James would have to learn fry for that 🤭 and I don’t think any of the members have touched a 7 string in their lives I’d be interested to see that though!
I'm actually surprised by how good this is. One is a tough song to cover considering its place in metal history. These guys really pulled this off. I'm impressed. Hats off to Periphery. Great cover for a pretty underrated game.
This is a cover... Like it or hate it, it's not supposed to sound like the original. That's the purpose of a cover, to add your own spin to a song. Not to play the exact same thing.
Tyler Burr Exactly. What's the point of doing the exact same song again? That's just being lazy. I want to hear my favorite bands interpret classic songs, not play them again.
I know I'm reviving a dead post, but yes and no. It depends on the person as everyone has their own interests, but their instruments cover up too much of some of the parts that stood out, parts that helped define the song. Periphery is an amazing group, but yeah.
That sounds like a sad Venn diagram. One circle of shitty drummers, another of shitty people, and Lars Ulrich is the overlap ;)...Also it's nice hearing the kick triplets before the breakdown sounding like triplets instead of uneven wet elephant fart.
it's a cover of a amazing song, they put their own spin on it. if they were to do it today it would be insane, the whole band has evolved so much. they put they're own Twist on it. I really dig it!
@@cheybludick8628 im pretty sure matts been in the band since 2009 so it has to be matt. especially when you listen to how much he switches cymbals, it definitely sounds like him.
I hate when people say this cover sucks, because its not the same as the original. This is a perfect example of a great cover. The drums are the best part of this as they give the song a completely different feel that the song needed. Don't get me wrong here, its not Metallica and they never will be, but this is an amazing song while making it their own. I believe at 5:17, when the double kick is ripping, that Lars should have realized that it would have made the song better
Nah the drums are terrible. If Matt did the drums they could've been so much better but Misha went way too far arranging the drums on this Also, the drums are machine performed and I absolutely hate drums performed by a machine (not drum samples. I use samples all the time, but I also play the notes myself. Not let a machine play every note perfectly in time and with no dynamics)
Absolutely love it. I just found out about Periphery about 2 years ago and I am a huge fan. How I’m just now hearing this in 2022 is beyond me. Like a lot of other comments, a cover should NOT be an exact rendition of the original. Put your own feelings, spin etc. This is beautiful. Love Periphery!!!!!!
The essence of a cover has to be the personal interpretation of a song you like , not the perfect copy of that song ! There's no interest to do an exact copy of a song. We know the original song ! Do a cover with your feelings , your heart & your own style and it will be THE perfect cover we want to hear !! Keep on rockin' guys ! Peace
You don't understand the. ''Do a cover with your feelings , your heart & YOUR OWN STYLE'' right? There's no point on doing a ''cover'' the same as the real song.
That's exactly the case with Johnny Cash and Nine Inch Nails. Both are great, even though the cover is often referred to be better than the original. It says a lot when Trent Reznor was giving the Johnny Cash cover high praise. Unpopular opinion, but I think Trivium's cover of "Master of Puppets" is better than the original by Metallica.
Love this cover so much!! I just wish the "Hold my breath as I wish for death" part was heavier, I dont think that part being soft suits the song, the way metallica handles that part is perfect.
***** Periphery is probably my favorite band right now :) In my opinion P1 < P2 < Clear so following that logic, juggernaut should be a fucking masterpiece :D
even I'm completely floored by this cover, specially the vocals and Halpern's masterful work. By any chance, are there any Periphery songs that sound like this?
Bradley McLain um... back when Lars was doing his drum fills... he could easily have done triplets. he was one of the pioneers of fast double bass rhythms and fills. Most drummers today, can do much faster, only because of drummers like Lars who came first. Lars is just old now and probably cant now, but in the 80's he could easily have done anything... just listen to the drums he did in 99 on S&M, he massively played the same songs with faster and more complicated beats.
Bradley McLain Boozal m, both of you morons... I just listened to this again, and there is nothing different in the drum beats.... YOU IDIOTS... Lars played this better by far.
Who cares Lars is a fantastic musician, he has co-written some of metallicas best songs and he is the best drummer for metallica. He may not be the most technically proficient, but he fits into metallica like a master key in a lock. Metallica also only achieved success due to Lars' vision for the band.
