How in the fuk could something sound better backwards, than forwards? And who was the utter genius in the band who decided to at least give that intro a listen backwards? This will forever blow my mind.
One of the best intros of all time, sometimes I play only the intro. don't get me wrong the song is amazing but the intro is beyond this world. For me is like epic or the feeling of someone ready for a battle.... I don't know..
I never knew why I was so mesmerized by that intro. I knew there was something different but could not place a finger on it. It was REVERSED!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for putting that mystery to rest for me. Awesome job!
most devastatingly beautiful intro ever written. I wish i could play the guitar like you. If i did, i would probably play Blackened over and over non-stop until i die.
so FUCKING good. I've watched like 20 covers of this song on youtube and your tone is by far the best, its just so damn clear and percussive. the palm muted E's in the main riff sound so good. I would give anything for that tone lol
At first I was like 'there's something odd with this guy's mixing in the intro' Then I realized the most basic thing ever: this one finally has bass lmaoooo
Dude, this is a GREAT cover of a really, really tough song. This is easily one of my favorite Metallica songs ever. I'm 40 now and still remember when I bought And Justice for All on tape and heard Blackened for the first time. Absolutely blew my mind. I've recently come back to playing guitar after many years and I'm learning this song again. Just want to say I appreciate the hell out of this cover, because it is NOT easy. But it is very rewarding when it starts coming together.
Without a doubt, one of the best covers of Blackened I have ever heard! Perfect timing and tone... However... James downpicks the ENTIRE SONG! Absolutely incredible job though!!!🤘🤘🤘
You hit that technique sweet spot where your playing has just the right amount of startling tightness and precision but without sounding mechanical. Your tone slays too.
@5:25 I have been listening to this song for years and just realized this riff sounds life the jaws theme. I was always focused on the solo and Never realized it before.🤯
he is down picking the verses which is the part that is most noticebale. Most wouldb't even notice the alternate picking in the intro if it were a blind test. I'd alternate pick the intro too-- long song to downpick all the way through
Love what you've done with the Epiphone Explorer. I've literally just got mine out of the case for the first time in about 5 years, still got all the original parts, apart from the stop-bar, which I've lost somewhere 😒
Well done! As some people have posted it's not 100% correctly played as you're missing out a lot of the E down strokes. But it's your interpretation of the song and it still sounds great!!
Could you imagine that this is the firts metallica's song I heard in my life after been listening hard rock... ("and justice" was my first album than I heard)... it blow my head!!
the tone of and justice for all is maybe the sharpest and cleanest tone ever in metal history. This tone forgive no mistake. You hear everything in it. And this record is just divine.
Bro.. First off that tone.. Unbelievable.. I have played covers since 2007. and this is an absolutely incredible cover. I 100% respect you for this, I know what it took and how much practice and passion it took to nail this. Thank you for your everything. You NAILED IT.
Veryyy good my friend👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 the best cover i have seen of this song. Very good playing!!! If James is looking for a substitute, you can fill in for him. Greetings from Holland.
I don’t give a flying flip what some these people are saying about the alternate/down picking. It sounds amazing with your mixture of both. Keep up the great playing, bro 🔥🤘🏻
hands down the best cover on youtube of blackened. I’d pay good money to be able play the guitar, especially as good as you. Just feel like 23 is too late to get into it
Thank you for the compliments. Appreciate it! I don’t think 23 is too late. Never give up playing. Just enjoy it. No one has to be perfect. I am not perfect too. For instance, I am not very good on solos. Just keep playing and enjoying it. Thanks again. Cheers!
@@johnp82 No way guy thrasher plays it all downpicking tight af.. nails the solo and does it all wearing a GAS MASK while standing up and playing. The person in this video above does alright but he needs to do nothing but downpick for a year if he wants to play this properly. The pick attack isnt hard enough when he uses an upstroke after the fretted E notes.
@@tankutaydinliyim For the solo's try this. Play any note on the fretboard with your first finger. Pick the note very soft. You can almost barely feel the string vibrate while your fretting finger is pressing down on the note. Now play the same note again only this time pick it HARD. You can now feel the string vibrate under your fretting hand finger. Each note should FEEL like this. When you try to play fast while using your ear your brain has to try to process the sound of each note which takes longer than doing it by feel. And of course you should do this slowly at first elminating all tension while slowly building speed.
Hell yeah my dude. Fantastic cover. Love that you gave us the proper intro too. We all know Papa Het downpicks on this, but you nailed every note. Screw the haters!
Amazing! Just one thing, to get the true metallica feel when youre playing and to get the most power outta that guitar you need to use only downstrokes also it just looks at lot cooler doing downstrokes

