“My Friend of Misery” by Metallica re-imagined, bass-heavy instrumental tribute

Just for fun, combining aspects of Jason Newsted’s original riff tape demo with the highly-underrated Black Album track, including the unique B-bender Telecaster interlude, and a Cliff Burton-inspired take on the solo.

Along with the amazing take, there's at least 2 old school Simpsons references in this video as well. Perfect.