He and Hetfield co arranged almost all the songs. Just listen to Dyers Eve. His drumming on that is mad. But now he sucks and he's too lazy and he's an asshole though. But you can't not agree to the fact that he and James are legends
IMO, this cover was about right. They added their own flavor to it, and it came out fairly well. Now, the vocals in the last verse and the guitar solo kind of ruined it for me. Still, I really liked the drums and the overall atmosphere.
I wasn't a huge fan at first due to me trying to compare it with the original. So, i thought about this and came back and listened to it as if it were an entirely new track. It really brings out the progressive and musical complexity metallica has, while incorporating guitar and vocal styles indigenous to periphery. I think it was a great song. They took a metallica song and not only did they cover it, they changed it and gave it almost an entirely new vibe. (not to mention the nailing of the solo)
The cover picture annoys me. The blindfold is not perpendicular to this guy's face, but the star is. That means that the star is printed off-kilter relative to the blindfold. My OCD is going wild :(
Not necessarily. Fabric folds in odd ways and theres nothing to say he didn't tie it perpendicular only to have some folds poke out at odd angles. Good spot though lol
I realize many of you are too young to actually understand what pioneers Metallica were in the early 80's. However, these guys do this song amazing justice. Pun intended. Well done !🤘🤘🤘🤘
I know dude. The h is strong with metal heads ( back in my day we called our selves head bangers) I don't know what the effe I'm saying but, Even though I am a sensitive person and I care about other people's feelings, being hated can't be all that bad. As long as it's not by goths, cause they'll get you.
For the unfortunate souls who don't know the lyrics: "I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there's not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Back in the womb it's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, wake me Now the world is gone I'm just one Oh God help me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please God, help me Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell Landmine Has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in Hell"
From a classic/old-school metalhead's standpoint that's trying to explore what the modern/industrial/djent genres has to offer, I have this to say about the cover: The vocals, although very well done and great for their thing, just doesn't cut the harsh and brutal nature of the original song and instead tries to make it pretty, which really took away the lyrical impact for me. He's a great singer, just not for traditional thrash metal. The drums sounds like the drummer has something up his behind to be quite frank. He hits every drum as hard as he can with ZERO dynamics through the entire song which kills the buttery smooth clean-parts and the tranquil melancholy of the verses is pounded away even though it's tight. It's simply unlively and flat. That's really what negative I can say. It's Periphery, not Metallica, and they did it their own way. Misha's solo honestly destroyed Kirk's original (let's be honest, he's never really been a great player other than a speed-freak and wah-fanatic). And I will always enjoy great musicianship no matter the genre, and that clearly comes through here both per the individuals and as a group. I see many comments discussing whether or not this is emo. I wouldn't call it emo, but as a fan of old-school metal ("true metal" as some call it), the sound doesn't work for me the same way much of emo & screamo-acts doesn't work for me, I suppose that's what people from my group are complaining about. I think that's the LEAST elitist i can be. Great musicians from a genre that to me is alien and "controversial" I guess, and a good cover. That's still just my opinion. And yes, I know no one read the whole thing. Waffledicks.
+TheRolfieboy took me a while to get over the vocals personally as i mainly like thras and death metal but now i find periphery really enjoyable. the vocals really carry the melody with this style while the guitars are often very rhythm based. try 'icarus lives', 'alpha', 'scarlet', 'buttersnips'. Pretty catchy melodies. i don't listen to any other band with these hardcore style vocals personally so i get where you're coming from
I can't believe the people on this fucking thread. There's one side bashing Metallica, and one side bashing Periphery... So narrow-minded. You know what? Metallica is my favorite musical artist (tied with Linkin Park and Muse)... They have talent and their music changes over time... "...And Justice For All" (1988) was musically complex and was very progressive at the time. And it is definitely my favorite album by them... And then here's Periphery, a progressive metal band that is easily within my top five... And they do a bad ass cover of a song on my favorite album by my favorite artist... Making it their own song in the process. What's there not to like? And what better way to pay tribute to a song progressive for its time by doing it your way? I like both equally. I basically view them as two different songs. That's all I can do in order to avoid being sacrilegious to one band or unacknowledging of the other's talent lol... Appreciate both versions for what they are; they're both superb in their own way. We don't need to be at each other's throats on this thread... On a personal note, this is definitely my favorite Metallica cover and probably my favorite cover song in general.
