Had another song cooking for 3 months now. It was a challenging feat trying to record while I'm doing internship at the time lmao. Wanted to get this done on my birthday a few days ago, but it is what it is.
I went all out with this project, having super varied tempo throughout the song and went out my way to write new riffs that would fit the RTL vibe. Needless to say, I think it was a good effort. Thanks for listening!
Special thanks to:
- @GreenmiIe for providing the AI vocal script again! This video wouldn't have been possible without his insane works!
- Semtex, for letting me use his sweet album cover design once again!
- kirkhammettwannabe, you know who you are. Thank you so much for supporting my work throughout the years! I was able to push through my writer's block and finish this piece in due time!

No joke, as I started playing this driving home, lightning started going off in the distant mountains. Epic.
Bullshit, Chauncy.
badass man
Badass
the tone and vocals are just perfect, and having real drums is so much better than the programmed ones most "what if" channels use
The drums here are actually programmed. Most other people just don’t know how to mix 💀
@@montythemetalman really? It sounds so good, and bryce actually plays drums so I thought he recorded it
@@IgorGabriel-uo7jj Honestly, I thought so too until I read the description. It’s just so… palpable?
Cliff is back from the dead😂
@@IgorGabriel-uo7jj You can get programmed drums to sound pretty realistic if you just spend a lot of time on the midi to make it sound more dynamic and human. It's time consuming, but totally worth it.
Yep, that’s cliff burton on bass
Nope. Hes taking bass from the 4.95 garage days. I think the wait is what its called
state of mercury level shit right here. matter of fact this is actually better, it's not just rewriting the parts and playing with a different tone, you actually rewrote the whole song and structure, fucking elite work this is.
Sounds cool. Reminds me of their cover of The Wait.
good call
Yes, that little single note lick is from it
Babe wake up a new banger just dropped
Wow!! This song sounds so much better with bass!! Just shows how AJFA is lacking without Jason's part.
4:56 this part goes *HARD*
Sore neck after that one… *worth it*
5:48 "fock" 💀😂
1:30 I CAN'T BELIEVE
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE BRYCE!!!!
You did it again, my dude 🔥 I'll always thank you for existing. The Metallica community truly wouldn't be the same without you on here 🙏🏼💙 You're THE one and only GOAT
Balls of justice painted green
Hahaha,i like it😂😂
Everything, to the last part, went hard. But 1:59 fucks so good.
This just captures something about Ride the Lightning that i can´t put my words on. Vibe, sound, all of it just on POINT. Good fucking work man!
Someone once commented about it, and I think he had the best description:
"RTL always had that Frosty sound to it."
Indeed. Something cold and icey about it.@@BryceBarilla
Chromatic and also something that always reminds me of that clear cassette tape! 🤘
Frosty, like they were "Trapped Under Ice" ? @@BryceBarilla 🤘
@BryceBarilla Honestly, the frosty description is perfect. Frosty is good for describing the sound. For the album's atmosphere, it's also perfect. The clouds are up high, and it's chiller in higher elevations, and the mood of the album is cold. Lots of the songs involve something dark, Creeping Death, Ride the Lightning, Fade to Black, and Fight Fire with Fire are definitely the best songs for that description
Damn this is some cool art, would love it on a shirt!
This is one of the most accurate ai vocals I've ever heard plus that guitar tone is identical man also how tf are you so good at changing the riffs to how they wouldve been played bruh you're insane 🤯
I don't think its AI, more so just scraped off of Justice and mixed differently
@@BearGaming7458The description says thanks to @Greenmile for providing AI vocal scripts. I know what you mean though, the early days of "what if's" did just pitch up the justice mix and it sounds pretty damn close to lightning
@@VincentiusTheSecond I didn't see that, my fault, mate
Proof that time travel and parallel realities are real. I'm almost convinced this is authentic lmao
I didn't believe heaven exists. But this channel could be heaven. Never heard something crazy like this...
Absolutely incredible like wtf, its as if you cracked open a portal in the multiverse and just stole the master from them in that timeline💀
I generally think stuff like this is a goofy waste of time, but I gotta hand it to you, this is pretty amazing. I’d love to hear the whole album “fixed” like this 🤘
Agree
...And Lightning for All!
I always joked that AJFA the song needs to be remixed on other albums and this blew me away. No one wanted to remix that monster of a song on any other album. Great work.
Huge fan of RTL tone and specially James voice..
I can't believe what Bryce, what Bryce just played.
