@@unlawfullettuce798 why would they not lol it’s just a cover and they did an amazing job. Plenty of shitty Metallica cover bands out there, how about you go be a douche on their videos.
ZBB is really a rock band that was forced into the “Nashville System”. That’s why literally 40% of their live show is covers. If you listen to their covers you can see what they’d actually like to be playing.
As a hard rock/metal dude from way back, I gotta hand it to some of these country guys like ZBB and Rascal Flatts. They know how to rock and rock pretty well. It's called musicianship.
@@geneprescott802 Thanks for pointing that out. I've always felt Ann Wilson was one of the hardest voices to match and accurately capture what she could do. Gretchen nailed it.
Zac Brown band will always surprise you with other songs. They blew my mind with Enter Sandman when I saw them. They'll do Beatles songs, you'll just never know what they'll throw into their performances. A very talented band.
as a metal fan, saw this with my country fan brother, new years eve in detroit the night before an outdoor hockey game at the 'big house' (MSU?) 2016 or so. Eye opener..you think we're all different, but six strings and the truth binds us all
I worked a Zac Brown concert a couple of years back. I would absolutely pay to see these guys. They're true entertainers and know how to put on a show.
I'm a metallica fan. I saw ZB last year knew a few songs went to the show. Loved it. Now ZB is on rotation and I didn't expect to hear enter sandman, it was awsome live. The entire show was amazing live. Definitely see ZB again
UA-cam algorithm guided me here and I didn't know ZBB. I know nothing about the Country genre but... When right side guitarist started 'Sweet Child Of Mine', I felt something would happen. Felt like I saw another world when they played 'Back In Black'(AC/DC), 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'(Nirvana). From Mozart to Metallica and ZBB, they have given me countless precious moments. Huge love from Korea, 2020.
saw these guys a few years back with a friend... i never listened to them or really cared for country enough to go to a show, but this was one of the most fun shows I've been to
I love how one guitarist starts playing anything, and the whole band just starts following and playing along, no matter the song. A special kind of badass.
@@howardzdenek98 Doesn't matter if it was all rehearsed or not - still cool. Also, I've played in and for various bands over the past 25 years. I'll tell you first hand that any musician worth their salt can do this without rehearsing. When you understand music, you can easily apply it and play just about anything off the cuff.
I love country. I love rock and Metallica. Metallica was my 1st concert at 17 yrs old, senior in HS, and saw them on a school nite and we still got up next morning to go to school. That was the deal I made with my mom❤️🤘🤘
That was bad ass!!!! Damn the energy of the band and crowed made it even more EPIC. Great job guys! Even my daughter was rockin to this. Amazing stuff !
I would be totally happy with spending my concert money just for that fun little guitar battle... It's much better when bands plan out a good time rather than trying to jam through the set list and promote the newest album fast as possible.
I was there , awesome show ! Zac Brown is from Dahlonega just 12 miles from where I live here in Suches , Ga. I’ve been ever so blessed to have seen Him live many many times . ♥️🎶🎶🎶🎶
In high school we wrote “Fade to Black” for a string quartet, drums, and electric guitar with the violin playing lead. You’d be surprised how much easier Kirk’s arpeggio based solos are to play on violin than guitar
All of the misdirected hostility in this thread is ridiculous. It’s safe to say that most of you are not musicians...cause everyone knows that musicians pay their dues by playing covers. You play songs that appeal to both you and the audience and slowly start to find your own voice. This performance isn’t a faithful rendition of the originals...it isn’t meant to be...no more than Hetfield doing Waylon’s Don’t you Think was meant to be a carbon copy. It’s done for fun, for Pete’s sake! I was actually pretty impressed by this myself. I’ve always like ZBB, but seeing them stretch and show some of their influence has made me appreciate them a bit more!
