I would like to request If Motörhead Wrote Learn To Fly. I can’t really imagine that the melody would change that much, but I’m certain it would sound amazing.
Definitely need a Metallica version of Sharp dressed man. I can just hear James Hetfield singing "Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man "YEAH!!!"
This is an amazing example of just how much DNA the blues, rock, and metal share. I was expecting Seek and Destroy to be especially good in ZZ's style, and you did not dissapoint. Great job guys. 👍👍
I guess this will get lost in the sea of compliments, but I really appreciate the vision and creativity and work it took to produce this. It's a fantastic album.
now that I’m in my 50’s my music tastes are changing.. blues, rock, southern rock and old country have taken the lead over metal and thrash - this was really lots of fun to listen to, thanks for all the hard work and sharing your kick ass skills
I'm 37 and neutral to both. Twenty years from now I can see this as my go 2 album to relieve my anxiety and let go of whatever shit I go through by then.
I'm a lifelong ZZ Top fan and a drummer for more than 30 years... I think Frank Beard is underrated!! Who played the drums for this?? They did a great job of capturing Frank's style!! 👏👏👏
ZZ Top are massively underrated, every album is full of great songs, and their "hits" are completely unrepresentative of their range. And you don't get any of that without a rock solid drummer.
Amazing Bro! Growing up ZZ Top was my Dad and Uncles favorite band and Metallica was mine. This combined them both and I was blown away!!! Thank you!!!
From twisted mind comes great music and art, someone thought of it and others thought they were crazy. And now we get to enjoy different interpretations of greatness
This is amazing. To do a song like this is one thing but to completely commit to doing the entire album is a whole other level of commitment. It's Great. You (guys?) are crazy as hell.
Ever just scroll through UA-cam and stumble onto a random video that ends up being even better than you hoped it would be? This is one of those videos.
Phenomenal and I’ll be honest with you the engineering and mix sounds great. Cliff Burton would be absolutely pleased with the amount of bass that’s being put into each one of these songs volumize beautiful.
Holy Shit. The ONLY thing that could make this completely perfect is if Dusty and Cliff were physically here to play also. Denis you never fail. Thank you for keeping memories alive and kicking ass constantly 🤘🤘🤘
The funny thing is that Dusty and Cliff were like completely opposite in their playing styles. It wpuld be cool to hear what Cliff would play on a couple ZZ Top songs.
This has such an underrated toughness to it. Letting the beats slowed down, gives more oomph to those riffs. This is such a great idea. What if ZZ Top covered these epic metal albums? This is some real wild west shit. Great job.
Wonderful that you did the whole album! Absolutely crazy amount of talent to pull it off and blend the styles so well together. It kinda proves how much blues there is in heavy metal. Metallica needs to react to this! 🤘🏼
Incredible... You nailed it again. ZZtop I am sure would approve, as their sound will carry on for decades with this excellent recreation of their legendary sound. Thanks Brother
Words cannot truly express my enjoyment of this video. As a lifelong fan of ZZ Top . . and I confess not that much of a Metallica fan, but there are a few songs of theirs that I do love heaps . . I always unconsciously put my own stamp on everything I perform live at my gigs as a covers act playing Blues-Rock classics with backing tracks providing bass and drums etc while I play live lead and rhythm guitar and sing in my gravelly voice. I've been told that I sound like a one-man ZZ Top. I've had the whole Marshall JMP-1 thing happening for the past 25 years, and was really happy to read somewhere that Billy Gibbons had taken to using it in his live and studio rigs as well. And of course I gotta compliment you on your vocals. You have both Billy and Dusty's vocals down pat. No mean feat!! You really do have that authentic ZZ Top sound, right to the last squealer. I just liked and subscribed so I can find your material again. Thank you so much for providing this for free on UA-cam. There have been other tribute albums dedicated to both Metallica and ZZ Top over the years, like Sharp Dressed Men for example, but nothing that made my hair stand up straight like this album does.
I just wanted to say, this is amazing. It runs the gauntlet between utterly ridiculous, to just madcap genius and you've done both bands proud. This is so good. I love it. Anesthesia was a real turning point for me. Wonderful. And it's great you got it on streaming. I've now "loved" you on Qobuz and added your music to my library, thank you.