This is such a clever compositional take on the song. It really nails the vibe of RTL. Hats off, this whips ass and owns bones
Bro I always thought this song was kinda overrated but if it sounded like this it would genuinely be in my top Metallica songs
Always excited to hear something from THE Bryce Barilla
It's incredible how close this captures the Ride The Lightning sound. The way people like Bryce and StateOfMercury have managed to replicate the tones of Metallica's best albums are impeccable, and I absolutely love it!
Finally a version with a bass on it 😁 Amazing version!! 👍🏻
th-cam.com/video/YkKEuJwu7iM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qBP0nGbSH5GVaDWR
0:11 Ride the lightning intro
1:12 Ride the lightning chorus
3:33 amazing bass riff (tabs pls)
3:57 Guess what, another ride the lightning reference (90% of the solo is from this song lol)
5:23 Creeping death bridge (WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK DID YOU SMOKE TO CREATE THAT MONSTER!?). Also, the sounds behind reminds me of the call of ktulu
5:49 Ciff's f*ck easter egg on for whom the bell tolls
Pls, do Frantic on Master Of Puppets
No. 1:12 - Trapped under ice
@@WinrlR no bro, ride the lightning
@@Atroz ride the lightning is C - B - Bb and so on
trapped under ice is F# only (+ the fill), justice prechorus is F# too
@@garfieldfan3892 ok, but still listening rtl chorus 😂
No mentiin of the wait on garage days? 0/10
I'm just shook, the tone (as usual) is spot on but the addition lf vocalsas well as the drums, make it such a better song.
Also, the composition !! The real riff mania that's going on that is staple of early metallica, so great, love the reference to all the different RTL songs too, like you always do ;)
I f0Okin love it
Do I hear The Wait? This is great as always, amazing job!
Your best work yet, man! The vocal mixing is absolutely perfect and sounds "original," if that makes sense! Can't wait to see what comes next!
Holy fuck man, this is worthy! It's like a genuine alternative timeline, as if Hetfield and Lars of '88 got into black magic, and signalled to their former selves to record this... Oh and by the way, you will tour Scandinavia in a few years, look for another bus driver 🖤
As someone who hates AJFA's sound and loves RTL's, I truly hope we eventually get all of AJFA like this. I'd actually enjoy the album lol.
I respect your opinion, but how could you hate the ajfa sound? I genuinely wanna hear your opinion
@@Bizzaroni Just way too tinny and hollow sounding to me. Everybody already knows about the bass issue on the album, but I honestly dislike the tone of every instrument on AJFA. Don't really have any in-depth view, the album just sounds incredibly flat to me.
@@WitchDR94 that's a fair point, although I don't agree I respect it
I also have issues with the production of album like you, but my main issue is that the majority of the songs on there are way too bloated in composition compared to MOP or RTL. Frayed Ends of Sanity, The Shortest Straw, and especially Eye of the Beholder overstay their welcome for what little they actually bring to the table in terms of interesting songwriting ideas and unique hooks, that are aplenty on the two albums that came out previously to AJFA.
I love AFJA for the musical compositions themselves but I totally agree you about the sound, it is what makes it not one of my top 3 favourite Metallica albums
This is honestly insane. I love that you not only brought the tone in but combined the elements absolutely seemlessly.. with ride the lightning, creeping death, trapped under ice and fight fire with fire making an appearance. Absolute insane dude. Thank you and idk how the fuck you got James the way you did but bravo. Simply bravo.
Respect for making this its own thing and getting creative with it. So thanks for going the extra mile. Cheers!
barilla i don’t know if you’re still making these but brother you add so much soul to these songs, you should do a what if of motorbreath in the style favorite album
I love it so much, it sounds more aggressive.
How awesome!👏 please do the whole „and lightning for all“ or „ride the justice“ album!
NOW I can get on board with this tune. Wasn't bad, but Ride is my fav album for a reason.
Two great songs to one amazing track! Following!
The main riff makes me want to destroy the drywall
Great to have the Epic outro harmonies in the intro; the AJFA outro harmonies regularly create goosebumps for me.
Dude! This makes Metallica sound like they got weaker on Justice. When that Chorus sneaks in and kicks you in the fking face... WHOO!
Wow! Bloody brilliant! Hell you even introduced stylistic changes more fitting of '84's Metallica.
