6 More Metallica Ballads on Classical Guitar - Medley

[@tbadj649]

To Live is to Die, a masterpiece.

[@Bsssssssssssssss]

No, its THE masterpiece

[@flightofthebumblebee9529]

It's the type of thing where you listen to it, and you're moved beyond words and it transcends something bigger than music.

[@adammoffatt3832]

I wish he included the interlude it's heaven.

[@notremorse]

the harmonics on the day that never comes are insane, nice job

[@crzxm]

Harmonics are easy to play.

[@advonboards]

Like maybe i am retarded but i fail so hard on playing harmonics

[@Officer.K.]

Most of the time I think it’s the instruments fault. Like I have a cheap guitar and it sounds disgraceful to listen to so don’t get discouraged

[@journeystarr]

Holy shit The Unforgiven is amazing

[@samredmond5196]

Dude how did you manage to play the guitar and bass line simultaneously on the day that never comes?! that’s insane

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Thanks! I do it using classical guitar technique. I have a video tutorial here if you’re interested: www.patreon.com/charlesalexanderallred

[@fotipapafotiou3513]

You gave the unforgiven so much more feel than it already has. Truely a beautiful cover of the song

[@flankengott134]

The Call of Ktulu - This e to e minor is so beautifully dark

[@adilbozkurt5052]

When you played harmonics on the day never comes Me: wait, thats illegal

[@VacantSpirit]

ye its damn beautiful

[@tg9521]

No. It's completely legal dude.

[@adls04]

Impressive stuff

[@Gers0n2k]

Perfect... Those harmonics reminded me the street player Morf, really impressive guy

[@shaneoneill7680]

I’m confused I though harmonics could only be played on 5 7 12 and 19 on a 22 fret

[@mcgamescompany]

so you need 2 guitars to play the unforgive- *sees **6:33* i might go to cry somewhere now. yeah.

[@amm0gamm0]

Most good classical guitarists have that uncanny ability, somehow... To seem like more than one person is playing the guitar at once, I mean.

[@anthursan]

The intro of "Fight fire with fire" is my favorite intro riff on the "Ride the Lightning" LP since I heard it for the first time in 1986 - 1987 when I was 7 or 8 years old, but hearing it in a baroque guitar version is a lot more beautiful. 02:41 (Mouldy) aka "Heroe of the day"

[@BTBAM819]

To Live is To Die intro makes me cry every time. Don't know which member wrote it (sounds either Cliff or James) but it's so beautiful yet sad. Nice medley!!

[@alluringskull2133]

Same

[@Gandalf_Lundgren]

@@alluringskull2133 Pretty sure the composition is attributed to Cliff, but I'm guessing James had a hand in the final version.

[@harrisontownsend910]

​@gandalflundgren3311 the poetry is what goes to Cliff. It's all written by James and Kirk.

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

The way you’ve arranged the intro for To Live Is To Die is absolutely incredible.

[@leomac_07]

Oh, man, the day that never comes and the unforgiven is unreal, such a beautiful talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ExcaliburDrumTracks]

Dude you’re a beast on the classical guitar! I could listen to this all day!

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

[@felipediazcristianismo]

Man, you almost made me cry with the Unforgiven... So beautiful...

[@saltedllama2759]

The Day That Never Comes is one of the greatest songs in their library. Severely underrated and blocked by the "but it isn't from the 80's" lemmings who won't open their ears. The entire Death Magnetic album, for that matter, is spectacular. Along with Hardwired, they belong in their top 5 It is possible for them to have improved upon the work they began in the early 80's, believe it or not.

[@FartSniffer1]

Death Magnetics has excellent songs but trash mix, it sucks. However people made remasters and remixes of the album that make the songs just great

[@tillman40]

The first half should have been its own song. The second half ruins it

[@awesomo_matt]

Death magnetic was Ana amazing album

[@roninboxers]

Ì had never heard that song before so went to listen. Yes great, but also, people are not kidding about what an awful mix it is. I thought my ears were gonna bleed.

