[@JustAnotherRussianDude]

@Derfel Cadarn but Metallica in 1983 creating 'fade to black' wasn't well-known, as far as i remember, they played in bars, gave concerts for small audience. I think, that money and wealth should not be the main goal for people, for artists, but of course we all need them, to provide comfort living conditions. Today, i think, artists in youtube get support through selling ads, merch, not only from selling albums.

As an original fan of Metallica. And I still miss Cliff. You have done this song it's due justice. To the guitar player and the rest of the musicians. You nailed this song note for note.

LYRICS: Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye Goodbye

[@musemusician11235]

The fact that 3 weeks in a row you guys have released songs where there's no vocals for minutes at a time, especially Fade to Black where it's truly predominately instruments, definitely betrays a massive confidence in yourselves and speaks to the strength of the band imo. When bands have an extremely talented singer who's also a captivating "frontman" and they perform and cover a lot of pop, I think it's way easier for a band to struggle and fall apart when pulling away from that strength and crossing genres (and also possible for lots of fans to be turned off even if the quality is good) but unsurprisingly you guys are amazing here. Metallica was also my first concert, so two songs of theirs is a treat. Thanks!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... the only thing some of these heavier covers are missing is for the chains to come off of Audra's vocals and just let her belt. As much as I love 90% of how these songs turn out, every time it hits a moment of real raw, emotional vocals you can see her face hit that in the lip sync, but the recording sound so produced, and downplayed, I feel like we haven't really seen what her voice can do, and that's a bummer. I don't know if it's a confidence thing, or a choice being made by whoever does the mixing, but I just really wanna hear what she sound like when she gets to really lean into something. Still, great work, keep it up... I just hope some day soon we get to see the real power of that voice.

[@pshybysz]

Stop bullshiting. Rock does not need anything. If artist/band is worth it then people will listen to it.

[@JohnSmith-fk3fv]

@@pshybysz you completely missed the point. Yes I guess you can argue rock doesn't "need" anything but if you are actually a real fan and have listened to it for as long as I have (strongly doubt you have) you would agree the ratio of bigger name bands with male lead singers dominate the space as 95%+ of the bands have guy lead singers. It would be nice to have more female led bands as it would bring in more female fans to the genre. In regard to second part, no crap, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be cool if they went more the rock route when they start doing more originals as there are plenty of fans who will get behind female led rock bands. Look at Poppy for example, she gets a lot of fans and they are pushing her on Sirius Octane channel (biggest channel in N. America) as Jose Mangin who is basically the main guy there has 2 daughters and has been advocating the same thing for years, thus trying to push girl led bands into rock. With the said, obviously they need talent, but we are both fans of First To Eleven and agree on the talent part (Especially with their ages in mind) so that point is kind of mute. Hope that clears up any misunderstandings.

[@fufc1231]

[@nGEnigma]

@@JohnSmith-fk3fv Okay, let's go with the rock being ~95+ male vocalists being the front man of the band. Compare Pop vocalists ratio of male:female artists. Could the same argument be presented that more males are "needed" in the pop scene? It would be awesome to see more women in metal, but to go as far as to say they are "needed" is a bit of an overstretch. I have nothing against women in rock/metal, seeing as I'm a huge fan of a multitude of female led bands. In This Moment, Arch Enemy, Jinjer, Unleash the Archers, Nightwish, Both of Lauren Babic's bands, Diamante, Flyleaf and a few others. I'm happy to see them have as much success as they do, but to go as far to say they are needed is a bit...unnecessary. Take into account interests, vocal range, what they are comfortable singing, how they were raised, etc. If a female gets into rock. All the more power to her, she can fucking rock as hard as she wants. I know plenty of females who are fans of metal, rock and punk. It takes a lot to be a vocalist in general, let alone someone who can bring the power, alure and strength to sing in rock or metal. TL;DR: I'd love to see more femal vocalists in rock and metal, but to go as far as to say they are needed is a big leap.

[@fabienmarchand3799]

I love it. The song + Audra's voice + the musicians = amazing cover 🤩🤩🤩

[@jamesbone2256]

Holly Smokes!!!! not only is young lady jaw dropping beautiful her voice is just as beautiful! I came across this band last night when I was searching metal covers of Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone" and they showed up. I was up until 3am listening to them. The entire band is wicked talented! Yall need to come to Texas!!!

First time I ever see someone play Metallica on Telecaster

Kirk had a tele.. he used it on motorbreath

That is a gorgeus Telecaster! I love its sound

[@stuckie3916]

Yeah. Hate it.

[@darenmccormick2115]

Top shelf musicians with great attitudes and a down-to-earth vibe throughout. This is like a breath of fresh air. I give you my highest overall rating....

For many people this is the most important Metallica song and you honoured in such amazing fashion.