If AJFA (album) sounded like RTL (album), it'd probably be my favorite Metallica album instead of runner-up. Coincidentally, between the songs and the sound/production, RTL is my fave
Can't wait for the day when I can listen to every Metallica song on Ride the Lightning 🤘
...And Justice for the Lightning Riders
And justice for all who will ride the lightning
I only really like the first 4 albums and I've played them to death. These reworkings are pretty flippin good. New energy in old tunes. The style/tone/timbre matching is spot on. Good work Sir.
The skill needed to create 5:23 is impossible to be put into words. Enormous fucking monster, adore that man.
If and justice for all was like this I never would have turned my back on Metallica.
every one talk about the awsome cover...but that art cover WOW!
Probably one of if not the best rework I’ve ever heard from any of the remakes…and I’ve been on the SOM, greenmile and razz stuff for a longtime
And Justice for all, alongside Battery, is my favourite metallica song. So cool to see a different spin on it.
amazing, just amazing
I'd love to hear your take on Load/Reload crossovers
Wow! I luv Ride the Lightning, and so now I'm enjoying AJFA with your remix/remaster/reimagination...
10:45pm. Here I'm thinking 5 minutes....
😂
😂
I can't stop talking about it... It's a masterpiece!
I can almost feel the crowd pressing me against the rail. Straight-up fi-ah!
that "creeping death" part at 5:23 goes HARD, the instruments sound fucking HUGE
5:48 I see what you did there
For whom the bell tolls isolated vocals
This is an Amazing version of this song, but, more than that, I genuinely think this is the best mixed song I have ever listened to in my life. Amazing Job. God Bless.
Just 0:11 seconds in and I got chills from this segment
Another masterpiece from bryce jesus christ that solo 😍😍😍😍😍
I remember hearing master on ride the lightning (btw that album work should’ve been ride the puppets😉😂😂) and I’ve listened to just about everything album crossover. Dude your work is fucking badass. I love this because ride the lightning is my favorite album. If Justice sounded like this it would be hard to choose between Justice and rtl
Ah man! This is exactly what the doctor ordered! Sorry for being the late subscriber but shfuck yayuh! Keep em coming! 🤘😎
Dude this sounds so good
Love all the Easter eggs from different songs on RTL (Ride The Lightning and Creeping Death in particular). Sounds amazing, great work!
5:25 made me wanna start chanting DIE! lmao
And All The Wait For Justice!
Literally the hardest I've ever smashed a subscribe button
this is GODLY done
¿¿¿Perdón, quien es capaz de hacer esta clase de brujería??? de verdad suena demasiado genial el sonido clásico. Aunque se logra apreciar con esto, que muchas ideas para este cuarto disco ya estaban recicladas de los discos anteriores.
This was amazing!
I love how you adjusted the trapped under ice verse riff into the song at 1:12
Holy crap this is amazing!!
Damn that art is sick!
So good that it has 116 likes & 97 views
Brilliant and perfect
If GUNS N' ROSES have USE YOUR ILUSSION 1 and 2, I think that METALLICA could have RIDE THE LIGHTNING 2
the bass @2:10 crazyyyy
both guitar and bass tone is insane
I was surprised that the voice sounds like James from those times, as if it were from Ride the Lightning, knowing that in and justice for all there was already a change in James's voice, I don't know how you did it but great job brother.
This is KILLER!
(Anyone else get Cirith Ungol "King of the Dead" vibes at the solo section about 4 minutes in?)
This is freakin incredible good stuff Bryce 3:50 is where it gets interesting ❤❤❤
This is as awesome as I expected it to be. Brutal and awesome, incredible job man!
Oh my god the Cliff "fuck" is in there from Bell Tolls
This is way better to my surprise. I wish it sounded like this back in the day.
C'est vraiment un super taff !
Cette version est encore mieux ! Et surtout la batterie qui a un son degueu dans AJFA
Gotta love the intro inspired by RTL and Blitzkrieg
This is great. How about a challenge? Mama said if recorded in Master of Puppets. There 👀
holy SHIT this is insane
Of course not the level of "Holy Wars on AJFA", but also an excellent track.
Great job, thank you!
Can we get tabs for this please this is so sick. Glad you're making content again man! Glad to have you back!
This genre (?) has come so far that this are almost new songs made from scratch lol
I love it!
Stop because why is this so fucking good
sounds so modern and well
No shit this made me cry, it felt just like Metallica and is making the creative process come back to me hearing Metallica in a different way
This is killer man! And way more interesting than the new album! 🤟😎
Ride the Lightning is just objectively good.
You even add the Bell Tolls background "fuck". That was a nice touch to an already awesome reimagination