I heard it was Jason’ idea to play it in reverse and they thanked him by cutting bass out the album
You mean James and Lars, Kirk is basically just a ride along in that relationship
@@migionie kirk is like the child that always gets caught in-between arguments
@@TearsPlays while being the eldest 😭
@@TearsPlays That’s ironic because of his Wah Pedal
Xd
Your bass playing is on point.
I got really confused for a second
@@peterrasmussen6775 lol
Really on point, just like the original recording.
I think he has the bass stems from the song, it’s TOO accurate
@Junior Mario fuck off
THE MOST DEVASTATINGLY BEAUTIFUL INTRO EVER WRITTEN !
word to that! some of the best metal riffs of all time are in this song.
I agree man, this intro still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck to this day,as it did when I first heard it, what an epic song and album
It makes me feel like a fucking badass lmao
How in the fuk could something sound better backwards, than forwards? And who was the utter genius in the band who decided to at least give that intro a listen backwards? This will forever blow my mind.
That was Jason!
@@yulomusic9784 what a legend

Amalokch totally agree! The intro still gives me goosebumps everytime I listen it...
Yeah 💯
I hear you man, awesome intro to an epic album
I never knew why I was so mesmerized by that intro. I knew there was something different but could not place a finger on it. It was REVERSED!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for putting that mystery to rest for me. Awesome job!

Never too late to learn…
That’s probably one of the coolest guitars I’ve ever seen
It's interesting how the intro sounds so doomy normally and so oddly hopeful when non-reversed
*ORGANIC EET FUK*
Underrated comment.
I fucking choked
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wonder who was the genius who came up with the idea to reverse that intro, it's glorious!
I believe that would be Jason!
@@caleschnell and as a reward for that awesome intro they removed him from the album
@@jgbc25 That's why ...And Justice for Jason exists
so FUCKING good. I've watched like 20 covers of this song on youtube and your tone is by far the best, its just so damn clear and percussive. the palm muted E's in the main riff sound so good. I would give anything for that tone lol
Jason also came up with the main riff...easily, one of the most dark and metal riffs to still exist.
Well done! Good job, man. :)
I'm a bass player and I must tell you... the bass sounds just like in the album, too!
Felipe Melo hahaha nice
At first I was like 'there's something odd with this guy's mixing in the intro'
Then I realized the most basic thing ever: this one finally has bass lmaoooo
That guitar is absolutely gorgeous!
Never noticed how sick James' riffs are during Kirk's solos 😎
Tam aradığın, istediğim gibi bir cover... Gitarın tonu, çalışın herşey mükemmel. Eline sağlık!..