ZZ Top is my favorite style of yours, because it was always a dream of mine to hear rock versions of metal songs. I was worried that you wouldn't do it again - so hearing the entire "Kill 'Em All" album rock'd-up is a great surprise!!
ZZ Top might have called it “Kill Y’all”. Cliff Burton loved ZZ Top so I know he would have really enjoyed this. I’d love to hear you do Reign In Blood ZZ Top style!
I used to like Metallica. In later years I grew to love ZZ Top. This is just brilliant, I never liked this record but played like this it slaps. Salute!
Oh shit, I'm impressed❗ No, really I'm totally speechless❗🙊 Wow, you guys are good, you really did justice to "Kill 'em all" ZZ Top style, thumbs up 👍😀
Wow, really really good! Some of the best ZZ Top riffs they never wrote… curious how a metallicafied La Grange would sound… thanks, enjoyed it a lot, greetings from Germany 👍🤘
Wow, great job! One of the best things I've seen on the internet in a while. You technically wrote an album and just used their lyrics, lol. Nice job bro
This shits going on my play list right now. This is f'n killer! Seriously, I would buy that cd. Four Horsemen and Seek& Destroy are awesome and the way y'all did Anesthesia would make Cliff proud.
Amazing stuff, dude you are insanely talented. This is so inspiring so someone who is looking to write riffs and songs. Just to see how you are using the influences. Heres a couple of Ideas for future videos - 1. If Led Zeppelin wrote 10,000 days (Tool) 2. If Jimi Hendrix wrote Rockferry (Duffy) 3. If Fleetwood Mac wrote Images and Words (Dream Theatre)
This is just straight-up awesome!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Like an unreleased ZZ Top album. I'm definitely gonna jam out to this while I'm driving. Very well done! 👏🏻👏🏻 You captured the classic ZZ sound perfectly, and your vocals are spot on Billy and Dusty.
Man, this is great. Most of your videos are good, but you out did yourself on this one. Hopefully you will do some more ZZ Top wrote videos or a whole series.
Only on The Four Horsemen now and its awesome! I can't help but think The Mechanix would have been even more appropriate for a ZZ Top cover, considering the lyrics! Keep up the kickass work, brother!
Guys this is two thumbs up for not only coming up with the concept, but being good enough to execute your vision to perfection! Seriously great job! Two thumbs up, and a couple devil horns as well!
Que bien suena!!! Gracias por este mix. Muy buena combinación refrescando la esencia de ambas bandas, gran tributo. Me gustaría mucho escuchar algo de ZZTOP por Metallica.

You left out: "Blitzkrieg" and "Am I evil".
@@PeterSTIHL Those were on a special edition re-release.
I think you need a bigger challenge. The band Lovebites ZZ Top style would be something.
As a fan of both Metallica and ZZ Top, this is incredible
For real. I thought I'd click off the video after a minute but I got drawn in and listened to the while damn thing. 😅
Yeah!!! ❤
Agreed! A bit of “Sheik” in “Hit The Lights”!? I love it!
I agree !

@@DenisPaunaThank you for the info! Amazing job btw!! Cliff, who was a huge ZZ Top fan, would have _loved_ this
@Purpleskyshorizon He also was a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan.
Awesome I need this
@@perpetualbystander4516 another mashup??
Definitely need a Metallica version of Sharp dressed man. I can just hear James Hetfield singing "Cause every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man "YEAH!!!"
or a Motörhead version ;)
Moronic productions might do something like that
YEAH! I love it :)
Chrome Division recorded a pretty good version IMO
What about if Death wrote Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar display of power, Far Beyond driven, The great souther trendkill?
I would love to sit at a bar counter, low light, drinking a good bourbon, or a beer, relaxing and listening to this whole set live.
Completely, i thought the same, this would be a new level of tribute bands, a "Mix Tribute Band" or something like that.
I got some tickets for you!
A-HAH-HAH-hah...with some nice gals
@@dallesamllhals9161 I'm married. Better take her with me hahaha. I leave the pretty girls to you ;)
@@sidnei-siqueira La Grange = Only for singles? i did not know that 😛 Harh-Harh-harh...
