Dude you combined Metallica’s most successful song with their most successful album. And hopefully you get at least a handshake from lars. This is brilliant
This is Metallica that Metallica has never written or played - freaky, yet very very cool. I dig it massively. It could be called Nothing Else Welcomes Home (Sanitarium).
I don't think so. Remember, at that point, Metallica was still strictly a word-of-mouth band and was still one more album away from getting ANY radio time other than one or two songs at a time when the local radio station would have been airing the Z-ROCK broadcast from L.A. on a time delay for a few hours on late night Fridays. They had a slot on the show called Mandatory Metallica, and that was the only time we ever heard them on the air before ...AJfA. Not even at 2:30 A.M. during the week. As popular as they were becoming, they still hadn't broken through to actually being aired at any time of day when us metalheads would have been sleeping through class. I firmly believe that if this had made it onto MoP, it would have destroyed any and all credibility that they had built up in the thrash metal scene and quite possibly derailed the band's careers. If we wanted to hear music like this in '86, that's why they had BonJovi. But this song is completely devoid of any subject matter they were writing at the time; politics, drug use, death, suicide, war, injustice, violence, agression, anger, mysery, suffering, sorrow, madness, etc. Not trust. They weren't singing about trust in '86. That didn't happen unti '90. It's definitely a great reworking of the song, just not '86 material. It's too polished, too clean, too radio friendly, too produced. No Metallica album should ever be produced more than A.J.f.A.
i reckon they wouldnt have liked it as they went to do garagedays ep and justice before they did this and those are heavy releases no way they would slow pace for whole song at the time??? but cool idea : ) \m/
We'll I don't think James would react to this song like us I love these remixes cause this song is sentimental to James and Lars would be like how can I play that his drumming skills have diminished over the years
They can be quite receptive to fan covers. A friend from years ago did a cover of their “new song” back in 2006 and it was featured in the Met Club with Lars reacting to it.
I really think that Metallica should give attention to the guys here in youtube who’re giving us some different aspects of metallica, at least sharing this beautiful mixing in their channel
Precisely this. I'm a big House and Techno fan and songs are ALWAYS getting remixed and re-released by other artists, some of the best and biggest tracks in the House and Techno scenes are in fact remixes which completely change the original songs, just like State Of Mercury has done here. Its about time Metal starts introducing remixes into the scene to breath a breath of new life into it as well as into these old and legendary anthems.
@@anemoia2661bands like Rammstein and Fear Factory have always done remixes. They are of course a bit closer to electronic music than traditional thrash, but still...
State of Mercury has lots of videos explaining how he gets specific sounds. Bryce Barilla does as well. In an interview with Andriy Vasylenko State explains how he does this too.
i totally feel the sanitarium vibes, like how the verse riff gets heavy before the chorus, and the solos after each chorus, and the thrashiness at the end. so cool
I'm hearing Orion, Master, Sanitarium and Matters in one song. My mind is blown, this is by far your best rework yet and I might like this version better than the original
It’s more a combination of the the 3/4 E minor part of Orion and Welcome Home (Sanitarium). The first part is inspired Orion and the thrash part is based on Sanitarium. Pretty awesome.
First minute - Very nice intro with very Orion-ish parts Second minute - The vocals have become much more distant than they are on the black album, and James sounds slightly younger, although not as much as usual in your redos. The Pre-Chorus is very chord-laden and ThicC. Third Minute - Ok the chorus hit woah. Very powerful, and reminiscent of Sanitarium. The Guitar solo afterwards furthers that feeling, which I think has been edited slightly as well. The drum fills are noticeably heavier and a second chorus brings in epic proportions Fourth minute- The melodies are quite sad, not aggressive. Very like a couple of songs on master. The chorus with soft guitar is interesting, and although not expected seems quite likely. The build-up is a part of the Pre-Chorus, which I think is taken from the title track. Oh shet, there's thrash Sixth minute - The thrash intro had a very interesting and off-camber fill which fitted nicely with Lars' style in the 80's. The following part is from Leper Messiah? Seventh Minute - I'm not even gonna have to write and eighth. The song very well brings across master of puppets, even if James' vocals sound off. The layout and instrumentals all fit perfectly. Incredibly well done, Mercury! And what happened to Black Album Blackened?
Usually TH-cam's "What if" videos get old very quickly. With this channel the story is different. Each and every time i love everything, ideas aren't repeative and the love and passion for creating these masterpices are overhelming. Thanks for every video you are making. Hearing them It's like getting your youth energy back.
This is away and much beyond perfection. This is a Metallica's best times worth new song, a thing not even themselves are capable. I cannot even begin to thank enough for this. Made my day entirely.

No joke. That was absolutely flippin amazing. Absolute masterpiece. Outrageously good. Astonishing. Insanely beautifully done. I could go on and on but I have to go back in and just hear it again. Bravo. Fuh king BRAVO.
