Its floating through the never until the moment it fades to black

[@joejoe19976]

that was pretty cool with the switching guitar effect.

[@jonaskilucaski]

Fuck it!

[@Tom-dx1tv]

I love how you don't ramble on about "hey guys thanks for subscribing blah blah blah" Just straight up amazing metal covers without the narcissism.

[@Drzpapigio14]

+Thomas Noonan whats wrong with showing appreciation?

[@Tom-dx1tv]

+Drzpapigio14 Some people are a little smug with their videos. "swanthewhitepig" knows people come to his videos to see guitar covers, not to hear him ramble.

[@alenkatopolovecvirant2455]

Subscribers are the real battery here haha

[@alenkatopolovecvirant2455]

also a badass sg sound. the solos take me to metal heaven

[@PatTheRipper-zb7oj]

Facts

[@SmertMC]

That flip earned you a sub

[@TheSwedishUploader]

That was the most kickass guitar flip I've ever fucking seen

[@jasonfella265]

I know, how the hell did he do that?? Some video trickery going on there haha

[@felixg12]

Jason Fella no video trickery there that's real magic. Lol this guy is good holy crap Ive watched all his vids wow.

[@varan9595]

0:39 sacrificed his acoustic to summon an electric from the heavens

[@arthurgabriel4325]

_"iT'S fROm hEeEelL"_

[@javi5810]

Love how James does these insane rhythms while singing the whole song

[@MetallicaLiveHD]

Holy damn. Amazing cover, man.

[@kangaroofoot]

You, sir, are One Blackened Horseman musician with No Remorse. In other words, you are the Hero Of The Day of Metallica covers because of your Jump-In-The-Fire Attitude. The Struggle Within most people is that they wait for The Day That Never Comes to record their progress but their Battery runs out, leaving them Frantic with their musical talents Trapped Under Ice. Sad But True. While most people's chances tend to Escape, I salute you for Fighting Fire With Fire. Keep Killing Them All until you get to The End Of The Line.

[@zackjakosh]

Like the way you included songs and lines from Metallica.

[@kangaroofoot]

Recognition from one good Metallica fan to another. Cheers.

[@zXIPsychox]

He just does it as if Nothing Else Matters to him. It's amazing.

[@TheWARCREATER]

I almost reached the frayed ends of sanity reading your comment

[@turolretar]

Well I guess you can say this guy is a real King Nothing

[@Gamer9A]

The guitar flip...the playing....I can confirm that this man is a magician

[@shiramizrachi5838]

It’s true. I was the guitar

[@YMSHE]

What makes me sad is that he gets less than half of the views than when a hot chick does the easiest song ever. Especially with this picking hands. Wow man, just wow. I wish to be like you one day. Rock on \m/

[@silenc9]

Jaymz Hetfield agree

[@oursweetboys]

Jaymz Hetfield IKR

[@arayashazwan6345]

We all love boobs dudes that's why. Those chicks might hit million of viewers and will remain in my history list as long i didn't erased it ( I am married man) but this kind of talent earn my subs, my likes and I save it as my favorite.

[@juanl8115]

Music isn't about difficulty, just quality

[@slly3684]

and boobs if your jess greenberg

[@RafaelPSchaefer]

hey! awesome guitar change!

[@MarkinixOne1988]

0:39 jajajja good!!

[@mrratchet]

I need that acoustic guitar, the one that when you spin it, it becomes a Gibson SG!

[@Jeb4100]

me too

[@papizzi]

I love this part of the solo so much 3:41

[@oursweetboys]

I just tried this song and my guitar hung itself with its own strings.

[@fokkwasabi]

HAHAHAHA XDD

faaakk man i laugh so hard😅

[@sallaity7999]

[@lilianalamela5820]

God you are so noob?

[@roketonkun]

Finally, someone who does it at the real tempo

[@kylerollins6483]

love your transition between acoustic and electric lol

[@Taylorx86]

Favorite metallica song, not favorite metal song tho, but played with my personal preference of guitar type, gibson SG.

[@lmbtcs1879]

sg for life

[@cannonfodder4507]

SGs for the win!

[@AlejandroEOTF]

I like the gibson sg but in my opion i prefer Gibson explorer

[@E6ABHnavy]

This song changed my life. Growing up in the 90s I didn’t know 80s Metallica so I assumed it was all late 90s garbage. In 2016 I bought master of puppets from Walmart for $5… when battery started playing I said out loud to myself in the car “ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, THIS is Metallica that I have been missing out on????!?!?” New appreciation and respect for the band and Hetfield especially… these riffs AND singing? Fuckin A dude.

[@F_Bardamu]

You're probably the best Metallica guitar player out there, and unquestionably my favorite one.

