@@birdxsoldier106 bro wtf was i saying in 2021💀 i don’t even remember commenting this. fuck😂😂😂💀. but yes the battery has been charged for 40 years now😂. would’ve been 14 or 15 when i commented this😂
Aww mate, you made my day... i run about in my life quoting this reference, and do a good impression of it... falls on deaf ears though... Someone else appreciates it..
I honestly felt like I was listening to AJFA and forgot that you made this I was in a trance. You capture the Metallica essence so well. I think you and Nico Borie should hook up and make a totally original justice-themed song!!! That would be amazing
The Intro starts like To Live Is To Die and has the same structure as the Intro of ...And Justice For All. The tempo is faster, like Dyers Eve. In the middle of the song it has an interlude similar to Blackened, and then the slowdown turns into the faster section of the song like ...And Justice For All, And in the end it ends in a dry way like Dyers Eve.
At the end when it was the freakin dank punch riff and James is yelling battery, I thought it was just going to be instrumental like most AJFA songs are, so right I thought it should go in I yelled BAT-TER-YYY and James yelled it at the EXACT SAME time, so many chills dude totally made the song for me
Yknow, i was having a kind of rough past couple of days, but listening to this really kind of made me feel a little better. It sounds fantastic, the mixing is really well done, i love all the little homages to both Justice and Puppets in this song. Great job!
Oh my GOD that was SO good! From the NASTY, but PITCH perfect tones from the Justice era, to the SPIRIT of Battery captured SO well, to the INCREDIBLE drum performance (god, can you IMAGINE if Lars kept practicing hard after Justice?) and the fun turn on its head of the SOLO being a little in the background versus the bass!? THOSE NASTY BREAKDOWNS IN THE MIDDLE!? Come on man. This was AWESOME. I was literally grinning ear to ear and by the end, LITERALLY windmill headbanging in my bedroom as I listened to this. GREAT work SoM! GREAT work!
I think justice has a soft spot with guitar players because it reflects how most of us start.. guitar player and a drummer, maybe barking some kind of vocals through the damn guitar amp.... we didn't have a damn bassist unless we could get our other guitar playing friend drunk enough lol
@@plasmakitten4261 I got to re read my comment bc of yours lol I was pretty buzzed up and for the record I've been at it 30 years and still can't play half of it lol
You are perfecting your Craft here, man. This was giving Seattle '89 AJFA vibes. Shit was on point: playing, mixing, vocal presence/manipulation, transitions. Stay grooving, man
Nobody does these better than you do. You don't just switch the tones, you reimagine the songs and accurately capture where the band's head was at the time of the album. It's incredible.
Holy SHIT this is good, god the tones are perfect now, only complaints is that James has a *very* faint whisper in his voice I guess? Think that's just a side effect to making his voice a little deeper, I can deal with it tho. I would like some more bass, despite AJFA being notorious for not having. Still, this is fantastic!
This is possibly the greatest thing I've ever had the pleasure of listening to on TH-cam. I'm not exaggerating. A masterpiece. Amazing job well done on this. 🤘☠🤘
Please return the 18, 22, 25, 28, 34, 37, and 42-year old James Hetfield clones you are holding hostage along with any younger clones waiting to take their places. Do the right thing.
I've been a real fan of your work since the beginning, but on this track, there's an absolutely great creative freedom. It's more than "what if". Bravo, go on!
Whoa, fucking whoa... I expected only the change of tone. An entire re-arrangement to keep it in style? lovely! One of my favourite albums ever just got another great addition! :D
Genius! Thank you so much for doing this! Production/mixing is everything in metal, and justice's (if the bass was audable) production/mixing was revolutionary..
I was grinning like an idiot the whole way through because I always said to myself: "Ah, I see what you did there!" Like a fucking easter egg hunt for fans. This is amazing.
Funny how most people complain about the lack of bass on Justice but are so interested in how all songs would sound if on Justice ! I happen to love the Justice sound
Wow! this is so great! I just love the guitar sound on AJFA. I want all sounds in the world to go through the AJFA filter, dogs, cats, cars, weather forecast...
This is why I love music so much. Something so badass and accurate gives me the giggles. One does not expect it to be this good, and when it is, we cannot rationalize it and just have to giggle uncontrollably. Well done!
OMG! Just when you think you've heard the best, the man cranks out another absolute masterpiece!! My God man! I've always wanted to hear the intro to Battery done longer! That truly made my day! EDIT! holly sheep droppings! This by FAR is my absolute FAVORITE! you're amazingly talented! Thank you for this! I have to hear it again!
Damn son! You really set the bar high on this one, perfect work, the tones, feel, composition and structure all match as if we're experiencing Metallica from an alternative universe!
Congrats on 20k! 5 second in and the Merc shows us guys gratitude! Hey...THANK YOU! We really enjoy what you do, you're talented and we enjoy the content! 20k!!! Awesome, keep up the grind.
Imagine making a living from making music, you made your own unique tone and feel with your music, it’s irreplaceable, no one can do it like you do since you made it, then State0Fmercury just perfectly mimics it
This is your best work yet. And you keep putting out killer stuff. Holy fuck this is accurate and fucking absolutely epic man. You never cease to impress.
Man you are a genius. I'd give anything for you to do the entire load and reload albums with the black album style - dude seriously I'd pay! Can I pay you for this?? Please Mr State Of Mercury 😭😭😭
I wish I could relisten to the and justice for album for the first time. I was super surprised by Lars' unexpectedly interesting drum fills that weren't as present on the earlier albums. Kirk's solos were also super percussive and evil sounding with dive bombs and such. And James, he went from boy to man from puppets to justice. This album will forever hold a place in my heart and you just did this rework, JUSTICE
We're reaching levels of accuracy that shouldn't even be possible
Exactly
Yup
@@sejn195 Hah! Thanos! Good one!😀👍
Loved you in Emperor

