4:55 every metallica cover guitarist knows that feel, how the hell those guys have lasted as long as they have when every time these songs make hands cramp up, is just mind blowing. the whole first three albums are like that too, especially songs that go 6+ minutes
@@lenikt3560 Large part? XD So where DA FUQ IS SOLO IN Mechanix? Kirk wrote it. Where's middle riff part (awesome moment)? Metallica took 2 riffs, added next two riffs and two solos.. They did a LARGE PART. "lol"
where the incredible is in that ugly solo, not critisicing completely my boy, playing, I'm criticising kirks horrible writing skills (not to talk about his technique
@@muri6853 Mustaine wrote the entire song except for the solos and the middle section that Metallica added after firing him. That said, Mustaine's solos were more technically impressive and even Metallica themselves cut out the middle section live. Four Horsemen is debatably the better track for the lyrics, but I definitely wish it was as fast as Mechanix and had Dave's solos (despite how good Kirk's were).
@@MisterSwagify wrong. The first 4 bars of the solo were written by Mustaine. After that it turns into the classic Hammett note shitfest without structure or dynamics.
Citrus well dave mustaine was fooling around and started playing Sweet home Alabama, then Lars thought it was great to put on in the middle on the Mechanix. He was with cliff at that time. After dave left they changed the songs speed, lyrics and slowed it down.
your picking and fretting are so damn in sync and accurate. It's entertaining to actually watch just your hands play man. You manage to express with the song with just your damn hands
@@nagato4982 Remember kids, speed isnt everything. Mustaine is a great player and riff writer but his singing and the mixing on megadeaths albums are absolutely atrocious.
listen man your my main influence to learning this song. u are the best cover guy on yt and its a shame that your channel died. hope you come back some time...
Here's the lyrics: By the last breath of the fourth winds blow Better raise your ears The sound of hooves knock at your door Lock up your wife and children now It's time to wield the blade For now you have got some company The Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the Four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die You have been dying since the day you were born You know it has all been planned The quartet of deliverance rides A sinner once a sinner twice No need for confessions now Cause now you have got the fight of your life The Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the Four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die Time Has taken its toll on you The lines that crack your face Famine Your body it has torn through Withered in every place Pestilence For what you have had to endure And what you have put others through Death Deliverance for you for sure Now there is nothing you can do So gather round young warriors now And saddle up your steeds Killing scores with demon swords Now is the death of doers of wrong Swing the judgement hammer down Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat The Horsemen are drawing nearer On leather steeds they ride They've come to take your life On through the dead of night With the Four Horsemen ride Or choose your fate and die
Bad ass brother!! That freaking gallop is tricky and I don't know why!! 🤣James was even showing Kirk in the Cliff em all vid on stage! 🎸💥😎Good job Holmes!
This is amazing, it takes serious skill to play like that! I started playing guitar about a year ago, and like playing songs by Metallica and Zeppelin. I'm nowhere, near as skilled as this guy, but I hope to one day be!
That is the best solo hands down! Kirk plays that with his soul ! You can feel it if you crank that song up as loud as you can stand it ! If you listen closely to the bass drums, it sounds like horses galloping!
So many good riffs in this song.
of course couse they're all mustaines
Haha!! I'm a Megadeth fan too but Mechanix sux lol
the two songs are like,the same?
Frane Franic they are bc in fact 4 horsemen is just a reworked version of the mechanix
frogtastic1000 how can you like this if you think mechanix sux?
Most underrated solo of Metallica...
Absolutely. It's my favorite solo of any Metallica song. I'm not a musician but I feel it's got a bluesy sound to it.
@Acid Xeno Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Kirk Hammett join the band after this album released?
jump in the fires last solo is underrated as shit too
Hell yeah, personally I fuckin love this solo
Dave Mustaine friend !

