Facts!

[@emeraldguitars]

Fantastic cover Kord! Well done!

[@kordas87]

Thank you so much!

[@musicluva1046]

Only people who aren't going to go for this are the Metallica old schoolers who think because you didn't play it note for note, you're some how not hitting the bar. They're wrong. The players of Metallica would be honored by your work. Beautiful.

[@kordas87]

Thank you! That was nice of you to say.

Phenomenal arrangement and production, Mr Semrow! Truest instrumental cover to what Metallica has always meant to convey and emote with this song... ~Fun facts~ Metallica wrote "Fade To Black" after their equipment was stolen, throwing them into a funk. The band was scheduled to play a show in Boston on January 14, 1984. The truck with their gear got there first, and when their road crew looked for it the next morning, it was gone. They had to cancel the show and postpone a planned tour of Europe. The thieves got Lars Ulrich's drum kit and James Hetfield's custom amp, which had a lot of sentimental value to him. It was under this cloud that Hetfield wrote the very grim lyric. Hetfield clarified that he was never contemplating suicide but was using this dark time as impetus for the song about a guy who does. The idea is that we can sometimes feel helpless when stricken by events outside our control, and while we're all allowed to wallow in our misery, it's up to us to turn it around. Metallica did just that. The Ride The Lightning album was a metal masterpiece and put them in a position to buy all the gear they could ever want.😎

[@kordas87]

Thank you! And thanks for sharing, I did not know that’s how this song came about 👍

[@trainwreckmetal]

Yet again we see musical genius take form in our life. Any metal fan that comes across this will feel an ocean of emotions that they never had listening to the original.

[@kordas87]

Thank you 🙏

[@voiceoftruth2841]

Per your description ~ Goal achieved!...and then some. Your bow on that perfectly resonating Balor bass - what a woesome *ache* it adds to the undercurrent of your arrangement!😩👌

[@Goganych]

Amazing...it's truly incredible style, atmosphere and your ability to utilise features and advantages of acoustic guitars, their clear tone and all dynamics is just mind-blowing!! Climax - oh, it's Zimmer style! So "classic", so damn clear, but powerful and beautiful. Thanks for your work and creativity. I'll share it and will keep explire your channel. And yeah, your other videos are also beautiful!! So, thank you!! And good luck at your jorney

[@kordas87]

Thank you so much for the kind words and I appreciate your support 🙏. I would never be upset by being compared to Zimmer :)

[@jennifermiller4264]

From open to close, Kord - what a completely immersive and consummate experience! The details of your choices!...played out in your all encompassing atmosphere... *Everything* you've put into this production leaves all other tributes somewhere behind you. Your arrangement is a direct hit to the sweet spot, for what Metallica *meant* by this song. Exquisite tempo... Impeccable choice harmonies... Dynamics are *on point!* All is just... 😔👌

I've run this production thru half dozen times. Rare I use the word flawless. This recording is flawless! I could point to specifics but you already know you made this happen. You don't need any back claps from me. Main purpose in leaving comment is to give you activity on your latest. Agree with all words in here. Been thru most your latest work. Jen made up a playlist to get us from here to there for easy listen on the road. You have made some serious strides toward excellence, Kord! Your Interstellar might be your lure and hook by yt standard and it's a good selection. But can hear miles of improvement in your play and master finish since then. We all need to sit back and appreciate what we're accomplishing from time to time. Remember to do that.

[@kordas87]

That means a lot, thank you. Also that is good advice. Thank you for taking the time to listen.

[@kordas87]

Yooooo Josh! Thanks dude 😎

[@FUJB-xx9xr]

Great orchestration of all those lines! Most acoustic covers of FTB don't sustain unless they use obvious effects. Its sounds like harpsichord or mechanical. That bass gave your rendition extra special sauce! You did just what you set out to do. Very well arranged and played!

[@kordas87]
