Yes bro, Spector NS5XL! It was originally recorded on a Spector NS2, so similar pre amp and pickups. Mike is an absolute tone monster, ask anyone in the bass community about Nickelback and they invariably go “sick bass tone”.

Something tells me they would have a hard time playing the stuff off Kill em all.... and all the first 4 albums. The guitarist couldn’t do this solo and it is one of the easier Metallica solos.
Those guitar and bass tones are crunchy as hell. Makes it sound even heavier than the original studio version. Wish I could get a tone like this out of my setup.

But let’s be honest is there stuff that sounds closer to pop sound that bad? Dude if anyone says photograph is just a bad song I couldn’t believe them if I wanted to.
And they did. In 2017, they released Feed The Machine, the hardest record they had since The State. Of course there were some pop-rock ballads here and there, but half the album is definitely closer to metal than pop. Since then they've mostly been silent aside from the The Devil Went Down To Georgia cover that a lot of people liked, but about a month ago, they announced they're releasing even more hard music again.

Nickelback is one of the biggest examples of how much a label/record company can ruin a band. They are extremely talented, but their label has such a huge influence and voice on the music they create and release
This has got to be one of the best covers I've seen period. I'm impressed at how close this sounds to the studio version live 🔥🔥. Just like how Metallica did a cover album , I kinda want to see Nickelback do a Metallica cover album now lol imagine them playing Battery or Master of Puppets or Dyers Eve, Shortest Straw etc ?...... That era where James has that rough gritty Rasp (Master , Justice, Black etc ) Chad nearly has that down pat.

As a die hard fan of Metallica, I was skeptical to say the least at hearing about this cover. I am pleasantly surprised. It truly is the awkward moment when Nickelback doesn't sound shitty.
Nickelback should totally just make there next album metal...they have the sound for it, this is good enough that if they made a full version I would buy it
I have been searching the interwebs diligently for a person who actually went "there" covering Metallica and I find NickelBack... WTF... Hat's off this is the best Metallica cover on youtube.. I may have to put one out on my own..
@Dinhisty They didn't fully committed to the heavy metal back when they had the popularity. I guess some of their newer songs were heavier because they don't need to appease the general audience, or maybe you can call it "back to their original roots" because the band originally started as a metal band 🤷🏻♂️

This is unironically the best thing i've seen from Nickelback.
Half the comments: ThEy ShOuLd mAkE mEtAl MuSiC
Me: sounds like you haven't heard a solid half of their songs, they have WAY heavier music than you think they do
Animals is the JAM
They are amazing alive and in the studio...people just hate them without a real reason.
@Eoin Richardson people just hate Nickelback because its "cool" to hate them
Stanzb chad kroeger being a dick.....
#WalkAway from the Invisible Enemy! My favs are bottoms up,burn it to the ground,this means war and a couple others
Nickelback is one of the biggest examples of how much a label/record company can ruin a band. They are extremely talented, but their label has such a huge influence and voice on the music they create and release
I'm so happy to live in a world where I discovered that Nickelback kicks ass at a Metallica cover. Never would have guessed.
This has got to be one of the best covers I've seen period. I'm impressed at how close this sounds to the studio version live 🔥🔥. Just like how Metallica did a cover album , I kinda want to see Nickelback do a Metallica cover album now lol imagine them playing Battery or Master of Puppets or Dyers Eve, Shortest Straw etc ?...... That era where James has that rough gritty Rasp (Master , Justice, Black etc ) Chad nearly has that down pat.
One of the best covers I have ever heard
Brutal, so good. 😮
I CAN'T be the only one who was expecting this to suck ass but was pleasantly surprised
Haha if you're legitimately surprised, then you've been hating Nickelback and ignoring them for trends dude. Their lead singer has a huge vocal range.
Nah, I knew it was gonna be good. I mean come on. It's Nickelback and Metallica mixed together. Awesome mix
Usually Nickelback sucks but this cover was really good 0.o They need to make heavier songs.
***** Side of A Bullet comes to mind which was written about Dime.
Look up burn it to the ground
LykABoss Check out Because of You. One of the few Nickelback songs I still go back to.
+Walty Ramone there's also songs like Animals, Side of a Bullet, This Means War, Bottoms Up, & Edge of a Revolution.

If Nickelback did a Metallica cover album I’d honestly buy it. This is lethal
Maybe nickelback should consider doing some metal

Never again. Woke up this morning. Flat on the floor. Fight for all the wrong reasons. Side of a bullet. Burn it to the ground. Just to get high. This means war. Midnight queen. Feed the machine. Coin for the ferryman. The betrayal act 3.
Flat on the floor is awesome...
leviathan00009 listen to feed the machine
@@thetannernation its like 5% of their songs
Side of a Bullet is about Dimebag Darrell and they were given permission to use one of Dimebag's unused solos for the song
As a die hard fan of Metallica, I was skeptical to say the least at hearing about this cover.
I am pleasantly surprised. It truly is the awkward moment when Nickelback doesn't sound shitty.
***** Especial when they are all about sex now days
WTF they never sounded shitty!
Since when has chad sounded shitty you clown. Your another 🤡 that knows f all about misic
That’s insanely great. Chad has an amazingly crisp voice live.
Why is this good?
Because Chad loves "Sad But True?"
Nickelback should totally just make there next album metal...they have the sound for it, this is good enough that if they made a full version I would buy it
Flixx TheWolf We got Harder rock instead. still a good album
@@patrickstar6247 The intro of The Betrayal (Act III) was Metallica influenced. James respects Nickelback
THat was literally the best Metallica cover I've ever heard... honestly, well done.
They should produce more music on the lines of this style... They'd get a huge boost
Never been a Nickleback fan, but this was awesome!!!! 🤘🤘
I’m more impressed that many people showed up to see Nickleback sing songs
I wish they did more of this kind of stuff, theyre actually really good here
My favorite Nickelback song!
Me too
I have been searching the interwebs diligently for a person who actually went "there" covering Metallica and I find NickelBack... WTF... Hat's off this is the best Metallica cover on youtube.. I may have to put one out on my own..
They nailed that guitar tone perfect
And that bass riff is sick
Biggest Nickelback mistake was not making heavy metal songs even when they actually had the potential 😂🤣😂🤣
@Dinhisty They didn't fully committed to the heavy metal back when they had the popularity. I guess some of their newer songs were heavier because they don't need to appease the general audience, or maybe you can call it "back to their original roots" because the band originally started as a metal band 🤷🏻♂️
Going platinum like 11 times doesn’t really classify as a “mistake”
11th best selling band of all time gets criticism from random TH-camr about their potential *
I want to hear the full version
Обалдеть, это же концерт, но звук-то какой, почти как студийная запись, просто кайф!
Nickelback should start making Metal Albums and use Superior Drummer for the drum parts..
Dude the drummer is actually pretty good
Gamez4Lif3 Even better than the lame Lars.
Is there drummer any worse than Lars? Doubt it.
John Rodriguez Not at all
Holy cow!! I did not expect to see this while scrolling looking for nickelback covers, but I clicked, and was not disappointed.
Dammmmmm they nail it so awesome omg
