Imagine being a punk cool kid who's starting to succeed in music and you are on a gig, you play this really popular riff you heard from an awesome metal band and then 20 years later that awesome metal band play one of your songs riffs. I'd be honored man, love and respect for both epic bands
Metallica replaced Green day at a festival when Billie Joe went to rehab, and Hetfield was showing support to BJA's sobriety attempt with a Green Day song... and as a fan of both Green Day and Metallica, i LOVED seeing/hearing this...
This opens a doorway of awesome ,, Metallica has been known to record Covers before ,and greenday did a ton of covers before they got discovered, possibly if they are on tour together ,Billy may do the full "Puppets" song ,when Metallica is up afterwards James might show the crowds the true extent he fully knows of "American Idiot"verses and all ,with Kirk on backup vocals ,,then both bands may stuff these covers hidden in their next Albums ,,that would be a taste of metal-heaven,,,,👍
AFAIK Metallica didnt replace Green Day actually, from what I've been told they were scheduled to go on after Green Day's set was done. I could be wrong on that tho as I sadly haven't had the chance to see either band live... but I do know the part about Hetfield trying to show support for BJA is accurate
Most of what I'm seeing here is Metallica fans hating on Green Day and Green Day fans hating on Metallica. I think both bands are awesome. They are my favorite bands ever. U don't have to enjoy both bands but the least u can do is stop hating on them.
z ⸒ "Better" doesn't mean anything in music. Just because Metallica's stuff is more complex it doesn't make it "better" music. And they make very different music so I don't think you can compare.
maybe he's not bad. But we don't know it, his repertoire definitely limits what we can get from him. I don't say that's bad. Let there be punk too. I listen to both bands
he is a great guitarist no doubt such clean notes come from a lot of practising check out his solos in the trilogy, kerplunk, or 1039 slappy hours album they are so cool you will know that he can also shred and solo, even steve vai agrees to it
@@shawnisawesome6495 what does better even mean? Faster? More technical? More creative? It's just too vague. He's by far not the best player in the world, but does he make it look cool AF? Yes he does.
Look up metallica's acoustic cover of Diary of a Madman and you'll want to scream at Lars through your phone/computer Edit: I take that back, the whole cover is shit
LSweet2007 well, I'm not questioning james' ability to play guitar, but, he did mess up the riff pretty badly. But that's probably just because he's not very familiar with the song.
To be fair, Billie has been playing that riff live for, I don't know, 20 years or thereabouts? I doubt Metallica even practiced before playing this bit.
Green Day: *Plays Master Of Puppets exactly as it was written* Most of Metallica: *Has maybe heard American Idiot on the radio one time, butcher it* Rob: *Casually plays the hardest Green Day bass solo*
Supper true, Billie is "restricted" by his genre and i don't mean it in a disrispectful way towards pop punk, it's just how it is. I know he's a great guitarist and the whole world knows, the fact that he writes such good songs with very simple power chords riffs and progression shows that. You don't have to be Eddie Van Halen, everyone expresses themselves differently, that's the whole purpose of music..i think..
and that's what's punk is all about. many punk musicians are really really good guitar players but just can't show it in their music. Like Billy corgan a grunge musician doesn't play kick ass riffs and solos on his music but in reality he can shred the guitar like a bitch.
