What a surprise to be invited to record with Guitar World Magazine. The first tribute to ever be included in the USA's best-selling guitar magazine. To say I'm honored is an understatement.
Loved this! Been a fan of T4H since 2010 and love how you’ve grown. Loved to see how you break down the various riffs and just makes me appreciate your skill even more.
Saw these guys play recently, they are incredible. If you get a chance, there's no better Metallica experience, especially for the early stuff. Their attention to detail and precision on stage is amazing. The drummer and bass player are both just as great. Love that they're getting some exposure, they work their asses off!
The Four Horsemen is one of the best and most consistent tribute bands in existence. Probably the best I have heard for Metallica. A lot of people who have never tried a full band cover underestimate this band and call their songs easy. To everyone criticizing the playing: can't wait to see your Metallica cover video where you nail it 100% bro
THE FOUR HORSEMEN!!!! FUCK YES!!! I'VE seen snd hung out with these dudes! At their show they missed ONE thing, and that was the drummer missed a stop. But they NAILED the shit! I was an expert on their stuff, they called me "Metalli-Kev" for years.
Gotta love the critics on here. This band is gigging 2 -3 times a week, some large venues most could only dream of playing, have a fan base over forty one thousand (including international). They are packing venues. You don't get that kind of adulation and those gigs playing "wrong". The lead singers shirt says it all "They hate us cause they ain't us".
No kidding, right? Never saw these guys play locally, but if they play the early years Metalli-thrash, then hey, Power On. Loved those early years and seeing 'tallica at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin in the Summer. Grilled brats and listened to Garage Days in the parking lot before the show. And tried to take walks with my friend without her brother trying to inconspicuously follow us to ensure we made it back to our group safely (I think their mom threatened to clonk the guys with a frying pan if they didn't return with the girls who went with in one piece). 😂 Good times! Can't think of a better Metallica era to play covers from. 🤘
I was 8 going on 9 when Master of puppets came out so I was a little too young to know Metallica but I had an older sister who bought some Metallica tapes. She had Kill em all and Master of Puppets
That’s badass… I’ve seen them a few times. They put on a hell of show. Shout out to Drew Pencook their dummer. All amazing musicians! Happy Holidays guys.
My guitars are custom built. DB Originals is the name of the company. They're a two-man business. Dave Felton the lead guitarist of Mushroomhead is one of the builders. He's been a friend of mine since the late 90's. I wanted a 24-fret guitar with a deep cut out for the higher register and a Floyd Rose. I added glow in the dark fret markers in certain positions. We play a lot of stages and some of the lighting techs black out while we're soloing which I can't stand - so I can see my fret markers if that happens and try to stay on the correct frets during those instances. The white guitar also has its volume knob up on the wing. I did this for when we play Eye of the Beholder. I can reach the volume with my left hand and slowly gain it up when we do the intro of that song so it's like the album. We try to be as close to the albums as possible. It's not 100% but then again, no one is. Our show is very high energy and crowd-engaging. It's a ton of work every week, but a lot of fun when we're on stage.
I used the Spark Mini and my lead guitarist used his Kemper. We had to get into NYC and there was no parking anywhere near where we were going to be, so I decided to bring that mini. It was pretty cold, windy and we walked about 2 city blocks with our guitars and those two heads. No way I wanted to bring my actual head and walk with all that weight. The audio does sound a bit off from the video and sounds compressed but they may have had to do that to the entire recording. The Mini sounds really good for a tiny little practice amp. We both jam it on the road cuz it's so easy to just set it on the floor and plug in a guitar cable. Battery powered unit makes it quick and easy. Tone and volume is quite impressive.
@mesaboogie4x12 wow, thanks for taking the time to let me know! Ya'll should do more vids explaining your techniques/ Stage gear and so forth! I learned a lot from this video! Thank you! I don't blame ya for not wanting to carry all that gear, but it sounds killer on the vid!
@@martin42382 you're welcome. We are just entertainers, no egos or rockstar attitude. I may just do a video with a gear rundown and upload to the band channel. I have three weeks off before we start up shows for 2025, so I have some time. Thanks for the idea and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We were joking around a lot while recording it and had the Guitar World guys laughing constantly. It really was fun!
@@bigtimerusher9719 I used to front a Megadeth tribute. I get people telling me I sound more like Dave than James and I think that is a very accurate statement. I take it as a compliment. Love Megadeth as well! Met Dave 2 times and he was very cool to me.
They're not playing the riff to Metal Militia correctly. It's played lower on the fretboard and the single string section ends with a pull off to the open D string.
These guys looks pretty cool but lot of mistakes here :/ This is not the way James and Kirk play lot of riffs showed in this video... :/ Dyers Eve riff is wrong - To Live Is To Die is wrong - One is wrong - Fade To Black is wrong - The Struggle Within is wrong. Lot of people will take this for true and it's not. Maybe some channels are better for Metallica things.
I saw The Four Hoursemen and Metallica a few months apart. The Four Horsemen were more intense and put on a better show! These guys played only the old stuff - what the fans actually want to hear! Metallica played only a few good songs. It seemed they were playing whatever songs THEY felt like, not what WE wanted. Probably because they’re bored of playing the same thing all the time. The stadium was sitting down for half the set it was so boring. The Four Horsemen play small to medium size venues with live cabinets. So you can actually see them and feel the music. Metallica use in ear monitors and a silent stage. So the closer you get the weaker they sound. And if you don’t have good seats then you’re just watching the big screens. I thought to myself that I would rather be home watching them on TH-cam.
I'm sorry but a Hetfield "More Beer!" Explorer HAS to be with a TOM bridge and 22 frets. These guys play great but there's still some parts they're not nailing 100%. Kudos for them for exposing more people to Metallica tho.
Nobody, especially live, is going to notice them not playing these songs 100% accurate except maybe a handful of guitarists. Music can be fun and doesn't have to be an exact science. Everyone can recognize what they're playing
Because you can see an amazing live rendition AND the energy of EARLY Metallica at a fraction of the cost of concert tickets for the original artists. Plus original artists don't perform in many areas that tribute bands will go to.
What a surprise to be invited to record with Guitar World Magazine. The first tribute to ever be included in the USA's best-selling guitar magazine. To say I'm honored is an understatement.
I saw you guys in my feed and I was like am I going crazy? This is awesome