Great explanation. I personally am not a very big fan of Metallica save for their hits but I can definitely appreciate that approach. Moreover, why are they listening to it if they don't like it :D
Metallica will always be my favorite band, but for me, this is the best cover of one of their songs ever. Period. The way Matt runs with the double bass the whole end of the song is just pure metal and makes me wanna break my neck headbanging every time I listen to it. If I had this on a cd, this song would wear out or I'd blow the speakers out from repeated playing and replaying.
its a cover, its not meant to sound like the original, its just their take on it. no song has been ruined, as if you dont like iit you can just listen to the original
I felt the drumming to be the most jarring. The first half of the song is over drumming, and then the second half is sort of following Lars’ original drumming, but with an extra basic double bass beat
This was very well done. Drum track was fantastic. Vocals got a little whiny in the choruses, but other than that, I like how he made Hetfield's lyrics his own.
I can't remember anything Can't tell if this is true or dream Deep down inside I feel to scream This terrible silence stops me Now that the war is through with me I'm waking up, I cannot see That there is not much left of me Nothing is real but pain now Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me Back to the world that's much too real In pumps life that I must feel But can't look forward to reveal Look to the time when I'll live Fed through the tube that sticks in me Just like a wartime novelty Tied to machines that make me be Cut this life off from me Hold my breath as I wish for death Oh please, God, wake me Now the world is gone, I'm just one Oh God, help me Hold…
As a Metallica fan but not a periphery or djent fan, I can see why some don't like it. The Metallica fansboys are mad because they like the Metallica sound and feel like this isn't justice to what they were used to hearing from One. The djent guys like it because they probably aren't Metallica fans and feel like this version suits them better. But people shouldn't get mad at differences like that. If you want the Metallica sound for One, go listen to that version. And for those who like this version... Obviously listen to this. Ignorant people get mad that's all.
Juan Ayestas Hard to judge the mix when the audio is heavily compressed for a 240p youtube video. You lose a significant amount of clarity in the high end when that happens.
zac chinevere haha okey then maybe youwant some new tampons so you dont bleed all over the keybord.. Lars was good but in MY opinion.. Matt made them better becouse its fucking new.. stop you crying
Appreciate all the stylistic differences compared to the original. It’s incredible how different this song is with the vocals change. Hetfield has such a more powerful and lower pitched voice.
Mot Yrrah HAHAAAAAAA! Justin Bieber is and will always be a GREAT musician! How many records have you sold? Plus, you don't know a lot about drums, right? Playing only with power and messing up the easiest 4/4 beats doesn't qualify you as a good drummer.
Mot Yrrah It's not about PLAYING only simple beats, it's about SCREWING THEM UP! Guess what Phil Rudd does? He only plays simple beats, but he NEVER screws them up. C'mon, it's not that difficult to play a 4/4 fill and ending on the 1. Yet Lars Ulrich screws that up. "NO feel NO emotion"? I assume you've never heard Lune? This song contains one of THE MOST emotional drum parts in the world. And "No swing"? Lars can't swing for shit. Matt Halpern on the other hand can probably play anything you can imagine. And offending this band only makes you look dumb, just like saying that Lars Ulrich is a GREAT drummer, because he isn't. Every drummer will tell you that. Do you think offending people on the internet will make you successful? Do you think Elon Musk is sits in front of his computer calling people fuckwads all day long? Think about it.
I am a huge Metallica fan, they pretty much baptized my infatuated with metal music. I think this is a pretty good cover to be honest, I think the mix is a little crap, but I dig it a lot. I love the drumming, definitely a little different than Lars.
Everyone bashes Lars. Why? Maybe he isn't the most technical drummer out there, but he plays with heart and he writes music with passion. There's a reason he's part of one of the biggest bands on the planet, and honestly... I'll listen to him play all day long because I know he would deliver. All you haters can suck it, seriously.
I'm not ripping on Matt at all. He's a hundred times the drummer I'll ever be. If I don't like something that I hear I'm not gonna shelve that opinion because someone is more "successful" than me. Do you like Nickelback because they're more successful than you? Probably not. Success doesn't make someone infallible. Quit starting shit on the internet though, dude. There's no point. Hope you have a nice day too!
I love this version, it reminds me of Metallica's S&M version. But there's some serious overdrumming going on. The guitars and vocals are definitely on point.