@@cracktalestuff1176 thank you, I've heard plenty of people say stuff like "punks can't really play guitar, that's why they play punk", but in reality they just want to play punk music. I'm a punk, but I'm probably going to end up being in an alt metal or hard rock band, so not every punk has to restrict their skills and music tastes to only punk.
Clearly I'm aware of that. Lots of punk drummers will play just as fast with no double bass. Check out Dave Raun from Lagwagon/Me First and the Gimme Gimmes and Eric Sandin/NOFX. Even Travis/Blink 182. Those guys could all get very close to the speed of the double without one.
I think you have to be dumb to not admit that Tre is a way better drummer than Lars regardless of genre, but with that said Lars isn't necessarily a bad drummer either.
Didn't know Blink 182 was punk. Also you don't know what the fuck your talking about. Double kick not only gives you more options when it comes to speed, but many more possibilities when it comes to kick beats. Metallica isn't very fast anyways.
I love how Billie plays the Master of Puppets riff with only downstrokes. They way it should be lmao edit: cant believe it took 2 months for a hate comment on this lol actually impressed
My favorite band (Green Day) playing a song by my dad's favorite band (Metallica) and my dad's favorite band playing a song by my favorite band? That's soooooo fucking cool! 🤟🤟🤟
When I was a teenager in high school, the punk kids and the metal-heads generally did not like each other. But I always felt there was a lot of overlap between punk and metal music. I think the differences were mostly in the attitude, fashion and hair styles.
Great! I've been a Metallica fan for over 30 years but Green Day also kick ass. I don't care if they're popular or not. Been listening to Green Day way before Dookie was the thing. Thanx for sharing!
so when I was in elementary school my brother bought me the American Idiot album. and I have thanked every single day since then. they were Gods to me then
Can't imagine how Billie Joe Armstrong feels about Metallica covering their song. It's one thing when a newer artist covers an older band, but to have an older perform your song must feel inspiring. Sort of like a nod to your achievement
Same age difference between Motorhead and Metallica, but it was still a big deal when Motorhead covered Whiplash. Plus, James is nearly 10 years older than Billie, which is a significant age difference
I'm pretty sure that's not the kind of shit he listens to anyway so he had to improvise, it's not like Lars jams out to green day in his fucking boxers on his Tama kit at his house
Luis Armstrong No puede hacerlo...porque me parece que no le sale porque billie tiene voz de adolescente y él una voz que no se compara pobres.....(Por cierto me llegó al corazón este vídeo que hermoso detalle de ambos♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥*Muere de ternura*
Love me some Metallica. I really do but this confirms it: Green Day has a better drummer than a metal band! Tre Cool is better than Metallica's drummer! Like far and beyond.
I never understood why people were so critical of Lars' drumming until I saw this video. The awkward moment when a METAL drummer can't play a PUNK song properly! 😂
James hetfield up stroking? Impossible
Well, is not Dream theather you know
WHAT SORCERY IS THIS????
*Conserving Energy - 100*
thats exactly what i was thinking! lol
@@F150fx2sporT its funnx because the reason james downstrokes so much is because of a band called the ramones, which is a punk band
Imagine being a punk cool kid who's starting to succeed in music and you are on a gig, you play this really popular riff you heard from an awesome metal band and then 20 years later that awesome metal band play one of your songs riffs.