This makes me wonder what the members of both bands would think of this
Cliff Burton & Dusty Hill are jamming along up in heaven
I think they'd both love it!
Metallica trying to make more money.
Indeed...
@SarahSchoonover grow up with that whole sell out bs.
Both bands need to hear this. This is awesome! RIP Cliff and Dusty!!!
This sounds way better than it has any right to.....Wow! Great job guys!
'Guy', right? It's just one dude, it seems.
@@bidipboyeah, that’s what I thought. Looks like it to me
Excellent ; that "Seek and destroy" version is killer.... Next step : "Reign in blood" 🙂
definitely my fav out of all of them. envisioning billy and dusty actually doing this version. live and music vid to go with......
Right? I love the ZZ style Seek and Destroy riff!
Awesome! And now, what if Metallica wrote "Eliminator"? I can't wait to hear it.
I'm sure Denis can do it!
Every girls crazy bouta sharped dress mayaaaaaaaaaayhaaan...yeaaaaaa aaaahhh
@@careful...Icarus xD
@acecourage1487 That is the best ZZ Top song ever. Would be epic to do it Reload Style.
This is why you ask an old guy (they know wassup.)
This is an amazing example of just how much DNA the blues, rock, and metal share. I was expecting Seek and Destroy to be especially good in ZZ's style, and you did not dissapoint. Great job guys. 👍👍
I guess this will get lost in the sea of compliments, but I really appreciate the vision and creativity and work it took to produce this. It's a fantastic album.
Both ZZ and Metallica have played a huge part in my guitar playing so I absolutely fucking love this, this is brilliant
now that I’m in my 50’s my music tastes are changing.. blues, rock, southern rock and old country have taken the lead over metal and thrash - this was really lots of fun to listen to, thanks for all the hard work and sharing your kick ass skills
Same❤
I'm 37 and neutral to both. Twenty years from now I can see this as my go 2 album to relieve my anxiety and let go of whatever shit I go through by then.
Never...50's here, thrash, progressive, speed metal all the way.. lol
I'm a lifelong ZZ Top fan and a drummer for more than 30 years... I think Frank Beard is underrated!! Who played the drums for this?? They did a great job of capturing Frank's style!! 👏👏👏
I agree!! Everything in your comment, totally agree.
ZZ Top are massively underrated, every album is full of great songs, and their "hits" are completely unrepresentative of their range.
And you don't get any of that without a rock solid drummer.
You're right!! I'm drummmmming for 50 years and Frank Beard belongs to the finest rrrrrock-drummers of all time.
Drums are likely programmed.
As a long time ZZ Top & Metallica fan, I can tell you that you nailed this brother! Love all the little nods to many ZZ Top classics within these!
What about if Death wrote Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar display of power, Far Beyond driven, The great souther trendkill?
Amazing Bro! Growing up ZZ Top was my Dad and Uncles favorite band and Metallica was mine. This combined them both and I was blown away!!! Thank you!!!
That arrangement for Seek & Destroy makes it one of my favourite covers of that song ever.... you've outdone yourself with these songs. Amazing!
reminds me a bit of beer drinkers an hellraisers.. in 1.5x speed. 😄
Yeah first to check out,
went straight for Seek and Destroy
Great version 👌🏼
Suits very well
it just screams ZZ-TOP
I’d honestly pay for this cover album, one of my 2 fave bands mashed together. This is really good man!
I would too!! #shutupandtakemymoney
Dude you have a beautifully twisted mind. This is killer!❤
From twisted mind comes great music and art, someone thought of it and others thought they were crazy. And now we get to enjoy different interpretations of greatness
Denis - Just discovered this. It's beyond incredible. Great job mate!
My God! Speeches, goosebumps, stunned! Criminally underrated. Metal master title unlocked 🤘Mr. Denis deserves a statue in the Metal Hall of Fame
you aint shitting..this dude can kill it..
funfundffun og så en aalborgtuborg.
Your work will not go unnoticed. Great stuff if i wanna revisit these classic but with a different touch on em then i know where to go.
Huge thanks!
Absolutly outstanding man. The effort you’ve put into this is on a whole different level. The mix is spot on and the delivery is perfect. ⚡️🤘🏻
My maaan, huge thanks for such a support! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
You Killed it Dennis Wish I Could Do Something like This Been Playing 48 YRS. Original Nuclear Assault Guitarist
The biggest takeaway from projects like this should be that a good song is a good song regardless of how it's presented.