Big Dream Theater fan, love progressive groups. I'm new to Periphery but I'm liking everything so far. I enjoyed this cover, thanks for posting it. I'd also like to see this game remade or something, the idea was good.
Wow what an amazing cover. i really love the different takes by different artists on my favorite songs and this is a shining example of that. it sounds like modernized metallica.
11 years ago when they were still finding their sound, but even back then the instrumentals were awesome. I’d love them to re-record the vocals and re-mix the rest - their production quality and Spencer’s individual vocal skills have improved astronomically since then, they could make the ultimate One cover with their current form!
James Hettfield is not know for his singing skill. This young dude is obviously able to hit those higher notes better, but James is a fucking Thrash Metal Icon. He is legendary for his badass rifts and his unique singing. I wouldn't compare them. Like, at all. This sounds like a really well made cover. But I'm a hardcore Metalhed baybehhh, so James all the way. It gets badass after the Lars drum part. Badabadabadum.....badabadabadum...lmao
metallica should cover blood eagle now
James would have to learn fry for that 🤭 and I don’t think any of the members have touched a 7 string in their lives
I’d be interested to see that though!

Fucking facts
BewilderedToad i agree but literally no one asked
The drums sound like machine guns.
All of P1 was recorded on an electric kit so they probably recorded it at the same time which would get rid of the dynamics a lot
nope. P1 was all programmed drums.
that is basically the same thing. They probably got an electronic kit to capture Halpern's performance and then used samples.
+ped lumb it was actually programmed and not midi-recorded
jalen roark fosure, i guess shouldn't be called Periphery - One it should be BULB - One Ft. Spencer Sotelo
Strange hearing it with a good drummer..
Right?
lol I dont know why lars gets so much hate but i do find most jokes (like this one) pretty funny.
I'd say moistly because he's proven to be a shitty person...he's not a really drummer either though...
That sounds like a sad Venn diagram. One circle of shitty drummers, another of shitty people, and Lars Ulrich is the overlap ;)...Also it's nice hearing the kick triplets before the breakdown sounding like triplets instead of uneven wet elephant fart.
Sure, but the drumming of this cover makes it unlistenable, rather have a simple beat like Lars's. But this is just a cover so im fine.

Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me

In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, wake me
Now the world is gone I'm just one
Oh God help me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please God, help me

Imprisoning me

Please don't shoot me.
the ori and this version are really awesome!
You clearly do not appreciate real metal, and this is coming from a periphery fan
Riley Morgan or she prefers this.
Riley Morgan
well said :I
lol No.
I liked it. Very well brought to their own style, buy I still prefer the original
From a classic/old-school metalhead's standpoint that's trying to explore what the modern/industrial/djent genres has to offer, I have this to say about the cover:
The vocals, although very well done and great for their thing, just doesn't cut the harsh and brutal nature of the original song and instead tries to make it pretty, which really took away the lyrical impact for me. He's a great singer, just not for traditional thrash metal.
The drums sounds like the drummer has something up his behind to be quite frank. He hits every drum as hard as he can with ZERO dynamics through the entire song which kills the buttery smooth clean-parts and the tranquil melancholy of the verses is pounded away even though it's tight. It's simply unlively and flat.
That's really what negative I can say. It's Periphery, not Metallica, and they did it their own way. Misha's solo honestly destroyed Kirk's original (let's be honest, he's never really been a great player other than a speed-freak and wah-fanatic). And I will always enjoy great musicianship no matter the genre, and that clearly comes through here both per the individuals and as a group.
I see many comments discussing whether or not this is emo. I wouldn't call it emo, but as a fan of old-school metal ("true metal" as some call it), the sound doesn't work for me the same way much of emo & screamo-acts doesn't work for me, I suppose that's what people from my group are complaining about.
I think that's the LEAST elitist i can be. Great musicians from a genre that to me is alien and "controversial" I guess, and a good cover. That's still just my opinion. And yes, I know no one read the whole thing. Waffledicks.
+TheRolfieboy Metallica is not thrash metal..
+TheRolfieboy took me a while to get over the vocals personally as i mainly like thras and death metal but now i find periphery really enjoyable. the vocals really carry the melody with this style while the guitars are often very rhythm based. try 'icarus lives', 'alpha', 'scarlet', 'buttersnips'. Pretty catchy melodies. i don't listen to any other band with these hardcore style vocals personally so i get where you're coming from
***** Vocals typically used in the hardcore genre.
***** i could be misusing the term though since i dont listen to it at all
dude. you sound like an expert.
