I already have a balls trimmer.

[@adamc780]

I love how Battery is just Battery

[@laviedevantsoi2322]

😂

[@fakepaleva]

Is Deathmetal already?) But does it dj...oups, wrong channel

[@George_K.]

Lol, the riffage is just too busy and chord heavy to be somehow different. Although the drums in the video have a really heavy sound, but the drumming style was pretty uninspiring... I guess that's to be expected, haha

[@ximbas7294]

Melancholy Pessimism did a death metal cover of Battery. Look it up, it's actually pretty great

[@pearljaime2]

Downtuned

[@jmustang2000]

That fuel riff is 1 pick scrap away from being a Gojira riff 😂😂. Love it.

[@xenonvinc]

Sounded like Skinless

[@weaponizedestrogen]

too low tuned for goj

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

Yeah, add pick scrape and you have Gojira. Also Sad but True sounds similar.

[@maidentallica]

The Memory Remains sounding kinda Carcass-esque is not something I thought I needed in my life

[@Farvann]

Am I the only one who wants to know how you mix the songs? You got the best sounding recordings of all the channels I follow. Massive! A video on that topic would be very interesting!

[@witchwilldie]

Hello Farvann

[@xenonvinc]

Yes, Bruder

[@alnikur87]

Wow, SUDDENLY Farvann :)

[@IrlylikeInFlames]

Hello Farvann, you have Pete to thank for him re-exposing me to black metal with his 1 Riff 20 Bands series, which eventually led me to subscribe to your channel.

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

I'd love to hear one of these as a full song with vocals. I don't care which, they're all great 🤘🏻

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

@Acid Bong I'm familiar with that cover 🤘🏻

[@awguitarroom8033]

Need a full cover of Fuel and Sad But True. So heavy

[@002nl]

Battery reminds me of Suffocation for some reason. Awesome stuff Pete! 🤘🏻

[@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303]

I think it's the hardcore punk influence

[@nsiepmann]

Did not realise this is exactly what I needed today - sometimes there's just no substitute for chunky low-tuned riffing

[@dan.miller35]

Wow. Awesome vid. Some of the faster original songs didn't change too much but what you did with the 90's stuff like Fuel and Memory Remains were awesome.

[@contra009]

Phrygian dominant death metal. I'm into it

[@fabioazevedo4671]

His take on Sad but true is so much alike Eaten by Bloodbath 🤘

[@MarkArandjus]

All this video managed to do is further convince me that Battery is one of the greatest metal songs ever written. It just works.

[@Jooonzi]

That Sad But True mix goes absolutely bonkers hard

[@disidenciatotal]

Maestro, excelente toque, saludos desde Colombia, Sur América.

[@MrMaksVolkov]

Yeah! This variation of "creeping death" is what Metallica should be!

[@gondorcin]

Would be great if you could do a full version of Battery or Damage Inc. in this style. I would love to do some vocals for this

[@evvldvrk1music-official]

I'm pretty sure the entire Master Of Puppets album would sound awesome in death metal style. only Sanitarium would require some creativity IMO

[@abunai.j]

No word of a lie, Metallica should play that version of Fuel live. What a killer take on that song...

[@Kjorn90]

Sad but True - excellent melodeath

[@PhilippeArantesTina]

Man... I can feel the arm pain just by watching you playing 😂

[@didi_abdillah]

you forgot to put Fight Fire WIth Fire because the original riff basically Death Metal-ish

[@DrawMan321]

Yeah, as I remember there are some live recordings of that song where James actually almost growls in the verses

[@SlyHikari03]

Damage inc was pretty nice. Sad but true kinda sounds like Bolt Thrower but slower.

[@Malc664]

You're from another planet mate. No one inspires me more, plays great music as you, and remains humble as one could. Thank you for the entertainment and inspiration, it keeps me going. ❤❤👌🏼👌🏼

[@Arcanum_Letalis]

I remember watching videos where somebody low tuned metallica...and it sounded AWFUL everytime. It is fun to see that the actual way to do it, was to translate them into a different genre, not just low tuned them. I loved how they sounded in death metal. Another fun finding is to see how Sad But True, the heaviest riff ever (disagree? cry me a river), is not so anymore if moved to another genre!

[@DiminishingAugmentation]

Would've loved to hear Dyer's Eve and Fight Fire With Fire.

