I'd love megadeth do a cover of Metallica and vice versa. That'd be awesome. Megadeth do Damage Inc. Or Blackened Metallica do Five Magic's or Set the World Afire!
I love it when bands cover some more underrated songs such as this one, instead of going for the usual picks like Master of Puppets/One/Enter Sandman etc. The only thing I don't like about this cover is the part batween 0:34 and 0:48 - it's an OK solo, but I'd rather hear that kickass riff.
Being a huge Metallica fan and a pretty decent Testament fan, I have to say the vocals on this are fantastic but I feel that Hetfield's vocals fit the song better, I don't know how to describe it. But. The solo is fucking amazing.
dark roots of earth is really good album. kind of like Metallica should be. not that death magnetic is horrible or anything. all these bands aren't the same. bored millionaires don't make as impressive thrash as they did when they were starving artists starting out. I'm 49 tho. I'm still impressed how many of these bands are still around. I can't believe a lot more of these guys aren't dead (believe me I am amazed at that most about myself)!!!
It's not only a question of age. Some 55 years old are still as metal as in their youth, but when you've been touring non stop for 30 years playing MOP, Creeping Death and Blackened, now have kids, have recovered from your addictions, you don't have the same raw rage and energy. You can't fake this energy.
This is a nice twist on the original. To all the bashers on this song just think about this. There's nothing more boring than a band to try to perfectly duplicate a song, and as a musician it's really a back handed compliment when some drunk ass walks up to you after you play and says hey man y'all nailed that skynard song.
When I was born = Judas Priest When I was 1-13 = Judas Priest When I was 13 = metallica Metallica metallica Metallica... they are (cough) were my favourite band until I heard this 😮
He died just before Sofia Big 4 took place. I know who Dio is, you kidding me?!?!?! Dio and Heaven and Hell are two of the best bands of all time... not to mention the heavy metal legends, Sabbath. James is a crazy metal vocalist, though. Not anymore, you're right. But back in the late 80's-early 90's, nobody could touch him in rock n roll. Even though I'm one of the few that still prefers Dave Mustaine's voice lol... MEGADETH!!!
Youre smarter than I thought, sorry for underestimating you :) And yes I know what you mean, I prefer Dave Mustaine over James anytime any place any song. Maybe Metallica was very famous over the time (and they pretty much still are), but I dont think they were the best.
I want an album where each of the big 4 makes an cover of their favorite song from the other bands.
I'd love megadeth do a cover of Metallica and vice versa. That'd be awesome.
Megadeth do Damage Inc. Or Blackened
Metallica do Five Magic's or Set the World Afire!
Sounds like a album with 4 songs
@@rorydesjardins3142 no it'd have 12, because each band would make 3 songs
Testament + metallica = amazing tour or album
Testallica
Testameta
@@TheArchDemon729 hi
@@TheArchDemon729 That sounds like something else lol
This song is simply perfect for Testament.
This fit Testament perfectly

Dang, Chuck Billy wows me all the time, never ceases to sound amazing!!
Gotta give them credit for picking a song that isn't a normal cover choice.
One of my favorite covers!
Great line-up... sounds amazing
Awesome. Love it when kickass bands cover great songs of the metal.
simply perfect! how much energy! thank you so much for existing
YOU ARE - JULIO DENDAHO
hahahahha
Dzifas XDDDDDDDDDD
explain? =(
HUEVOS CON ACEITE
The testament cover of this song is sick!
great job .... great testament!!
Great vocals
Being a huge Metallica fan and a pretty decent Testament fan, I have to say the vocals on this are fantastic but I feel that Hetfield's vocals fit the song better, I don't know how to describe it. But.
The solo is fucking amazing.
Hetfield sounds more angry
fuck Chuck's voice is so fukin perfect! gives me chills. love all the extra guitar stuff they are adding in. so many more layers to this song now.
TOO AMAZING.
awesome!!!
Great cover
Doug Aldric and Alex Skolnick!!!!
YEAH MEN!
That was sweet!!
just 2 musicians are from testament...
Chuck Billy rulz!!
chuck billy is a metal god!!!
this kicks ass!
incredible voice, can raise the deads
I like both Testament and Metallica. hats off to them doing a good cover :D
3:12 BAASSSSS ENGAAAAAGE!!!!!
This solo was much better than the original. So were the vocals
one of the very few respectable covers on this album.
That's kick ass!
Kick ass cover!!!!!
My is this an improvement on the original. Excellent guitar work here, the solo rocks.
I like this one:)
Little out of key, but I think this is around the time when Chuck was getting over Cancer. :( He always RULES though.
