- Опубліковано 24 чер 2024
- I've listened to a lot of Metallica on this channel, and know that I've only heard a small section of their total discography (Unforgiven 2 and 3 are coming, I promise). And the covers I've heard Chris Stapleton sing have been absolutely mind blowing for me. So what happens when he covers "Nothing Else Matters"? I didn't know, so I had to check it out!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Chris Stapleton performing "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica for the first time.

Spot on about Firefly. This would have been perfect for that show. Mal's attitude about anything outside his ship and his crew does not matter.
Damn, I thought I was the only one who would think that! Dead on!
Someone just had to bring up Firefly. I am still pissed at Fox for canceling that series!
@@alankott3129😂 Yes!
I can’t believe that there is a reaction video with so much content, that I absolutely love:
Chris Stapleton
Nothing Else Matters
Firefly ❤
Only Dimash is missing 😅
Shiny!
@@alankott3129 Im mad at Fox for playing its episodes out of order, leaving people confused as to just what the show was about and how someone who was killed last week was suddenly alive the next, which LEAD to the show being cancled.
This song would've been perfect for Sons of Anarchy. If it was still on the air. This song captures the spirit of that show so much.
Oh you nailed that one! Never watched it when it was actually in syndication but FX had the whole series on some years ago and I taped all of them and got to binge watch the entirety in a few months time. I was sad when it was over, but I think it was much cooler to be able to run through it like that. Incredible show. I do have to say there was a lot of nights I would look up and it would be five or 6:00 in the morning because I couldn't quit watching it 😂
I said the same thing the first time I heard it!
My thoughts also..... SOA and/or Firefly/Serenity
I thought the same thing about SOA. But I would also say it would have worked well in Supernatural.
@@mariebishop7357 Agreed. I believe the original Metallica version was played on Supernatural. But this version would fit as well. Also, have you seen the show The Leftovers? it's a highly underrated show. A cover version of "Nothing Else Matters " by Apocalyptica is played during the opening scene of a pivotal episode. It's so haunting and it fits the show perfectly. Check the song out when you get the chance.
Firefly was such a great show, so sad we didn't get more seasons - Agree that this song would have been great on there.
Firefly Lane? Or is there also a show called Firefly? I saw Firefly Lane starring Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke and besides being a nice story, since the girls grow up in the 70s, there's a lot of nice 70s imagery, including music from that time, as well as the 80s and onwards.
@@russellspear6188Firefly. Western in space starring Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, et al. Most excellent show. Only lasted like 13 episodes but also spawned a movie called Serenity.
I'm in the minority that is somewhat happy it was cancelled early rather than being dragged out too long like other Joss Whedon shows, but still too early.
Capt Mal and Browncoats. Stay shiny
You can't take the sky from me.
My favorite Brown Quote: I want to go to the crappy town where I am a hero. XD
I love the interview with him where his wife said Chris is the best at messing songs up in the most beautiful way.
Chris can do no wrong. His voice is gives me chills no matter what he sings. I am a metalhead, but the way I cried when I saw Chris Stapleton live because of the way his voice just speaks to my soul was something else. There's so many amazing songs you could analyze of his on here but it's impossible to put into words just how unfathomably talented he is. He is on a whole different level than almost anyone making popular music today. He is a true force of nature.
We played this song (Metallica's version) at my brother's funeral, so I was a bit hesitant to listen to this cover honestly. Chris really did this song justice however. Glad that I listened 👍
A song that James Hetfield was reluctant to bring to the rest of the band. Initially, the song was not meant to be released, as Hetfield had written it for himself, but after drummer Lars Ulrich heard it, it was considered for the album. Elton John called it one of the best songs ever written. Now the song has 138 artist covers. For me, I'll stick to the original by Metallica.
🤘
I didn't know this song wasn't originally slotted for release. I'm glad they released it because it makes you feel things you wouldn't expect to feel from listening to Metallica. I'm fine with both the original version and the Chris Stapleton version because they're the only versions I know, and they're both awesome.
My favorite version is when they preformed it with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, it's still epic!
@@Jymbroni I'll have to check that version out.
@@ColtonRMagby the Gregorian one is pretty impressive. 4-5 vocals harmonizing. I think voice play does a cover too, but don't tell CV.
