I think Soul and Metal artists really put their heart in projecting their voices for their respected crafts I know you gotta have soul to sing soul lol
@@peterbuckmaster581, bro?! Not only that part, check out the guy in green on the 2:08 mark. He pop-locks and moshes at the same time. This is the perfect part where the music just takes you to another level.
@@BillMcClintockMashups, check out the 2:08 part where the guy in green is pop-locking and moshing. You outdid yourself with this. BADASS. Good job, bro.
Yes... and he’s not just messing around (100% of the time that is), he’s hearing parts to the whole and purposely creating an alternative to the Gestalt (parts are greater than the whole) cause he makes them feel as one. PS, this music video hits hard, too.
I've watched this about 50 times now and I've come to a very important conclusion: people attending thrash metal shows need to do more soul-train-type dancing.
I saw something close to this once - at Hellfest in France I went to see Cannibal Corpse, and there were two girls dressed as fairies who knew the words to every song, dancing and body popping on a raised level inside the lighting/effects station in the middle of the arena. They might be the coolest girls I’ve ever seen
Dude this guys voice over the riff literally adds a new level of excitement I haven't had from other metal experiences, Soul Metal is the future of rock
Fuuuuuuuck - this is GOOD! Slayer's my favorite band and this mashup gives me the chills. Edwin Starr's voice works extremely well with Tom Araya's. Actually when it goes into the verse part and the drums really hit with the lyrics I'm getting chills AND tears in my eyes. Nice job!!
It goes from around 115 BPM to around 130 BPM several times. Also it feels like this change is spread out over a few measures, and that makes it harder to combine another song into it.
That was a bit of a pain. The real challenge with this one was to change the rhythms of the vocals in some places to make them fit. At some points, there was too much syncopation and the rhythms were a bit too "loose."
Edwin Starr - what a voice! War has been one of my favourite songs since I was a kid, and even though I am a fan of punk / metal I love the old soul songs, especially those from the "psychedelic soul" period when the songs got longer and the lyrics were about war / drugs / environment etc.
Possibly the best mash up you've done so far. These 2 blended seamlessly and it actually was quite powerful, Edwin's lyrics with the brutality of Slayer's music frikkin awesome dude 🕺🏻🕺🏻🤘🏼🤘🏼 Motown Thrash 4 Life!
Absolutely true story...I accidentally found your channel because i fell asleep on my wireless keyboard in my bed hitting random keys as i was rolling on top of it and was somehow awoken to Ratt and "I heard it through the grapevine". I thought i was dreaming but then i got up to see what was going on and there it was and now i am commenting on this one because i went down the rabbit hole. To me the cherry on top is that you do video to go along with the new audio creations. Absolutely outstanding! Liked and subscribed
Hey Bill. Last year I commented that this would make an amazing walk out song for a fighter. Well I became one on behalf of Cancer Research UK and this will send me to the ring for my charity boxing match. Attendance is about 1000 people. Keep up the good work and thank you for this mix!
You have not blended different parts of songs together; you have actually created music. This is fun, powerful and just plain awesome. Not many people deserve the title of 'genius', but you do. Keep it going.
Having been a long time fan of mashups, I felt like I hit the motherlode of mashups tonight when I came across this channel. I didn't know that I missed out so much on Bill McClintock. I've always been a huge fan of classic rock, metal, funk and soul, and Bill's mashups have been giving me eargasm all night, and this one is definitely best of the best. I have put this one on repeat for literally six times so far and I still want to keep listening. Bill, I gotta say, you're better than Wax Audio, LobsterDust, Isosine, MadMixMustang, Go Home Production... You are a true mashup artist and please keep up the good work. Thank you!
The most important video from McClintock so far. He reminds us of the pointless waste of life of the Vietnam War and the turmoil it brought to the states, all while making Edwin Starr heavy and Slayer boogie.
@@ColtraneTaylor There's not a single war that the US didn't do for empirialistic purposes since WWII. At least since Roosevelt and the Banana Wars on Latin America, every US president is a war criminal and a pirate.
This is incredible!! Seriously. The lines "War can't give life/It can only take it away" with the riffs and the 'Nam footage backing them made it downright heartbreaking.
