That came outta nowhere when I saw them lol I was like “Alright what song are they gonna do next?” like it was gonna be normal. Once that opening chord was played I immediately jumped in the moshpit that spontaneously appeared in front of me
@@oldmatevb totally agree. James had a vision for what he wanted his guitar tone to sound like. Bob Rock is a Master of sonics and sound, and was able to help James get the tone that he had in his head onto the album.
James Eaton yea I agree I mean James tone has been monstrous since master, but justice had (IMO) more brutal tone then the black album. I really think bob just helped with creative direction asking James if he would want to try that riff with another guitar ect stuff like that James layered what like 8 something guitar tracks on sad but true that’s incredible. I think the production of that black album has a a lot to do with it aswell just booming
@@james_d_eaton James and Lars said they listened to the intro to "Dr Feelgood" and and they wanted that big, crushing sound, Bob Rock really brought out everything from them during the album, its still one of the best sounding records ever made
@@oldmatevb No it wasn't. James isn't an engineer, and a recorded tone is more than just dialing in the controls on an amp. The tone on this album was a blend of Mesa and Marshall amps slaved to each other and then processed with a mixing desk after careful mic positions on the cabinet. Bob Rock was absolutely the guy who made this happen.
No i don't think so. Tony Iommi has a style of his own and I won't think this riff will get near it. He does wish to write Kashmir by Led Zeppelin, which again is kinda downtuned to D, even though its DADGAD.
I once got close to this TICCNES by layering 10 tracks with 2 amplifiers and 2 cabinets. It sounded amazing but it takes a lot of time and patience to do.
@@kristianbalusik8872 Check and see if you can raise your gain try to use the heavy gate it's on 94 I think we have the same amp probably the same presets
This was one of the more confusing songs to play when I was just starting out. Usually Metallica songs will follow some sort of pattern in the verses as they do the opening of the song, but this one was all over the place. Which is why it's one of my favorites to play.
It’s actually a whole bunch of overdubs using a few different amps and a baritone guitar. Underneath the main guitar, there’s a baritone track that’s tuned down a full octave which is what gives it that super heavy low tonality🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
1:21 sounds hauntingly good and it sounds so powerful and then 2:01 sounds so impactful and heavy asf and that’s what i love about the entire song and album
@@chrisdawson6156 depends on what album we’re talking about. if we’re talking about the black album, it’s gotta be of wolf and man or don’t tread on me orrr the god that failed. 👍

following the time, only master of puppets is heavier than so far so good so what. Rest is pop music compared to megadeth. I love metallica, even more than megadeth. But there is no fucking way their are heavier than megadeth.
You people do realize this is about 4 to 5 tracks put together at the same time? :P You will never get this sound out of one guitar. You need 4 different recordings playing at the same time (multiplying one track over and over doesn't work you have to record it 4 times) .
HLM MM Nope, 29 in a song. I think it was To Live is to Die, which has rhythm guitar, Kirk's leads, James' lead, acoustic guitar, and clean electric. It would add up.
You can almost hear James letting some unwanted noise through at times, especially during the verse riff. Maybe that just contributes to the "more human" quality present in the black album like Lars mentioned on A Year and a Half in the Life.
Luukeksi FrozenHillbillyEurotrash Could be. You never know how many other times this was layered after the left/right/center tracks. I still don't know whether this was played on the Mark IV or the IIC+. So friggin' heavy. \m/
straightupballin3 The picture shows James because he does the rhythm of the song which is most of the song. (James' rhythm goes on in the background of the solos but that's in another track)
***** Is it? I was under the impression that until Load, the only guitars Kirk recorded were the solos. While he contributed in the making of riffs too, all the guitars in studio was recorded by James, except for the solos.
Yooo I just heard something never heard before - nothin crazy but on the greatest part at 1:42 there is a slight slide down to the final open power chord from around the 12th low E string give or take.
Came here for 1 thing: rhythm guitar @chorus. I love Kirk’s part there, but I wanted to hear clearly what James was doing in the pre-chorus, “I’m your dream...” that’s the most complicated part to hear in the mix.
Kirk didn't play any rhythm tracks at all. But maybe you mean like his actual tone he likes for himself, I stand corrected. Kirk likes a lot less gain on shit, treble kinda high.
I don't think people understand the true heaviness of this riff. Wanna know why it hits so hard? Listen to the bass track to this song, and you'll know why.
If I stand corrected this is kirks track because of that chorus while James keeps up that chug we all know and love I can tell it’s double tracked but kirks parts are louder so for the verses it’s both and the chorus and solo it’s Kirk
You guys arguing over the layers/dubs/tracks: Rhythms are at most quad tracked, usually just a right, then a left. And there is absolutely a possibility to have 29 tracks of guitar in a song. In many of my Pro Tools' sessions, I have over 120 tracks of different instruments/vocals so 29 wouldn't be unheard of for guitars for a guitar-oriented band such as Metallica. If you, as a band, want to do things really well and hone your sound, there is NO way to just plug in and get your tones through one sound/amp/take, you have to multi-track....
Bill Batenborough Hmm. I would guess that maybe those single string rhythm patterns that Metallica does are probably layers upon layers, but things get super mushy, even when played very tightly, when quad tracking full on barre chords. Again though, I'm thinking maybe tracks like .....And Justice for All may have had lots of takes because it's more of a single string rhythm progression.
Jason Ragland i get what ur saying, but theres like no bar chords in any of mettalica's sound, its all power chords and such, i have a 12 tracked thing as a guitar demo ive done and it sounds great, the trick is for the individual guitar track to have not so much bass, so that when all the frequencies add up theres just the right amount at the end, thats what gives the mush