Holy shit didn't expect this to be as good as it is props bro you took a classic & made a worthy remake
Myyyy God! As this is my MOST FAVORITE song ever, Periphery did an absolutely amazing job with it!!
I don't know why this popped in my recommendation but I'll gladly take it
This song was in Homefront? I don't remember ever hearing it in the game. Then again, it's been a while since I last played it.
I can't believe the people on this fucking thread. There's one side bashing Metallica, and one side bashing Periphery... So narrow-minded. You know what? Metallica is my favorite musical artist (tied with Linkin Park and Muse)... They have talent and their music changes over time... "...And Justice For All" (1988) was musically complex and was very progressive at the time. And it is definitely my favorite album by them... And then here's Periphery, a progressive metal band that is easily within my top five... And they do a bad ass cover of a song on my favorite album by my favorite artist... Making it their own song in the process. What's there not to like? And what better way to pay tribute to a song progressive for its time by doing it your way? I like both equally. I basically view them as two different songs. That's all I can do in order to avoid being sacrilegious to one band or unacknowledging of the other's talent lol... Appreciate both versions for what they are; they're both superb in their own way. We don't need to be at each other's throats on this thread... On a personal note, this is definitely my favorite Metallica cover and probably my favorite cover song in general.
Great explanation. I personally am not a very big fan of Metallica save for their hits but I can definitely appreciate that approach. Moreover, why are they listening to it if they don't like it :D
Stopped reading after linkin fuck
Oh, Hybrid Theory is my favorite album ever. But I love all of LP's stuff.
3m7c , you're just horribly narrow-minded.
It's just a band playing one of their favorite songs who is anyone to tell them they can't play some Metallica?
Metallica will always be my favorite band, but for me, this is the best cover of one of their songs ever. Period. The way Matt runs with the double bass the whole end of the song is just pure metal and makes me wanna break my neck headbanging every time I listen to it. If I had this on a cd, this song would wear out or I'd blow the speakers out from repeated playing and replaying.
I like this... the drums really kick it up a lot!!!
its a cover, its not meant to sound like the original, its just their take on it. no song has been ruined, as if you dont like iit you can just listen to the original
This song is weird. Sometimes I feel it really deeply and sometimes it sounds bad.
I really don't know what's going on here.
You're doing it right, just relax
I feel the same but mostly cause the two bands sound entirely different, still a good effort no lies there
I felt the drumming to be the most jarring. The first half of the song is over drumming, and then the second half is sort of following Lars’ original drumming, but with an extra basic double bass beat
drummer is playing in an odd time signature different from the original to give it a periphery vibe....that's why it sounds off to you
@@albie21121 yep
The day I heard this song done by Periphery was the day this song got even better than it already was. Thanks guys, brilliant cover!
I love how people are saying his voice is gay and sucks but don't listen to his vocal range.
Spencer is an amazing vocalist but his style doesn't suit this song at all
***** It suits their version of the song though, and that is literally all that matters.
This was very well done. Drum track was fantastic. Vocals got a little whiny in the choruses, but other than that, I like how he made Hetfield's lyrics his own.
lee sin
eli joe Thought I was the only one who would see that
+eli joe american lee sin
+eli joe eu também li.
+eli joe It's Homefront though.
+eli joe It's Homefront though.
out of all the "one" covers I've heard, this one is the best hands down. Classic Metallica song meets Modern Djent style metal... sign my ass up.
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel to scream
This terrible silence stops me
Now that the war is through with me
I'm waking up, I cannot see
That there is not much left of me
Nothing is real but pain now
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Back to the world that's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But can't look forward to reveal
Look to the time when I'll live
Fed through the tube that sticks in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Tied to machines that make me be
Cut this life off from me
Hold my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, God, wake me
Now the world is gone, I'm just one
Oh God, help me
Hold…
Hellyeah
No matter how amazing this cover is it will never capture that same feeling of sadness and anger as the original
Covering Metallica is hard (unless you cover St Anger:) This is one of the only covers of metallica that i love
The only time I ever and I truly mean EVER enjoy Metallica! That just shows how epic Periphery truly Is!!!!