They're only like 6 years apart, what are you talking about

Is billie joe playing metallica on a telecaster? Now ive seen everything lol

And James playing Unforgiven II with a Telecaster in the official video? Never seen that?

Multi Kody exactlyyy. They both are awesome. Everyone’s bashing on Lars. Gah
Nobody said anything hateful. Metallica is better and that's a fact.

And they make very different music so I don't think you can compare.
z ⸒ wtf you can't compare two different types of rock. Green day and metallica are way too different to compare
Ana Carolina Yumi
yes you can. i compared them already and metallica seems to be better.
Green Day and Metallica- most influential bands from my 1st 2 years of guitar playing
Same dude. can you play nothing else matters?
Very happy to see both band sharinf their songs...
Billie Joe has always had a monster right hand. Not surprised at all that he'd nail one of the most legendary downpicked thrash riffs of all time.
Wow wow wow! Metallica playing Greenday.... Im done
goodsy3 there was a reason for it, they where replacing green day on that festival.
fucking idiot
goodsy3 Fuck off
goodsy3 Oh no, how dare they have fun?
isaac White American Idiot
Green Day playing metallica song and metallica playing green day song, wow! this made my day
@Kanashimi yeah, it made my day "Green"
Billie Joel Armstrong from what I've seen is not a bad guitarist, he just plays simple riffs and simple solos
maybe he's not bad. But we don't know it, his repertoire definitely limits what we can get from him.
I don't say that's bad. Let there be punk too. I listen to both bands
He's definitely better than what he plays, and I like the fact he's "underplaying", he's not into technique when he write songs
He keeps the punk sound on his way of writing songs, it's not so hard to understand.
he is a great guitarist no doubt such clean notes come from a lot of practising check out his solos in the trilogy, kerplunk, or 1039 slappy hours album they are so cool you will know that he can also shred and solo, even steve vai agrees to it
Dude hes obviously not bad
Nobody, literally nobody out there makes guitar playing look so cool and easy as James Hetfield.
EVH?
@@AudaciousAce1989 well yes. But JH just plays it like a BAWSS, he is.
I could list guitarists better and more skilled than James until my fuckin face turned blue.
@@shawnisawesome6495 what does better even mean? Faster? More technical? More creative? It's just too vague.
He's by far not the best player in the world, but does he make it look cool AF? Yes he does.
Finally a song Lars can handle on the drums.
Except hes still not even playing it right lmao, and his bass kicks sound so sloppy
Look up metallica's acoustic cover of Diary of a Madman and you'll want to scream at Lars through your phone/computer
Edit: I take that back, the whole cover is shit
@@yzdirtbikes144
That cover is offensive.
no, he cant... he even fucks up something that easy
Theres no fills in the part where the guitars are silent, in the original there is
Tre is such a good drummer. omfg.
the old drummer, back in "basket case" video was much better. I couldn't find his name. He was a blonde man.
izmarit
I hope you're joking
izmarit you have got to be joking
izmarit Dude, it was the same dude... Tre Cool
izmarit that was tre
I didn't expect Billy's tone to be so massive while playing MoP
For Metallica that's a cake walk.
yeah..... specially for lars lol....
Peter M Poor Lars
LSweet2007 well, I'm not questioning james' ability to play guitar, but, he did mess up the riff pretty badly. But that's probably just because he's not very familiar with the song.
Lol they sucked ass in the cover. Especially Lars, listen to the original song BIG difference.
To be fair, Billie has been playing that riff live for, I don't know, 20 years or thereabouts? I doubt Metallica even practiced before playing this bit.

Green Day: *Plays Master Of Puppets exactly as it was written*

How the hell did this get claimed for creeping death and not the two copyrighted songs that are actually in the video
They've had mutual respect and love for years. Don't know if they're close enough to be friends per se, but they definitely like each other!
Yeah not sure about the friends or if they know each other, liek you said. But they def respect each others music.
All punks secretly love metal, and all metalheads secretly love punk
Well thrash is motorhead punk and nwobhm
@@YamnayaSintash not all thrash homie
James loves punk rock
Not secretly. Im actually proud that I love them both . I love the cure and metallics equally.
Its not a secret.
Metallica has stated many times how much they loved punk and how it inspired/influenced them.
They surprisingly got both of their tones right.
Both are fan of both, I'm fan of both
Me when someone tell me to play a full song:
1:00
Lars this Lars that blah blah blah Lars blah drummer blah blah blah
Jaja it,s just a drummer, he can play really nice when he want

you know how cool it would be to have metallica play your song?
It would also be sick for Green Day to play your song
So much respect

literally in the first and second clip he makes mistakes and james doesn't. i can tell you're not a guitarist
Greentallica - Master of Idiots

I love the way his guitar sounds while playing they should make a cover on it they would be great
I had a better sense of rhythm than Lars Ulrich when I was 12.
And why can't he play the kick pattern for American Idiot?
You should hear him play smells like teen spirit hahaha
I'm pretty sure that's not the kind of shit he listens to anyway so he had to improvise, it's not like Lars jams out to green day in his fucking boxers on his Tama kit at his house
You laugh at his drum skills, he laughs at your bank account
Will Knox money can’t buy happiness and I’d bet my checking account Lars would say the time

@@basilistic Ah yes, comparing drummers that don't play the same genre of music, seems logical.
Why even compare the two like it’s a competition? Enjoy the music, it’s not sports.

*0:09* why tf does he look like that tho
It’s called a personality
Respect ❤️
I'm gonna guess that James just didn't know the lyrics lol

Billie Joe always does a mashup of random rock/metal riffs and green day shows
At least Billie down picks it like a man 💀

You obviously have no idea of James hetfields guitar ability
Brandon Dean yes I do 💀. I was alluding to the fact that most people alt pick it. Billie downpicks it like a man, like James.
