Metallica - 'Frayed Ends of Sanity' Guitar Cover

Actually James's riff from 4:05 and till the end of solo is much harder and badass 😬

OchenteroyNew wave mireligionLOS-80s I cant play this riff for shit. One of James’ hardest IMO. Well done man

[@Παθεια_Γνωστικα]

@@antoniomiasnikov4494 rofl, today I woke up with that riff playing in my head. It was a bit harsh, especially that early. And I couldn't get to sleep yesterday, due to that riff, ha-ha. Probably, it just shows how awesome this riff is.

[@keanomurro9835]

I disagree with everyone. The riffs from 5:09 until they bring it back to the start are unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+!+

[@juancamiloprietocortes2569]

James Hetfield is a genius

[@matthewbussy]

True that. His riffs sound so amazing but when you see them you realise a lot of the time they are so simple.

[@JerryAsbury1985]

I guess James has a long list of crimes then lol.

[@brooksrocco]

At the master-riff at 4:08, it appears this dude isn't actually playing it. Watch his right hand.

[@valerian8999]

@@brooksroccoI think he’s snuck in a cut there, but his playing is still fantastic. I don’t know how you could fake such complexity in playing guitar. Maybe with AI nowadays, but this was 8 years ago. The only thing guitarists could fake is the speed they’re really playing, like I strongly suspect with Cole Rolland, but this guy definitely isn’t doing that.

[@zynnertime1]

Most people really don't understand how good Justice really is. It's the most intricate Metallica album with the best guitar tone and profound lyrics. And the drumming from Lars was phenomenal. The most underrated metal album of all time.

[@cwmmetal]

Diapason Dlvg completely agree mate, this is their Opus. Puppets is obviously a game changer, But this was a whole different beast. Some of the shit James was doing rhythmicallly and melodically at this time was just so far out there, it still just blows me away.

[@andrew_mcnevin]

Favorite Metallica album by far

[@narizman00]

anything after justice is rubbish ....

[@420Impeller]

Everyone talks about the riff at 4:05. No one says anything about the riff under the solo at 4:27. That's just as good, maybe better.

In Justice for All= One of the best stage shows ever! Six rows from the front. Great until the encore "One" played. It became all moshy and the steel chairs started flying! Split my head open and a quart of blood poured all over my new Justice shirt! All limping and shy a quart of blood!

[@brett5760]

some of metallicas greatest riffs lay behind kirks solos!! Amazing job!!

[@robertfraser7199]

So true

[@MikaelLV]

This is what I was looking for. A cover that correctly does the rhythm under Kirk's solo. When I approached this song I wasn't really interested in learning the solo as I find it to be one of Kirk's weaker ones. The Hetfield part is fucking gold though. Thanks!

[@cwmmetal]

Mesimarch thanks man! I love Kirks stuff and I wish I was a solo guy but I've always been drawn to just rhythm stuff. Having someone like Hetfield to look up to for my playing style helps a lot! Dude is on another level rhythmicallly.

[@justdev8965]

It's not a weak solo. It's harmonious with the rest of the song, especially with that rhythm guitar part that "accompanies" it

[@durhamviking1809]

A great Kirk solo imo

[@nykterion7]

Weak?? I guess you prefer the St Anger’s solos better? Lol

[@Theopholly]

CWM I know this post is older but I just found it today and wanted to say you did an incredible job. I’m totally with you on James’ rhythm playing. I’ve always loved watching him play because he almost looks more like a machine than a man, the way his hand moves perfectly up the fretboard to the exact place it needs to be every time.

[@mandokush5254]

Dude your tone is fucking spot on.

[@enisvatansever7056]

Jesus that riff under the solo is fucking bonkers man. I've no idea how Hetfield came up with that but it's the most fun thing I've ever played on guitar. ...And Justice For All was a masterpiece.

[@adlevitt]

Alright, time to finally drop a comment after watching this video easily a few hundred times. Even die hard Metallica fans probably don't realize this is arguably James' best rhythm work ever. This song is insanely complicated, which is probably why they never played it live (or not until later and only by request). My sleeper hit from And Justice for sure. This is one of the best covers of all time: it is flawless and that's saying something because of the complexity.

[@cwmmetal]

Agreed on your points - definitely an underrated gem! Appreciate your comment 🤘

[@JFStrandholm]

fucking yes, you nailed that rhythm section during the solo! my favorite part of the album thank you good sir! :) \m/

[@cwmmetal]

Thanks brother, One of mine too!

[@TJ_Silvester]

Tone is absolutely bang on.

[@LRRPFco52]

4:04 is sick! I used to listen to this album all the time when it first came out. My brother burned a copy of it on a cassette for me to play in my Sony Walkman. He had it on CD, which was cutting edge at the time. We used to listen to it while cruising with all our friends as well. We had all the previous 3 albums prior to that, so it was a very memorable thing when we put Justice in the tape deck in his car for the first time after school one day. That intro for Blackened and then the intensity of the first rhythm was electric. That was the last album that had that effect on us.

[@smithnwesson990]

This was when Metal hit its peak. Maybe the most important Thrash Metal album of all time woth the greatest Metal Rhythm guitarist of all time.

[@SuperDimeslime333]

[@chernebog07]

Think that justice is one of the most well-written metal albums ever. Even though Cliff was gone at this point, his influence can still be heard. It's just such a shame that the mix is so Goddamn awful - no bass, midrange out the ass, and drums that sound like a metronome. Also, I read that they doubled James' voice on every track which makes it a bit more harsh. But the composition, lyrics and theme of spiritual isolation really makes this a metal masterpiece. All of this is my humble opinion, of course.

[@cwmmetal]

It's my favourite album of all time. I absolutely love the mix and I may be in the minority. I love how harsh it is, sterile almost. It really suits the vibe of the whole album. I usually crank up the low end every time I listen to it, not to try and salvage the lack of bass, but theres actually a whole lot of information down there that really shines when you crank a couple of DB, especially in Lars's drum track. I think the remastered 'bass' versions are great, but I am 100% into what the guys were trying to do with the mix, with the lack of bass, for obvious reasons involving Cliff. This is Metallica at their angriest, most vulnerable, most progressive and the tightest they will ever be, and I wouldn't change anything on the album at all.

[@chernebog07]

@@cwmmetal You know, I never looked at that way before. You make some damn good points! I love the album, too. I had everything else that preceded this, but I only started listening in '88. So this was the first "new" album I bought. It holds a special place in my memory and heart as it helped me through some crappy times. I knew someone else out there felt the way I did and made music the way I wanted it to sound. I agree that this is their tightest album. It's so damn precise!

[@keithwillson8927]

Scooped mids!!!!! That basically “is” Metallica. And this album is gold. Awesome rendition of an awesome song. Feel like I found your channel late.