The expression in your face, Pure Joy....Beautiful
As usual
Great song choice to react to. Long time follower, and it's been incredible watching you grow. Keep on keepin on! 👏👏👏🙌 and yes all the love for Firefly!
I sometimes imagine which songs would fit in to certain scenes from movies or shows, too! What a dream job that would be!
I was playing grand theft auto. I imagined if they had metallica on the radio. With some of their song titles or lyrics as titles of missions. Fight fire with fire, scanning the scene of the city tonight....(part 1 of a mission), looking for you to start up a fight (part 2), you'll be dying a thousand deaths (part 3), seek and destroy. Unforgiven could be a mission after being betrayed. I had more but you get the point
Hit the nail on the head with it fitting firefly.
Totally!
What a performance.. again from Chris Stapleton.
The darkness in this song is scary but beautiful
He knows how to put emotion and feelings in his music like no one else
Chris was also in the VERY successful bluegrass band, The SteelDrivers, as well as a rock band named The Jompson Brothers BEFORE venturing into a solo career! In both groups, Chris was the lead singer as well as writing a majority of their songs.
Firefly was awesome; I wish there were more seasons.
No lie, firefly is one of the greatest shows ever and was dropped way too soon. My daughter’s middle name is “Jayne” from that show. Only because my wife wouldn’t get on board with the name River haha
Worked all day, showered, food & a new vid from my fav YTuber . It’s therapeutic to watch other lovers of art enjoy creation, expression of this wild journey we are on. Thank you very very much Mrs. CharismaticVoice
My downtime too, having a beer, chill at the end of the day watching this. New Zealand here so end of day for us now
Chris Stapleton is one of the greatest artists of our time. There isn't anything that he can't do. He would have fit into any generation of music
agreed, and i'm NOT a country fan!! But this guy is amazing! the Ray Charles of country
Chris Stapleton is one of the greatest artists of all time, let alone of our time.
@@donmitchell566Chris Stapleton isn't country though. He does country music, he does blues music, he does soul music, he does southern rock music. The genre that he fits into is Chris Stapleton.
I can't imagine you doing any job that isn't linked to music. It's your gift to the world.
🌍❤️🔥
Absolutely - 100%. You have a gift and music is medicine for all of our souls. There is no bad music - everyone interprets and needs all genres at some point in your life. It’s universal. Well…maybe mumblecore is the exception, can’t really get into that…ever
@@Pedal2_the_Metal
Mumblecore, that's a new one on me. I'll check it out.
@@Pedal2_the_Metal
Wow, that was a deep dive. I checked mumblecore on Spotify and the playlist had the Smiths' 'Panic' on it. Then Wikipedia said that mumblecore is a film style. Then I Googled mumblecore music and it said that it was mumbled electronica. 🤔🤣
I love the Firefly reference. . . . but now I'm associating you with Kaylee.
Now I wanna hear Elizabeth say: Shiny Captain.
Soil is a better word than dirt. Dirt is what you track in the house. Soil is the diverse material filled with organic matter and minerals that support life. 😊
That is such a geologist, farmer, or driller answer. Geologist who grew up on a farm and worked on a driller rig here.
@@scottmarshall5242 I was a crop scientist specializing in weed biology, ecology, and management. Lol
Okay, girlie (I'm nearly 73, so that term is one of affection), as much as I admire you for what you do and who you are, you just went up several notches for mentioning your love of Firefly. Finding out that we share another love besides music...to me that makes us kin, young'un.
As to this analysis, I think you are spot on.👍
Currently grooming a Pandora station with Black Label Society, Alice in Chains, Bob Segar, Chris Stapleton, The Distillers, Icona Pop, and Outkast. It's like hearding cats, but it's starting to mature into one of the greatest stations I've ever made. So many awesome artists and songs being drawn in. Thing i like about Chris Stapleton is, just like Bob Seger songs, I love to sing his songs out loud with matched energy when driving........alone of course.
Chris Stapleton, he could sing the phone book and I would still be captivated. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I came here to say this exact thing!!❤
Lol my wife literally said this very thing, and I agree with her! :-)
FIREFLY!!!!!!
I can really appreciate when a performer does a cover but really makes it in their own distinctive style.