I recently had a dream I went to another dimension where Cliff was still alive, and I listened to the black album. Unfortunately I don't remember all of it (actually I only really remember Enter Sandman), but I'm sure Nothing Else Matters probably sounded sort of similar to this
There are so many hidden things (not that much actually lmao) that made this song much sicker than usual. Allow me to give my 2 Pesos. 0:56 - A newly written solo following the verse riff of the clean guitars 1:07 a soft but audible harmony on that descending scale Also, realise that the vocals are now in double-take rather than single (the norm 'Tallica had back in their days) 4:45 the vocals are now in another key (actually caught me off guard LMAO) which makes this song much more natural. I have no words for the final solos, they're amazing as it is. It wasn't ripped off at all, just played by heart to fit the hands of Krik Hammer. The track, of course, was mostly inspired by Welcome Home (Sanitarium), but it wasn't *HEAVILY* reworked following the structure and arrangement on that song as well (be it either on Nothing else matters or sanitarium). What makes this a unique masterpiece is that you were able to put yourself in the shoes of the band themselves. You were able to write down new riffs and pieces that sound so much different than its inspired originals and made a ballad song into a heavy and boiling song, and that's what makes you the very best reworker out here. \m/

Sounds like what Metallica fans in 1991 wished the black album would have sounded like for how much they cried about the band selling out. Fantastic job, mate!
They didn't sell out they knew how to make money 4 years touring on that album grossed 750 million and they planted there seed of what they did with first four albums so they could do what hey want now load was to mainstream waste of there talent
Exactly right. Astute observation! Black Album was ho hum average to my ears and still is. 1/3 are very recognizable but a lot of borderline fillers compared to their earlier work. There were three factors it was so successful at the time 1. The previous classic albums that build up enormous anticipation. I was outside record store for the record release. It was like a Metallica concert OUTSIDE. 2. James Hetfields voice on that album is probably peak metal all time. Flawless. Not even himself can duplicate that performance. 3. There were a few hits that charted that launched the band to the normies and the backlog qualities then won all over.
@@malmstring I've always thought the record was deliberately front loaded with all the best songs on Side A. By comparison, Side B is Nothing Else Matters and "the rest."
Dude, reading a previous comment, you should totally remake My Friend of Misery the way it was meant to be created - without lyrics. No dissing James of course, I love his voice, but the song would be a lot better in my opinion without vocals
This shows Metalilica, the band, the songs, and legacy will live forever. Quite literally timless music, as seen here and with all the other people doing covers. 😊
Holy shit that was expertly executed. I’m a bit amazed at how well you emulated the sound of the frantic solos from Master. I honestly would pay for an album of songs that have been Master of Puppeted like this one.
Your truly the best writer I’ve ever heard this is amazing the fact that you can make a slow ballad like this into something else truly amazes me great work
The second portion at first sounded like "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" mixed with "Creeping Death", "Master Of Puppets" and maybe "For Whom The Bell Tolls".
This was beautiful. It wasn’t just a mashup like every other video you see. This was actual renditions of Metallica into nothing else matters that just made perfect sense!
@@marioalexanderski9598 That SUCKS! What gets me is; do the advertisers actually believe they make their products in any manner appealing via interrupting what we're trying to watch? If ANYTHING, that bullshit makes them annoying as Hell and sets a psychological precedent against their successes at future sales!
@Luke negative. I pay for enough streaming services without adding TH-cam too. I don’t have a problem with ads in the beginning before it starts. Ads in the middle ruin the song. Kills the listening experience.
you leave me speechless, fantastic job man, genius! you understand (and feel) what music really means to all of us, Metallica fans, this is just simple ear orgasm while hearing .You should definetely contact and work with Metallica team!
I decided to comment after listening to you reading the comments and this song got criticized??? This was like listening to a MetallicA song for the first time. First I thought it would be an instrumental, but the way you mixed this song is truly a masterpiece. The Welcome Home (Sanitarium) part gave me chills just like I vividly remember listening to that song for the first time. That is my favorite part of the whole album. Dude, you’re already a Legend. Months ago I realized that you are all I dreamed of becoming when I was a young teenager and all I was thinking and learning to play was MetallicA. After a while, I also realized that I don’t have as much talent as I’d dreamed. That was devastating and my patience plummeted. But you inspired me to pick up the electric guitar after 8-9 years and the MetallicA songs are coming back to me. Anyway, I didn’t know I was gonna go into my life’s story. Keep it heavy 🤘😈🤘 Everything you did is just perfect. Me and my friends discuss your songs all the time

Dude, reading a previous comment, you should totally remake My Friend of Misery the way it was meant to be created - without lyrics. No dissing James of course, I love his voice, but the song would be a lot better in my opinion without vocals
StateOfMercury and that was badass if I do say so myself!! You are a blessing to us Metallica fans!!!