Yow! I'm surprised I missed this one. When the guitar picks up, it really feels like Edwin's spitting fire and brimstone at the very concept of war. Awesome piece.
Wasn't a fan of the Mashup, but daaaaaaamn!! This is so good that I want to cover it live... Just like this. Takes quite a lot to knock my socks off, but your entire body of work is nothing less than impeccable. Bill, you are absolutely incredible, sir.
Dude.... Your work just keeps getting better and better. That was completely awesome! I literally almost jumped out of my chair at 01:24 with excitement. 🤘 🤘
Hell yeah, me too, my eyebrows shot up in surprise and a big grin spread across my face. So far the Black Label Society Temptations mashup and this one are my favorite.
Music joins people of different cultures, so do these mash-ups by combining genres and showing that they are not as distant as most people would have thought. Thank you Bill, I hope that millions of people will discover your work and be inspired by it.

Here’s the real one. Sorry for the April Fool’s shenanigans 😂
Ooh..Bill ya better be!! Love yall!! StephopalOpal aka Big Mama of New Orleans Louisiana
i know you hear this all the time but, thanks for these man! You're a genius
It was worth it 🔥
Absolutely worth the wait/shenanigans. Wonderful.
It's too late Bill, we declare war. Thanks for getting after your creativity it makes a lot of our days better.
Who knew that Edwin Starr's voice actually fit metal really well. He had the pipes.
Yep...one of my favourite soul voices (along with Bobby Blue Bland)
Stunning mash-up...works so well!
By the same token, one wonders how metal vocalists would do singing soul.
+Bill McClintock
Well... Springsteen actually covered the song war.... and made it kinda heavy back on the tunnel of love tour 88
I think Soul and Metal artists really put their heart in projecting their voices for their respected crafts
I know you gotta have soul to sing soul lol
This mashup is a masterpiece. Seriously. It elevates the original “War” to such intensity.... It gives me chills.
I can see this version in a movie. It's got the perfect dynamics
Agreed. When SoH moves up a gear around the 1:30 mark, Edwin Starr's singing seems to gain intensity, and it pulls in you in all the way. Excellent!
@@peterbuckmaster581, bro?! Not only that part, check out the guy in green on the 2:08 mark. He pop-locks and moshes at the same time. This is the perfect part where the music just takes you to another level.
Another level 👌🏽
"chills" understatement....its so gawd damn good its scary
Soul Metal desperately needs to be a thing.
King's X, "Dogman".
We have it, but it never hurts to have moar. ;)
@race -Absolutely!!!
24-7 Spyz
there's christian death metal if you wana listen to that lol
Can't stop listening to this.
The "Induction, destruction,
Who wants to die?" bit is the most metal thing I've heard in a long time.
I love that part
@@BillMcClintockMashups that's f*****g brilliant!
Even sounds like lyrics that Tom Araya would've written...
@@BillMcClintockMashups, check out the 2:08 part where the guy in green is pop-locking and moshing. You outdid yourself with this. BADASS. Good job, bro.
The shriek as the riff kicks in goes pretty well
NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A WAR ENSEMBLE!!!
Jason Lee best comment on this thread!!
This should be the official "Call of Duty" song!
Hell yeah 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
This version blows both original songs out of the water. It's scary good
Yes. Usually I laugh watching these mash up videos but tho one I was jamming hard. Seriously incredible song!
This version is a sobering reminder of how war has more of an impact on the lives involved fighting the war!
When a mash-up becomes greater than the sum of its parts!
His "Staying a Holla back Girl" is that for me as well. Dislike both of the originals, love the mashup.
This does not happen out of luck. This is magic. This is art. This is passion. I wish a long and prosperous life to this man.
Precisely. I was idly watching some funny mashups when came across this one. It's just genius!
Yes... and he’s not just messing around (100% of the time that is), he’s hearing parts to the whole and purposely creating an alternative to the Gestalt (parts are greater than the whole) cause he makes them feel as one.
PS, this music video hits hard, too.
This is so powerful. The way the Vietnam footage hard cuts to modern war footage. This might be the greatest protest song technically possible
As a SLAYER fan, i am not disappointed.
Sick right
Vishas K the Edwin Star fans aren't dissapointed either
It's fucking perfect. Edwin's timbre is very Tom.