[@wmeo5349]

Also, Hetfield just doesn't sound that aggresive, that good in general. The last album when I found his singing decent was st.anger. I mean it's normal to not have the same voice in your 50s, as when you were 18 ofc, but I am one of those who pay much attencion to vocals and I get confused sometimes when he thesedays. Although I gotta say, musically all their albums present incredible level, no doubt

[@dirtyridesmtbapparel]

I’m so impressed with this guy. I’m a real Metallica fan and an amateur guitarist This is unbelievable. Could listen to this all night

[@slashdash7456]

I listened first medley more than billion times and prayed for part 2. My dreams came true!

[@cacatyger391]

[@adamgriffith-smith9106]

That transition from the day that never comes into hero of the day was perfect

[@jeremietorres8067]

Thank you, I thought the same thing here! Can make you feel better about yourself after hearing it from start to finish

[@scufflenutsfromthemodern-un9gi]

Holy Jesus, how did I never hear this till now. This is total awesomeness.

[@tenytoe6452]

This man really loves Metallica this much

[@tonymcnamara9368]

Brilliant!! Any parent that tell's their kids the Metal/Rock isn't, "Real", music need to listen to this!! Masterpiece imo.

[@jeremy9951]

I just cant stand people like that, this type of music is more real than any other type of music, maybe except for classical.

[@fatherlandchild2780]

Yeah, metal many times has more classical influences than other genres. Atleast northern european metal.

[@grant__4741]

Metallica is my favorite band I love playing their stuff but you take their ballads to a whole new level. Absolutely beautiful playing thank you

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Hey thanks Charles, great name btw :)

[@TheAlexandre141]

I'm so glad you decided to make a second video about Metallica's ballade, thank you so much ! you have a gift mate

[@andrewray3154]

Thank you for this it's truly a testament to James and the boys, and thank you for not leaving out Justice material in your works. huge respect for your skills buddy, FYI... I was feeling it bad towards the end 2020 can go suck it.

[@CharlesAlexanderAllred]

Hey Andrew, thanks for your words, I really appreciate it. Growing up, Justice was my favorite album for years. It wasn’t until I discovered KZbin that I learned about all the criticisms of it. Even still, I wouldn’t change a thing about it, personally. Glad you liked the medley, and yes 2020 can go f*ck itself.

I guess this blows the myth of Metallica music. It's drawn from the Renaissance.

[@furioussherman7265]

@joe bloggs Not all of them, just Cliff Burton. He taught the rest of them musical theory while they were putting together the Ride The Lightning album.

[@hiiruss7423]

[@cheyennemcginniss6164]

Further proof that metal is just classical music with drums + electricity

[@FartSniffer1]

@@furioussherman7265 Hetfield had 2 very conservative christian parents that made him listen to all sort of classical music too.

[@furioussherman7265]

@@FartSniffer1 And yet every song the band's made without Cliff has conspicuously lacked classical influences.

I play "Nothing else matters" exactly the same as you. Those who listen are always impressed and say "wow is better than the original" . The reason is that I am a classical guitar player as you. The loving sound of nylon wires. :) It was just as beautiful as your first video. I've listened to many times, thanks a lot.

Awesome job. "The Unforgiven" was particularly well done...Keep it up, you're talented as hell!

You know what ??? As much as I love rock music and metal , your versions are so beautiful and completely relaxing an absolute joy to listen to , great job

[@JayBaggio]

thanks, this was beautiful to listen to. It always bothered me from the San Diego gig when James apologises to the crowd for playing The Unforgiven as is playing acoustic music is something shameful. I think all top metals band have great acoustic compositions or passages of music (from Zep and Sabbath to Maiden and Pantera), and that shows that there is depth in their art, nothing to be ashamed of.

[@bencarozza5249]

Sounds like it should be playing in a tavern in Skyrim. Beautiful work!

all of these sound wonderful. Metallica has had some great acoustic/clean parts in between the heavy stuff. To live is to die sounds especially good here. Of all the acoustic covers, that one sounds most like it were an actual classical piece that tells a story. Great covers! keep up the good work