[@ravvenvizeon905]

Life it seems will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things aren't what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Can't stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me, can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems, as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye (goodbye)

[@alikanbar4313]

This is one of my favorite Metallica's songs, you just covered perfectly, respects to the guitar player for making the solo notes perfectly! you guys rock, you know? Keep on Rocking, you're crushing it!! really good, I literally got goose bumps

[@muddnichols]

How do people hate this. The band is superb. And vocals knock it out. Thumbs up.

[@phoenixteargaming]

Verse clean guitars are way too soft and get buried, and the verse vocals are kinda bland and void of emotion

[@phoenixteargaming]

Other than that it's pretty good

[@ku70mar]

METALLICA is 4ever....respected for their works all over the WORLD.

[@TheGreatGouki]

I think Ride the Lighting is one of my most listened to albums of all time. And holy shit… the respect you guys put on this song. This might be one of the best Metallica covers I’ve ever heard. And while I’m sure folks have singled out how good every member of the band does here… that bass tone is heavenly. Saying that as a bass player though. 😅

[@bryndentully9235]

Amazing job by guitarist. It takes big balls to cover the solo of Fade to Black.

[@madie6887]

Yall should do Take Your Time Asking Alexandrea or The Pretty Recklsss and is Marilyn Manson something you'd consider?

[@bivianocazares6919]

Enjoyed very much!!! Huge Metallica fan, she didn’t wanna copy James , she made it her own mad respect young lady !!! Rock on

[@BeneratBau]

BRAWO!!! JEST MOC!!!

[@chrisjude8794]

One of my all-time favourite F211 covers. Brilliant. Will never tire of listening to it. 🔥🔥🔥🤘👍👏😃

[@simeonvestly8160]

I've waited so long for this! Fade to Black was the first song i learned on guitar and it has been my favourite song for many years. Awesome cover.

[@johnsoleto5350]

As an old metal head grew up listening to this good to to see great songs live on

[@acguy409]

By far one of your best! Love the dark dark hair! Playing a Telly up in the 20-21 that pure takes grit.

[@davidwelch2791]

When I die I want this song played at my funeral. Because this is the way I feel. Be safe and be 😎

Gezzz, Y’all are freaking getttttting It Done! I was born In 73 and It still brings tears with the intensity of the solo. What an Awesome song by Metallica and what a great job you guys did covering it! That was Awesome!! Great Job ⚡️⚡️

These kids are great, not many bands nowadays make covers of Metallica and those great bands from the 80's. Congratulations guys, Keep it up!

[@rh71]

Check out Scream Inc. - great stuff all around.

[@alvarogabrielaguirregarin3933]

Not many bands? KZbin is filled to overflowing with crappy band doing crappy covers like this. All they need is a half-attractive girl to showcase.

[@jsguzmanv]

@@alvarogabrielaguirregarin3933 Why do you think is crappy? I heard a good production, perfect performance of the instruments, tuned voice. Please master of music, god of musical knowledge, humiliate us with your extensive knowledge, I humbly ask you to enlighten me and tell me where this cover sucks. I'd like to hear an argument from someone as brilliant and notoriously knowledgeable as you.

I revisited this post and if I haven't commented on the guitar work yet I am remiss. Wow, really fabulous guitar on this!! - from Colorado!

[@tomsblood1]

The vocal comes from a different world but understands the message of this song. I believe Cliff appreciates... Good cover!

[@ismaelperez816]

One of the best covers out there. You guys deserve to be million + views for this one. 👏

[@LinkinJoze]

Its so so stupid that some of you want a 19 y.o girl to sing exactly like James, she did a great job if you want the original sound just listen to the original.

[@jibulous1]

Yeah, I mean, Hetfield was like way older than 19 when they released this album. He was almost 21!

[@ontxtteredwxngs]

[@jessebeaudreault7094]

Or don’t be cheap and buy a ticket and go see them live as they still perform my brother and I seen them in 2017 at Gillette Stadium and we are seeing them today as we speak 2024 at Gillette Stadium August 4 and the books

[@yasininn76]

@jessebeaudreault7094 ah yes, let's not be heap, just book a 45 dollar ticket, a 60+ hotel room since they're probably not gonna go to a town near you and the 40+ bucks on gas. I'm talking Europe here, where all dat costs lower than in America.

[@janszafarczyk9986]

I mean… kill’em all James sounded like a 19 y.o girl…

[@jadedjhypsi]

Wow, ya'll f**king KIlled this tune!!!! that solo has me kneeling in your praises.....

Oh my god, when she singed the "to the agony" it went so high and it sounded amazing!!

Metallica fan since 88. Love this! Cliff Burton is definitely smiling down hearing this.

[@briandrake5464]

Excellent! As a fellow Telecaster player, I like how you've proven those old guitars can metal with the rest.

[@andrewkoumis4070]

Man this is produced to high heaven. Those vocals have been corrected like crazy.