Every once in a while I remember this exists. Fuck yeah.
Yep
Yep
Yep. Fuck yeah.
As a Metallica fan but not a periphery or djent fan, I can see why some don't like it. The Metallica fansboys are mad because they like the Metallica sound and feel like this isn't justice to what they were used to hearing from One. The djent guys like it because they probably aren't Metallica fans and feel like this version suits them better. But people shouldn't get mad at differences like that. If you want the Metallica sound for One, go listen to that version. And for those who like this version... Obviously listen to this. Ignorant people get mad that's all.
where is the djent
You mean "da-jent" haha?
djunt
blunt?
michaelgtho djeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeent
UncleR4y quack?
Well done for the intro. Kept it melodic and paced but still did their hardcore sound they love
Periphery fans and Metallica fans squabbling, brilliant.
Would love to heart this with James vocals on the Justice Record.
like.. the original one?
I enjoyed the song but I find the mix awful...
It's mixed for a game i think
Juan Ayestas Hard to judge the mix when the audio is heavily compressed for a 240p youtube video. You lose a significant amount of clarity in the high end when that happens.
Sadpants McGee I see...
Juan Ayestas To be fair, Justice was mixed to shit too lmao
Tony Stark Do a search for "And Justice For Jason" It sounds MUCH better than the original album.
That constant double bass all the way through the second half of the instrumental part really blew me away!!!
More Ghost Notes...
Good Cover, but points lot for the Myspace link in the description.
lost*
+BajiBunny look at the upload date of this video
+Tyler Rosentreter 2011. right, That's way after MySpace's run, like beyond that. People were even beyond Facebook by this point and using Twitter.
+BajiBunny Periphery still regularly updated their myspace page up until beginning of 2012 IIRC.
+BajiBunny Twitter is awful
I think this is pre Halpern sure. I think Halpern would have did it different
+MaximumHamburgers either that or he was playing on a Roland TD 20 with real cymbals.
+MaximumHamburgers You have already broke my heart jajaja 😩 I didnt know these drums where programmed.
This was with Halpern. Halpern has been in the band longer than Spencer, so this would have to be with Halpern.
I know this was old, but Travis Orbin was better than Matt Halpern and I wish he had never left Periphery.
@@jamesbarron7568 shut the fuck up
i get what people say about the djent thing here, but this cover is freakin' awesome! literally blew me away!
I believe in Periphery. They got this.
Matt Halpern just made the drums more kick ass
They are nice, but in this song, the original is much better...
I'm a huge fan of both of them but i have to say that i prefer lars' version because the ending is a lot more complicated.
zac chinevere haha okey then maybe youwant some new tampons so you dont bleed all over the keybord.. Lars was good but in MY opinion.. Matt made them better becouse its fucking new.. stop you crying
Im a metallica fan, but this is an amazing cover
That's exactly what I thought!
7 years later and I am still here
@@jayray7449 lol
Appreciate all the stylistic differences compared to the original. It’s incredible how different this song is with the vocals change. Hetfield has such a more powerful and lower pitched voice.
this album was the best thing to come out of the homefront series
hmm they pulled if if well but it is nowhere near the raw power of and justice for all record. Metallica was at a whole new level during their time.
Metallicainjection minus the drummer.
Metallicainjection A new level? Of confidence and power?
Jimmy Hopkins Anselmo would be terrific doing cover of One
Mot Yrrah
HAHAAAAAAA! Justin Bieber is and will always be a GREAT musician! How many records have you sold?
Plus, you don't know a lot about drums, right? Playing only with power and messing up the easiest 4/4 beats doesn't qualify you as a good drummer.
Mot Yrrah
It's not about PLAYING only simple beats, it's about SCREWING THEM UP! Guess what Phil Rudd does? He only plays simple beats, but he NEVER screws them up. C'mon, it's not that difficult to play a 4/4 fill and ending on the 1. Yet Lars Ulrich screws that up.
"NO feel NO emotion"?
I assume you've never heard Lune? This song contains one of THE MOST emotional drum parts in the world. And "No swing"? Lars can't swing for shit. Matt Halpern on the other hand can probably play anything you can imagine.