Fuck Slayer
@@JohnSmith-gq9gn I seen em in concert and met them in person. What have you done. Absolutely nothing
Chills and tears and not the reaction I expected to have. This one hits hard.
I bet Edwin Starr would have actually appreciated this. The music really lends itself to the underlying horror in his song's message. Good work.
Absolutely. The chaos of war is manifested is this mashup
Besides this being absolutely amazing can we just recognize how beautiful Tom’s hair is?
Slayer on Soul Train 🚂 I fucking love it. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Slayer need to do this live with Edwin Starr as a projection. It’s just brilliant!
Edwin Starr, Slayer, and Vietnam footage.....all I can say is God bless you Mr. McClintock.
Bill McClintock is the best artist of the decade.
That should be on a t-shirt somewhere.
Is there Merch somewhere?
Bill, you’re truly making people realize that music has no “categories” or “genres”. Keep enlightening the masses!
Dissolving musical barriers will not stop black people getting killed by racist white people. Music will not enlighten society.
@@ColtraneTaylor thanky you very much for bringing a musical discussion to the race level. Indeed, thanks for enlightening us.
Agree!🔥🤘 the new Rick Rubin🤔😉😁👍😄
That "Peace, love and understanding" part just gets me everytime
The drum fill and the vocal leading into the verse at 2:06 hit so fucking hard together
Star's lyrics with Slayers riff are deep and visceral AF! It gives greater meaning to both songs! WELL DONE SIR!!!
I was like "what could be cooler than the iconic 'War' beat and rhythm?"
Holy christ, this was amazing
that was metal! well done. I had no idea Edwin Starr would be such a good frontman for Slayer.
Man, Edwin Starr's voice is incredible.
This is the correct way to use the internet
I've watched this about 50 times now and I've come to a very important conclusion: people attending thrash metal shows need to do more soul-train-type dancing.
I concur!
Less mosh pit....more soul train!
I saw something close to this once - at Hellfest in France I went to see Cannibal Corpse, and there were two girls dressed as fairies who knew the words to every song, dancing and body popping on a raised level inside the lighting/effects station in the middle of the arena. They might be the coolest girls I’ve ever seen
One simply does not listen to this just once. One must listen to it again , and again, and again.
This is really brilliant. The metal accents Starr’s message perfectly signed, sealed and delivered by his amazing voice...
Dude this guys voice over the riff literally adds a new level of excitement I haven't had from other metal experiences, Soul Metal is the future of rock
0:28 when the drums synched to the assualt rifle firing... THAT'S when I decided to donate. Bravo, sir.
Damn Edwin Starr was metal af \m/
My god from the daughter of a Vietnam vet...this is high praise...my dad loved this mix..thank YOU!!!
This fits so damn well.
Neno Branco it sure does
I didn't know Soul Train hosted mosh pits.
Brother, Soul Train was no joke. You get in the line, get ready to slam.
look up soul train to rage against the machine
and they were moshing the entire time
we just never knew
+ 1 for Motown Thrash
This is awesome. Edwin Starr was a closet headbanger all along.
Edwin Starr could have easily fronted a metal band as heavy as Slayer.
It would be something like soul metal
Fuuuuuuuck - this is GOOD! Slayer's my favorite band and this mashup gives me the chills. Edwin Starr's voice works extremely well with Tom Araya's. Actually when it goes into the verse part and the drums really hit with the lyrics I'm getting chills AND tears in my eyes. Nice job!!
my face waters every time I hear this song.
Not gonna lie, this makes me cry, especially given the state of the world currently. 😢
❤
“War is Hell.” A masterpiece, Mr. McClintock. 👏
This song builds and builds into a genius masterpiece
It is a soul train that just keeps gaining speed.
MASHUPS! HUH! WHAT ARE THEY GOOD FOR?!
*ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!*
Sir, you are a national treasure, this is special
Truth!
international
@@joaquimcoelho3371 Indeed.
Global
Brother's rythm and soul, everything needed for perfection
It's been 18 months and that switch to double-time gets me every damned time!
1:25 verse gives me chills EVERY Time!
Of all the masterful mashup's Bill has done - I think this one wins the award for the best thematically matched combination.
Edwin Starrslayer and the South of Heaven band. Soul Metal!!!!!!!
