LYRICS:
[Intro]
NO!!!
[Verse]
Saint anger 'round my neck
Saint anger 'round my neck
He never gets respect
Saint anger 'round my neck
[Pre-chorus]
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Chains anchor down my neck
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Keep calm and keep in check
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Chains anchor down my neck
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Keep calm and genuflect
[Chorus]
Fuck it all and no regrets
I shine the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets
I shine the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I'll hang myself
Saint anger 'round my neck
[Verse]
Dog's collar bound by sect
Dog's collar bound by sect
These underground rejects
Dog's collar bound by sect
[Pre-chorus]
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Chains anchor down my neck
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Keep calm and keep in check
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Hail kings who crown defects
(You bust it out, you bust it out)
Feed young ones to the dead
[Chorus]
Fuck it all and no regrets
I shine the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets
I shine the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I'll hang myself
An anchor 'round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earthquake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
[Build-up]
Well, I need my anger to be healthy
And I need my anger to be seen
And I need my anger not for prestige
'Cause I need my anger to be me
And I need to set my anger free
And I need to set my anger free
SET IT FREE!!!
[Guitar solo: Leyland Reid]
[Guitar solo: X]
[Chorus]
Fuck it all and no regrets
I shine the lights on these dark sets
I need a voice to let myself
To let myself go free
Fuck it all and fuckin' no regrets
I shine the lights on these dark sets
Medallion noose, I'll hang myself
An anchor 'round my neck
I feel my world shake
Like an earthquake
Hard to see clear
Is it me? Is it fear?
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you
I'm madly in anger with you

I'm one of the few people who actually liked st. anger is seems, but holy shit this version is lit af.

[@snake7156]

I love it, whole album would have been great if better mixed and no bean can drums lol The Unnamed Feeling is my favorite

[@hydro0759]

Yeah, The mixing could have been better but The Unnamed Feeling, Some Kind of Monster and Sweet Amber(my favourite) rock!

[@JaviSantacruzTheBrand]

I kinda hate the album when it came out. Now I love it.

[@iplyrunescape305]

And seemingly we are the few that love it for what it is. No solo, and love the "tin pot" of a snare. It's supposed to be messy, like how Metallica first started out. Garage sounding-ass music. Natural and raw.

[@rustlerv6549]

Ah, A true brother of the St. Anger community.

[@chaospoet]

This proves a point I've been saying for years now: The song is a really good song, it was just recorded terribly.

[@damianfunes6674]

The song has a very good intro riff, but this version is a trash song!!

[@DANOZXZ]

[@MetallicaKing48]

@@damianfunes6674 The whole album of St. Anger was trashed all while during Metallica’s bullshit with Napster, saying they want money, not listeners.

[@virgomunoz]

YES

[@jesswise8680]

I think Metallica did that on purpose for whatever reason

[@L_S_23]

If st anger actually got released like this, easily would of been a classic

[@paulgronner]

My dudes, can you just re-do the whole album, please?

[@petervargo1696]

If the whole album sounded like this then I wouldn't pretend it doesn't exist. You guys should cover the whole album, kinda like how Dream Theater did with Master of Puppets.

[@Manimal_Official]

Idk why I made the connection, but the bassist was in the "Metal screaming doesn't take talent" video I'm almost certain, I just recognized him immediately

Yup, that's him!

[@tieracushman7050]

And hes fukn talented. This band deserves whatever they want or need.

[@ben1ben]

[@MetallicaKing48]

Jared Dines should sponsor them. lol

[@xxxler8985]

He should def be the main. His scream was so clean

[@biomech2374]

Gürschach have taken the skeleton of the original St. Anger and fleshed it out into the full-blown beast is was always meant to be. Outstanding work, guys!

Thank you so much! That was exactly what we wanted to do from the start!

[@jesswise8680]

Yes they did! They crushed it!

