i know you hear this all the time but, thanks for these man! You're a genius

[@silvasurfa7962]

It was worth it 🔥

[@One_Proud_Papa]

Absolutely worth the wait/shenanigans. Wonderful.

It's too late Bill, we declare war. Thanks for getting after your creativity it makes a lot of our days better.

Holy... Edwins voice is metal as fuck...

[@robwarren6729]

Who knew that Edwin Starr's voice actually fit metal really well. He had the pipes.

[@julian5883]

Yep...one of my favourite soul voices (along with Bobby Blue Bland) Stunning mash-up...works so well!

By the same token, one wonders how metal vocalists would do singing soul.

[@kevin2400]

Well... Springsteen actually covered the song war.... and made it kinda heavy back on the tunnel of love tour 88

[@FAMCHAMP]

I think Soul and Metal artists really put their heart in projecting their voices for their respected crafts I know you gotta have soul to sing soul lol

[@steeveleonard7584]

This mashup is a masterpiece. Seriously. It elevates the original “War” to such intensity.... It gives me chills.

[@salzulli6290]

I can see this version in a movie. It's got the perfect dynamics

[@peterbuckmaster581]

Agreed. When SoH moves up a gear around the 1:30 mark, Edwin Starr's singing seems to gain intensity, and it pulls in you in all the way. Excellent!

[@allaboutboxing1059]

@@peterbuckmaster581, bro?! Not only that part, check out the guy in green on the 2:08 mark. He pop-locks and moshes at the same time. This is the perfect part where the music just takes you to another level.

[@elcid71garcia30]

Another level 👌🏽

[@sinks88]

"chills" understatement....its so gawd damn good its scary

[@iancavon7125]

Edwin Starr could have easily fronted a metal band as heavy as Slayer.

[@corv989]

It would be something like soul metal

[@hevykevy316]

Can't stop listening to this. The "Induction, destruction, Who wants to die?" bit is the most metal thing I've heard in a long time.

[@BillMcClintockMashups]

I love that part

@@BillMcClintockMashups, check out the 2:08 part where the guy in green is pop-locking and moshing. You outdid yourself with this. BADASS. Good job, bro.

[@thewindowsmaaane]

The shriek as the riff kicks in goes pretty well

[@MattHudson]

When a mash-up becomes greater than the sum of its parts!

[@grilledspaghetti]

His "Staying a Holla back Girl" is that for me as well. Dislike both of the originals, love the mashup.

[@Phobos11]

This does not happen out of luck. This is magic. This is art. This is passion. I wish a long and prosperous life to this man.

[@ArtiomNeganov]

Precisely. I was idly watching some funny mashups when came across this one. It's just genius!

[@ElronHumpperdink]

Yes... and he’s not just messing around (100% of the time that is), he’s hearing parts to the whole and purposely creating an alternative to the Gestalt (parts are greater than the whole) cause he makes them feel as one. PS, this music video hits hard, too.

[@cyberdelicxp9125]

This is so powerful. The way the Vietnam footage hard cuts to modern war footage. This might be the greatest protest song technically possible

[@MRPERFECT_79]

NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL A WAR ENSEMBLE!!!

[@BRO77TX]

Jason Lee best comment on this thread!!

[@madkhaliqfarhan]

This should be the official "Call of Duty" song!

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

Hell yeah 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@charlesharter3068]

This version blows both original songs out of the water. It's scary good

[@uf9309]

Yes. Usually I laugh watching these mash up videos but tho one I was jamming hard. Seriously incredible song!

[@xTheOxx]

I've watched this about 50 times now and I've come to a very important conclusion: people attending thrash metal shows need to do more soul-train-type dancing.

[@BirdTalk13]

I concur!

[@dananorth895]

Less mosh pit....more soul train!

