Making of Guitar Hero: Metallica

NOTE: I did not make any of these clips, I just got them from Guitar Hero Metallica Extras. All of the credit goes to the directors who recorded this in the Guitar Hero Studio and UMPG Publishing.
Ever wonder how they make games and animate people into them? Here you go.
1.) The Shortest Straw (Lars Ulrich)
2.) Master of Puppets (James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, with Rob and Lars in background.)
3.) Seek and Destroy (Robert Trujillo).

Basically it would end up like Cyberpunk 2077, far too over ambitious for it's own good, glitchy as hell, and over all just doesn't work.

First off, he has no intro beat to follow, the song just starts up so he had to be lucky just to start on the first beat. Secondly, it's The Shortest Straw, Metallica doesn't play that song very often so I'd understand if he wasn't exactly familiar with every single beat. Thirdly, Metallica plays the song differently live than they did in the studio, that's probably why he fucks up at the end, I don't blame him for that.

Fourthly, Lars Ulrich sucks at drumming and he should be better than this. You know that. I shouldn't have to tell you. He's supposed to be a professional, and he doesn't act like one at all.

This is the game that made me a metallica fan, first time playing ONE in GH3 I failed at the solo but really like the song overall and then years later I found out they had a game and I could play their hit songs. Hearing master of puppets, Enter Sandman even Frantic I knew these guys were total badasses.

Lars learns the tempo in his own songs :D :D

[@Bedocalaway]

You can actually see James’ face going like this during master of puppets haha I love GH Metallica \m/

[@panayiotisantoniou5095]

this video was the reason I learned about Master of Puppets, when I listened to the harmonic part and I loved it

[@squibblez2517]

i played GH Metallica *so* much as a kid. Metallica is still my number 1 band, and I still clearly remember the extra movements and gestures Jaymz does to accentuate the vocals

[@legendarystorm4909]

Their best live performance since the '80!

[@MechaGV]

ok that intro is pretty darn confusing. I don't blame him

[@cameronj6161]

I love how Rob spins like crazy in Seek And Destroy! 🤘🤘🤘

[@J_Riff]

Seeing this James and hearing his old voice at the same time is so trippy

[@bullpup2k394]

Who knew that this would be great practice for Lars 😂

[@walterwhite7325]

Wow those zildjians sound fantastic.

[@MrFlamethrower32]

Its amazing how much money they spent on Guitar Hero when the trend was basically done after GH3 (which was 2007) and is still to this day a fan favorite and what people play all the time on PC/360

[@axemanracing6222]

The guys in the video game actually behave like them originals. It's crystal clear to me but surprises me everytime I come back.

[@43PrcntBurnt]

I’ve always loved that! I don’t know why lol 3:27

[@tinkerfox1663]

I love how James just yells "Master" at the camera

[@sammers152]

It's nice to see that they had some other use for the drums from St. Anger

[@mikebrown2948]

FRIKIN AWESOME

[@Chewbaccafruit]

5:22 Kirk is all 'this is so fucking stupid' lmao

[@hasahchan4775]

He played a stringless guitar with a pick.😂

[@DScottWhitaker]

I thought James was singing MOP and not lip synching at first. I was like... dayumm he sounds amazing...LOL Thanks for loading btw. Pretty cool process. The Shortest Straw is possibly the best song ever recorded by Metallica in my opinion. The Justice record is easily my favorite by them followed by MOP and RTL. I wish they would have accented Jason's bass on the record a bit more though. I think it would have made it more dynamic than it already was if they had. After Justice the next good hard, kick your teeth in type of a record by them was Death Magnetic and that is one hell of a dry spell. The Loads or St. Anger just did not appeal to me with the exception of a couple of songs. Devils Dance off of one of the Loads comes to mind as one truly creative song. Please all do remember this is just an opinion which means absolutely zilch.

[@ssnrb3444]

Somehow. I always Come back to this video

[@MayDay14000]