A great example of this would be Legacy, the tribute album to Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors. Each song is done in the cover artists style rather than just remaking the original. Some great stuff there!
Kick Ass cover !!!
Metallica should be proud of this interpretation of their Rock Classic !!
Chris's guitar work is really fun in this as well...2 of my favorites combined.
I feel like he is such a beyond exceptional vocalist, people forget how good of a guitarist he also is.
I love watching your journey through different music genres and bands, it is inspiring to see you step out and discover new music.
German chocolate cake description was great! Love your channel! Always so excited to see when you post a new reaction. I've learned a lot about vocals and music! THANK YOU!
Stapleton is an absolute BEAST
As an old guy that went through the 80s as a teen, I notice 4 songs that really define that era that you have not reviewed. Might be for good reasons, but these are mandatory listens if you want to understand any Gen-Xer. In reverse order: Quiet Riot “Cum on feel the noise”, Billy Idol “Rebel Yell”, Frankie Goes to Hollywood “Relax”, and Twisted Sister “We’re not gunna take it”. Top three I strongly suggest the music videos which also helps explain Gen-X. You do a fantastic if job in a very entertaining manner. Thank you.
❤❤❤ Firefly. Pisses me off they cancelled it.
I don’t listen to Chris Stapleton normally however this song is on my playlist ❤ and also I have heard some of his other music and dude can sing!
:40 seconds in and Stapletons tone is the quintessential fender tone. Perfect. Chimey. Wavy. He knows how to get that sound drawn perfectly out of that jazzmaster and Princeton amp.
You just scored so many “Awesome” points by mentioning my all-time favorite show, Firefly!!! I had no idea you were a fellow Browncoat! I would love to hear you react to Adam Baldwin singing the Hero Of Canton song from Jaynestown!
❤❤❤FIREFLY!!! Stop it Elizabeth, we are at the peak of loving you already, you are torturing us with the reveal that you are a browncoat too! ❤❤❤
Firefly!!!! One of the greatest sci-fi/fantasy shows that was cancelled way too soon. Might need to find it and watch it again. Thank you. Love the channel!
I was extremely hesitant to listen to this cover. I usually avoid covers of songs that i love. But with it being Chris Stapleton i had to hear it. He is truly remarkable. The way he made it his was incredible. It felt like it was his song. I missed the guitar solo from the original but the solo at the end by Chris made up for it. So much soul. So much feel. Such a great cover.
Chris Stapleton tiene una voz alucinante y algo que no consiguen todos por muy bien que canten, y es que transmite y emociona.
I love when a song can be transformed by what the covering artist(s) can bring to the table. Especially when genres look like they would otherwise clash on paper. Just a different voice can change everything sometimes
Notable examples:
* Johnny Cash - ‘Hurt’
(originally by NIN)
* Sylvette - ‘Right Where It Belongs’
(originally by NIN)
* Chris Cornell - ‘Billie Jean’
(originally by Michael Jackson)
* I Prevail - ‘Blank Space’
(originally by Taylor Swift)
* Troy Baker/Ashley Johnson - ‘Wayfaring Stranger’
(originally by Johnny Cash)
And Disturbed's cover of "The Sound Of Silence"
Yeah, I definitely dig the Chris Cornell mention, when I first heard he was doing it I sort of cringed, then I heard it, and my mouth dropped.
@@threecedarshomestead1330and Disturbed's cover of the Genesis song Land of Confusion.
Another one is Harry Nilsson covering Badfinger's Without You. I honestly prefer the Badfinger version, but the Nilsson version is astounding.
So glad you checked this out. This was the first Stapleton song I heard, and the bluesiness is what convinced me to check out his other stuff.
By the way, Stapleton’s work with the Jompson Brothers is also wonderful. Before he did the solo “country” stuff with the Steeldrivers, it was the rock band he sang with.
Also, since you are digging both Stapleton and Metallica, I also recommend Metallica’s “Mama Said.” A delightful foray into country from the 1990s.
Making us love different music more and Firefly nerding out. Nicely done, Elizabeth.
The fact that you love Firefly raises your coolness by an order of magnitude, and proves that you do indeed have a happy, Shiny Spirit!
Browncoats!!!!
Killer cover! Adding to my music mix. Thx TCV!