Rick Nees I saw them in New Orleans earlier this year (2019) and they were awesome. Closed the show with hot for teacher and bulls on parade. Never thought I’d go to a country concert and leave with a rage song in my head
I saw Zac Brown the first time at the Southern Comfort Bar and Grill. Back in 96/97/98. He was an up in commer and a freind of the House band. Sadly that bar is gone. But ZBB goes on.
Cool Sweet Child O'Mine cover😁 Thanks for taking me back to my college days for a few moments guys!! You guys nailed Enter Sandman!! I bet you guys could do a good covers of Kree Nakoorie and Island in the Sun by Alcatrazz☺
I went to Valdosta State in the mid 2000's. Zach brown came and played at local bars about 2-3 times a year. Last time I saw him was a few months before he won a grammy. Just wild.
It's cool to see these guys having some fun playing a Metallica song at a country concert. As a musician, I love playing songs of multiple genres, I imagine these guys are the same, their bread and butter is country, but they like all kinds of stuff.
I’m a fan of ZB, but if you had told me they’d turned one of their country concerts into something right outta Metallica by hitting a home run on Enter Sandman, I actually would’ve thought you were joking.
You know, what is missed is its all country and blues. If there was a miss, it was the Nashville sound, which put handcuffs on the musicians. I used to think the rockers and the country artists would have a shootout, if ever in the same room. Instead, they were hanging out with each other. Most of the original rock and roll guys ended up country, because that was what they were. The next wave trended that way as well. Look at Brown and imagine him on a country stage 40 years ago.
I think back to the 80's when Metallica were still the shit! when they were the biggest metal band who never had a song on the radio because their music was too hardcore. and now country bands are saluting them. we really are in the future! so awesome!
@@vinnielalumia I know that. I'm making a contrast between the time this song came out when Metallica was on top of the world and in the 80's when they were actually just as popular but not mainstream so they had hits but no radio stations would play them, but they play them now. Fade to Back and Master of Puppets were considered too hardcore in the 80's and the first time Metallica made a music video was the song One.
Had to make an early exit at the way end of a ZBB show years ago due to an impending blizzard, the dark of night, and an hour plus drive home.... ~Learned from a coworker that was also there that I missed enter sandman. I was ticked.
These negative comments are BS! Zack Brown played at the Indy 500 last spring. They covered Metallica, queen and the beastie boys. Absolutely fantastic and it’s always great when other musicians cover songs especially out of their genre. Gave me a whole new level of respect
They played this in a concert in Ridgefield, WA. Teen girl in front of me looked at her boyfriend said, "What is this crap?" She got on her phone while the rest of us went crazy! Her loss great show!
I actually had to start a mosh pit at a Metallica show in 2019 not so easy when your'e nearly 50. And just for you I will go to a country show and start one
I went to this country music concert or festival back i n 2010 with my wife and daughter. I started raising up and down on my toes rapidly because I'd just gotten diagnosed with vascular disease and and my feet had swelled up and fell asleep. The singer stopped and accused me of assaulting my own daughter and I was grabbed up by this big fucking security and tossed over the rail and taken to the parking lot. I guess she must have thought I was dry humping a teenage girl from the angle, but we were just squished together on the floor. It was such a shame that I didn't make it to see Taylor Swift give one of her last true country music performaces...not really. I know someone has it up on UA-cam probably, or Watchmojo has probably made a show out of it.
They aren’t just a band. They’re musicians and they can play whatever the fuck they wanna play. As a metal head, they have our blessing
Better have the blessing of the one and only band
@@unlawfullettuce798 why would they not lol it’s just a cover and they did an amazing job. Plenty of shitty Metallica cover bands out there, how about you go be a douche on their videos.
Who needs blessings from metal heads?
I'll never forget all the compliments James Hetfield of Metallica gave to Country Music, even wrote Metallica a hit country song "Mama Said"
@@DekkarJr James also performed at the CMT Outlaw show honoring Waylon Jennings
I love bands (of any type) occasionally doing something "outside their genre". Good music is good music, and the fans clearly loved it.