Saw them in Derry NH a couple weeks back. Great show. Lead guitarist had incredible energy
I saw em too with my uncle in 2023
At the tupelo
These guys are THE best Metallica tribute out there! love seeing them when they come around.
The "James Hetfield" guy picking the guitar like Kirk Hammett, the "Kirk Hammett" guy picking like James Hetfield 😅
Metal rarely comes to Vermont. They’ve played here five times in the last two years! Affordable and awesome show!!!
I saw them at Penns Peak in Pa and they are absolutely awesome
Its crazy how legendary Metallica is.
Omg I saw you guys in Indy and we talked about creeping death at the merch stand!!!
These guys are the real deal - Saw them in Mount Clemens last year, I was blown away. So fun, definitely worth the price of admission!!
Saw them in McHenry, IL. Incredible show. The only play up through the Black Album, so it's just my speed.
THE FOUR HORSEMEN!!!! FUCK YES!!! I'VE seen snd hung out with these dudes! At their show they missed ONE thing, and that was the drummer missed a stop. But they NAILED the shit! I was an expert on their stuff, they called me "Metalli-Kev" for years.
Good on guitar world plugging these guys
These guys are damn good!
Those bends on the sanaterium outro were tasty well done!
11:55 the moment in the concert where I can’t help but throw both hands up and scream LFG like a little kid.
the best tribute band ever!! the best

Top quality.
Killer band, I have seen the multiple times
Great players and dudes
These guys kick ass! They called on stage cause I’m a “Dave mustaine look alike”
You guys aren't good. You guys are great! Happy New Year. Melt my face off in 2025🤘😎
Great tones, what make is that explorer guitar?

What amp is being used in this video? Excellent video! They explained a lot!
Spark Mini I think, mentioned in the video around 26-27m.
I used the Spark Mini and my lead guitarist used his Kemper. We had to get into NYC and there was no parking anywhere near where we were going to be, so I decided to bring that mini. It was pretty cold, windy and we walked about 2 city blocks with our guitars and those two heads. No way I wanted to bring my actual head and walk with all that weight.

See them live- they bring it….
Just like "And Justice", there's no bass 😂 All jokes aside, it was fun to see them live.
Shredders!
Negative 10 lol i was plus 21 🤜🤘🤛
What are Pull-Down Chords?
He does it around 9:13
He means slide.
The lead guitarrist looks like lars and the rhymth sort of looks like mustaine.
Talks like Mustaine too!
I see that too with our lead guitarist. I love Mustaine so that's a compliment to me!
@@bigtimerusher9719 I used to front a Megadeth tribute. I get people telling me I sound more like Dave than James and I think that is a very accurate statement. I take it as a compliment. Love Megadeth as well! Met Dave 2 times and he was very cool to me.

*******YAY*******
GreatAllicA!
Fuck yea

there are lots of mistakes but these two sounds really good. Excellent job for a tribute band.
Luke....dude,where's the V...it was made 4u
Cya in Fredericksburg
Better than Kirk Whammett
Guy on the right's guitar sounds weird. And messed up the easy bass notes at the start of puppets. 😂
These guys looks pretty cool but lot of mistakes here :/ This is not the way James and Kirk play lot of riffs showed in this video... :/
Dyers Eve riff is wrong - To Live Is To Die is wrong - One is wrong - Fade To Black is wrong - The Struggle Within is wrong. Lot of people will take this for true and it's not.

Missing a G note in that Dyers Eve acoustic section.

Honestly I understand why he does it some floyd players aren't big on the feel of a Tom
Nobody, especially live, is going to notice them not playing these songs 100% accurate except maybe a handful of guitarists. Music can be fun and doesn't have to be an exact science. Everyone can recognize what they're playing
Why listen to your cover band , when the original still exist ?
Because you can see an amazing live rendition AND the energy of EARLY Metallica at a fraction of the cost of concert tickets for the original artists. Plus original artists don't perform in many areas that tribute bands will go to.
these guys are better than Metallica live. Its all old stuff that the real Metallica doesnt do because they sold out and went pop.
@@jdcrypto2242 Ahh yes the classic souless elitish no taste take
Bruh😂 it's like they try to play everything on the wrong spot on the fretboard sounds so bad. Not even muting high strings in the opening wot
"These are easy"....proceeds to butcher the picking of the leads