Request - BREAKING BENJAMIN - Breath
(I'm not sure if you'll see this, Elizabeth, but I've always wondered if you listen to the full song after your analysis and before you record your final thoughts. Just curious! 😊)
Definitely one of the best vocal songs for breaking Benjamin, perhaps something on the soft side is forget it. But all phobia is great too!
the live version one?
@@soyjoy5258 For me, I like the studio version or the official music video.
If you love songs covered in different genres you should listen to Kasey Chambers ( an Australian country music icon) cover of Eminem’s “ lose yourself “. An amazing song in its own right but Kasey’s version emphasises the true emotions
Oh my god. You’re the first person I've heard even say that they've seen firefly. I love that show 😍
As a rock guy, I find Zac Brown to be THE BEST county crossover guy/ band ever!
They're all just cliches.
You should listen to The Warning’s cover of Enter Sandman it’s so good they make it their own. Metallica asked them to be on the Blacklist album
*Try the "Enter Sandman" -- version of ApocalypticA.....* 💿🔊🎵🔥
The warning does many great covers and their original songs are good too.
@@ryanbrandt5404TW originals are flippin fastastic.
This would fit perfectly in the Yellowstone series.
Personally it’s your channel creating quality content. Pause it where you want. I usually watch your analysis then go back and listen on the artists channel. I almost always hear something you’ve pointed out that I hadn’t really heard. It’s hearing it with new ears
Creative covers are the BEST!! They allow an entirely new interpretation / association for an old song❤
Chris Stapleton would do such an awesome Bond song.
Chris give me goose bumps any time I hear his voice.
I heard Chris Stapletons version a few months ago and it is so awesome!! And the few minutes when he’s just jamming is amazing
Chris’s version of the National Anthem at the Super Bowl and his live performance with Dua Lipa are pretty incredible too.
This video reminds me of the documentary “Koyaanisqatsi” with music by Philip Glass. This video, as well as the guitar at the end, would fit right in with it! ❤️🎶
I could talk about the song, but can we all just sit and nerd out about Firefly and Serenity for the next hour?
Great video! Would kill to see the first reaction of the Metallica guys listening to it! That was super cool! 🤟✌️👌♥️🇨🇦
Firefly/Serenity are on my top 10 list.
I own the DVDs, and rewatch them many many times
I don't always listen to Chris Stapleton, but when I do, Nothing Else Matters.
Best comment of the day
I always love your reactions and analysis. It gives us laymen some insight into vocal techniques. I do wish you'd do 'Kalandra - Borders' though. It's such a hauntingly beautiful song.
0h my goodness!!! Firefly and SERENITY (same cast) are 2 of my favorites. We have a connection that tome is unexpected. ❤
Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.
When Death Calls by Black Sabbath with the great Tony Martin on vocals and Brian May from Queen on the guitar solo
As a Huge fan of both of these artists, this is one of the greatest covers of all time.
Try band called Volbeat, and song Fallen. It's a song for vocalists late father. Try live from beyond hell above heaven, very emotional. Also great song is Lola Montez or For Evigt. This band sounds better live than in studio.
Elizabeth, speaking of covers, please at some point listen to "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger. Then follow immediately with Metallica's cover of that song. They are both so amazing and deserve a deep dive. You won't be disappointed!
I friend/coworker that hates has been teaching me to play guitar, he hates country but likes Christ Stapleton. We were working on one of Chris's songs and this came up after he about paused it I said let it go I think you'll like it. Lets this play he starts messing with his guitar then starts playing and got into it and I just thought no way I can do this yet I'll just watch. He played like the entire length at the end he said thank you said he had not had a chance to play like that in like 3 months. I like country despite he doesn't like it he's shown me a few songs and I think he's found a few other country songs he likes.
Yes, this does fit FIREFLY! Love it!
And yes, there is a guitar solo double standard. It just is.
Love the music/food/drink pairing idea.
@thecharismaticvoice I remember how surprised you were when I told you about this. I don't remember what premier it was but you were excited to hear that info from the chat. I do remember it was years ago. It may have been on the nothing else matters premier from Metallica. Great job. Keep them Stapleton songs coming.
