its actually not that hard to sing and play it at the same time, try it and you'll be surprised with how well you do. I think its cause some of the words land of chord hits in the riff.
@@caretheis6779 Funny how these clowns couldn't even do the entire song. I would love to see them due entire Metallica set, typical 2hrs that Metallica is on stage.
RR is indeed an amazing band. Their performances never stop amazing me. And now just listen this cover. I may expect other bands' songs (there you have the "Thunderstruck" rendition in the middle of "Tommy gun"), even some from Metallica, but "Battery"?. That rocked! :)
Wtf 😂😂😂 id expect them to play some jazz but not metallica...and I didnt expect that the rest of the band would follow him after the he played the riff either 😂😂
@@Epicusername0412 i know...Lars is sloppy,but a fucking creative mind on metal kid And here he is way better than this guy at all ua-cam.com/video/Y5hFyPNSEN8/v-deo.html
The Battery riff was spot on! Impressed.
Battery ain't no joke played correctly! Impressive.
As a guitar player my challenge to folks who knock Metallica over the years is always “play Battery; then you can rip on em”
0:33 the drummer is having the time of his life
He's like "THIS IS WHY I BECAME A DRUMMER!!!!!"
He even did the Lars move at 1:24 😂
That's not an easy Riff to play, let alone singing it at the same time. Good job, boys.
Man, I pride myself for being able to sing and play that thing.
Then I listened to the recording. :D Dayaaaamn...

i would have expected a Franz Ferdinand cover, but never Metallica lol they really did a great job!! the vocals are so nice
Dude sang battery like James from Woodstock 99. Hell yeah
Yeah no offense that was way better than they’ve sung it in a while lol that guys got some pipes.
@tommorris2771 25 years younger does that lol.
What a difference a good drummer makes.🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
What a fun band!
Love the compliment of the other bands watching them and enjoying it in the background! Love these guys!
Holy shit the Butlins redcoats have really raised their game this year 😂
Killed fucking battery just wow. This is literally the closest cover to metallica live
better than metallica

This is some tight shit!
What a fucking amazing band Royal Republic are! They can play and sing everything.

I am getting a Ron Burgundy vibe from the singer. What a crossover. Well done. Battery is such an amazing song.
Yeah lmao
proof you can do metal with 335 and a telecaster
So epic!!!! Skill trumps gear every time.
who said you can't?
It's an Epiphone Casino
Casino but close enough!
@@mattjns why wont you it has the same pickups as a lespaul
Awesome cover!
Wasn't expecting that.
Well done.
Conor McGregor is killing it on the bass rofl
And Trevor from GTA V on vocals
@@douglasmartins4688 rob burgundy
LOL!
never heard of these guys but this seemed awesome
What the actual fuck. Best thing I've for ages.
Those drums are tuned perfectly!
great perfomance! the vocal is so nice)
Holy Frikin Shit! Hold my Hetfield, i gotta see and hear this
WOW !!! These guys are the new AC/DC !! Glad I stumbled on this talented band !! I predict a bright future for four super musicians.
dude is playing metallica on hollow body and it sounds epic - now i wanna see somebody play a jazz gig with flying v
Heh, will probably end up being the same guys!
They must've killed as a covers band. This video is fucking gold. Thanks for uploading!
COB! Rip Alexi
Awesome job 🤘😎🤘 I got this band on my shorts suggestion and got hooked!
Cliff the memory remains.
Few people understand how exact the cover is. The drummer even mimics Lars’ weird ass fisting thing at the end of the song
I would argue that anyone with ears understands how exact the cover is mate
Hey whatever works and you got to love it when things make sense.
What a nice surprise!
Awesome cover,,,🔥💥💯😎
This is awesome
them guys rock 🤟
metallica needs to hire that drummer 🤘🏻🤘🏻
That was sick
Yoooo these guys kick ass man!!
Great performance!!!
За мен тези юнаци бяха откритието на фестивала :)
Same energy as 1985-1989 Metallica. So good.
amazing cover hats off to them
This band is so fkn good! 🤘😎🤘
Metallica needs to hire this whole band
Metallica needs to turn over their entire music library to this band and just quit 😂
@@douglasgadesi8201😂😂😂
imagine metallica were playing battey at the same time but somwhere else
Holy crap!!!! Wow
Oh mon dieu, that was nice
Bad ass...
FUCKING BAD ASS!!!! LOVE ROYAL REPUBLIC!
👍🤘🤘🤘Awesome
Like the "Have a great f''''''''........Sunday" and realizing the wrongness of it all at that very moment. Hahahah.
Rrraaaarrrrggghhaaaaahhhyyyaaaaaahh. Fuck yeah.
Don’t who these guys are but I was interested in hearing their cover of Battery and then they give a shout out to my fuckin heros COB.
WTF this suits didnt fit this song at all btw. great cover WOW
His guitar didn’t either
He has a hollow body and he’s playing Metallica 😂😂😂
Dude who gives a fuck about the clothes. They knocked it out of the park.
@@elicooper660 His tone definitely did though

Do you Gents do weddings?
Shit gets down.
👍
They are fucking nice wtf hope they will have a great career
When I read "Tommy Gun" in the title I was hoping for The Clash
Conner is great on the bass
Men this handsome should be playing lounge music and not metal. But they are so damned good that they pull it off.
Hell yea brother, this was tight as fuck
Ron Burgundy rocks!
Dude. Metallica just found their match and they played it like the puppets tour
miss Alexi
didn't know connor mcgregor plays da bass
Hahahahahahahaha!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Thrash on an Epiphone Casino is fun haha
A James no supera nadie
Lars called and said he wants his drums back...
Wtf 😂😂😂 id expect them to play some jazz but not metallica...and I didnt expect that the rest of the band would follow him after the he played the riff either 😂😂
Better than song owners actually playing it
The new Metallica is here. And they are Sirs 😂
Drumming here is better than Ulrich's
No way,even close to versions like Seattle 89
Get a clue dude
Yeah, no... Ulrich is still the worst thrash metal drummer out there... one coked up performance 30 years ago ain't enough to say otherwise
@@Epicusername0412 i know...Lars is sloppy,but a fucking creative mind on metal kid

WTF XD
NICEE NICE NICE
You would say they are waiters but then they go BATTERRRRYYY
Lars mad af right now
These guys are playing Metallica songs better then Metallica...
im starting to think they choose the wrong genre
They're not playing the main riff quite right, but this still sounds pretty solid.
Fucking amazing. Sounds better than Metallica.
Better than Lars! As usual...
Lars sues them lol
Much better drummer than Lars
The drummer os out of time, and by that I mean hes in perfect time, which is odd to hear.
playing metal on a hollow body bruh
Chug is Chug, wether it's coming from a 2000 dollar custom Shop guitar or a 50 dollar harley benton.
@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 you are right, i just pointed out how unusual that is
@@slane9393 Yeah i get that, i'm just not surpised since p90's and good intonation are pretty much perfect for metal.
One Republic🤣
Way better than Metallica can play it. 😂
You can't say you play it better than Metallica because you can't even do the solo😅
But they can play it in time. That alone makes them better than Metallica
Now go listen to Metallica play it live and it’s just so flat haha
My band is better
Drummimg like Lars from 93. Not as good as Justice era, but close, and with a smaller kit.
Metallica with midrange
Great musicians I'll definitely have to check them out... Metallica is a great way to get peoples foot in the door anyways I can't hate that.