[@Jeb4100]

definitely one of the Metallica players of all time

[@piacere_lore]

That guitar change was the icing on the cake

[@John-ho4tv]

Battery is one of the sickest fkn songs ever made. Brutal powerhouse of a song. Very nice on the guitar work there.

[@HECKproductions]

0:42 that was awesome and nice job doing the intro on one guitar with loop machine

[@kwertykwantum1111]

1% of the comments = Excellent guitar playing 99% = cool guitar effect

[@wanik4]

The reason James Hetfield is a GOD: He wrote songs like this. He downpicks songs like this with ease. He sings and plays songs he wrote like this with ease. Triple whammy.

[@ДанилШалимов-п6е]

you cant downpick that song even if you are James Hetfield or Paul Gilbert , its gallop song

[@jamesheiman1602]

Downpicking Battery is inhuman wtf

[@mouadgranderson9618]

Those are gallops. You can't do it by downpicking.

[@josh18230]

Tremolo picked.

[@mel03ost]

WIth ease? lol, he sometimes alternate picks master of puppets live so no and u can't FUCKIUGN DOWNPICK GALLOPS.

[@Diego_Lemon16]

I don’t know how the hell James sings this, plays it on guitar and keeps perfect timing all at the same time. But holy shit, is it something I wanna achieve one day 🤘

[@mrbarnev]

How does one play this and sing at the same time is something I will never understand. Great job, man.

[@vishalsheth1888]

The guitar change was insanely cool,awesome cover! But how does James play that and sing too?

[@lip9297]

he got talent man...

[@mangotango6877]

Muscle memory

[@dermilos.6930]

@@mangotango6877 good point it is really that easy, like holy wars, you just have to play it a million times until it’s natural

[@shiramizrachi5838]

Talent. It’s not easy at first but you get there eventually. Just practice until it’s muscle memory

[@bashik1533]

И всю эту партию тащит тот, кто ещё и поёт. Джеймс-ты лучший!

[@georgejimenez4396]

5 years ago this was uploaded and I’m just seeing it, you’re a beast bro 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

OMG Congratulations my Friend

[@gurlerium]

0:39 f**** great :))))) awesome

[@ramonhernandez3812]

I can barely play this song, but yet he was able to do it while singing at the same time. James is a GOAT

[@jeshyy9894]

That guitar change gave me goosebumps

[@larsulrock9017]

You literally make the best metallica covers

[@lip9297]

Dude that solo is just..🔥🔥🔥

[@aymanmannan6661]

Beautiful intro, amazing riffs - excellent cover! Guitar change was pretty cool

[@msurff1]

This is a legit cover. One of the hardest cover to do... doing the gallop right. Kudos.

[@EricDenny]

Great job bro! One of the first times I've seen someone (besides myself, obviously) actually pull off this song CORRECTLY at full speed! Great tone also.

[@stephengreico2810]

HOLY SHIT MAN!!!! THAT TRANSITION

[@MichaelTux]

Tone is just killer 🤟🏼

That guitar change was fucking amazing

[@kiro7956]

0:39 WHOAAA Awesome man! The guitar cover as well!

[@bostion518]

This one of the most fun Songs to play on the guitar. Once I got the main riff downIi just couldnt stop playing lol. Awesome cover it sounds pretty much exactly like the Album! Im still stuck on the solo :(

[@jeffkerr807]

Mr. Swanthewhitepig, you are awesome. Every comment praises your amazing covers. There are quite a few of us that could play those rhythms but very few who could nail all those solos. It is a pleasure watching you play. Only one question- why dont you ever respond to your many fans. Many of them like you more than they like Kirk. Keep em coming. Tks.

[@mazklassa9338]

And the guitar drop/edit was also amazing too!

[@KyleiMae]

Next lead guitarist for Metallica right there

[@RT88414]

We better go looking for swan

[@Vampboi666]

Here's the lyrics: Lashing out the action Returning a reaction Weak are ripped and torn away Hypnotizing power Crushing all that cower Battery is here to stay Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Battery Crushing all deceivers Mashing non-believers Never ending potency Hungry violence seeker Feeding off the weaker Breeding on insanity Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Battery Circle of destruction Hammer comes crushing Powerhouse of energy Whipping up a fury Dominating flurry We create the battery Smashing through the boundaries Lunacy has found me Cannot stop the battery Pounding out aggression Turns into obsession Cannot kill the battery Cannot kill the family Battery is found in me Battery Battery Battery Battery

[@GarryGnu]

Haha damn! Cool guitar switch. Wasn't expecting that.

[@johndelacruz1050]

my family always jokes about this song and says "Zachary" instead of battery cause that's my name so therefore this is my fav metallica song and you killed it

[@epicscores8421]

Amazing guitar sound,this is a good guitarist who dont need 10/10 gain and distortion to perform good.
