I don't think St Anger really needs fixing, I enjoy it. This is just for fun :) Thanks to Harley Benton for sponsoring the video, check out the guitar here: bit.ly/3Ua2xtG And special thanks to Otu for the vocals, check out his channel here: www.youtube.com/@moonicproductions
Aside from the snare sound on the original I would agree it's not that bad. That being said I think you've got the best version of Frantic that I've heard so far!
I agree, St. Anger is a great album in it's own way and has a lot of awesome songs, Frantic being maybe my favorite (either that or My World), but you did an awesome reimagining of it that's just as great! Love that you got Otu to do vocals, he does such an awesome young Hetfield style.
@@maxthescarecrow4038 st anger. I don’t know how true this but apparently the reason the snare sounds the way it was. Was kirk getting revenge on lars for suggesting the dropping the guitar solo. Dont know how true that is
@@lewisgrant7622 It's pretty much accepted that it was completely Lars' idea. Bob Rock said that once Lars tested the drum he bought he went "this is the sound" and there was no talking him out of it. Even so, the snare is not the only issue plaguing the album. Hell it might not even be the worst of it.
This has been tallica's problem for the last twenty years. Some interesting riffs and ideas but everything outstays it's welcome. Particularly as their whole style has drifted towards a punkier style. If you're not going to write in an epic style, don't make the sense an epic length. Was the same with Pantera's final album.
@@edwardchester1 Another problem I think Metallica have had for the longest time is starting songs. Death Magnetic, Hardwired and 72 Seasons all have songs that take far too long to get to the vocals.
@@bullstaff4406Why did you bother responding if you feel it's a pointless comment? That's the real question. Side note the original is terrible by every possible way to look at it. Bad music, bad vocals, terrible lyrics, critically panned, makes load look heavy. It has no redeeming qualities.
This was WAYYY more faithful to the classic Metallica sound than that whole album was haha. I dropped off of Metallica after St Anger, but if it sounded like this, I might have stuck around! Great work!
People are too closed-minded if they want St Anger to sound like every other album. I get the hate back in the day, if i had to wait like 6 years after Reload and then 5 more years until Death Magnetic with only St. Anger in-between I would have been FURIOUS too. But y'all gotta let that go and experience St. Anger the way it was meant to be, as a RAGE album. I put on any of these songs whenever I'm angry and its a really great therapy
Everybody talks about the snare or the lack of guitar solos of that album, but the real problem with the St. Anger is, the songs are too long, if they where between 3 to 4 minutes no one would have complained, it's just that they are too monotonous to last more than 6 minutes.
From watching Some Kind of Monster I think this album was doomed from the start. They just weren’t in the right mindset, there was too much meddling (at some point their psychiatrist was even giving input ffs), Jason was gone and Bob Rock did a terrible job as a producer.
@@peteplaysmusic despite not liking St. Anger, I'd like to see some stuff from Black Album, a piece praised by the high level of music engineering, in this style (WITH THAT SNARE)
@@peteplaysmusic Well, St. Anger style fits well the songs that were made that way, but playing Slayer, Pantera, Death Metal or whatever in this style would be terrible
It's really a piece of very good work, dude, I'd love to hear the whole St Anger from you. Maybe I would finally enjoy it. Listening to this performance gives me a lot of pleasure. Congratulations
Holy fuck... I imagine how I would have teared down the walls of my room back in 2003 if this had been the original opener of the new Metallica-release. Great work!
That guy from Moonic channel is absolutely incredible, I love his content and he's so fun to watch. You both did a great job here man you're a freaking tight player, awesome !!
St. Anger is one of my favorite albums ever for my own reasons. But I love hearing everyone's different takes on what it would sound like it if sounded... better
I love St Anger and for me I think it boils down to timing I was too young to really connect with anything before St Anger and just the tone and style of that album really hit me because of where I was in my life ... Metallica for the most part has always had a sound that was essentially controlled chaos like it may have been loud and fast but it was always precise and felt like every note was exactly where it needed to be ... St Anger was like anxiety it felt unhinged like something was broken like everyone just snapped and you go back and watch and read things about where the band members were in their personal lives and it makes sense
Dude, fantastic job!!! After listening to your intro it sounded so much better than I imagined. I can only imagine how much better this album would have been received if it was done in that style. I personally did like st anger though. I was more into it than load for sure.
I like this version more than the original. The higher tones feel like a metal blade is cutting through wood like a knife through butter. Smoothly and precisely. Both thumbs up for this one! \m/
Late to the party, praise be to the algorithm though for sharing this video. Massive improvement on the original! Now - as others have commented - can you repair the rest of the album? After that maybe you can distil Load and Reload into a single album of genuine bangers taking the best bits and cramming then into 10 or so five-minute classics.
I never minded the sound of St. Anger... until I heard this. We were robbed of a classic Metallica album. Hope you rerecord the whole thing and put on YT!
That was amazing! Both of you absolutely killed it and I love all the extra classic Metallica nuances you sprinkled throughout the song! I don’t think Metallica could’ve done any better if they revisited it! 😎👍🏻
i'm an old school Metallica fan, and just plain old, and Frantic was my favorite song out of the, uh, new Metallica stuff, and this is just so cool what you have done with it! kudos!
Your version was far better and that solo couldn't have been any better. Quite honestly I felt as though I was definitely listening to classic Metallica versus this newly transformed version. I get an understand that it seems like things need to transform in some way but quite honestly the way Metallica has held their ground for so long I never thought I'd hear them transform their sound in such a drastic way. They would be proud to hear your version I am sure of it.
@@groggyfroggyfpv6868 Shit album! Today I'm full blown into Scandinavian style progressive heavy metal. There are so much good music out there, why dwell in shit?
*As a musician of 13 instruments, a singer and music composer, as well as a producer of over 40 years, I can say, NOTHING sounds like St. Anger. It is like hearing someone play a semi-tonal guitar. You just want to smash it to bits.*
As someone who watch this video and read comments i can say NOONE cares what are you doing and do you want to smash this album or not. Its your business so keep it to yourself and dont insult people who like this album for whatever reason. PS - id love to see how better than "St. Anger" your compositions/production/whatever sold
I see this comment “songs are too long” not a single song even gets to the 9 minute mark. Plenty of metal bands play 10+minute songs without a second thought
That solo gave me chills, bro!! Wow. I had to listen to it twice. Would LOVE to know what Kirk would think of it. And you put it in so smoothly. Perfect placement, perfect execution. The main riff itself would probably be better if it was a bit heavier.
Soooooooo...... that was amazing. Sorry but the entire album was a throw away for me for years. This would be killer if you recorded it and put it on Spotify. The whole album really. Also, bought the Harley Benton R-446 through your link. Hope you got the royalty! Keep it up!!! Cheers mate, from Texas!!!