Sinead O'Connor's recording is the Prince's "Nothing Compares To You" is the definitive version of that song. Rare as it is for a cover version to eclipse the original artist it is even rare still for another cover to stand up with the artist who made the definitive cover. Chris Stapelton's cover of "Nothing Compare's To You" the night Prince died is one of those rarer covers.
Firefly is an excellent show, I absolutely loved it.
Superb cover. I'm going to have to check out more from Chris. I'm only casually familiar with his music.
Have you considered analysing A-Ha (Summer Moved On)? Longest note ever. Glad to see you going deep into the metal journey. (Journey is another timeless band)
Absolutely love the technicals and I've learned so much.
this could easily be a main backing track to either SOA (sons of anarchy) or The Punisher (netflix version w/ jon bernthal). that gritty dirty western blues with a kiss of anger that this song inhibits is masterful. there's so much power & pain in this version......absolutely incredible cover of an already timeless song that never failed to pull at the heartstrings.
Firefly!!!! Who doesn't love space cowboys/pirates?
I really like this. It is different enough to be significant instead of being a copy of a great song.
The food and drink pairing would be awesome!
The song sounds great but the joy on your face is even better. ❤
This reaction was so full of awesomeness!
- Your descriptions 😂❤️
- Firefly 🎬🔥
- Chris Stapleton 🎤
- Metallica 🎸
- Chocolate cake 🤤 (That’s what we call it in Germany 😉)
There was only Dimash missing, which would have made it even more perfect. 😉
That siren sounded exactly like the alarm sirens in my city. They get tested every month - so I know them well. I wonder if that sound is somehow universal standard. 🤔
Your American ambulance and police sirens sound totally different from ours.
You should definitely analyze Chris and Morgane singing "You are my sunshine", talk about crossing genres! They put such a unique, bluesy spin on it.
Lovely Miss charismatic voice lady. A thousand apologies that I honestly am brain farting to your first name right now. Did y'all happen to get rain storm last night in tucson? You just mentioned rain about this video and it made me curious. We got a big win followed by rain storm last night down here in the Phoenix valley. No I don't know why they called that's not really a valley. I live in Tempe by the airport. Got my car all dirty after getting a car wash. What a kick-ass collaboration this country guys one of my favorites now and Metallica is still my favorite metal band. God bless you for putting this video together have a great day
Don’t forget about his time with the Bluegrass band The Steeldrivers which is where I first heard Chris singing.
The Metallica version makes you feel thing no other Metallica song does, and Chris Stapleton's version is a prime example of how to do a cover CORRECTLY.
It's pretty plain though.
@@johnc7512 So is the Honda Vakyrie.
I don't know about that, 'Fade to Black' off of their 'Ride The Lighting' album has that same vibe but not so polished.
@@WaymoresBlues I've heard worse songs from other musicians.
Chris did rock. In 2007 he had rock band named the Jompson Brothers they put out a self titled album and toured with Zach Brown.
I hate to admit this, but you're absolutely right; this would have fit perfectly with Firefly--maybe even as the opening music.
I loved this analysis. Please do another "getting drunk" video with something like Who let the Dogs Out or Mambo number 5.
You are right about this song fitting in on Firefly.
Shawn James covering Number of the Beast is the best, most chilling cover ever.
Wow. That ending solo is truly epic. Like "Comfortably Numb" epic.
Straight up class the pausing to try to drive ad revenue back to the artist. One of many reasons I love your channel.
Elizabeth is a Firefly fan too? I love her more every time I listen!
Love Firefly and was extremely disappointed when the show was canceled. Was excited for the movie but let down when they didn’t make anymore. One of the greatest TV series ever.
You just earned extra points with me referencing "Firefly"!!
The last part, his singing is free of affect and approaches Metallica. The guitar solo is beyond beauty and heavenly. There are no storms, just revealed joy. Redeemed
The sirens at the end remind me of the sirens they use in the area to warn of bad storms/tornadoes.
The food drink and jams idea is really good!! i think there may be a need for booths or partitions. But two or more people can eat drink and jam at the same booth holding back any expressions or comments until a certain time has passed.
Didn't know this existed, but WOW this was amazing. I think there's a clip of Elton John saying the original is one of the best songs ever written and I agree.
The song, especially the instrumental parts, along with the video, reminds me of videos done by certain stormchasers.
I thought FIREFLY too after the first verse!! All time favourite too :)