That Seek and Destroy is my Favorite what a killer version!! Keep up the Amazing work ❤
This is amazing. To do a song like this is one thing but to completely commit to doing the entire album is a whole other level of commitment. It's Great. You (guys?) are crazy as hell.
Holy cow... now that was a HUGE video to put together, stunning job man!
Thank you so much man! It took me some time, but it was worth it! 🤘🏻😁
Finally, 45mins on UA-cam that's not a waste of time. Thanks for this. 🔥
LOL
Ever just scroll through UA-cam and stumble onto a random video that ends up being even better than you hoped it would be? This is one of those videos.
One second into the first guitar lick and I already knew: I'm gonna love this.
Yup
the title was enough fer me haha
*Proof that arrangement and producer / production is everything.* You can make most any song metal, punk, or ZZ Top blues rock.
Phenomenal and I’ll be honest with you the engineering and mix sounds great. Cliff Burton would be absolutely pleased with the amount of bass that’s being put into each one of these songs volumize beautiful.
You guys are beyond amazing! This is an absolute work of art!!!! Not sure Billy Gibbions could have done any better!!!!
I can definitely hear James Hatfield singing under pressure from ZZ Top. Man you just got to do it..
This is an amazing work! They are covers but in this style it's like a completely new album. Great! Outstanding!
Right? I'd love to see a band hit the stage and play THIS. It would blow the roof off the joint! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Holy Shit. The ONLY thing that could make this completely perfect is if Dusty and Cliff were physically here to play also. Denis you never fail. Thank you for keeping memories alive and kicking ass constantly 🤘🤘🤘
The funny thing is that Dusty and Cliff were like completely opposite in their playing styles. It wpuld be cool to hear what Cliff would play on a couple ZZ Top songs.
This has such an underrated toughness to it. Letting the beats slowed down, gives more oomph to those riffs. This is such a great idea. What if ZZ Top covered these epic metal albums? This is some real wild west shit. Great job.
I totally agree!! All these songs translated perfectly into ZZ Top songs! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Jesus man....did you just have a month to kill off or something? F'n great stuff!
He had a month to Kill ‘Em All…
Wonderful that you did the whole album! Absolutely crazy amount of talent to pull it off and blend the styles so well together. It kinda proves how much blues there is in heavy metal. Metallica needs to react to this! 🤘🏼
Words just can’t explain how damn good this was my friend. Extravagant!! 🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
DUDE! only one song in and this is amazing... Hit the Lights sounds like a true ZZ Top classic.
Fantastic! I hope that either ZZ Top or Metallica see this.
That amazing and unmistakable "nobody but ZZ Top" bass line anchors every cut, just as did Dusty's. RIP, Bro...
Incredible... You nailed it again. ZZtop I am sure would approve, as their sound will carry on for decades with this excellent recreation of their legendary sound. Thanks Brother
Jump in the Fire was my favorite from this album, you nailed it! excellent! BtW looking forward to more Type O Negative style covers 🔥🔥🔥
sees link. wtf this looks awesome. clicks link. gets totally astounded and blown away. day has been made
Oh my Gooood you actually did it! I loved the version of Seek & Destroy so much, now this is just beyond awesome. Rock on, Denis 🤘

Please, please make this a CD! Even if I have to buy it directly from you. I want this in my car! Rock it, brother! 🤘
if you get yourself a cd burner you can easily download the whole video, chop it in any free audio software and DIY
That's a whole bucket of licensing fees nobody in their right mind would want to deal with
@locatolaka yep that's exactly what I'm gonna do.
This is brilliant. I wish ZZ Top wrote every album instead of Metallica. I love the way you recreated this pre-Eliminator ZZ Top sound.
Hell yeah! I'm downloading this and putting on my iPhone. I got all the good Metallica records on there, so definitely need to add this. Great job!
Absolute masterpiece. Can’t wait to show my dad this
I was jus thinkn the same thing 😂
Great work as usual, Denis. What a world we live in.

it's insane how good this is
Awesome job understanding both musical styles and creating this. Fantastic results!
