A person by a name of "Metall․AI" has stolen a lot of Metallica What If covers (including this one) and released everywhere without the permission of the original creators. Please report this person literally anywhere. Stealing other peoples content and making money out of it is literally the scummiest thing that can ever be done among musicians. I don't even know if I want to continue making this kind of stuff, if some dumbass will just steal it.
Haha, just like you are stealing Metallica songs and making money off of them. I hear what you are saying, and it sucks, but you are doing the same thing to the actual band!
@@eventhorizofications I don't think, that covering songs is stealing. + I'm not making money from my videos since youtube demonitizes them. Just saying, you do you.
@@justmax234 I also wanted to tell you that something weird is going on with that channel, and I think it's some sort of Actual Ai generated channel. So I found your video on regular TH-cam and liked it enough to go on TH-cam Music. I located it on TH-cam Music and added it to my playlist, and when I went to my playlist to look at it there and move it where I wanted it, it was automatically that Met all.ai on my list because the thumbnail was different and wasn't yours but it was your cover. It's as if it automatically took your place on my list when I added your original. I don't think it's a person I believe it's ai bouncing around TH-cam hijacking stuff.
I feel as if THIS is what people expected Metallica to release as a follow up to the Black Album. I don't think that anybody expected Metallica to release a thrash album after 1991, but the thing with the Black Album is that it was so solid that even some hardcore thrashers accepted it. Sure, some were disappointed but most people really couldn't argue with the fact that the Black Album was good. Therefore, I believe that if they released something along the same lines as a follow up, Metallica wouldn't have gotten the crap they got for Load and Reload. Don't get me wrong, I love Load and Reload. Both albums hold a special place in my music library, but they were probably a step in a direction that was way too weird for Metallica fans at the time.
Wow that was incredible! I'm really glad you didn't fundamentally change anything about the rhythm or structure of the song. But you nailed the guitar and drum tones, plus James' voice is on point with no awkward cracks that usually come with AI voices. Bravo 👏
wow dude you need to do others like this! I've been into this AI Metallica thing for months now and lots just don't come out too great. This is crazy good.
Damn, that's sooooo goooood, my friend, I really like it so I think I'll be listening this version instead of original one in my car and this is one of my favorite songs to listen in car btw!
Your videos are so fucking underrated man, I see these people making these shitty Metallica tone videos getting hundreds of thousands of views. Then there's you nailing the entire Metallica sound; guitar, drums, vocals. I wish you got more views man, loveyour work!
Can you imagine this would have been on the Black Album? It would have been innovative for those years!It turned out excellent on you! I love that song more now!!😮
I keep coming back to this video because it's that good. I legitimately might burn it to a CD and then dub it onto a cassette. It's that good. Then I'll really get he og Black Album experience.
this is absolutely gold my guy! there is a guy named GR. check him out! he did various songs on the black album plus more and he didn't finish some songs he doesn't do it no more and i think you can finish them!! i wish i could idk how to do this
that would be sweet if you don't mind me asking? what kind of software are you using to do this? everything is amazing and i am a super beginner at doing professional videos that sound good @@justmax234
@@grimfromwithinI use Reaper (any DAW works) and a lot of different plugins for guitar amp stuff, drum machines, virtual instruments and general mixing. I record guitar/bass with an audio interface that connects to my computer.
Fucking wicked work. Only thing I feel that could have made it just a hair more authentic is adding some growls, I.E of wolf and man/ the struggle within etc from black album. Otherwise nailed it
I wonder if bands will eventually use this technology in their new albums. I mean, after all, guitars are also heavily edited in the recording process already, effects are added and all that, most recorded digitally.