With the tempo changing so much, this seems like it must have been a pain in the ass to edit. Very well done.
It goes from around 115 BPM to around 130 BPM several times. Also it feels like this change is spread out over a few measures, and that makes it harder to combine another song into it.

Yes, unlike mashups done for lols or whatever these two songs were just made for each other. Beautiful
The most brutal anti war song ever!
I got chills. Legit.
Where has this been all my life
Soul Train has never rocked so hard!
Liked the time buddy holly showed up to play at the Apollo theater
On repeat like 5x already
Let's hope that the members of Slayer saw this, were blown away and do a version of this in their live shows. It's that freeking good.

Well? How did you do?
@@TheEndKing 7 days before the event covid has it cancelled and I've not had the chance to restart. All the money I raised though went to good use.
Good lord, when the tempo went double-time I actually got chills. "War! On and on south of Heaven!"
Absolutely!!!! Same here....
INSTANT TWO STOMP!
The tempo changes are chilling.
Caught this epicness while in the gym and almost threw a dumbell across the room from the pure fury of this greatness. Great job
Haha I've been there
And thanks!
Always come back to this one. Everything is so perfect. Also, gotta give big ups to my Soul Train Mosh Pit guy in green at 2:08
How does this only have 200k views? First ~100 times I listened to this I got teary-eyed. Everyone needs to share this on their social media now!
This is actually way scarier than the original slayer song
Watching this in 2024!! Some of the best music on the internet ❤
*THIS GAVE ME CHILLS. BAD ASS.*
All of your mashups are masterpieces, but this may be one of the best ever..... Such raw power on both sides. Damn. Gold
@1:22 This is the sickest mash ive ever heard, Edwin sounds like he is head banging hard!! \m/
ich kehre immer wieder hierher zurück, es ist einfach zu gut, um es einfach ruhen zu lassen, man muss es jeden Tag aufs Neue hören...
this is quite possibly the most amazing thing on the internet right now.... well done sir
The crowd scene right after 2:00 gets me so fucking hyped
Some of your mash ups are clever ,funny, interesting....but this is just brilliant.
I have listened to this tons of times.
Superb
Wow they almost had a pit going at 2:08 haha great video!
The tempo change is a real kicker!
More Soul Metal Greatness
Soul Metal. Not that crazy of an idea. Love it.

😡😭 *Was actually moved to tears. BRILLIANT!* 😭😡
*Me, too!*
This is the most glorious mashup I have ever seen. I love Slayer. I love Edwin Starr's "War". I never saw this as a possibility. You are a wizard!
This is excellent. I love when mashups take two songs I'm not really into and turn them into something I can't stop playing.
Internet gold. I'm glad I'm alive to enjoy this. 🤘😐🤘
I can see Mr. Starr standing up in salute for this one. Well deserved Bill.
Never cared for the mashups of old. Something was always...off.
Enter Bill
He has redefined the mashup
These are incredible
I feel like the old TH-cam mashups were done more for comedy whereas everything on this guys channel is just fucking incredibly mixed
If they weren't he sure as hell made them look that way!
Another level, the SLAYER footage is from the War at the Warfield.
They absolutely match up. Sheer genius. 🤘
😱Man! those lyrics🎤 are still so extremely profound & powerful!!! "War can't give life it can only take it away"🔥👍2:19 - 2:21
Most hardcore anti-war song
I've never thought it before, but the lyrics of this song even apply to the war on drugs.
Phenomenal! Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for making this! It is awesome!!
The gold standard of Bill's video. Both together make an even stronger 3rd strong out of two powerful songs.
One big takeaway from this channel: psychedelic soul + metal = perfection.
Check out Fishbone's "Give a Monkey a Brain...". Also 24/7 Spyz. King's X.
If Hendrix hadn't died...THIS.
Wasn't a fan of the Mashup, but daaaaaaamn!! This is so good that I want to cover it live... Just like this.

Just subscribed. I'll be ploughing my way through this mash-up list. My new fave TH-cam channel. Genius!!!
I’m a massive slayer fan and I must say, you did a great job here my friend. Earned a subscriber🤘🏻
This man sings like a metal star. Nice
I cannot get enough of these dude, never stop making these!!!!
Musical chemistry.