[@alfiesyahrilanewar673]

Wiseman once said, because this song was originally released by metallica, it got backlashes from top to down, but if some unknown band released it, pretty sure it will become their breakthrough… this shows how powerful metallica are

[@cringecentral_]

No, it’s just that this cover is just so much better than the original

[@DarkReturns1]

Seriously...how is this not blowing up!? I feel compelled to share this with the world, especially Metallica fans. Phenomenal job here guys.

We haven't even started advertising the song yet. This is all just from our own fans and the wonderful people over at Alex Hefner's channel. It's crazy to think it's even gotten this far from that alone!

[@DarkReturns1]

@ it's crazy to think how far you guys will go lol! Really been enjoying your music lately, makes me wanna play guitar (mine is broken atm 😣)

[@DarkReturns1]

@ Alex is awesome btw!

[@MohamedAkhbar]

Its abit dangerous for you guys to promo this up as an official track. Metallica is still around and Lars can be the cause of lawsuit. Nevertheless, this is total badass. Love it

[@metalicass2003]

"Chains anchor down my neck " is a brilliant lyric (like a wordplay almost because of how similar it sounds to "Saint anger round my neck") that I could visualize Hetfield himself writing. And now I wish he had and I'll sing this whenever I hear the original.

[@metfan4l]

Wow the added solos are awesome, the whole thing was great. Good job!

[@ConvD59]

[@ZoniaTV]

Far better than the original. Also incorporating your own style and personalities into it in a way that works very well. Good job, guys.

[@christophertemple8120]

I totally agree. I absolutely love covers where the band makes it feel like their own instead of of a bland cover.

[@ThrashMetallix]

I only know this cover by accidental discovery, but it's a discovery I'm happy to have made. I read an article about why this was made, and how this song was their introduction to Metallica, and in some ways, it was mine as well. To this day, the St. Anger album is an album I can't help but have a soft spot for, despite the glaring issues it can have, so seeing you not only covering the title song, but adding your own touch to make it your own I think is really cool, and I believe the Bay Giants would be proud. Keep thrashing!

[@cedrock56]

i can hardly believe how badass this version is, it's honestly one of my new favorites

[@atlante4368]

AMAZING! you did not just cover St. Anger, but also "wrote an old story with new pages". I am very proud that you kept all the essence of the original song, in addition to making the experience faster and more enjoyable and, on top of that, with an incredible guitar solo! I am sad to hear that 80% of the people who listened to the entire album consider St. Anger to be shit because of the raw production (which was purposeful), the lack of solos and his long length, and never stopped to analyze the meaning of each song and the story behind of St. Anger's making of. you are one of the few who show the world the hidden power of St. Anger. great cover and great video! I wish you success! greetings from Brazil! 🤘

St. Anger is my favourite Metallica album, but you guys really smashed it with this reimagining! The musical variation and the addition of new lyrics really adds a new touch to it. I love the original, of course, but you can bet your arse I'll come back to this one every now and then. P.S. The badass Alex Hefner brought me here 😁

Thank you so much! I'm right there with you, St. Anger was the song that got me into Metallica in the first place! Unfortunately, not many other people even gave it a chance, so I always felt kinda alone in liking it as much as I did. If people needed this version to exist to see the merit in the original version, then I'm glad we did it!

[@greekkidshows9373]

I gave it a chance! I really did MetallicA is the only band that doesn't (didn't) have a song that I hate or even that don't like. I have never pressed skip on a MetallicA song. Load/reload even gave me a new appreciation for pop rock and music in general St anger changed all that!! It didn't have any of the attributes that made MetallicA MetallicA They were a completely new band to me! You made that song sound the way it should have originally Your version is the MetallicA version MetallicA sounds like the cover band It's hard to get that sound right, so much that MetallicA can't seem to get it anymore I have missed the MetallicA sound Thnx for bringing it back! 🤘 RockoN 🤘

[@greekkidshows9373]

@ I also thought that "death magnetic" wasn't 100% either It has a great MetallicA sound but it's like it's mashed together. MetallicA stands for "music perfection". It needs that little something I just picked up a guitar I hope I will play as good as you some day 🤘 RockoN 🤘