Sino lo supiera, creería que es un tema del baúl, dejado de lado al mezclar el álbum negro.... Lo lograste, perfecto... La verdad, que lo que sacó Metallica del 2000 hacia adelante, no lo escucho; pero estos temas que genialmente usaste IA, si me gustan....te quedan muy bien...acá superaste a Bob Rock.

ive returned to say that this should be far more popular
yea exactli
I got a chub
Agreed
It's insane how they nailed it. Incredible
That AI voice over is getting way too good
They fucking learning fast
For real. Whatever AI model is being used here should be used for the rest of the what if was on The Black Album versions.
Wtf, the Hetfield voice is perfect...
Thank you! Working with the vocals was very annoying so I'm glad you like it.
@@justmax234 Great job! it's probably the best I've heard so far \m/
This is one of the best songs they've ever written
I can close my eyes and hear this 30 years ago as a middle school kid. This is fantastic.
4:51 Caught that Enter Sandman reference right there.
Also that drum fill at 5:22 is from Of Wolf And Man. Cool idea to sprinkle references around!
7:56 Nothing else matters reference
@@xLuisFN yeah you're right, and it fits so well! Truly a great rearranged song
I knew that riff sounded familiar...

Look up “the devil thumbs a ride” by the hunger, that’s what Metallica kinda should’ve sounded like after the black album IMO
@@agentnugent1021hell no that sounds like an awful rip off of white zombie/rob zombie
When James yells "Halo on Fire!"
It sounds so goddamn cool
GuitarRazze walked so AI channels could run.
Big props to GuitarRazze, StateofMercury, and everyone else who've revolutionised the the "what if" Metallica trend
I always wonder what happened to him
This is fucking amazing! 90’s Hetfield on one of my fav songs from Hardwired Album. You Sir deserve a medal for this 👍🏻
holy shit that growl at 2:50 caught me off guard
awesome rework man! keep it up!
Thank you!
it's from the live performance!
There are some nuances that make the song straight outta Black Album for a moment. Thanks for putting it so much effort🫡
Thank you!
This is just better than the original somehow. This deserves far more views.
The wherever I may roam bass slap 🔥🔥🔥
I don't care what anyone says, that is THE perfect AI TBA Hetfield voice.
@@ARandomInternetUser08 Naaah, almost a year after, I realised that my AI model sucks lol.
@@justmax234 I couldn't even tell the difference. I'm not kidding. I genuinely don't think it can get better than this.
How hasn’t this absolutely blown up the internet?!? It’s insanely good, like 99.9% perfection, especially the vocals! It’s actually scary…

2025 - "AI is better than James Hetfield"
2026 Concert - "where's James? , We concert with AI"
😂
wow dude you need to do others like this! I've been into this AI Metallica thing for months now and lots just don't come out too great. This is crazy good.
Thank you!
You absolutely nailed this. Particularly the final sections - 6:08 onwards is absolutely spine-tingling 😄
I have tears in my eyes, it's beautiful!
Constant chills... from 6:08 it's just amazing
Holy shit, talk about a bucket list item being ticked off. Thanks a lot for this!
This makes the original sound like a cover from a different band
The part that starts at 6:08 is so good
Absolutely incredible.
Please never stop making these! I want to hear every song in every album's flavor someday before I die haha
The drums sound PERFECT on here
From 6:08 on is so legendary 🤘
So dope, great work buddy
Vocals sounds amazing on this, incredible what can be done now. Good job dude I enjoyed this!
Thats super amazing dude,i have listened to it over and over again,great job man,cant wait til the next
Damn, that's sooooo goooood, my friend, I really like it so I think I'll be listening this version instead of original one in my car and this is one of my favorite songs to listen in car btw!
This is so great, the vocals were so good, and the guitar tone was on point. Epic!
I just caught at 2:50 that you added the live growl version of "obey" in the background. Awesome detail dude!
this is way too good for ai, thank you so much for posting this ❤
This tone is MONSTERSLY good
This is scarily good
Your videos are so fucking underrated man, I see these people making these shitty Metallica tone videos getting hundreds of thousands of views. Then there's you nailing the entire Metallica sound; guitar, drums, vocals. I wish you got more views man, loveyour work!
Thank you very much!
This is great but to fully appreciate how much the EQ sounds like the Black Albumn you need to listen to it with head phones.
Hands down the greatest ai cover out there. Please do more.
This is good shit, loved the song already and this is phenomenal
Voice is spot on. Guitars are the same though
Wdym by guitars are the same?
This is amazing. Great work. Too much to request A day that never comes like this with added orchestra, similar to S&M2
Well done! Original, precise, with a superb voice and good mastering!
Can you imagine this would have been on the Black Album? It would have been innovative for those years!It turned out excellent on you! I love that song more now!!😮
One word Perfection
@4:30 It just brings out the stink face out of me and makes me want to rage
amazing work🤤
Great job... awesome mix, awesome sound, not trying to modify the song, not bringing old Metallica licks & riffs into new songs. Congrats for that
Damn man this sounded really good. James classic voice can’t be beat🤘
I thought i read "Halo on Fire" and was looking for Master Chief to be literally set on Fire.
This is amazing.
God damn... Amazing work! 😮
I keep coming back to this video because it's that good. I legitimately might burn it to a CD and then dub it onto a cassette. It's that good. Then I'll really get he og Black Album experience.
Awesome work! 6:00 reminds me of SOAD a little bit haha
heard the wherever I may roam sound reference in there with the other song soundbites. very convincing. bob rock says " no", though.
Awesome! I like James hetfield singing sounds voice halo on fire were on the metallica black album 🎸 🎤🥁🎵 ⬛
Absolutely nailed it. 10/10!
: CeJey :
Do a collab please! I’m loving this and I love your stuff as well keep it going! 🤘🤘🤘
Wow! That was awesome!
Bro these metallica mixes are the reason I bought TH-cam premium please make as many as you possibly can I love em bud
It does have that sound though and it's a great song.
this is absolutely gold my guy! there is a guy named GR. check him out! he did various songs on the black album plus more and he didn't finish some songs he doesn't do it no more and i think you can finish them!! i wish i could idk how to do this

