One (Metallica) - Medieval Cover 

Ahh, this brings back memories. First heard this song played by Bardtallica live in the Pyrenees during the Year Of Our Lord 1298.

Yo, the battle sounds from the medieval times at the beginning was a great touch

I recall the summer of 1196 in the court at earls castle in ye olde England, the performance was amazing. And still listen to it to this day. Great music stands the test of time. I’m 850 years old by the way. I was 24 when I saw them live.

FIREBALL! Hath taken mine sight! Taken mine speech, taken mine hearing Taken mine arms, taken mine legs Taken mine soul, cast me unto the nine hells!

I wonder if back in medieval time people would have liked this or if it would just be noise for them. Great cover as always

You have set the bar to astronomically high for bardcore videos! Gorgeous cover and such an epic location!

"Now don't run too far, kids, stay where we can see you!" When I was a young girl my family went on a tourist trip to Spain. I'd never been to Europe and I was excited to see all the old castles and forts where medieval knights had fought against fearsome dragons. Mostly we just saw gift shops and cramped busy streets. But finally my parents relented to my constant begging and took us to see Peracense. I barely heard my dad's admonition as I ran out of the car and up the hills to the old castle walls. The stones were so old, and I believed I could feel the long-gone inhabitants of those ancient halls all around me. I kept running, so excited to see everything - and then I heard it. A gentle melody echoing down the hills. It sounded like someone playing a guitar, but a little different; this was gentler, more sonorous. I slowed down and perked my ears and followed the music. I came around a corner and that's when I saw him. Up on a hill outside of the castle, leaning against a rock and playing on a medieval lute. He was so far away, but his music rang so close and clear in my ears. It lifted me out of this world and surrounded me with the sights and sounds of a medieval thoroughfare as ghostly visages passed me by along the rampart walls. I heard echoes of voices selling fresh fruit in the market square, and the clatter of swords against shields in the valley below. I saw banners waving atop the ramparts and elegant women dressed in the finest purple linens giggling as they shared stories about their favorite soldiers. The whole castle had come alive, brought back from the dust by the player on top of the hill. "Sara! There you are!" The music stopped. I turned my head in the direction of my dad's voice and saw him coming my way. Hours had passed and the sun was almost setting. "I've been looking all over for you. It's time to go, your brother's been nagging me about dinner for the last hour." I moved to follow my dad to the car, but turned back towards the hill one last time - the musician was gone. Like the banners and the ladies he'd only been a shadow of memories long forgotten by all but the stones of this castle. But when I close my eyes, I can still hear his melody ringing in my heart.

Can we appreciate how the cameraman went back in time to record this for us! such dedication

If this man could travel back in time we would have books about how he ended wars with his talent!

The medieval battle sounds at the beginning was a perfect touch 🤘

Song takes me back to 1298, me and my friends just got back from a conquest, heard a local playing it. Amazing song

This is the kind of bard every D&D party needs

I remember hearing about Bardtallica back when I helped invade England with the other Norsemen. It's very interesting that their music is still being played by young bards here in 2023. It's even wilder that Bardtallica is still around and are now going under the name "Metallica"

This breaks my heart yet also makes me happy. My late love had "One" played at her visitation (one of her favorite songs), and she would have loved your cover (we were both D&D geeks). Thank you for this cover, it just feels so much like something she would have loved and I could see her saying it was her Bard's song in our campaigns.

As a person who loves both medieval music and Metallica, this is INSANE! Never thought we needed this kind of mashup but it works in the end,

The best bard of the entire RU-vid is back, wonderful performances as always Algal! 😃

I can imagine living in 1232, having to go to a battle in the morning, knowing I will most likely die, praying in my cold, dark keep while this is playing in the background.

The fact it's got no singing never inhibits the relic sound. Great job!

This is a testament of how great Metallica really is that these “Heavy Metal” songs they’ve written can be played like this and still sound so beautiful!💯

I've spent 15 years doing Renaissance Faires and never heard anything so grand as thy music. Grammercy.