For the sake of pure insanity: What if "Nothing Else Matters" was on "Ride the Lightning"?
My God
Haha! Hell yea!
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS ON HARDWIRED
but it was, they just changed the name to Fade to Black
@@Hunt4Yoshi thank you
Somewhere in a weird cross section between Battery, Justice, and Blackened
Yeah I catch a sense of …And Justice For All(song)
Especially the slow-down part…
Exactly👍🏿👍🏿
Damn. You beat me to it lol
justice blackened and shortest straw
Extended to 7 minutes, in true AJFA form. Well done.
Still not long enough
Fred Tedason 3, not 5
AJFA's average song length is only very, very marginally higher than MOP's
Fred Tedason Dyers Eve and Blackened being slow, LMAO. Are YOU stupid?
Randy Harvester, Eye of the Beholder, Frayed Ends, To Live Is To Die, One, AJFA, Shortest Straw not being slower than this, LMAO. Are YOU stupid?
The battery Is fully charged now
It’s been fully charged for nearly 40 years now🤣🤣

Good one
This is just simply fantastic.
Its like hearing Metallica for the first time all over again.

@@adambartlett6421 I know what you did there 😏

The drums and that little run you did was fucking amazing
St anger on justice do it!
top suggestion
☝️
Halls of Snare drums painted green
Won't help.
that would be sick, would probably change my view on st anger
now you should do blackened on MoP since you did the MoP opener on AJFA
oh wait he already did that
That’s literally the best rework lol
@@kaidenbraught4573 agreed :.)
03:55 that Justice reference is so tasty 👍
It really is. Hit harder than a raw stake on the table 🤘🏻

Absolutely one of the best renditions. Love it.
I think justice has a soft spot with guitar players because it reflects how most of us start.. guitar player and a drummer, maybe barking some kind of vocals through the damn guitar amp.... we didn't have a damn bassist unless we could get our other guitar playing friend drunk enough lol
You say that like a guitar player at that level of their career could play the songs on Justice lol

3:19 that's a filthy riff! \m/
I am so amazed how he gets the weird hollow sounding bass from AJFA to this song. It’s such an odd sound that it put together so perfectly
Did anyone else get chills halfway through the song? Because damn, that was amazing
Yeah lol
If you sort by "heavy" on TH-cam this is the first thing that comes up and it is 30 minutes young.
METALLICA GIVES YOU HEAVY BABY!
HOW DID YOU GET THE VOCALS SO CLOSE TO AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
Magic.. what else? :)
He adjusted the frequency to have him sound more deeper(older)
@@MohamedAkhbar yes, a slight formant adjustment.

see the thing is he didnt even record any bass
@@broitsmikey then he didn't sin
haha that drum fill at 5:22 was awesome

The 6:09-6:49 section towards the end is just Godly.
Please return the 18, 22, 25, 28, 34, 37, and 42-year old James Hetfield clones you are holding hostage along with any younger clones waiting to take their places. Do the right thing.
This progression at 3:02 is the best thing I’ve heard in a song for a while. So good!
Major respect if you're composing/playing/recording/programming/mixing all of this. Awesome!

Are the best Transitions on this,Truly a Signature of the Justice Album
Whoa, fucking whoa... I expected only the change of tone. An entire re-arrangement to keep it in style? lovely!
One of my favourite albums ever just got another great addition! :D
It’s like you combined Battery, Blackened, and And Justice For All into one song and turned the drums up to 11. Love it!!!
The vocals sound frighteningly close to justice like this
3:18 CLEAAAANNNNNNN
Genius! Thank you so much for doing this! Production/mixing is everything in metal, and justice's (if the bass was audable) production/mixing was revolutionary..
Blackened -> MOP
Battery
I was grinning like an idiot the whole way through because I always said to myself: "Ah, I see what you did there!"
Like a fucking easter egg hunt for fans.
This is amazing.
Funny how most people complain about the lack of bass on Justice but are so interested in how all songs would sound if on Justice ! I happen to love the Justice sound
this is a fucking masterpiece, the double kick in the drums makes this adaptation
Emperor: everything is proceeding as I have foreseen. 🌘
This guy can fix St Anger
amazing! love the sound of the justice album! great arrangement!
This gives a harder sound that I didn't know Battery could even have and has a more polished tone then the original, this is just insane
This is disturbingly accurate
Wow! this is so great! I just love the guitar sound on AJFA.
I want all sounds in the world to go through the AJFA filter, dogs, cats, cars, weather forecast...
This is why I love music so much. Something so badass and accurate gives me the giggles. One does not expect it to be this good, and when it is, we cannot rationalize it and just have to giggle uncontrollably. Well done!

Mama Said on Kill 'em All? That would be very interesting.
I want Mama Said on Puppets. That would be heavy af 😁
he should do mama said on load

I even had the phone to my ear at 0:55 cause it was quiet and I had my phone turned down. But it wasn't quite long 🤦♂️
Haven’t even watched it yet just letting State of Mercury know I love him and his vids
That AJFA-esque (song) interlude in the middle was so fucking good. This is my favorite rework of yours so far.
Sounds better than original
...sees that Battery on AJFA is over 7 minutes long = instant like.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is peak 'What If...' Great work! \m/
The heavy part after the solo and at the end sounded thrashier in AJFA tone 🤘🤘🤘🤘
3:51 is where its at
Incredible rework man!!!!
That breakdown and that bridge god damn
This is Metallica we all deserve.
The thrash part at 5:12 !!!!!!
Do invisible kid on ride the lightning :)
This would be really interesting
That sounds really interesting.
Yes
Interesting

Amazing man, would love to get these songs on spotify some day