Need more songs with James 1991 black album
Very well done!

Esta versión me hizo enamorarme de nuevo de esta canción 🥺
I keep coming to this even if aint real
Just need to throw some "yeah yeahs" in there and it'd be perfect
The guitar tone is spot on but, well, it lacks like one or two layers. Good job anyway!
Amazing work, you should do more songs
Jason: OBEY 👹
Yooo that tone
2:49 Is that a James growl from a live version of the song? : O
Yup
from here > th-cam.com/video/QvmiFc1VF2o/w-d-xo.html
Obey, obey
Come, won't you stay?
Sincere, sincere
All ends in tears
Endure, endure
Thoughts most impure
Concede, concede
But both shall we bleed
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast, is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Allure, allure
Sweetness obscure
Abide, abide
Secrets inside
Deprive, deprive
To feel so alive
Obey, obey
Just don't turn away
Oh, halo on fire
The midnight knows it well
Fast is desire
Creates another hell
I fear to turn on the light
For the darkness won't go away
Fast is desire
Turn out the light
Halo on fire
Prayers cannot get through
Return to sender
Unto which of you
Shall I surrender
Twisting in disguise
Dark resurrection
Lighting up the skies
Wicked perfection
Too dark to sleep, can't slip away
Open or close, my eyes betray
Beyond the black
Come, won't you stay?
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
Hello darkness, say goodbye
What the fuck this is…. Amazing
The problem with black album era james voice ai, is that in soft parts, it still growls
This sounds amazing! 👍
Crazy, if you showed this to a Metallica fan that doesn't know the song, they would believe it really was directly of the black album.
GuitarRazze comes to mind
Basically he started the idea, I finished it.
@@justmax234 he was the best back in the day. Your doing a great job also. Hopefully many more songs in the pipeline.
This song is Epic in any form..I don’t know why people hate it!!!
Daaammmm... me likes. Well done.
It's so perfect :)
Wish this was on Spotify
Holy shit this is pretty damn good
Increíble trabajo! Esto es una joya 💎❤
This would perfectly fit on the Black Album
this shit so magnificent
Black Album bonus Track
good work but the song would be at least 3 minutes shorter : )
Yeah, it actually turned out a bit longer than the original, but I didn't want to shorten or delete the original parts.
A Minute At Most. MFOM Was 7 Mins
this fricken rocks....simple as that...