And offending this band only makes you look dumb, just like saying that Lars Ulrich is a GREAT drummer, because he isn't. Every drummer will tell you that. Do you think offending people on the internet will make you successful? Do you think Elon Musk is sits in front of his computer calling people fuckwads all day long? Think about it.
I am a huge Metallica fan, they pretty much baptized my infatuated with metal music. I think this is a pretty good cover to be honest, I think the mix is a little crap, but I dig it a lot. I love the drumming, definitely a little different than Lars.
You should listen to other periphery material. May I prefer "Ragnarok" and "Make total destroy"? Great songs
+MrAntihumanism Still shits on the mix in And Justice for All
+MrAntihumanism It's crap youtube quality + ripped from radio.
Everyone bashes Lars. Why? Maybe he isn't the most technical drummer out there, but he plays with heart and he writes music with passion. There's a reason he's part of one of the biggest bands on the planet, and honestly... I'll listen to him play all day long because I know he would deliver. All you haters can suck it, seriously.
I expected more from this... Especially because it's periphery. Now I'm just sad and have to take a shit
I expected after "hold my breath as I wish for death," there would be a MASSIVE style change.
dude i have to shit too
Yo seven years later I’m takin a shit while listening to this lol
Its awkward that the double kick in the breakdown is actually in time and clean compared to the original
Lol in the solo he was like fuck it moar shred!
Oh my god, this drums are awesone, and also the vocals ... congratulations
It may be a very different style, but nonetheless, a great cover
This is so awesome. Fucking love Periphery \m/
if matt just used the ride instead of that china in the clean part this would be 10x better
I forgot you were the drummer in a highly successful band... Oh wait, that's Matt
I'm not ripping on Matt at all. He's a hundred times the drummer I'll ever be. If I don't like something that I hear I'm not gonna shelve that opinion because someone is more "successful" than me. Do you like Nickelback because they're more successful than you? Probably not. Success doesn't make someone infallible. Quit starting shit on the internet though, dude. There's no point. Hope you have a nice day too!
Chandler Emhoff I like periphery but Misha said they all have to have side jobs to make ends meet haha
Don't know shit about drumming, but sounded pretty good to me!
glad you enjoyed it!!
it is a nice cover, to be honest. I like it, but if I would not know the original one I would love it. Very good work of Periphery, honestly.
I love this version, it reminds me of Metallica's S&M version. But there's some serious overdrumming going on. The guitars and vocals are definitely on point.
I mean to be fair, drumming in Periphery songs is typically like that. I feel like it’s just them making this cover their own.
Nah, it's just that Lars underdrums 🤣
Big Dream Theater fan, love progressive groups. I'm new to Periphery but I'm liking everything so far. I enjoyed this cover, thanks for posting it. I'd also like to see this game remade or something, the idea was good.
Hands down better than the Korn version. 🔥🔥🔥
Wow what an amazing cover. i really love the different takes by different artists on my favorite songs and this is a shining example of that. it sounds like modernized metallica.
4:19 i started headbanging
Sick cover. Brave choice for the band! At least it's better than Disturbed's Fade To Black.
Metallica would sound sick covering this!
The best cover I’ve heard since Korn did it back at mtv. But they did not play the full song. This is gorgeous
too much everything :/
original is purer so that's da point
but... Lars still could take few lessons xD
singer is a bitch - WaaaAAAaaawaawaaWaaWaaAAA teeeheeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE
If the original were dirtier, then that would have been the point. Just take your vitamins.
That ghost notes
great cover!!!
11 years ago when they were still finding their sound, but even back then the instrumentals were awesome. I’d love them to re-record the vocals and re-mix the rest - their production quality and Spencer’s individual vocal skills have improved astronomically since then, they could make the ultimate One cover with their current form!
Props for the effort. Wish the vox was much heavier.
It's already so much heavier than James'.
That's not how lars played it!
Exactly whenever the drums sound good and tasteful, Lars very likely didn’t have a hand in it
James Hettfield is not know for his singing skill. This young dude is obviously able to hit those higher notes better, but James is a fucking Thrash Metal Icon. He is legendary for his badass rifts and his unique singing. I wouldn't compare them. Like, at all. This sounds like a really well made cover. But I'm a hardcore Metalhed baybehhh, so James all the way. It gets badass after the Lars drum part. Badabadabadum.....badabadabadum...lmao
Not gonna lie, I love how some of the bits in this cover sounds, especially the harmony
