This is the coolest men at work cover. Do overkill its like one of their most famous songs.

[@horizon5761]

As a Australian, I thank you for this cover of our national anthem

[@Asgairsson]

I used to think it's "Great Southern Land"? And here we are with the next proposal.

[@allan-shephard]

As a fellow Aussie, I support this comment and song 😂

[@robwallis1277]

I agree. 🇭🇲

[@freshpootube]

This should on the setlist of every pub band.

Spot on mate!! I’ve found a new fav version now! Love the vibe when it comes on in a pub on a scorching Aussie summer day.

The problem with the music I grew up with is I've heard a million times. You make the music I love new again. You're awesome!

[@soulknight5330]

I always thought that Down Under had an amazing chord progression that needs exploring. This is precisely the kind of exploring I was thinking of.

[@matthewfinger2381]

Makes sense because B minor is the best key

[@defenestrated23]

"needs exploring"? the chorus is I-V-vi-IV, aka the Axis progression, aka the most common pop progression ever. The i-VI-VII on the verse is neat though

[@TheKingSalty]

What really makes this a solid Metallica cover is the use of "Agh" after the end of each verse.

[@stevewelsh__]

You have done our national anthem a wonderful service thank you sir. 🦘

[@moonicproductions]

Haha thanks Steve!

[@dave7794]

You rock man !🤘 It's amazing how you play it like it was a Metallica song since the beginning. Also, thank you so much for the Lars Ulrich imitation 🙏

[@dedeeprice6560]

You know the funniest thing is. Most of those first albums and the guitar work were not done my metallica The singer of megadeth was the one that wrote the first five albums Dave mustain But not very many people know that

[@dave7794]

@@dedeeprice6560 I know. It's partly true though. Dave Mustaine told that he left the band/was fired (this point's not really clear : Let's agree that we disagree, like they say). What's clear is that he wrote a great part of the guitar riffs, and asked the band not to use this material... which they did, with Kirk Hammett re-recording the riffs. Sad but true 🤘

[@automotiverenderings]

Loving the drum setup bit 😂

[@AliciatheCho]

Damn man you really nail these different artists’ music styles. The accuracy

[@silentrob668]

I've seen Aussie metal bands play those 80s Australian hits live, always good to hear in between the angry doom and gloom. This one really nailed that Kill em all sound from the same decade.

[@strohundso]

Although it's cleary the "...And Justice For All" sound, if you ask me. There is a famous mashup with the "Down Under" instrumental and James' vocals for "One", and I think this here is a reference to that, the other way around.

This guy is INSANE!!! Just LOVE IT!!! He needs to join some of these metal bands concerts as a cover band and do these redone songs as a tribute. I'm sure the crowd would love it!

[@belanagy5595]

Perfect as always, but the funniest part was after music ended - the situation in Metallica studio when they start arguing each other - imitating Lars' face expression, and his accent was just hilarious!

[@allan-shephard]

As an Aussie, I fully appreciate this version of a song I didn't know I really really needed in my life. Until right now. Congrats man. It's awesome. I also like the way you've turned the Fireman back into an Iceman. 😁 Colin Hay, James Hetfield and Paul Gilbert really need to see this video.

[@Sharkman1963]

Brilliant, but needed a bit more "Yeah".

[@andrewpappas9311]

Loved the opening bit, man, that was absolutely hilarious and killing the covers as always

[@bacon_sammich2845]

Your covers are so well done, and your ability to mimic all these different metal singers is extremely impressive, but what really pushes them all the way over the edge is that your covers are actually genuinely good songs I would listen to on their own

[@Muldaak]

Ok that's it, we need to find you a time chamber. That way you can step into it, spend a week in there, make a video, and come out a day later for us. That way we can have a new video everyday! I could watch you everyday easy man, you're amazing!

[@traviscutler9912]

I love how the album art conveys the Metallica era as well. Damn!!!!

[@arc7375]
