Very nice! you nailed the track. Love it when I can hear very clearly the bass separate from the guitar tones, as it is on this video. Was fun to listen :)

Quality cover. Lovely base tone as well. It's probably the best I have seen. As already mentioned, your Hetfield look makes it all the better, as if he is jealous of Harris or something. Best wishes from Scotland.

Thank you, my friend across the pond. That is pretty funny right there...James having an attitude and trying to take over Steve's role. Makes me want to see Steve pick up a Gibson Explorer to throw down with James in a rhythm slashing contest, lol.