[@dannycheesums]

I saw something close to this once - at Hellfest in France I went to see Cannibal Corpse, and there were two girls dressed as fairies who knew the words to every song, dancing and body popping on a raised level inside the lighting/effects station in the middle of the arena. They might be the coolest girls I’ve ever seen

[@jacktraveller8290]

I bet Edwin Starr would have actually appreciated this. The music really lends itself to the underlying horror in his song's message. Good work.

[@Gdub52o]

Absolutely. The chaos of war is manifested is this mashup

[@Cindee-Schnitman]

Besides this being absolutely amazing can we just recognize how beautiful Tom’s hair is? Slayer on Soul Train 🚂 I fucking love it. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@kahwigulum]

I didn't know Soul Train hosted mosh pits.

[@MrJeezus]

Brother, Soul Train was no joke. You get in the line, get ready to slam.

[@joebrito3192]

look up soul train to rage against the machine and they were moshing the entire time we just never knew

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Bill McClintock is the best artist of the decade. That should be on a t-shirt somewhere.

[@wOhst]

Is there Merch somewhere?

[@bait3027]

Bill, you’re truly making people realize that music has no “categories” or “genres”. Keep enlightening the masses!

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Dissolving musical barriers will not stop black people getting killed by racist white people. Music will not enlighten society.

[@jameshill5621]

Slayer need to do this live with Edwin Starr as a projection. It’s just brilliant!

[@southwestshelly]

that was metal! well done. I had no idea Edwin Starr would be such a good frontman for Slayer.

[@rodneynoble6046]

Star's lyrics with Slayers riff are deep and visceral AF! It gives greater meaning to both songs! WELL DONE SIR!!!

[@jameshill4911]

This is really brilliant. The metal accents Starr’s message perfectly signed, sealed and delivered by his amazing voice...

[@richardharrold9736]

1:33 he sounds so like Araya, it's uncanny...

[@mikeyn9359]

0:28 when the drums synched to the assualt rifle firing... THAT'S when I decided to donate. Bravo, sir.

[@bobby_greene]

With the tempo changing so much, this seems like it must have been a pain in the ass to edit. Very well done.

[@bobby_greene]

It goes from around 115 BPM to around 130 BPM several times. Also it feels like this change is spread out over a few measures, and that makes it harder to combine another song into it.

[@BillMcClintockMashups]

That was a bit of a pain. The real challenge with this one was to change the rhythms of the vocals in some places to make them fit. At some points, there was too much syncopation and the rhythms were a bit too "loose."

[@cyberdelicxp9125]

@Jeff Rogers lol...u nasty

[@HunterVex.]

@@BillMcClintockMashups you absolutely nailed it! Perfection👌

[@ardennes3016]

Dude this guys voice over the riff literally adds a new level of excitement I haven't had from other metal experiences, Soul Metal is the future of rock

[@arkwill14]

Of all the masterful mashup's Bill has done - I think this one wins the award for the best thematically matched combination.

[@luisramos1609]

This is awesome. Edwin Starr was a closet headbanger all along.

Absolutely true story...I accidentally found your channel because i fell asleep on my wireless keyboard in my bed hitting random keys as i was rolling on top of it and was somehow awoken to Ratt and "I heard it through the grapevine". I thought i was dreaming but then i got up to see what was going on and there it was and now i am commenting on this one because i went down the rabbit hole. To me the cherry on top is that you do video to go along with the new audio creations. Absolutely outstanding! Liked and subscribed

Edwin Starr - what a voice! War has been one of my favourite songs since I was a kid, and even though I am a fan of punk / metal I love the old soul songs, especially those from the "psychedelic soul" period when the songs got longer and the lyrics were about war / drugs / environment etc.

I've always been a huge fan of classic rock, metal, funk and soul, and Bill's mashups have been giving me eargasm all night, and this one is definitely best of the best. I have put this one on repeat for literally six times so far and I still want to keep listening. Bill, I gotta say, you're better than Wax Audio, LobsterDust, Isosine, MadMixMustang, Go Home Production... You are a true mashup artist and please keep up the good work. Thank you!