Also editing.... I mean probably. Live is a little easier sometimes cuz they do the song easier
@Vortiac (definitely not on bass)
You're right but I needed to add that, sry
@@rpk7330 idk man. Seems like the speed the tempo up on some of their live songs
Pfff, listen to braindrill or meshuggah, that shit reaaally makes your hands “bleed”
@@cristobalsebastianalfonsor7236 no
2:43 one of the best riffs in heavy metal
Favourite Metallica riff
There is a possibility that it was written by Mustaine)
@@creepin_deth In ur dreams
@@damonlynx8251 actually he might be right, as "four horsemen" was actually written in a large part by Mustaine lol

I play this song when I workout, gives me adrenaline.
Same here
Same here
Same here
i can always go an extra mile when this song comes on during my treadmill run
Same here
4:14 what a freaking good solo...
6:36 always gives me chills
ya
7:07 man had to stop for a sec and realize he played such an incredible thing 🤘
lol that was a cramp flex

@@paradoxolli3010Kirk didn’t write that last solo
@@paradoxolli3010 Mustaine wrote the 2nd solo. The 1st solo was wrote by Kirk.
The part that starts at 4:15 is insane guitar play.
Dave Mustaine
@Juan Ibarra oh ok didn't know. I thought Dave wrote the solos that's all

