Metallica and Diamond Head are like a symbiotic relationship. Without Diamond Head, Metallica wouldn't have sounded as we know today, just like most metalheads wouldn't even know who DH is if not for Metallica covering them.
Society works so much better when bands are just happy vibing on each other's songs instead of filing lawsuits at each other over using the same two notes in their song as the other band's latest single.
In 1984,Metallica cover Am' I Evil? song from Diamond Head..in 2020 after 36 years,Diamond Head cover No Remorse song from Metallica..worid is a circle..
Brian Tatler is one of the most inspiring, original, influential and therefore best guitarists in music!! Diamond Head got me through school in the 80’s and when I hear that stuff now it still puts a smile on my face. In 83 Metallica came along and blew me away. Meeting Brian and Lars together around the corner from Hammersmith Odeon is still a moment I won’t forget. PLAY IT LOUD.
can't believe I'm just now listening to this for the first time. This is an OUTSTANDING cover, seems to me like Diamond Head and Metallica are perfect at covering each other's works.
actually many metal musicians listen to their fanbase or read comments don't think they don't do it! it is the pop artists or top 20 morons they are like puppets they don't read or commenting because the music industry (music labels) behind it don't accept critisism its all about money and clicks they not deal with their fanbase.
Fuck that Metallica should open for diamond head and they are absolutely not allowed to play any of their garbage music from the black album or anything they have released since then lol
I wonder if any of the guys from Metallica could of ever guessed the band they covered in the 80s, who inspired them so heavily would cover their own song almost 40 years later. This is absolutely awsome cliff is probably ecstatic right now
@Andrew Salter Metallica had been doing Diamond Head covers at shows before Cliff even joined the band. Also, it was primarily Lars who got the rest of the band into Diamond Head.
Diamond Head has a lot deeper influence on Metallica than I had originally thought. Incredible how under the radar Diamond Head was. A band that was ahead of their time and didn’t get their due.
So happy to see this. Decades ago, Metallica officially covering “Am I Evil?” was so groundbreaking. And now, all these years later, you guys are returning the favor. How epic.
Imagine being in a crappy band practicing in someone's garage, jammin' on covers and stuff. Then, over 30 years later, the musicians you looked up to are now playing covers of *you*. Honestly, I'd put this as the 2nd best Metallica cover I've ever heard (Sabaton's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" cover is #1), and the video is pretty cool too. Gettin' a kinda Rob Zombie vibe from it.
@@stevenkilpatrick6397 homie you do realize Metallica was first a Diamondhead cover band James literally got his singing style from them. Now give this band the respect they’ve always deserved and not force them into the shadow of Metallica
@@mitchroger3671 That must of been a huge setlist. Just because they played 3 or 4 songs doesn't make them a cover band Now stop pretending to be a know all, you dick!
As a lifelong Metallica fan, I can admit that this is better than the original. I love James but he was a kid on Kill Em All and Ras' vocals honestly blow James' out of the water. The amazing modern production also gives it a real kick.
@@ButcherGrindslam uggh, you really didn't get the point of the video, did you drone. lol, still thinking 2 parties are different. they all go to the same bank, and own shares in the same business. you sir, are future cannon-fodder. blindy led to your slaughter...
Thank you for bringing back the days of my youth with this music. And one more. If I die and they don’t play this music at my funeral. I'm not even going there.
I have the original albums. This is what it would have sounded like if they put it out in the 90's. It was more metal on the original album, but it's still metal now. If I can buy this version, I will. Diamond Head is still awesome.
I been a fan of both Diamond Head and Metallica for many years now. It still amazes me the different takes of the Diamond Head songs from Metallica as compared to the original. This is a refreshing take from the other side. Thank you guys.
Same here. I still think you can't replace Metallica's original version, but this rendition is ridiculously awesome. Feels like the metal, the sound the crispness is spruced up a bit from the original, the vocals are kick ass even though I do think Hetfield's vocals are deeper tone which I've always loved about him distinguishes him from a lot of other metal vocalists. But yeah I'm on the fence over which version I prefer now and I just heard this version the day before this comment, I'm 51 years old now, metal is not dead for me lol!
Diamond Head is the most underrated band in rock and metal history. One of biggest influences on thrash metal and an awesome rock/metal band in general!
@@russellmcgurn4217 But they are. They basically invented thrash metal but most people have never heard of them. I know you're one of those "not like other guys" people but please explain how they aren't underrated
@@arminc4658 you are so right. And I'm like the other guys, in fact, I am the most "another guy like me" in the world. So this is my list of underestimation: Saxon, Diamond Head, Barón Rojo, Philthy Animal Taylor, Lars Ullrich on tour, Raimbow, Dave Mustaine as a human being, Clive Burr&Paul Di Anno, and obviusly, Real Madrid and Margaret Thatcher.
It's a great cover. And that's a nice compliment because Metallica is not so easy to cover without suffering from the comparison. I'm so happy to hear a band from the 70's still have the sacred fire!
@Thor Thunderlungs yeah, but Diamond Head was a major Metallica influencer and 36 years ago Metallica covered DH. The circle is now complete, this is history.

Thanks, professor.
it's because winter approach, everybody up the covers
Yes, the world is a circle, good to know that you are not a flat-earther
Metallica Covers from Diamond Head,The Prince,Am i Evil,It's Electred,and Helpless.
The Prince & Helpless are the best! Lightning To The Nations was the best album from 1980 (even edging out Iron Maiden!).
If ya didnt catch it: The Red devil at the beginning is the one from the cover of the Jump in the Fire EP.
i notice that too, good reference.
Thanks, professor.
Got it already🤘🏼😬
Killer cover!
Nice, It's like i have seen that before but i don't remember, so it's from Jump in the Fire
Am I Evil? Yes I am, and I have No Remorse.
Haha nice
We will seek and destroy the damage inc. and give justice for all