Saw Kenny Chesney's band do a Heart song (don't remember which) with his bassist singing, she was good
I’m convinced that ZBB can do damn near anything
ZBB is really a rock band that was forced into the “Nashville System”. That’s why literally 40% of their live show is covers. If you listen to their covers you can see what they’d actually like to be playing.
ZBB does a lot "outside" the country genre and they kill it. This is a talented band.
Check out Fergie doing Heart with Slash.
I'm a Metal Head by choice, but a Country Boy at heart.
That was friggin awesome.
Same here. I liked that a lot!
👍🍻
As a hard rock/metal dude from way back, I gotta hand it to some of these country guys like ZBB and Rascal Flatts. They know how to rock and rock pretty well. It's called musicianship.
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD GRETCHEN WILSON SING BARRACUDA? LOOK IT UP ON YOU TUBE!
@@geneprescott802 Thanks for pointing that out. I've always felt Ann Wilson was one of the hardest voices to match and accurately capture what she could do. Gretchen nailed it.
Boom!
Gene Prescott YOU DONT HAVE TO TALK IN ALL CAPS. WE GET IT
Plus years of playing bars clubs etc, you have to be adaptable and learn EVERY song.
What I like most here is that the crowd is into every song. No booing, no "what the hell is this?" Just "WOOO! MORE!"
I love how every artist of all genres gets excited to play metal…it’s fun to play and awesome live
Zac Brown band will always surprise you with other songs. They blew my mind with Enter Sandman when I saw them. They'll do Beatles songs, you'll just never know what they'll throw into their performances. A very talented band.
These ppl are not country music fans, the are MUSIC FANS, the came to see the artist and what they can do and they appreciate every minute of it.
as a metal fan, saw this with my country fan brother, new years eve in detroit the night before an outdoor hockey game at the 'big house' (MSU?) 2016 or so.
Eye opener..you think we're all different, but six strings and the truth binds us all
Can we get an amen in the house?! 🙏
The Big House is U of M in Ann Arbor. I’m glad you were able to see it.
Respect!
I love MUSICIANS and the fact they played Eruption, Sweet Child o Mine, Back in Black and others before ES...much respect for life
I worked a Zac Brown concert a couple of years back. I would absolutely pay to see these guys. They're true entertainers and know how to put on a show.
Every band, in it's heart, is a metal band!!!!! Well done boys
!
well said brother!!
Yep. See Johnny Cash and Waylon for example...
Every band, in its heart, is a little bit country.
I love country rock ,to see Zac Brown band play a metal song is pure class
This band is so incredibly talented
I wanna hear the rest of Pride and Joy!!
He got that intro pretty good right!
ua-cam.com/video/kfjXp4KTTY8/v-deo.html
As a Metallica fan, this was pretty cool to see. I enjoyed it and would definitely see Zack Brown Band in concert.
Going 6/12/22. Ample theater Missouri can't wait
I'm a metallica fan. I saw ZB last year knew a few songs went to the show. Loved it. Now ZB is on rotation and I didn't expect to hear enter sandman, it was awsome live. The entire show was amazing live. Definitely see ZB again
Saw him morph another song into Enter Sandman at the Amway in Orlando back some years. It was goosebump raising. People were into it
Love the crowd singing. Music is music no matter what is being played. Kudos guys !
This is the greatest riff-off I have ever seen!! WOOOOW! Then it just got better!
UA-cam algorithm guided me here and I didn't know ZBB.

Chicken fried is ZBB top selling song I believe.

I got to see this live and the energy was insane!!!! Gonna see them every time they come to town
imagine being good enough to play solos by some of the greatest guitarists of all time
I love country. I love rock and Metallica. Metallica was my 1st concert at 17 yrs old, senior in HS, and saw them on a school nite and we still got up next morning to go to school. That was the deal I made with my mom❤️🤘🤘
Nice lol ❤
I'm a metal head, rap, love songs, and good ol country boy, these guys are the best!! Love ZBB!!