[@Paroketh]

listen to the cover of Fight fire with fire by Vader then 😉

[@calebbean1384]

@@Paroketh revocation has a cover of Dyers Eve

[@JoshAllen17Goated]

Dyers Eve is just death metal on its own.

[@atharvadeogirkar1926]

Damage Inc sounds awesome!

[@bruno_gatti]

Fuel sounds sooo much like Cannibal Corpse it’s crazy

[@routeshell]

Yeah, would definitely listen to that :) Great performance as always mate!

[@xCreepyKidsx]

I think Creeping Death would sound sick slowed up and groovy as Doom Metal

[@FelipeGruberTV]

AWESOME!!

[@DustinPlatt]

I can't even pick a favorite one since they're all awesome.

[@santinocolombo308]

The memory remains sounds like something straight out of heartwork

[@JakeyBaby6]

Just saw them at Download!!!! Perfect timing!

[@BA99253]

Fuel was dope. So was sad but true.

[@stevenlx4120]

Excellent Pete ! You make metallica riffs sound like modern metal ! (but Lars Ulrich should have 2 legs and arms more to be able to play the drums you've used)

[@0replica0]

solid riffage as always! I felt like that creeping death workover had a few points where a pinch harmonic would have made it even sicker.

[@rawkthecasbah]

Battery became grindcore!

[@Admiral_Bongo]

Needs more blast beats.

[@peteplaysmusic]

I’ll hit up Samus and ask him for more haha :)

[@MsMiDC]

​@@peteplaysmusic lol now im just imagining Samus from Metroid casually violating a poor drumset.

[@ERey55]

The Memory Remains could be in Swansong easily

[@Mr.Goldbar]

Creeping Death: Necrophagist Fuel: new Cannibal Corpse Battery: Altars Of Madness era Morbid Angel Sad But True: Bloodbath or The Bleeding era Cannibal Corpse The Memory Remains: Arch Enemy Damage Inc: Morbid Angel again

[@Sam_336]

I can just hear corpse grinder belching out the lyrics in my head

[@123slowdown]

Not that it matters, but being an old guy and knowing some people from the death metal scene at the time, by the time Master of Puppets was done and And Justice for All had come out, there was a question of 'it's this borderline death metal now?'. Metallica was almost entry level stuff to bands like via Sepultura and Sodom to Entombed and Deicide. I still think the first Onslaught album was the first death metal album, despite it being filed under 'thrash' for another strange, but maybe valid point in 'heavy music' history.

[@Felenari]

All of these smack so hard. Full cover pretty Plz?

[@ayyveezee2079]

Notice Pete C right hand, on point.

[@silencest]

Dude, your sound is pure cool!!!! Thanks 😊

[@johnyoung4441]

The Sad But True mix genuinely sounded like something Bloodbath would write

[@lukasznowosielski]

This shit goes hard

[@qazws321]

By pasting together these different songs it actually sounds like a death metal composition.

[@marcoferrandi6191]

Always amazed by your arrangments! You're the rhythm guitar king

[@duckfluff]

damage inc is a great fit for this

[@empressofmadness]

amazing job! pete if you've ever worried about being good enough you are. the writing and playing and mixing is just

[@MrSslam]

Absolute fire. You are a moster on the axe🤟🖤

[@jmaaybraak]

Holy shit man...so much respect for that. U absolutely nailed such a great fucking sound with every one of ur adaptations. Well done and cheers to u! 🤘

[@davedavem]

Brewtalica sounds like an awesome beer festival!

[@sohpol]

Damn! That's exactly the death metal riffing that I love! Awesome!

[@shubhamraj9495]

Crazy 🤯

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

I was hoping to hear st anger and the clangy snare in a blast beat.

[@jangcop6790]

Those licks are great

[@zerothahero00]

So Metallica with Gene Hoglan at drums. Nice.

[@champion6534]

Nice

[@frenchicarus]

Damage Inc..,.😍 It work amazing🤯

[@josearellano3268]

This sounds 1000x way better 😮 make full covers .!

[@Metallicainjection]

Fuel sounds so brutal. Sounds like evil and raw death metal

[@apina2]

Almost 1/4 of this video is a sponsor segment :D that's next level. Big recommendation to SponsorBlock browser extension

[@qualekk]

Memory Remains me of old school KSE a bit.