I want this intro to play every time I enter a room 🙌🏽

The beginning battle sounds with steel meeting steel was a great touch that could've been forgiven if not included, but I, for one, appreciate it.

It was during the story when young Jonathan got his Sword. Still a heartbreaking tale. Tortured in a unfair battle, had his limbs cut, his eyes loss, his voice taken… What was worse that they didn’t kill him. Yet his masters and maidens who aided him refuse to kill him. A beautifully tragic tale. Brings a tear to my eye every time I’m regaled the tale.

Love how it's just like a acoustic version of the song

Saracens has taken my sight Taken my speech Taken my hearing Taken my arms Taken my legs Taken my soul Left me with life in hell

A Hymn for all metal heads, for me the best song Metallica ever wrote, absolutely powerful # great performance, dear Bard🎶

I'm a hardcore Metallica fan and this is my favourite song. You've done it justice. I loved it❤

The intro with the sound of swords instead of guns is epic, medieval style! 🤟

Chills and possibly wet eyes, same as the original. Bravo. Killer voice.

The music, the location, the costume, the hair, the beard, the musical instruments, everything seems to be good, gotta say I love this channel

The kind if music you listen to while pondering the riddle of steel.

The medieval war sounds at the beginning was a brilliant touch.

Lyrics: I can't rememb'r aught can't bid if 't be true this is true 'r dreameth deep down inside i feeleth to screameth this t'rrible silence stops me anon yond the war is through with me i'm waking up, i cannot seeth yond th're's not much hath left of me nothing is real but teen anon holdeth mine own breath as i wisheth f'r death oh, prithee god, waketh me backeth in the womb, t's much too real in pumps life yond i wilt feeleth but can't behold f'rward to bewray behold to the timeth at which hour i'll liveth did feed through the tube yond sticks in me just liketh a wartime novelty did tie to machines yond maketh me beest cutteth this life off from me holdeth mine own breath as i wisheth f'r death oh, prithee god, waketh me anon the w'rld is gone, i'm just one oh, god, holp me holdeth mine own breath as i wisheth f'r death oh, prithee god, holp me darkness imprisoning me all yond i seeth, absolute h'rr'r i cannot liveth, i cannot kicketh the bucket did trap in myself corse, mine own holding cell landmine hast taken mine own sight taken mine own speech, taken mine own hearing taken mine own arms, taken mine own forks, taken mine own soul hath left me with life in hell!

One of the most emotional prays ever

Стоит огромного уважения, супер.

Начало , конечно, вместо вертолётов - звуки сечи - это сильно! И очень изящно решена вторая , тяжёлая часть песни. Прекрасно!

WOOOOW!!!! 💯💯💯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful and nothing is lost, the emotion is still there terrifying and real.

I was wondering how you'll manage this part 3:59 and you did it just great 👍👏

I audibly gasped when I saw this on my feed. Perfect as always.

That was excellent and I really loved the scenery as you're playing.

You never disappoint that's for sure. Hope to one day hear you play "The Unforgiven 2" and "The Memory Remains" because then you will have played pretty much all my favourite Metallica songs :-)

4:00 sounds so good... it felt like i was in a medieval battlefield game

Como tem brasileiro curtindo um bardcore por aqui! Um salve BR para todos e também para esse canal incrível!!

Uma obra prima do Metallica, histórica, comovente, realista como a dor de quem perde não só uma parte física, mas também a alma num pós guerra. Obrigada por reviver o que há de melhor na música. Versão excepcional. ♥️

This is the song that inspired me to learn to play guitar, 20 years ago. I don't often listen to songs on repeat, but this one I had on almost every day at the time. I don't listen to Metallica anymore and it has been 2 years since I played my guitars seriously..but this song will always have a special place. Thank you.

One of my favorite songs.