That was bad ass!!!! Damn the energy of the band and crowed made it even more EPIC. Great job guys! Even my daughter was rockin to this. Amazing stuff !
Surprise
I would be totally happy with spending my concert money just for that fun little guitar battle... It's much better when bands plan out a good time rather than trying to jam through the set list and promote the newest album fast as possible.
I have never seen this band live but watching this shows me how entertaining they are. This is now a band I will seek out. Well done.
2:11 Those 15 seconds of "Pride & Joy" were glorious.
Now that's a good time right there. Guitar battle with real musicians and no auto-tune. Haha
ZBB is very talented and can play everything.
the vocals made me cringe bc they dont have the edge and the drums are different but still good
@@1m3agle well not everyone has James' growl and Lars' thump.
Not to bad considering most " bands" of today are auto-tune lovers lol.
@@1m3agle the edge is U2.(lol) This is a cover from a homegrown Dahlonega GA band.
Can they play infant annihilator?
@@1m3agle Yeah, they were in time.
I saw them years ago with Willie Nelson in Farmington NM and have been a fan since ❤️
Nice to hear the good music get lots of cheers. AC/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughan, GNR, etc.
I totally love this .... talking about stepping out of a comfort zone.....great job....Rocked it....
This is AMAZING! I love real musicians showing all their sides.
I was there , awesome show ! Zac Brown is from Dahlonega just 12 miles from where I live here in Suches , Ga. I’ve been ever so blessed to have seen Him live many many times . ♥️🎶🎶🎶🎶
ZBB played Enter Sandman at the Houston Rodeo last year and tore the roof off. Such an awesome experience.
Talent is talent no matter who it is and this man has some serious talent as a singer songwriter and as a guitarist , holy dang , Wow Zac
Absolutely awesome doing some AC/DC Nirvana and Guns and Roses leading up to Metallicas Enter Sandman! Zac Brown Band rules!
What an incredibly talented band, each and everyone of them!!
Reveal True Self!!! Love it! You know you are a rocker!
I was there, just an insane show!! Ya know it'll be a great one, when you see two full precession sets
That fiddle sounds so awesome in this song! Much respect to ZBB
In high school we wrote “Fade to Black” for a string quartet, drums, and electric guitar with the violin playing lead. You’d be surprised how much easier Kirk’s arpeggio based solos are to play on violin than guitar
I saw them play this last summer in Fenway and they KILLED it

Amen

Country is the New Rock-- Thanks for preserving it!
Doesn't matter who you are, where you are everyone knows Metallica and Enter sandman! The best band ever ! 🤘🤘
Lol! I would respectfully disagree with you. That would be MEGADETH!!!🤘🤘🤘
@@michaelhorn9114 objectively, Metallica is way more succesfull. But it's all subjective really
Very nice discussion boys well thought out
The best? I'd pump your brakes on that one lol.
@@AbeVicious they are amazing. One of the most influential bands in the history of music. They're right up there with the best ever from any genre.
A guitar battle and enter sandman? That was dope
When the 2 kids in guitar center battle each other.
I don't understand why you got so many thumbs up for such a stupid lame pathetic f****** comment
@@peoplevsradio317 I don’t know. Ask the 113 people that liked it haha
I am not a country fan but this would be great to see live.
Love metal, love country, love this
This is like standing around Guitar Center for 10 minutes.
The dueling guitars is perfect.
Hello thank you for your love and support towards my unending career🌹🌹.... Where are you from?
Very cool! Like them going out of their usual and it sounded good! Their definitely talented
They're*
@@ieatgreenfleas 😝
LOVE IT!!! Metallica are my boys and the ZBB rocked this version of Sandman!!!