Damn! Wow this is amazing. Great takes on the songs. I’d buy this album so refreshing 🤘🏻
ZZ Top might have called it “Kill Y’all”.
Cliff Burton loved ZZ Top so I know he would have really enjoyed this.
I’d love to hear you do Reign In Blood ZZ Top style!
Can really appreciate all the time, effort and love put into this. Simply incredible. You absolutely NAILED it. Love, love, love it!
This is a very strong album. Incredibly impressive.
I used to like Metallica. In later years I grew to love ZZ Top. This is just brilliant, I never liked this record but played like this it slaps. Salute!
Dude, kill em all is my favorite Metallica album and ZZ top is one of my favorite bands... 😂 Thanks 🔥
The range of this guys musical talent is crazy!!
This is fucking TITZ!!!!! This is Sounds of “Southern Metal!!” The world NEEDS more of this!!!!
Oh shit, I'm impressed❗
No, really I'm totally speechless❗🙊

Wow, really really good! Some of the best ZZ Top riffs they never wrote… curious how a metallicafied La Grange would sound… thanks, enjoyed it a lot, greetings from Germany 👍🤘
This is a freaking cultural milestone man! Great Job!!!!
Very cool and bluesy, made me smile listening to it. You guys did a great job with this....
Excellent Denis!💯 Seek & Destroy is definitely my favorite!👍
🔥🎸🔥
I would pay money for this album
Holy hell you mad lad! This is bonkers 😂 well done!
Huge thanks man! 🤘🏻😁
@@DenisPauna What about if Death wrote Cowboys From Hell/Vulgar display of power, Far Beyond driven, The great souther trendkill?
PLEASE DO IT!!
Incredible man, great job, great surprise, was not expecting somerhing this good when I saw the thumbnail and clicked!
This is a masterpiece. One of the greatest pieces of entertainment to come out of 2023. ❤️
Jump In the Fire is straight FIRE! Amazing stuff
Wow, great job! One of the best things I've seen on the internet in a while. You technically wrote an album and just used their lyrics, lol. Nice job bro
This shits going on my play list right now. This is f'n killer! Seriously, I would buy that cd. Four Horsemen and Seek& Destroy are awesome and the way y'all did Anesthesia would make Cliff proud.
Typed that before I heard Metal Militia.... add that one to the F**K
YEAH list 🤘😝
Loving what you did with Motorbreath, such a deep groove
This is fucking great, but now that I've heard it I think Dusty would have sang Seek and Destroy
I’ve always said ZZTop was an unheralded and integral influence to all metal music
Amazing stuff, dude you are insanely talented. This is so inspiring so someone who is looking to write riffs and songs. Just to see how you are using the influences. Heres a couple of Ideas for future videos -
1. If Led Zeppelin wrote 10,000 days (Tool)
2. If Jimi Hendrix wrote Rockferry (Duffy)
3. If Fleetwood Mac wrote Images and Words (Dream Theatre)
Im not even a fan of ZZ top, but I just listened to the entirety of this, and im in awe!
I'm not a Metallica fan and I listened too. Now I am
I think Cliff and Dusty would dig it.
This is a gift to humanity if you ask me
What an awesome job you did! Super fun listen through! Any way you can now do Top em All with “Am I Evil” and “Blitzkrieg”?
The arrangements are amazing! Impressive job! 🎉
This is just straight-up awesome!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 Like an unreleased ZZ Top album. I'm definitely gonna jam out to this while I'm driving. Very well done! 👏🏻👏🏻 You captured the classic ZZ sound perfectly, and your vocals are spot on Billy and Dusty.
This puts a smile on my face! Well done!!!
Это гениально! Очень люблю обе группы! Конечно оригинал Kill em All эта версия не превзойдет, но это тоже очень здорово и приятно.
Man, this is great. Most of your videos are good, but you out did yourself on this one. Hopefully you will do some more ZZ Top wrote videos or a whole series.
Only on The Four Horsemen now and its awesome! I can't help but think The Mechanix would have been even more appropriate for a ZZ Top cover, considering the lyrics! Keep up the kickass work, brother!
Love this. Great mash of both bands.. Nicely done!
Just like a certain three piece band from Texas I'll keep this short n sweet...
