What if "The Unforgiven III" was on "Ride The Lightning?" 

Hetfield sounds like he inhaled a bit of helium!! Never understood why some songs on ride and master were tuned slightly above E standard.

So glad StateOfMercury shouted you out, this is some truly amazing work

Bruuuuuuh! I'm in love! This Is actually sick. I've always thought The Unforgiven 3 is the best of the Trilogy, despite the fact its considered the worst.

That was very Ride The Lightning of you, Xenon.

That f*cking Intro 🙏🏻

This is beyond anything I expected honestly. No offense but I was recommended this and never heard of your channel but.... this is a masterpiece.

The ride the lightning tone makes everything so much BETTER!!!!

Damn that intro...

this song always makes me very emotional... this reimagining made me even more due to my nostalgia associated both with Death Magnetic and Ride the Lightning (and the incredible arrangement). Amazing work!

Tone is 100/100

I love what youve done with the voice! You didnt make James sound like a chipmunk

Wow that intro is so atmospheric

Take any song from DM or HTSD, give it the old guitar sound (has way more character) and put some finese into it, there you go. Masterpiece. The songs were never the problem

one of my favorite songs from Death Magnetic and you did more than an amazing job translating this to Ride The Lightning in both arrangement and sound. holy crap

His voice sounds like it’s straight from 1984 too. Great job!

really digging this - you nailed the RTL tone.

I LOVE THIS! Its so f*cking awesome! That Song in combination with Ride The Lightning (its my favorite album, I love its tone) Its sooo good!

thanks to state for linking me to this goldmine of a channel

Wow man. I might sound cheesy but I have to say, I really like these reworks, it's almost like hearing Metallica for the first time again or at least hearing their songs from another perspective. We're very lucky to have people like you making our little fantasies come true.

I LOVE the utilization of Fade to Black, it fits U3 SUPER well. Besides the vocals (I get it, not too much you can do), this is 1000% something I can hear be on RTL! Also, I LOVE the bass, it's got the punch and the tone JUST like Cliff had on RTL, FANTASTIC job! 4:28 on is just fucking PERFECT! Vocals included!

I like the soft verse -> heavy chorus part but i just feel like it doesn't fit with the vocal for some reason. An instrumental version of this would be good

Underrated channel

This is so incredible and somehow has much more emotion than the original. And I love the original

I low-key neglected listening to this for a while. But here I am finally listening to this, and I gotta say: This is sick AF

This might just be one of the best reworks I’ve ever heard! Up there with Bryce’s “If To Live is to Die was on Ride the Lightning”🤘

That lead up to the solo. Amazing work!

Been watching since you dropped Enter Sandman on RTL and damn this is straight up a Masterpiece. Absolutely insane!

Fuck, this was really good

This is masterful! The poor sound and production of Death Magnetic makes even the few memorable songs hard to listen to, but stuff like this really salvages the good stuff from there. This fits the song so well, although I still think the issue of it being musically disconnected from the other two is prevalent.

Wait, this isn't State of Mercury???

This one's my favorite. I feel like the UN1 is about being unable to forgive either his parents (because of his childhood) or society, UN2 is about being unable to forgive a spouse & UN3 is when he looks back & realizes that while it may not ALL be his fault, he sees that he caused more than he initially thought & now blames himself.

Epic intro. Great work.

it sounds amazing!!

MAN THIS IS BEAUTIFUL

sounds epic, dark and classic, just like ride the lightning.

You, state of mercury and ben zimmermann and bryce barilla.The true metallica rework gods. Great work here. This really couldnt be any better.

I really love your work. First of all, this is in my opinion, the best song of Metallica since 1991, the only one that includes beautiful melodies ans power. Secondly, Ride the Lightning is my favourite Mets album. And then, the guitar solos and harmonies are gorgeous. And you put much reverb on James 's voice like Flemming Rasmussen used to do. Excellent !

This is really your best project... simply impressive!

Nice job man, that's amazing! Suggestion: What If "That Was Just Your Life" was on "...And Justice For All"

FUCK YEAH. After having heard every Metallica song from the Hit The Lights demo with Lloyd Grant to that rap collab in the St. Anger days to the Ramones covers - this is so refreshing and welcome. Don't you dare fucking stop developing or I'll shove MUYA!

