Amaaazing

[@mkavl]

I wanna start playing violin now

[@gtodriver341]

Nailed it note for note. I’m a not-quite-50 year old guy who dabbles with guitar - been playing that solo (badly!) since the ‘80s ...

Hey Thomas, your girl steel the show :P :D ;)

[@user-ii4vn8hw7z]

One of my favorite Metallica songs until my Father committed suicide in 2015. The words are too painful to hear. This allowed me to enjoy this beautiful piece of music once again, though with tears in my eyes. Very well done and thank you for sharing this. R.I.P. Dad. And thank you for buying my first guitar.

[@shelbylover1359]

Damn, that’s actually tough to hear

[@LucasPappasRTO0]

Sorry for your loss! May God rest your father's soul!

[@Pradedushka]

What irresponsibility!! My one did almost the same when I was 14. It was so deep hole my soul felt. But now I’m at his age and I can understand that he was thinking mostly of himself than of his family. Hold on bro

[@pablo0857]

Your dad lives through that guitar of yours mate. Stay blessed:3

[@finalxburden]

So sorry for your lose. My father passed in 2019... the words you've spoken were taken right from my mouth. He bought me my first guitar and taught me classical. RIP to your father 🙏🏻

[@RoaldKoger]

Almost to the date 35 years ago that this song was released. A beautiful tribute.

[@SongsThatEmbarrassOurFamilies]

Wow!

One of the best Metallica tracks amazing

[@hectortorres8188]

You mean 40

[@RoaldKoger]

@@hectortorres8188 No. 40 years would make 1980. Metallica wasn't even formed then.

[@hectortorres8188]

@@RoaldKoger it was released in 1984, it's 2020. It's more than 35 years old, not "almost"

There is a lot of trash on KZbin. And then, every now and then, you come across a gem like this. Beautiful.

[@pacomechampignac3539]

A great song is a great song, no matter what style it's played in. What a beautiful interpretation !

[@MetalGuitarist18]

I'm 30 years old and I've been a metalhead since my older brothers have blasted metal since I was 5 old working on trucks, quads and sleds. This brought a tear to my eye - very well done.

[@shelbylover1359]

The solo already sounds beautiful on guitar. It sounds so much graceful and beautiful on violin

[@johndelaurentis6780]

That unforgiven moment in the beginning was real smooth

[@johnldevoss]

Excellent!!!!!....Metallica would be proud....along with this metal head fan!!!...good job!👊

[@HardRockHeavyMetal]

wow!

[@craksracing0com]

I wonder if metallica realizes the size of what they achieved in the history not of only music but humankind ... Their music has crossed frontiers between genres, styles and has inspired all kinds of musicians to be better Amazing what they gave us in the past so greatful for their music but even more greatful and more amazing is, the huge amount of incredible bands that they inspired to start.... Thnks metallica and Thanks Thomas Zwijsen and Violinist what an amazing cover !!

[@cliffburtonnkardesiyim3725]

James , Kirk , Cliff and Lars composed and played this masterpiece. They were the excellent Metallica .RIP Cliff

[@SoroBoio]

@@cliffburtonnkardesiyim3725 don't forget dave

[@GhostOfJohnLennon]

They’ve played Antarctica. Pretty sure they know.

[@SongOfStorms411]

Quite the statement. I like Metallica, but for a band that's been around less than 40 years it's more than a little presumptuous to make such a statement don't you think? In 100 years will anyone remember who Metallica was? In 200 years? In 500 years? Remember, the vast majority of the musicians humankind has ever had are long dead and long forgotten.

[@lastinline1846]

Don’t say that too loud because if Lars gets wind he’ll demand his share of this KZbin channel’s profits

[@josecarlosdiazarmijo]

It was really good, but I´m not sure if it was flawless. Please if you can, listen since minute 1:25 to 1:31 and tell me. Maybe it is just my perception, but I can not stop thinking about it. Regards.

It amazes me hearing this to know that a band of rough kids wrote this in their early 20’s.

[@irkhan4505]

proof that metal is the closest genre to classical music

[@bragee]

Indeed... Cliff Burton skills in composition produced the best Metallica harmonies

[@user-pr5tx9ep4m]

Well, to be fair, they didn't write "this." They wrote the kernel from which this is extrapolated.

[@stuyvedesu5188]

The acoustic guitar chord is same.....when you play it in strumming pattern the chord is Am C G Em

[@neoneherefrom5836]

I think they both use some alternating E Majors in there too.
