interesting take on the song! usually i'm opposed to song lengths being this long but the arrangement choices made to extend the song are really effective, didn't feel like each section dragged out. good shit as usual

Like it says in my bio, Nobody does it better than Mercury (insert Beetlejuice emoji)

If darkness had a month

[@herbertwest9626]

If St. Anger had a c... Cool picture. In a way 😅.

[@thrashmachine1505]

This is definitely one of the songs I’ve ever heard

[@StateOfMercury]

truly one of the times spent of all time

[@JimmyKilmister]

Listening to this makes me go "DARKNESS, IMPRISONING ME. ALL THAT I HEAR, ABSOLUTE HORROR"

[@StateOfMercury]

reading this reminded me of beavis and butthead watching the one music video

[@Alvin-ue8vz]

Og Metallica fan

[@alex_is...]

I don't even know how but I could feel Lars' facial expressions in my ears

[@antology7]

Best comment ever!

[@metalstyler95]

😂😂😂😂

[@afterforever71]

Him licking his lips consistently

[@Mike.3v2.4_YT]

This reminds me of a poem I heard about Lars "Roses are red, Violets are gay, Lars is gay."

[@MrT013d0]

Doctor - "sir you have 5 minutes of life remaining, what is your last wish?" Play If Darkness Had A Son (Extended Version) "but sir it's 16 minutes lo..." Death - "i'll wait"

[@339blackdiamond]

I like how the guitars do the thing and then do it again. It's truly one of the songs on this album.

[@SkyglowProductions]

9:05 Kirk: "The very first scale that most people learn is the pentatonic box. And that's where I stopped btw".

[@Timewalker13]

Just finished One. I can't believe I'm bouta do this to myself again 😭

you sir, are a real one

The Darkness That Never Comes... Until 16 minutes later...

If Metallica published this in AJFA era would have been at least this long, so well done

Mercury my man, I have never been so mortified to receive a post notification... Having said that I'mma listen to this on loop ☠️

[@flaviumaxin8056]

I can't believe I listened to all of it. Great job. I'm waiting for the extended version of this extended version.

[@atlas9643]

🤣

[@Samford_]

this is by far your best rework

[@ATLASGAMINGApallo]

Now this is real music!

[@TheDoomskyte]

that random soundbite caught me way off guard... nice job

[@nike_swoosh9122]

God that felt like an eternity.

[@CameronB]

Guys this is just the radio edit, the actual version is 42 minutes and 80 seconds long!

[@MegaBadseed]

If Darkness had the whole Family. Love this long version! Can’t wait to hear a shortened version of this song.

[@woodywillchange]

actually when guitar appear on 0:39 after no guitar sound it is quite cool

[@rwcreation2831]

now all we need is this and the extended version of One played at the same time like the ending of elastic by meshuggah

[@K2Lu37]

This is how it feels when you first hear the song lmao, it has grown on me tho

[@ladesgracia7723]

Pain and suffering, thank you good man

[@Phillip-DeFreitas]

I'm definitely signing up for Yousician after this.

[@canadianmammoth]

I like how you not only made it longer, but also somehow more 𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥

[@punxsutawneyphil3944]

The police will use this song in interrogations to torture the suspect.

[@foo2536]

that trollface in the beginning lol

[@dethmetl]

Love it! Even the Commercialness!

[@vinifariaslima]

8:18 THIS.

[@KevronTehDecider01KY]

prog metal enthusiasts still gonna say this is short lol

[@frantic32]

If Darkness had a 5 minute intro

[@Vladislav_Postnikov]

Finally! Normal version..

[@зачемнадо]

It's as if Tarkovsky was editing a Stanley Kubrick movie.

[@StateOfMercury]

LMFAO

[@morganfarlie]

UNDERRATED COMMENT. 😅 I worry I woke up my children with that series of loud chuckling!

[@FyreofShadow]

4 minutes before vocals show up, now that's what I like to see

[@gamelight6107]

Now do a 1 hour super extended version pls

[@drosander000]

What if: If Darkness Had a Son (extended version) was on St. Anger

[@Vladislav_Postnikov]

*instrumental

[@ARandomInternetUser08]

You might be arrested for attempted assault (on everyone's ears) if you did something as ear-splitting as that. 🤣🤣

[@jag-stang29]

less gooo i love these videos ur making just needlessly extending things

[@DraconicMordred]

if modern iron maiden composed if darkness had a son

[@luizoli7268]

New Iron Maiden is boring as hell

[@DraconicMordred]

@@luizoli7268 true that. They need to get a new producer and have Steve Harris lay off writing songs. Maiden has great long songs like Hallowed and Rime but jesus christ dude. Their latest album Senjutsu is bloated with long songs, which I'm fine with long songs but there is no sense of progression in the riffs and melodies. It's just the same shit repeated 4x over. They really need to go back to making 3 to 5 minute songs, or just stop making albums lmao

[@KeltkeGH]

The problem with modern Iron Maiden is that Steve Harris has it fixed on his mind that for a song to be good it needs to be long, and the longer the better...

[@iamdb1990]

... your next video better be a mashup of One and this where darkness is literally imprisoning me lol

[@iamdb1990]

on a more serious note, I like the extended temptation parts lol

[@iamdb1990]

ok, really serious, if you took out the play like Metallica thing in the middle, I'd only listen to this version

[@TheNothing6]

If the original had been like this, I would definitely agree it was too long! 😆

[@rembo96]

This is too much to take. Have mercy.

It works. Could be cool looped in a video game.

well it seems like the next song will be and justice for all 30 minutes extended version

I actually forgot what was there LMAO but yeah, you're right.

_“…Unencumbered by Manufacturing Restrictions Version.”_

Atleast we get to hear that bridge riff more

Ah, long songs. I f u c k I n g love long songs! - James LaBrie, Probably Lowkey? Also me. 😎 Later into it: Woah, that was random!

Why is this so catchy?

if darkness had a gun...

Because this song is the worst one so far of the new album imo so not strange because don't think i'm the only one who dislikes it😂 especially the pre-chorus. This version is better tho😂

The darkness that should not be 😬😬

[@matthewwhite1696]

But I actually dig this extended version, and plus all of the other work you do too!

[@matthewwhite1696]

Also you should make more extended version of other Metallica songs, sometime I don’t think they’re long enough haha 😅