Jason wrote it thinking it would be an instrumental.
He did it in Justice tune and it's unbelievably good.
@@SlacktivistWeeb it was ok. But no bass, no my friend of misery.
The contrast between the song "Nothing Else Matters" and the album "Master Of Puppets" is pretty hilarious.
Metallica must listen to this!! This is a masterpiece!!
Ya I love it reworked but this song is sentimental to James and I'm sure he wouldn't agree
This shows Metalilica, the band, the songs, and legacy will live forever. Quite literally timless music, as seen here and with all the other people doing covers. 😊
last time I was this early I was young and idealistic
5:25 love when this part begins
Yeah The Thrash Part
Godamn that solo is fucking tasty. Better than probably any modern Metallica solos, for real.
This channel deserves 10 million subscribers. Good job man like always!!!! Keep the good work up
Holy shit that was expertly executed. I’m a bit amazed at how well you emulated the sound of the frantic solos from Master.
I honestly would pay for an album of songs that have been Master of Puppeted like this one.
Nice use of the “feel” of the middle section of “Master of Puppets” as well as “Orion”.
one day I asked for a thrash version of this song and now we have it
u're awesome
\m/
So this is what it would feel like being born in the eighties and hearing Metallica for the first time!?
My dude, what have you touched that hasn't turned into gold? Ok, this song and tone are gold already, but daaamn!! \m/
Your truly the best writer I’ve ever heard this is amazing the fact that you can make a slow ballad like this into something else truly amazes me great work
@@StateOfMercury have a good day man ❤️
The second portion at first sounded like "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" mixed with "Creeping Death", "Master Of Puppets" and maybe "For Whom The Bell Tolls".
Damn dude. Instant download. Great job man!
This was beautiful. It wasn’t just a mashup like every other video you see. This was actual renditions of Metallica into nothing else matters that just made perfect sense!
You never cease to amaze! Your remixes are great and full of talent. Keep up the excellent work man.
This... Is... INCREDIBLE. Truly, this sounds like Metallica from an alternate reality or something. It's soooo good! Thank you for this.
There’s an Ad in the middle of the song again. I even let the ads play before the song first so it wouldn’t interrupt it. 😬 (just an FYI)
Same here.. They're going to far with that shit..2nd ad just started here.. Ridiculous!
Same, I almost threw my phone on my TV. It pissed me off
@@goodvidz1140
I got double ads on the beginning, during the middle part and a minutes before the song ends.
@@marioalexanderski9598 That SUCKS! What gets me is; do the advertisers actually believe they make their products in any manner appealing via interrupting what we're trying to watch?
If ANYTHING, that bullshit makes them annoying as Hell and sets a psychological precedent against their successes at future sales!
@Luke negative. I pay for enough streaming services without adding TH-cam too. I don’t have a problem with ads in the beginning before it starts. Ads in the middle ruin the song. Kills the listening experience.
dude this is so brutal like i don't even know what to say, good fkn job as always
That intro solo, holy crap 😍 these remixes are like finding a whole new awesome band!
The first 1.5 minutes is just incredible. I mean so is the rest, but the intro is just beautiful.
I thought you were good but this is so much better than any of the other ones you’ve done. Soooo powerful!!!! Fantastic!!
The Sanitarium feel is a really nice touch!
This is incredible and so beautiful.. Thank you for this. Truly a gifted musician through and through!
you leave me speechless, fantastic job man, genius! you understand (and feel) what music really means to all of us, Metallica fans, this is just simple ear orgasm while hearing .You should definetely contact and work with Metallica team!
I decided to comment after listening to you reading the comments and this song got criticized??? This was like listening to a MetallicA song for the first time. First I thought it would be an instrumental, but the way you mixed this song is truly a masterpiece. The Welcome Home (Sanitarium) part gave me chills just like I vividly remember listening to that song for the first time. That is my favorite part of the whole album. Dude, you’re already a Legend. Months ago I realized that you are all I dreamed of becoming when I was a young teenager and all I was thinking and learning to play was MetallicA. After a while, I also realized that I don’t have as much talent as I’d dreamed. That was devastating and my patience plummeted. But you inspired me to pick up the electric guitar after 8-9 years and the MetallicA songs are coming back to me. Anyway, I didn’t know I was gonna go into my life’s story. Keep it heavy 🤘😈🤘 Everything you did is just perfect. Me and my friends discuss your songs all the time

Those extra drum fills during the verse...That's sooo Lars!
Sweet Amber on Justice would be awesome that breakdown riff fits that album perfectly
Low mans lyrics on Black album
Sanitarium Late Demo huh?😎 really nice
This is incredible!!! Wouldn't be surprised to find out you are really Hetfield
5:25 total eargasm...
dude, all of your "what if...." songs are amazing.... man Metallica must be jealous about your versions ;-) outstanding work!