YES
ganda banda
@Etienne Rousseau The black album had some songs that are thrash .
skolnick is the man .. not even hammet can do it this good and chuck billy is a fucking god !!
I love Testament and all but the original is still better.
agreed.
Johnny Utah420
I don't.
I think this sounds better than Metallica's.
Who cares, this isn't a fucking competition.
This is better much more heavier and brutal
@jasonwalker79 No it isn't heavier. The guitars on this sound dry.
Chuck Billy should get deified for his amazing voice and talent...
good cover..
Skolnick did a good job.
Testament a única com características pra fazer bons covers do Metallica!!!
The original is the best..best production and vocals and most powerful ...but Alex Skolnick Solo is better than the original!! Both Kick ass!!
Parece mesmo que todos os covers do Metallica que o Testament gravou são anos-luz melhores que as versões originais de estúdio! 🤟
YEEAAHHHHHHHHH
HOLY SHIT AMAZING
THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL WOOOOOW
No way to compare Chuck's vocals, down right metal!
CHUCK FUCKING BILLY !!!!!!! thats all
agreed...Devildriver killed it to though
better than the original
Way better and heavier testament made this a 1000x better they should've been in the big 4 or at least big 5
okay your face smashed in the solo was sick
@Pectivo no es testament amigo, está el cantante y el guitarrista
Chuck billy = legend
with 67 layer tracks and 554 differente effects, the vocals on this version sound almost as powerful as James's voice in Metallica demo versions...
Zaebicheski!
Very nice huh...
This isn't actually Testament though. The only Testament guys are Chuck Billy and Alex Skolnick.
The original is much better, but respect for Testament, not bad cover :D
Black Album is an great thrash album... For example this song is pure thrash... this was last metallica's great album.
At what point plays Doug?
There's someone In my class who is perfectly described by these lyrics.

More heavy that's all🔥🔥🔥🔥👺👹🤘🏻
omg... the mainn riff here sounds much more like Megadeth
its not testament. Its just chuck and alex on vocals and guitar
This is really good though, better than the original
o.o Dread and the fugitive mind
Metallica has and will always be my favorite band followed by Testament.this one case where the cover is better than the original
Bro, everyone's entitled to their opinion. I also like the original better, but this one is good.
Haha you're right, I heard Dread and the Fugitive Mind in this.
Better than the original.
Track looks like times "Souls Of Black ". M E T A L M E N T )))
When I was born = Judas Priest
When I was 1-13 = Judas Priest
When I was 13 = metallica
Metallica metallica Metallica... they are (cough) were my favourite band until I heard this 😮
I don't think so, Mechanix is a song originally written by Mustaine
*BOWS*
i agree in the solo, but the vocals... you should listen the original music again ;)
@Audiostrum99 Black album isn't Thrash Metal because of Bob Rock
He died just before Sofia Big 4 took place. I know who Dio is, you kidding me?!?!?! Dio and Heaven and Hell are two of the best bands of all time... not to mention the heavy metal legends, Sabbath. James is a crazy metal vocalist, though. Not anymore, you're right. But back in the late 80's-early 90's, nobody could touch him in rock n roll. Even though I'm one of the few that still prefers Dave Mustaine's voice lol... MEGADETH!!!
this would sound cool with chucks 80s vocals
Now...slayer should cover "Nothing else matters" lol
That solo on the intro just don't go.
it's really hard to not be biased, but.. I like kirk's solo version more because it's more active. this is a great cover though.
@joe r I think that album could of been good with good production and solos
Better than the original in my opinion.
the leads are mad
Sounds like Jason Newsted singing
you are. . JULIO DENDAHO !!!
@Etienne Rousseau yeah but it atleast had a few thrash songs on it like this one. Rick rubin is way better then Bob rock
They should have picked something off one of their good albums to cover.
Hetfield vocals better than Billy's?? What planet are you from? hahahaha
Now I want to see Megadeth playing a Metallica's song XDDD haha
Just watch them play Mechanix
no i wanna see testament cover symphony of destruction...tht would kick millions of asses
a métrica tá toda errada do chuck no vocal
Heck i think i like this better than Metallica's!
Heck Testament should've wrote this.
lml
Youre smarter than I thought, sorry for underestimating you :)
And yes I know what you mean, I prefer Dave Mustaine over James anytime any place any song. Maybe Metallica was very famous over the time (and they pretty much still are), but I dont think they were the best.
Actually made this song sound good. Impressive
Doug and Alex smoke Kirk Hammett's solo so hard that it's not funny.
Even the almighty Lemmy did! Of course as the saying goes, once Lemmy does a cover of your song the song is no longer yours.