Thanks a lot! It is the same for me. I am 34 and I do remember the exact moment of first hearing AJFA album. Intro still gives me goosebumps:)
Sheesh. I can’t get over how gorgeous that guitar is. Your playing was incredibly clean and enjoyable to hear. That tone? Amazing.
That solo was flawless
Hate that they don't play 6:08 - 6:26 anymore. My favorite, of many, parts of the song.
I’m willing to bet it’s cause of the switch that Lars would have to execute, and likely couldn’t lol
@@fluffytoaster427 He pretty much struggled with that part already in the 80's
@@S3ppokaali he never succeeded in doing that live.
Papa Het not happy with alternate picking. But really a great cover with a crunchy tone
Very very not happy :(
Even Papa Het alternate picks now. Even on the sacred Master of Puppets 😂
@@JPibbs2198 papa Het’s in his 50s it’s acceptable
Really cool that you showed Jaymz’ rhythm guitar part on Kirk’s solo, it’s actually great and overlooked section.
Intro Is wonderful, whether straight or reversed. You nailed it man
Did you just alt. picked Blackened?
Eww
That’s like the regular song
*YOU GOT CAUGHT*
He's just a man. There's a reason hetfield is a legend.
😅👍
best cover I've seen so far, great job man!
Thanks man!
Epic cover!!
My guitar just listed itself on eBay.😪
The tone is absolute perfect keep it up man! Looking forward for new covers. Cheers!
Ok that intro was amazing. At first I thought “that doesn’t sound right...wait thats not right. Ohhh that’s awesome!”
Without a doubt, one of the best covers of Blackened I have ever heard! Perfect timing and tone... However... James downpicks the ENTIRE SONG! Absolutely incredible job though!!!🤘🤘🤘
Holy shit, your tone is perfect
Lovely crunchy tone!
That intro blows my mind every time i hear it! Great job!
I think we can all agree that was perfection
Çok güzel iş elinize sağlık. Tersine introyu eklemeniz çok iyi olmuş.
Holy hell! You can alternatively pick this flawlessly.
*sorry not sorry*... FUCKING beautiful composition!...editing, stitching...blends...all of it! Just beautiful man! Great job!
If you played the whole thing in downpicking you'd have gotten way more than a like. 👌🏼🤘🏼
Stunning piece of work.
You hit that technique sweet spot where your playing has just the right amount of startling tightness and precision but without sounding mechanical. Your tone slays too.
I didn't know what to expect. But holy fuck I was blown away when I heard the opening to Blackened after playing in reverse. Fucking awesome job
Beautiful guitar
looks like he took an epiphone gothic explorer, removed the paint and did a clear coating. Looks gorgeous!
@@mrbend i thought the same, but i think the gothic explorer has a scratch plate which hides the electrics
Could be the epiphone 1984 explorer EX?
Great work on that intro mate!
@5:25 I have been listening to this song for years and just realized this riff sounds life the jaws theme. I was always focused on the solo and Never realized it before.🤯
Bro, that rhythm guitar!! My man, good job.
Excellent tone on that guitar/amp.
I like your interpretation from 0:30 - 0:45, and all the way through well done
DUDE YOU KILLED IT!! Amazing job, i was getting some serious adrenaline there
This is the best cover I've seen so far. Really appreciate how the original intro segues into the album version. \m/ all the way!
great cover ive always like the sound of down picking better but this sounds nice
he is down picking the verses which is the part that is most noticebale. Most wouldb't even notice the alternate picking in the intro if it were a blind test. I'd alternate pick the intro too-- long song to downpick all the way through
Really nice playing enjoyed it! The tone is spot on as well!
I really like your guitar tone!
Nice guitar, even better tone, tight playing, congrats
Awesome job!! 👑 Fantastic thick and nice sound also! Superb!!!
super sick job! people talking about how its not good because there's no downpicking but its an amazing cover even if you didnt downpick 100% of it
Man. That opening/verse riff is so freaking hard and you nailed it. Fantastic job.
nice playing beautiful guitar
This is the BEST cover out there
Best. Intro. Evs.
Good work btw! 👍🤘
Beautiful guitar! Nice job!
Very nicely done, Sir. Love the guitar.
That’s a nice song, a nice cover and a nice explorer. Well done, mate.
The best intro ever
1:15 hey! I have the same dart 🎯 at my home.
You did awesome work on it.
Thanks! Dart looks cool but plays terrible btw:)
@@tankutaydinliyim welcome! Yes it is.
It would have been epic if they could have fit that intro into the end of the record.
All hail the bedroom metalheads! ...BTW too much bass. ;)
NEVER TOO MUCH BASS
Very well done dude!!

Nice cover. Only the up stroks man a bummer
I bet you wouldn't notice the difference in sound without the video.
Joaquim Bamberg yes I would!!
Joaquim Bamberg yeah i can easily tell there’s a difference, down picking sounds way cleaner and more uniform
Definietly the best cover on yt that i have found! Nice one dude!
You nailed it , very well played ;)
Dude this is such a polished video. You deserve more recognition
What a fucking kick ass distortion!!