[@Ali-tz9mw]

You killed it🔥

[@TheHitmann069]

Nicely done mate 👍🏻👏🏻🙏♥️

[@GoofyGato]

low tuned a# power chords chugs just hits different

[@Tankernkids1369]

Back in the 90's there was "the blackest albums" 1, 2 and 3. They were suppose to be metal covers of metallica songs. Instead they turned put to be crap. This is what I expected out of them. Atleast almost 30 years later I got a glimpse of what it was suppose to sound like🤘🤘🤘

[@BERZERKKITTENZ]

I wanna learn how to play like you, I need some kind of guidance or tips on where to take my guitar playing. Amazing video

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Check out Martin Goulding and his Last Licks series that he did for Guitar World. He was my teacher and taught me everything I know :)

[@Dm3qXY]

Fuel sounds like the inspiration for this whole video

[@MikeLtm32]

I like the idea of combining CC with 'Tallica. Nice.

[@THE-rk3hx]

01:48 God Of Emptyness

[@idkwhattocallthisaccount9660]

I always thought For Whom The Bell Tolls would sound cool in the style of Bolt Thrower.

[@olekacf4029]

So Death Metal Metallica (Death Metallica, if you will) is basically Revocation. Gotcha.

[@jav6665]

Right hand dominance 🤘🏻👌🏼

[@Durkhead]

You should check out between the buried and me cover of blackened

[@henrydycha9379]

Inspirational

[@jirosaves_theworld]

if not seeing title the only riff i recognize are only Battery lol really brutal riff!! oof!!

[@apocalypseARK]

Would kill for a full The Memory Remains death metal cover !

[@uwvadertje]

pure genius!!!1

[@naosei6719]

Fuel its just Cannibal Corpse

[@wibrys666]

creeping fuel and damage are my favs 🤘👿🤘

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

"Death Metallized" Battery slaps

[@tibi1687]

Dude all the respect and admiration for your work! I've been watching you since your apex videos. But now seriously dude! You should pursue your own stuff. This content is overdone. Yes all bands can be done in the style of other bands. You have so much potential and skill in your own identity. Your music was so good that it made me listen to it on repeat. and i still get on your channel, to this day, to listen to your music from those old vids. I think you should take a risk and change this safe style of content to a more YOU.

[@danosper2953]

BRUTALLICA!!!, Metallica's best hits in Death Metal. Its a thing and we all want to hear it. Mate, this is by far one of the coolest guitar vids I've seen in ages. Lars won't agree but make the album anyway, PLEASE. Some serious Cannibal Corpse vibes in there and some Entombed. Who would have thought. Metallica could have stated in Sweden.

[@S133S]

Sad but true = "Eaten" by Bloodbath, nice!

[@108Not]

Love your metallica covers, man! You have to record LP 👍👍👍👍👍

[@seangriffey8669]

The second half of battery sounds like black dahlia murder

[@Redwan_Shishko]

This is so sick!!!! Nice job :D

[@lomovoz7637]

Cool

[@eldadvg]

Creeping death and fuel were really sick, battery, sad but true and the memory remains were meh, damage inc was also good. The first two were sick though

[@m1_garandmaster541]

Pete as in how does one acquire a PC beanie???? Been watching your channel and have been wanting one for a while.

[@megatop412]

Well done dude. If this actually happened, and Metallica re-recorded those songs to sound like this, I would know that I was no longer alive and living in the world I grew up in, but in a new, wonderful world devoid of all the things I have had to get used to living with here- cars with TV screens in them, sitting in the movies with stupid people looking at their phones, autotuned music, those really aggressive mosquitos with the white stripes on them, etc.

[@cpt_phat_sparrow]

If Metallica were to play death metal, I'd hope they used more of that St. Anger snare.

[@metaldeth166]

That was pretty brOOtal ngl.My favorites were Fuel,Memory Remains and Damage Inc but the others were pretty good too just a bit too similar to the originals. Sad But True riff reminded me of something from Kataklysm.

[@ValentinKotlyarov]

\m/ yeah

[@snow15243]

serious necrot vibes on fuel

[@dogdaysunrise1970]

Damage Inc. ruled!

[@OrlinVasilev]

Sad but true is sooooo good!