Air electrifies there! Amazing tone, keep doing this stuff!

I always like to play my guitar slightly sharp bc I like to sound like ride the lightning. It’s by far my favorite album

Beautiful, Epic!!!! The intro was fucking mind-blowing. James’s voice is a mix of Old James with a little bit of the crunchy james’s voice of the 80’s. That was awesome my friend 🤘🏻🤘🏻

You got some talent! listened to both of the songs you did, can't decide which one is better... Patiently waiting for more if you decide to make them.

That’s so good and the intro is just wicked. You did a tremendous job.

DUUUUUDE.....holy FUCK this is amazing!

SO GOOOOD MANNN, still waiting TDTNC

Lightning Magnetic

Jaymz's vocal sounds like Billie Joe Armstrong LOL I understand that vocal is probably the hardest thing to change. The instrumental part is so interesting and thrashing!

Man, it's so beautiful work,i really don't know how much i can describe it, it's really,like Metallica never die😅🤘fuck yeah

i can't stop replaying this

Fade To Black vibes and sound to Unforgiven III, really good work dude, keep it up. Changing the pitch of Hetfield's voice to sound younger is pretty good too. Perhaps, all of the youtubers that you make such effort should work together...! I think we all can agree that, the 80's Metallica guitar tone (especially RTL, MOP & AJFA 3 albums) SEPARATED METALLICA from the rest of all those wonderful metal bands that competed each other on headbanging us. Not only Metallica created meaningful music (with ferocity and emotions, with speed and relaxing vibes and brilliant lyrics on difficult topics), the guitar tone were SO UNIQUE that no one dared to copy them at least a bit...! Brilliant work dude, keep on!

That’s so freaking cool and Metallica heavy Metal music style right here

I fall in love with "What if (metallica song) was on (metallica album)"❤️

Fade To Unforgiven!

The gated drums cracked me up I’m not gonna lie

What confused me most was the 1 chord after the intro #1:03. If you listen closely, the bass plays a half tone higher than the minor triad that we expect and because of this the next phrase is heard in major) A trifle, noticing which it will be strange to perceive this passage differently)

OMG how this can be possible, amazing work!

Это прекрасно. Я реально поражон насколько точно вам удалось зделать звучание ride the lighting. И отдельное спасибо за соляк. Потому что честно это версия мне нравится намного больше. Ещё раз спасибо за столь чудесную работу.

I would love to hear this with that 1988 Hetfield AI vocal work.

not even 2 minutes in and I love it! I love how the intro transitions into the main clean riff. Cool! edit: HOLY SHIT THE HARMONY AFTER 1ST CHORUS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wow, this was badass, great job bro. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Instead of Ride the Lightning this album is... Lightning Magnetic

This was absolutely fire dude! Thanks so much for this! Love how it’s kind of structured like Fade To Black sounding but it’s still The Unforgiven 3 too! This was so fucking awesome! Thanks again for putting this out! You are the best! Keep up the great work man! 🤘🤘

wow i love it

Sounds super sick yo, that outro solo is to die for. Nice job Xenon

This is an absolute masterpiece, major props man 🤘🏼

This is tremendous!🤘🏽

this is fucken awesome

Wow that sounds really amazing. Beautifully done

Love this man. How do you get the drum sound so accurate to the original tho?

Dude this is absolutely awesome!

Guitar tone is on point 🤟

2:46 Was expecting Wasting love by Iron Maiden.

Awesome as expected. Keep up the good work!

This intro is a fucking masterpiece.

Wowzers!! This is incredible!

Perfectly worked in it👍

Spider riff in 2:03 wonderful addition 👏

amazing job!

Masterpiece!!!

Dude I subscribed to your channel. This is awesome.

Absolutely amazing 👏

How do you get the clean acoustic tone?? It sounds so good

Holy fuck dude this is unreal. Like this sounds like they made it

Beautiful voice

Really nice work

Excellent work!

Just super!

I love listen this then the original one from they 2008 death magnetic album lol😂

This shit is gold brother

Fuck yes, this is miles beyond better than the original!

Great Job!

Amazing

Play at 1.25x speed

Sounded like phantom lord interlude at the beginning a lil bit

Good stuff chief

How did system did you use to take this tone and modify it this way?
