt
Wow, that was so much fun!! This cover has such a great, lighthearted feel to it, while still being the same fantastic song. Well done Todd. 😁
Thanks Luke!! our goal was to just go full send with it; we both adore the original, so we wanted to capture that feeling but like... 2022 kids who wear all black haha
Down with the sickness pop punk version. 🤘🤘
This came out great! Glad you decided to go through with it.
thanks
@@toddbarriage Only on my 12th or 13th listen of the day...this is so good!
Straight up thought he was kellin Quinn from SWS. I absolutely Love this cover!
Is nobody going to comment on the amazing spoof captions? NAPSTER! NAPSTER!
I use p2p just to hear Lars scream 🎵
This seriously deserves so much love. Awesome cover 👌🏽
Yo, thanks Donster! Hope you’re having a great week
Amazing cover, and the subtitles had me laughing the entire time
Haha thank you so much! I'm happy I could give you some laughs while you jammed this
BROOO thank you! I went back and watched it with subs on and I'm fkn DYING 😆😆😆😆
More whale noises
Napster of puppets, I'm downloading things 😂
Never been a Metallica fan but holy fuck this makes me appreciate the original
thanks for checking it out!
Interesting way to say you like it better than the original, but I understand!!11 ty for jamming
@@Kalattv in what fucking world does this seem like an interesting way to say they like this better than the original dumbass.
@@Kalattv keep reading it over, it'll click soon
@@wea69420 Way to assume he has any functioning brain cells that haven't been killed off by all the pot and LSD lol
This is fucking phenomenal!!! It sounds so damn good! You both are so talented and have amazing voices and can play! I love how you’ve completely redone the original song into an amazing pop punk song, I’ve been listening to it everyday and keeping that loop button highlighted. Also beautiful ending to the song and love the video! Can’t get enough 💙
I have an odd feeling if you played this and the original for someone who never heard of it or Metallica they might assume this was the original. The lyrics even make sense in an emo/pop sort of setting.
I’m actually more of a fan of master of puppets covers than the actual song tbh
One of my favourite songs ever, one of my favourite genres ever, absolutely nailed it!
oh hell yeah, thanks Ronan!!
I love how happy and positive this song became
Thanks Chester! We just had as much fun as we could haha
DAWG 😂😂😂 this makes me feel an emotion I didn't even know I had
lmao descRIBE it!
okay this is officially the best channel i've come across lately 😆
Pop Punk 101 nailed! 🔥🔥🔥🙌
Ayyyyy thank you!
Sadly I could not convince my 50yo bandmates to adopt this as our new live version. Old people suck. I swear this isn't a phase.
What a shame, are they too cool to play Asus2 and C#m7? emo chord elitists smh
Great job, guys. My emo side and metal side just got into an emotional fistfight and I’m just loving every part of it. Excellent translation from one genre into another. And a quality production. Keep it up!
Thank you so much! Our emo and metal sides were doing the same, it’s a mess hahaha but it was so much fun we just had to keep going
I genuinely don't know if I love or hate this! 😄
Huge respect on the interpretation and production though!
Thanks David! Go with love, it’s the healthier emotion
@@toddbarriage It certainly is! Keep them coming, it certainly made me smile! 🤘😎
Dear goodness this is amazing
thanks Cameron! stoked you’re into this!
@@toddbarriage You bet! Me too! Haha!
I didn't know I could love something and hate it's absolute guts simultaneously... great work!
Sheesh another song with Kala!!! LFG 🥵🥵🥵🥵
MY BABY DON’T MESS AROUND BECAUSE HE LOVES ME SO AND THIS I KNOW FO SHOOOOO 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Let's GO, dude. This is exactly what I pictured in my head. Love ya!
OH HELL YEAH LET'S GO 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
I genuinely don't know how to react to this. I wasn't expecting this to suck, but I also wasn't expecting it to be THAT good.
Edit: OH MY GOD THE SUBTITLES I CAN'T EVEN.
thank you so much for checking this out!! i’m stoked you had a good time with it & my nonsense captions lmao
The subtitles are even greater than the cover. NAPSTER! NAPSTER! haha great video!
lmfao I'm stoked you liked those, they're a lot of fun for me to make! 💙
These captions are the greatest thing since the argument of subbed vs dubbed anime.
Continue with the hilarity.
I couldn't even fathom how this would sound, I legit like this more than the original! 10/10 Great collab
Oh damn, high praise!!!! Thanks so much Kyle 💙