You were sick dude! Great job!
Killed it as always. 🤘🏼
you are the current youtube metal GOAT. i love all your stuff.
You killed it my dude!
You nailed the early hetfield. Awesome job!
You can't have a Metallica song without the customary "Yeah". That verse riff was fire.
Not if it’s a Master of Puppets track.
He did at 3:51
It actually just Ride Lightning verse riff faster with gallooping. you could even sing "guilty as charged.." and so on
“Ooooooohhhhh.” -James Hetfield
Good job. But to me St. Anger is a mindset that you don't need to fix. It's perfect as is.

St. [b]Anger*
At.Snger!

lol 😂 ST. Anger Lars proves how much he sucks on drums
@@jessetate9701Don’t be stupid.
People say Nickelback sucks because all their songs sound the same and then they "fix St. Anger" to sound like a typical Metallica album
I honestly have no problems with nickelback they have some kickass songs.
I ain't gonna lie, I appreciate originality more than pretty much anything
But St. Anger just ain't it

If the whole album sounded like this it would be much better, good job.
Dude killed it on vocals!
In case you didn't already know! www.youtube.com/@moonicproductions
But not in the way you meant. It’s pretty bad.
I think the actual fix it needed is... Well, the songs being too long, and what I mean by long, is the feeling. Some songs felt like they never end
This. Most of the tracks would be twice as good if they where half as long.
Except All within my hands. That should be removed completely.

This sounds like it belongs on Death Magnetic. Loved it
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. Shoulda shelved this song and brought it out in 08.
Anything after I disappear was terrible
@@jermalshemism3367 I like "Spit Out The Bone" and "Too Far Gone".

