    Huh. I always thought this song was a really sad, depressing, nihilistic ballad. I didn't dislike it, but I never heard the message until this version. Wow. Amazing how a different vocal styling can make you LISTEN instead of just HEAR. Beautiful.

      I sometimes have G1 (49 Hz) on certain days right after I wake up. And they’re barely touched whereas this guy can make real sound on 41 Hz, although obviously the Mike helps a lot…

    This is a great song in Metallica’s version. To rearrange it to acappella is truly brave. To perform it in this breathtaking way is almost inhuman. The addition of J.None is perfect. To add VioLayne in the solo is extraordinarily clever. I’ve been watching this over and over again since it’s Patreon release and it gives me goosebumps all over every time. Even my soul gets goosebumps. That’s how incredible this production is. To say I love it, is an understatement. ❤️🥰🎶❤️

I told Hubby it's my new love song for him.

    Epic Moments in this song:
    All 5 min and 50 sec of it ;)
    But seriously, here’s some of my favorite moments
    0:47 J with those descending arpeggios
    1:03 Eli’s tone in his beautiful lower range
    1:25 J’s smooth and soulful solo
    2:06 I love the pairing of voices for this section-J and Eli harmonizing with their baritone voices while Cesar and Layne blend beautifully in the background with their lighter and breathier tones
    2:32 The background vocals switching between oohs and lyrics
    2:51 Geoff’s hand when he drops a sub
    2:55 Eli’s rock grit while J and Cesar harmonize
    3:21 After Geoff just sang low, he jumps to sing baritone with the group then drops back down
    3:33 The “boom” effect with Geoff’s hand gesture, the camera shake, and Layne and Geoff’s low note-is just *chef’s kiss*
    3:47 Eli's solo
    3:58 Another "boom" visual from Geoff
    4:04 The background vocals for "they play" has so many cool runs in it
    4:17 The stacking of "I know" from Eli at the top to J at the bottom
    4:24 THAT HARMONIZED SCREAM! Eli!
    4:26 Geoff drops a low note while he does an epic hand gesture that makes it look like he created that earthquake with his voice-Geoffquake!
    VIOLAYNE!
    4:41 Eli’s riff in unison with the violin
    4:45 Geoff air-playing the bass guitar
    5:09 The background vocals melt from “ooh” to "who we are"
    5:16 The song returns to how it started with the bell tones while the tempo slows down
    In each instance of the bell tones, one person is not singing. I think Geoff arranged it this way so that at any point in the song, the 4 people can do the bell tones in the background while the other person is soloing.
    I love how at the beginning, Cesar sings the highest harmonies with his breathy tones. But as the intensity of the song goes up, Eli takes over the highest harmonies using his rock tenor voice
    This is a masterpiece of an arrangement-I have no words to describe how amazing this is. Geoff brings us on a journey as he slowly builds the energy of the song to the climax.
    What a way to start the new year!

    If it had been any other a cappella group than Voiceplay I would have had my doubts that this song could even be done in a cappella, not to mention that it takes a lot to do James Hetfield's voice justice. Voiceplay however not only did the song so that the voices blend together in a way that is different from, and yet definitely worthy of James Hetfield, but they also managed to twist it enough to make it completely their own without loosing the essens of this iconic song. What a masterpiece!

I'm *so* glad J was able to join for this one, because his voice is just perfect here. Eli is, appropriately, the absolute rock star of this song. Layne gets to show off in a jaw-dropping way, but I won't spoil that. Cesar's earnest, breathy tone is gorgeous. Geoff is just awesome. I mean always, but a heaping of extra bassy awesomeness here.

    I've always been a sucker for songs that evoke an emotional response from me. When Metallica released this one, I enjoyed it, but it didn't initially *grab* me. A few months later, I fell into what turned out to be a rather rough time in my life, and I heard it again (it *was* rather ubiquitous), and it was like hearing it for the first time. This time, it hit me straight in the core of my being and completely resonated with me. (In retrospect, my interpretation of the song at that time was not the same as James Hetfield's in writing it, but hey, music has always been subjective! 😁)
    Fast forward to now... to hear a stripped down, a cappella version from you that still maintains that *feel* of the original? This was another blow directly to my core. This time I'm older (and I'd like to think wiser), but it still staggered me. This arrangement is just mind blowing in how it *feels* simple, but is oh so complex. 🤯
    My jaw is still in residence on the floor, and I canNOT thank you enough for this, guys. 🤘🏻💕

    I was honestly going into this thinking it'd be more pop-ish and I'd ultimately think "very impressive, not my cup of tea" but legitimately superb work. I don't think I can pick a favorite part. Metallica fan stamp of approval.

    This is the cover of the century for me. Unbelievable talent across the board. You guys have my utmost respect and just made yourself a new fan!

    Eli has reached escape velocity. Aside from stellar production (as per usual), flawless execution (as always), and genius arrangement (thanks Geoff), it's Eli that hit this one into orbit for me.
    Wonderful!

    I saved this as:
    "Play this at my funeral", I started crying listening to you guys. Wow!
    Really awesome group! And you made a faboulous work with this song, you all deserve my respect!
