The cover art is fucking beautiful

It's just ai bullshit

[@yuri0568]

​@psylocybanana7276 still very cool looking. Give it not even a couple years and artists will never be able to get a job to make anything ever. Pretty horrible but at least it looks nice lol.

[@DravenHill]

​@@psylocybanana7276So what? The person still finds it beautiful. Why do you feel the need to ruin the joy they find in it?

[@bluewater82]

@@yuri0568Been saying it for the last year but people have their heads buried in the sand. It will probably be another 10-15 for the majority of the workforce to be replaced but artists, writers, and customer service reps are going to be the first to go.

[@ashes7194]

It has a "everything to gain" vibe, unlike the "nothing to lose" of the original tuning. kudos on the quality!

[@danielssonsgarage]

Beautiful explanation

[@infernus2438]

I agree with the reply above me

i agree with the reply above me

[@smeagol7247]

Ironically it sounds happier in c sharp minor it sounds triumphant and victorious, versus the original song which is in e minor which sounds sorrowful and full of grief.

[@canavarnoktacom]

weird, i would never think that this would affect the song that way

[@jprrob4016]

original song is in b minor and a minor no

[@smeagol7247]

@@jprrob4016 and e minor. Your right it changes a few times from a minor to b minor to e minor. b minor and e minor have the same notes except b minor has a sharpened 2nd which is c sharp. Kirk hammet often plays penatonic minor scale so your removing 2 notes including the raised 2nd so the b minor penatonic and the e minor penatonic cover the same notes.

[@elkrumb9159]

@@smeagol7247most of the song is in B minor, except the chorus and bridge I think

[@smeagol7247]

@@elkrumb9159 kirk hammet often plays penatonic licks which contain 5 notes instead of 7 there is one note diffrent between e aeolian and b aeolian and that is cut out of a pentatonic scale so kirk hammet is often playing e aeolian penatonic over b minor progressions.

You're not alone guys, remember that

[@jamesmalone7950]

If heard on multiple occasions, James Hetfield say he hated his high pitch voice in Metallica's early albums. Hearing this track in C#, I now wonder if this is how he actually wanted to sound back in the day

[@gori8595]

got me shedding tears, it almost sounds like instead of being hopeless, its more in the hopeful light like they know they can heal from the damage theyve gone through

[@GuitarsandTrails]

One of my favorite things to do is play Metallica riffs in C#. The creeping death DIE bridge is just so damn amazing. This sounds beautiful.

[@MeatFarmerMusic]

try C standard. I don't know why but I love how thick that tuning makes those power chords sound ...

[@KaziMax]

You HAVE to do the thing that should not be. You have to. It's the heaviest metallica song. It deserves it. BTW subbed, amazing work my guy!

[@JayTrain00]

Thanks man! I actually already have The Thing That Should Not Be uploaded to my channel if you want to go take a look 👀

[@taysonleach8434]

I don’t thinks that’s the heaviest song but it’s close

[@KaziMax]

@@JayTrain00 oh damn i tried to look for it but guess i missed it :D anyways dope stuff keep at it! And the thing that should not be was heavy af damn man

[@joshuabradley9593]

They actually recorded that song in c#, not sure what they did after recording it but I saw where I think Jason said it was their best and heaviest song. Could have been Rob too. Can't remember but I do remember thinking wow I didn't know they detuned that much, especially that early

[@HeroSword_P]

That song sounds like it's in Drop D/D standard, so it would sound pretty heavy or sludgy if tuned lower lol

[@Gabatron67]

I actually shed a tear, this is the best one you've done so far

[@xfghkhjfsejid]

The cover art is out of this world. I wish the tentacles were animated too!

​@@calebhalverson2742nooooo please don't say it 😂

[@jordan9105]

This sounds more like it came off Load. James Sounds older, and as if he's more remember his deepest depression rather than wallowing in it

[@andreyzhuchkov1882]

yeah. It is as if you got a really truly great cover which we rarely get. It is on the one hand absolutely stays true to the original and on the other hand nevertheless gives it a new perspective. Love this new wave of metallica reimaginings and interpretations of late by the help of all these technologies.

[@ali965]

This is incredible. But can we talk about that cover art tho! Absolutely gorgeous

[@dimebag667]

​@@firemonkey1015 I don't know album artists as well as I should, but I do know some board game artists. Les Edwards did the cover for Hero Quest, and Mark Gibbons did my favorite 40k stuff. But you raise a good point... We should care more about the people that make great stuff that we love. Taking that for granted, or disposable, is gross.

[@sablyptical]

All these vidoes with altered tuning make me believe I should get out of my comfort zone and start playing the guitar in other tunings besides E standard. Just beautiful... very beautiful

[@juanfranfra9884]

at least try D#, its only half a step but its sooooo good... or maybe down the hz too.. so it souns more like an d# but tuning on E, just like pantera. my favourite hz on E Standardad its 430

[@DamnDealDone]

​@@juanfranfra9884 What a nonsensical comment.

[@bucknasty69]

It’s the same as E standard, just down a step and a half. All the fingerings are the same. Try drop or open tunings if you really want to do something different.

[@RandomeGuy872]

Just remember to increase the string gauge as you tune down, otherwise it'll end up sounding weird.

[@stratosamu]

a few years ago I tried Drop C because I wanted to play I'm the Mountain by Stoned Jesus... and never got back in E standard

[@undead._]

my baritone finally can sing this shit

[@andrzejplaszczyk3371]

[@cristianofaxx2806]

I'm ashamed i discovered this channel only today. You are a true talent Jay, keep it up.

[@Gungrave442]

Very very nice cover, very interesting to hear such a classic in a different tuning like this. My one complaint is how soft and faded the drums are. I guess it makes sense given youre trying to front what youve changed the most, the guitar riffs and solo. But the drum section on the Fade to Black solo is probably my favorite (and I would argue the best) Lars fills of any Metallica song. The driving double base through the whole back half just really accelerates the feel of the solos nicely. Would love to see a version of this with perhaps a more neutral mixing.

[@j.koppany]

My only quiestion is, how. The quality is amazing, well done!

[@enjoyyourself4510]

Man, this is unbelievable good.

[@jaeden2806]

Everything's better in C. Great job, love the art:)

[@andross4678]

I play this in D standard because my Floyd Rose is tuned for Death and I'm too lazy to grab something a half step down. It sounds pretty wicked in C sharp!