With that voice, they could deff do a motorhead song. I herd some lemmy in there
For a country group....that was SO MUCH badassery to unpack....it's mind-blowing.
I clicked on this because of the title but hearing the intro to Smells Like Teen Spirit put a smile on my face and 😁
Not a country fan or ZBB fan however if these guys decides to do a metal album I definitely buy it this was f’n awesome
Man, I can't believe how far that band I used to like back in 1985 got. It's surreal... They were OUR band!
The Dahlonega sign made me so happy. I also lived in Dahlonega, though, Zac was a few years ahead of me. Still that sign made me smile big.
LOVE THIS!!!! Well done, gentlemen. Metallica would approve.
Fiddle player deserved more acknowledgement and stage presence
Jimmy de martini. Was in a Dave matthews cover band before zbb.
That was awesome. Love Metallica and now want to listen to some more of ZBB
Great Country Band + Great Heavy Metal Song = Pure Awesome
I saw Zac Brown the first time at the Southern Comfort Bar and Grill. Back in 96/97/98. He was an up in commer and a freind of the House band.
Sadly that bar is gone. But ZBB goes on.
Cool Sweet Child O'Mine cover😁 Thanks for taking me back to my college days for a few moments guys!! You guys nailed Enter Sandman!! I bet you guys could do a good covers of Kree Nakoorie and Island in the Sun by Alcatrazz☺
He did a cover of paradise city
Great Show thanks for sharing whit us Cheers.From Canada
I am not a country fan, but huge respect for those guys. Looks like a fun concert and they sound great.

He shredded that solo on a fiddle...yall don't know a good Fiddler till you see somebody shredding Kirk Hammett note for note
Kirk can barely shred that solo any more lol
That was not note for not fyi
Needed more wah
Yea that was unreal
Kirk hammet is the worst lead guitar player in the history of metal.
This band is so deep and talented it really should just be called. The Band

Such cools guys. Worked with them back in the day when they were just starting.
This takes me back to high school.
Not a country guy, but god bless ‘em for playing an American classic & doing it well too!
SRV Pride And Joy.
Just like you don't take the Lord's name in vain, you NEVER attempt any Stevie Ray Vaughan lol
I'm so happy they can do this and Chicken Fried 🤘👍👏
Musicians are amazing 👏
I always judge any cover of this by the "hush little baby" part, and that dude fuckin' nailed it.
I'm not a Zac Brown fan or a fan of country music for that matter, but this was badass!
These are called tributes. The highest honor a band can get from another great band.
I think back to the 80's when Metallica were still the shit! when they were the biggest metal band who never had a song on the radio because their music was too hardcore. and now country bands are saluting them. we really are in the future! so awesome!
Scott Thomas this is from the 90’s when they were all over the radio. Much more than this nobody

This guy is sic on the guitar!!! I am new fan of ZBB.
Monsters blues sound,never heard of these guys,pretty loud,I like how they put on a show for people,not just country,I see why they are huge
i live about 40 miles away from this an i can confirm that i did hear enter sandman in the backgroud lol
Had to make an early exit at the way end of a ZBB show years ago due to an impending blizzard, the dark of night, and an hour plus drive home....
~Learned from a coworker that was also there that I missed enter sandman. I was ticked.
sounds great these guys can play any thing
need a couple of " yeeeah"'s in there
That was very awesome. Thanks for sharing
They had that crowd going nuts, ain't that what we pay them for....lol great job
likely the most versatile band out there today
I’m a huge hair metal fan but isn’t it funny to anyone else that ZBB sounds better on rock than some rock bands? Guitars and all instruments included.
Ya, modern "rock" bands
No
@@Sadowskibradley rock is asleep right now. Someone's gonna come along and wake it up at some point
Joe Kaput there is tons of good rock. No the mainstream Disturbed shit
Metallica is the epitome of anti hair metal, in case you didn't know now you do. But they did do well with this.
Enjoyed that immensely!