I don't know how many times I've listened to this but I only just noticed the nice touch of using sword battle sounds instead of helicopters and heavy artillery for the intro.

Always thought One had a medieval tone and melancoly in it ;) Love it !

From the war at the beginning, to the amazing scenery and get-up and of course the amazing music. You are top notch my friend!

Honestly, I was right on board. Right up to the flute. Bravo!

Absolutely fantastic!!! Makes me wanna put on my Renaissance costume and headbang! 🤘

I'm shocked because I recognised one of my land's favourite castle, Peracense! Nice tune

Love it....this does belong in a scene in the prince of thieves movie back in 1991...very few people do metallica justice when they cover them but as a fan for nearly 40 years,this is great!

Splendid work! Authentic medieval sound in beautiful locations. Thanks for sharing 🙏

This song makes me feel I need to be the one!

Слушаю и слушаю. Вы находка для меня за последний год. 🔥👍☀❤

Once again I’m left breathless by your beautiful interpretation of this song.

A version of this deep cut song I didn't know I needed. Thank you sir 🤘🏽❤️❤️

This is freaking awesome

Amazing how much love, passion and hard work you put in your medival covers i can totally hear it as i listen to your music

Medieval times rock !!!

Castillo de Peracense, Teruel (Spain). Marvelous place in Spain. It is really worth visiting.

Oh my god the intro alone of the sound effects is great. Thank you Algal, great stuff!!

That's one of the greatest song's! 👍 This version of this song gives me a great medival feeling.

That's pretty awesome

Absolutely awesome! The intro with the fighting sounds was so perfect

Just amazing. The battle sounds at the start just show that through history, you could find those sounds anywhere in some form or another.

Love it!

Absolutely awesome!! 💙

This Metallica song has always been my absolute favorite, so to hear your cover version is wonderful! I just like hearing people's versions of cover songs.

this is one of those songs that automatically makes me cry. this rendition sounds great.

When the tapestry was discovered, the illustration and musical notes were translated and depicted to what we see and hear in this video.

Nice

Such a beautiful rendition! Awesome work! 🤘

Wunderschön, danke für das gelungene Video in großer Kulisse.

Absolutely love it! Thank you so much

Truly epic rendition! Love your music❤

То что делает этот человек просто восхитительно.

I love your Fear of the Dark cover, great channel.

I’ve been waiting for this for so long and it was way better than I imagined!

Imagine going into the armory in medieval times and gearing up for battle having a great possible last feast with your friends and you have the local bards playing this heavy metal shit for you, I'd be be fucking ready for battle for sure. I'm really high right now, but this was absolutely beautiful. I love this guy's work

I don't know how I missed this until now. I've been waiting for you to cover this exact song since I first subscribed to you. Worth the wait and I am not disappointed in the least.

Muy buena versión!! Excelente!!! diferente a todas, Saludos desde Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA!!!!!!!!

Dunno how this hasn't gotten more views. It's incredible

My absolute favorite Metallica song ever. Love this treatment of it!

Cada día se supera más, este hombre. Vivan los bardos, viva Algal.

You are so talented playing so many instruments and this version of One is beautiful in Medieval style like all your others!

The talent behind this is just amazing

Qué genialidad, qué maestría y que belleza de sonidos. Auténticamente medieval, con todo el olor y aire de la época. Brillantes y talentosos ejecutantes. Felicitaciones.

Kozak ...Pozdrowienia z Polski kolego :)

Such an Amazing Cover filled of Talent! Thank you so much for this and Keep Rocking mate!!!

I'm so impressed with how perfectly awesome your treatment of this masterpiece is

Классно, как и всё у Алгала! И ещё стоит почитать про историю этой песни и клипа на неё

Los ruidos de guerra al principio, solo faltó un "Go go go go go!" en Inglés medieval XD y por cierto, ¡gran cover! :D

Just amazing playing!

Probably my favorite one thus far!