Its one of the easiest licks to play in guitar actually

3:52 6:27
i think the first solo ( 3:52 ) is kinda bluesy lol
I like the solo in 6:27 it sounds like Randy Rhoads solos in Mr Crowly..
Hope this song will show up in X-Men: Apocalypse :D
+Tai Dinh - VortexLord damn and it did :D
that scene gave a hole new meaning to this song !
yo man true!! you are awesome jajajajaja it appears!
I knew it guys, I approved it. Lol, Just kidding. =]]
That was so fucking metal man. When he started that transformation was the most fucking metal thing in a marvel movie ever
How can you sit there and shred that out without standing up and headbanging. You absolutely shred all of these covers my man.
The part at 3:32 makes me think of sweet home Alabama lol
Citrus do you know the story behind that solo?
@@Kikester No. What is it
Citrus well dave mustaine was fooling around and started playing Sweet home Alabama, then Lars thought it was great to put on in the middle on the Mechanix. He was with cliff at that time. After dave left they changed the songs speed, lyrics and slowed it down.
Citrus here th-cam.com/video/5mdwxz8LRno/w-d-xo.html watch this. You’ll love the short interview.
@@Kikester that's because he always listen to lynyrd skynrd with cliff in the car
i can never resist to turn up the volume and start headbanging a little at 3:05
A little? I would break my neck headbanging at that part.
for me it starts already at 2:41... SO GOOD!!!
@@DanielHanka how about 2:06 *:D such a crushing riff, just requiers headbanging
Here I am years and years later, still watching him with awe. Someone should archive these videos :)
This is the best Cover i`ve watched for any Metallica song on youtube
Watched it 20+ times
Keep it up :)
Two words to describe this...
Holly...sheet!!!
Holy wars
Is that a jojo reference ?
your picking and fretting are so damn in sync and accurate. It's entertaining to actually watch just your hands play man. You manage to express with the song with just your damn hands
4:40 is the sweetest sound i have ever heard
Needs more subs and attention, Best Metallica cover I’ve heard
The timing and pitch of every note was spot on. Very impressive
rock is life
Piotr Smaczny This is not rock.
That's right, but this isn't rock
Well this is thrash metal.
Free Bird this particular song is hard rock at best
DUDE THIS COVER HELPS ME A LOT WITH PARTS THAT I WAS STRUGGLING WITH THANK YOU SO MUCH
1.5 speed! Is this that you are looking for, Megadeth fans?
Actually 1.25 thank u very much 😊 the Metallica version was making me fall asleep.
Justin R when I practice playing mechanix, I just put this song on
@@justinr8790 does the truth hurt you kid? lmfao
No Name why are people on TH-cam always out to be as condescending as possible? It’s music, and if you don’t like it why watch it and comment on it?
@@nagato4982 Remember kids, speed isnt everything. Mustaine is a great player and riff writer but his singing and the mixing on megadeaths albums are absolutely atrocious.
I love your SG dude. By the way, flipping awesome cover.
Glad you're back! Love the Dali clock!
me too!
listen man your my main influence to learning this song. u are the best cover guy on yt and its a shame that your channel died. hope you come back some time...
Alenka Topolovec Virant Seriously... Start making videos again!
dude that downpicking. shred it out
Hurtado XII pause with your gay ass
So good. My daughter and I love Metallica and this is both of our favorite song.
the chorus effect in the solos is so cool. badass man!
Probably my favorite metallica solo. Every damn solo on that killem all album is crazy.
Here's the lyrics:
By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knock at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
It's time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
You have been dying since the day you were born
You know it has all been planned
The quartet of deliverance rides
A sinner once a sinner twice
No need for confessions now
Cause now you have got the fight of your life
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
Time
Has taken its toll on you
The lines that crack your face
Famine
Your body it has torn through
Withered in every place
Pestilence
For what you have had to endure
And what you have put others through
Death
Deliverance for you for sure
Now there is nothing you can do
So gather round young warriors now
And saddle up your steeds
Killing scores with demon swords
Now is the death of doers of wrong
Swing the judgement hammer down
Safely inside armor blood guts and sweat
The Horsemen are drawing nearer
On leather steeds they ride
They've come to take your life
On through the dead of night
With the Four Horsemen ride
Or choose your fate and die
this is the most EPIC cover i have ever watched *...* good job
Maybe the best Four Horsemen cover on YT, well done pal!
This song still gives me chills.
Bad ass brother!! That freaking gallop is tricky and I don't know why!! 🤣James was even showing Kirk in the Cliff em all vid on stage! 🎸💥😎Good job Holmes!
i just found your videos. you rip, dude! that SG looks and sounds amazing.
you sir, are a maniac!! utter perfection!! im barely still getting the hang of the speed but hopefully ill get somewhat near you. amazing cover!!!
wait i just revisited this song in a LONG time ... that solo is insane. so many good runs and ideas.
Nice Work, I think my girlfriend has that shirt.
+steel7997 AHAHAHAHAHAH
steel7997 first i thought this is a girl without boobs
The hate is real
She got it from him
Devon Schmidt LMFAO
My favorite guitar cover channel, i love ur covers. Amazing guitar skills
Absolutely unreal cover!
Absolutely stunning
I remember Jason Newstead start running on stage doing a gallop when the first gallop hits!!👌🤌
This is amazing, it takes serious skill to play like that! I started playing guitar about a year ago, and like playing songs by Metallica and Zeppelin. I'm nowhere, near as skilled as this guy, but I hope to one day be!
For a while I thought this was pre corded its so good
Hands down the best guitar cover of this song. You fucking rock, man!
What 5 people would dislike this??? Brilliant cover of a brilliant song
People who cant play it?
Pepper Ludemann and since i posted the comment 5 more have disliked it 👎
Dave mustaine, Dave ellefson, gar Samuelson Chris Poland and Dave mustaine
No hay mejor cover en toda maldita Internet! ! , larga vida...
Excellent playing, especially on the solos! Btw, what a beautiful SG, such an underestimated guitar in the shadow of the Les Paul.
Tony Iommy and Angus Young with their fan armies disagree )
Don’t forget Glenn Buxton and Eddie Van Halen pre Franken-strat
U r the best in metallica's covers, love ur covers.
Holy cow, nailed that last solo
That is the best solo hands down! Kirk plays that with his soul ! You can feel it if you crank that song up as loud as you can stand it ! If you listen closely to the bass drums, it sounds like horses galloping!
You do the best metallica covers out there... If metallica ever needs a new guitarist I'm routing for you bro \m/
Love how groovy this shit sounds
By far one of my favorite solos
holy shit, you've nailed the solos!
That Solo Goosebumbs ever
I love that tone!
amazing work man, astonishing.
Good job, thanks for posting. Possibly my fav Metallica song.
Best song of their early days. And nice cover bro🤘
one of Dave Mustaine's greatest songs.
His genius riffs along with James lyrics and some additional riffs makes it BADASS
And Hammett can't Mustaine
Taggart Knutson funny how you say that, Dave Mustain wrote the song
Shadow 13342 he literally only wrote one riff for this song and the lyrics he wrote weren't even used
Cry more lul
Какой сочный звук. Не всегда каверы так пишут
damn, fine playing and very very nice tone!
Thank you
One of my favorite Metallica songs! great cover!!!!
Another accurate cover from you bro!
MIND BLOWN.....
This might be my all-time favorite riff
Your so good you kind of make me not want to play guitar anymore
Damn dude, ....love your tone man!!
Man, you're damn good !
You nail solo perfectly,dude!!🙌🎸
Killer, bro!
Oh man, that solo. man. Good fucking job.
4:54 What Do you want??:V
He messed up the slide before that. So he's like, "what the fuck are you lookin at?"
I think he is streching his hand.