Nah nah nah nah nah nah!!
Love this version so much \m/ great job dudes!
I've never been able to finish a song from that album, i got to the end of this and enjoyed it. Well done👍
You really nailed that solo. It sounded perfectly natural and the tuning change gives the song a whole new complexion! 🤘
Fixing drums itself is already great upgrade.
You did a great job, now it sounds verry good!
Fun fact for those that don't know, the album has multiple tunings. Most common is Drop-C but there are a couple in Drop-A# and only one in Drop-G
The opposite of a drop, would that be called a lift? Like lift F, for instance?
It is like this: All Drop C except Drop G# on Invisible Kid, Drop A# on The Unnamed Feelings and Drop C# on Dirty widow
Make this a thing @@mrc25381
The best tuning is Drop Sh.
That was… wild. Way better than I’d hoped, and I actually love the original. Well done!
Really? The original is a horrible song I’d be glad to never hear again

St. Anger sounds the way it was supposed to sound.
Honestly if St Anger sounded like this, I probably would have liked it
Great job, and massive shout for Otu, what a legend he is!
Sounds great. And thank you for fixing the snare.
If you wanna hear how St. Anger sounded, watch the DVD that came with the CD.
So true
i agree that performance on the dvd shouldve been the album
Correct
YUP. That live performance at HQ should have been what was on the CD as well. Sooooooo good.
Right. This Version so much better.
This was WAYYY more faithful to the classic Metallica sound than that whole album was haha. I dropped off of Metallica after St Anger, but if it sounded like this, I might have stuck around! Great work!

There was a guy who remastered that whole album.
Daryl Gardner
There is also Todd Barriage who made a EP with 4 songs, and I must say, they are slapping hard. Have a look
there is also a rerecording
Two guys)
But didn't realise it beyond UA-cam ((
I find that remaster worse
Everybody talks about the snare or the lack of guitar solos of that album, but the real problem with the St. Anger is, the songs are too long, if they where between 3 to 4 minutes no one would have complained, it's just that they are too monotonous to last more than 6 minutes.
Listen to the St. [b]Anger version, he shortened the songs and even added some neat soloing.
Cheers from France! 🍻
@@DarthWinterMadness Yeah, I have listened that and is far better, also Pete did a great job in his video.
From watching Some Kind of Monster I think this album was doomed from the start. They just weren’t in the right mindset, there was too much meddling (at some point their psychiatrist was even giving input ffs), Jason was gone and Bob Rock did a terrible job as a producer.
Pete the majority of us need the album entirely fixed. Awesome job dude🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤣🤣🤣
Don't care about the rest but that snare was HIDEOUS.
Have you ever thought of doing popular metal songs in the style and production of St Anger?
Hahaha, I have but, do people really want that? Maybe I should try it sometime :)
@@peteplaysmusic despite not liking St. Anger, I'd like to see some stuff from Black Album, a piece praised by the high level of music engineering, in this style (WITH THAT SNARE)

Love the colab with Otu!
Holy fuck... I imagine how I would have teared down the walls of my room back in 2003 if this had been the original opener of the new Metallica-release. Great work!
I like how you went from drop C to standard tuning and killed it. It sounds heavy and mean. Lovely stuff and nice guitar.
That guy from Moonic channel is absolutely incredible, I love his content and he's so fun to watch. You both did a great job here man you're a freaking tight player, awesome !!
This arrangement actually made the lyrics more palpable as well
O.M.G! This finally sounds as it always should!!! You guys nailed it, yeaaaaahhhh!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
I think we could say "The thing that should have been" ? 😋
Pure Banger 🤘🤩🤘 Thanx a lot Pete & Otu !
The thing that should’ve been…EPIC!!! 😅😂
Nice work, liked the vocals too!
That was vastly superior in my opinion. If Metallica is struggling with a song they should start going to you for aid.
Yes guys 👊🏼👊🏼 This colab was brilliant. Please do more. & a great reimagining of this song.
St. Anger is one of my favorite albums ever for my own reasons. But I love hearing everyone's different takes on what it would sound like it if sounded... better

🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
Good thing you got rid of the searching, they did enough of that on Seek & Destroy.

Sounds more like Anthrax 3:39
Yep,St.Anthrax it is.

That guitar sounds badass!
and guitar snobs say affordable guitars are just firewood.....
Looks amazing too.
Keep searching part was amazing
All the reasons people hate it is why I loved it so much. It's different, raw sound, no useless solos and snare is great.
Very very well done! I stumbled across this video by happenstance - but you're crushing it!
3:03 the only listenable part of the song
Agree. This is a horrible rendition.
Agree 100%
and it's just the damage inc verse riff with a slightly different picking pattern
Much better, thanks! My St Anger CD got thrown out of my car somewhere in a mid Swedish forest road, some 13 years ago.
Mine also got thrown out of my car window.
I also completely forgot I had bought it. Still I am not sure.
I bought a jeep that ended up having this in the cd player... I chucked it out the window after giving the whole album a playthrough. No regrets.
