[@TheLousyGames]

this might sound weird but how in time his bass drum and crash cymbals are is oddly satisfying

[@hunterconklin4423]

It's becuz he edits the son to match his drumming if it's off

[@ltmcuber5182]

u had to ruin it bro

[@nikis1254]

Josh we really would love to see bloopers of your drumming

[@jottafausto]

YES!!! a bloopers video would be great!!

[@nathanexplosion5639]

there ARE no bloopers XD.. but srs.. it would be great! :)

[@groledo]

There are NO bloopers: this man is perfect.

[@chimchu3232]

Yes that would be cool

[@TronciM]

I'm pretty sure he doesn't fail that often lol. It's not that hard to just play naturally after so many years of playing

[@Newbport849]

7:22-8:24 Jesus christ fucking beautiful. I'm going to convert this youtube video to an audio and replace the original Orion track on my ipod with it.

[@joaomatheus6222]

but the drums are louder than in the original track, it would not sound good

[@Newbport849]

Being a drummer myself, I enjoy the drums a little louder.

+Newbport me too. I love louder drums

[@gustavomarques4097]

you can use "A Tube Catcher" to convert it to MP3 just using the link of the video

[@ArthurTactical]

7:45 Josh, please do more double bass tricks like this to more metallica songs. It just makes them sound more awesome!

[@dyerseve45]

I love this song as a whole but 1:33-2:33 might be my favorite minute in the history of music. Great job

[@robertblackmore703]

Yeah that’s the best part. It’s hard to hear on this recording but I remember when I first realized that it was Cliff playing bass and not Kurt with some weird efffect. 🤯

[@starfighterf5112]

It sounds like:"If Orion was on And justice for all".

[@thomasstunts]

2:16 now that was badass

[@dutchuniverse]

Metallica should hire Josh if anything were to happen to Lars

[@lazyman4214]

this comment has to be pinned under every Josh's video

[@eduardozepol2000]

Metallica has said (i think) that if any of the current members died or quit the band would be done. In the unfortunate case of Lars dying/quitting maybe a final tour could be possible. I wrote this whole comment and just remembered download 2004 lol

I would pay to see u playing some Rush stuff hahaha (please, do La Villa Strangiatto :D) Pd: awesome cover as always

[@imjustheresoiwontgetfined2740]

I would absolutely love if he did subdivisions. You hear that Josh!?!! XD I'm just joking, but yeah more rush,subdivisions, would be awesome. Here's hoping he listens. Either way he's still amazing ;)

[@tobytruman33]

If he did Chemistry or Digital Man!! That would be awesome.

[@larsthesing8015]

Tasty like Hell . Payed Tribute to the original Drumtrack and added so many fantastic grooves and Fills. Chapeau

[@MittzKrieg]

Every kind of Metallica video you do is the way I want the drums to sound in the first place. Awesome work once again. Looking forward to the next one. Maybe some Menza era Megadeth?

[@grzegorz317]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@WittyCaMoNinja]

that fill at 7:29 is slick ... loved it, great job man!

[@PatrickDaniels]

That bass drum is phenomenal.

[@MrGuitarforyou]

You should do Wasting My Hate by Metallica as one of these "kind of" videos that'd be sick.

[@DanielM196]

the kick drum pedal at 2:21 would've have been insane throughout the whole riff

[@MusaTariq25]

Great take on the song, man! I prefer Lars simplicity on the track but this is still cool! Your rendition of disposable heroes was amazing tho

[@odadingmangoleh4585]

Your hands, your feet and your movements are so fast, you're the most fun drum cover channel, your drums also have a very melodious sound

[@floydthebarber331]

You and Dave Lombardo made me love drumming Thank you !

[@mattmorin4476]

Remains as one my top 5 drum covers on KZbin

[@1greencuda]

the ending was epic , loved the kick drum mirroring the guitars in the end

[@mattmorin4476]

All kidding aside Josh, thanks for making "old" shit fresh again. My ears are ringing from listening to this three times at full volume

[@duzzitmatter8679]

I don't know why I'm just now getting this video recommended but I'm glad that it did. It allows me to expound on the notion that i thought I was alone in liking this song as much as I did when I discovered it back in '87. In fact it was (and still is) my favorite from "Puppets". Like I said before, Josh...you have a certain way of just making a great classic even better. You're a class act and I wish you the best and thank you for your channel!! Keep up the great work!

[@joshsteffen]

Would be cool. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the reply!!

[@DJsteelbill]

Killer Job josh. You made it your on with the fills. Very good bro

[@vznnn]

if watched all of your videos around 3 times, every time i watch this one i realize how much style he has, the aggression with his snare and hihat placement so much style you can feel the passion for metal. Love what your doing never stop 🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@MiguelFrancisco666-13]

Josh, that was awesome as usual dude! Loved your additions, love watching you play man!

Thanks!

I enjoy hearing your style inserted to songs brother. Hope to hear more of your "kind of" covers. Cheers.

[@tradvert]

love it. perfect. cool bonus strokes and breakes

[@agestor4483]

Dude this reminds me of a new drummer that they got and the drummer is used to double kicking and goes crazy with the double kick in this song

[@leynermoraabarcad.p2944]

yes... beautiful. so creative in the last part

[@Slahinki]

Excellent take on what is in my opinion one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. Good job.

[@JordanT.Zacharias]

I'm impressed Josh, to see how far you've gone in a couple years. I remember the low resolution camera, and the small basic sounding kit, glad to see that you got where you deserve

[@ggarnet6440]

Yet another one nailed, Josh. Top work, fella! 👍👍👍👍

[@Shivz88]

2:13 - That little small part on the hi-hat, details like that. Super easy to miss, but super hard to master. Not to mention the pedals afterwards! Josh, still my idol. Do i gotta mention 7:44? Lars go home, your drunk.

[@thebreauxcave]

dude the transition as 7:50 had me headbanging till my ears fell of

[@BoostedMayhem]

Love the creativity of your "kind of" drum covers. This one is pretty kick ass too. How you played during the outro is pretty gnarly. Mimicking the rhythm guitars with the kick. Awesome.

[@K-A22]

That style and face go together 100%

just fkn amazing .... i subscribed + thumbs up .... love how you changed the rhythm at the end dude - just fkn awesome.

damn the half time at the end was sick. just like when you did that half time thing on and justice.

[@MegaTechpc]

When I think of Cliff Burton I think of Orion. Absolutely iconic bass lines in the bridge! Easily the best instrumental they ever did (though Call of Ktulu was epic too).

[@andrewb386]

I was waiting for that ending with the double kick... You should play it also in the middle section, and extend it, it sounds sooooo heavy!! Well done, Sir!

[@heshwuan]

One of my favorite Metallica tracks. You fit notes into places where there doesn't seem to be any room, and its fucking awesome. Nice work.

[@SuperVilliany101]

Loved when you followed the guitar with the kick drum towards the end, so that got me thinking it would be cool if you did one of these type videos but playing more like a modern drummer over a Metallica song like following the guitar pattern with the kick and blast beats here and there. Keep up the good work.

Loving the song originally, I never thought hearing the drums differently would work... I was wrong! Although there were some spots it felt like it didn't flow/mesh too well, but for the most part I think it really worked well. It gave it more flair without feeling like overplaying. For the most part it still fit the song. Your playing is phenomenal as always though! Keep up the great work and churning out great covers!!!

[@great1mj]

kickin' ass as always josh! the best covers hands down on youtube! id love to collab with you some day! never thought I would see you and Achokarlos collab! no one touches his cover work either for the record...keeping on rocking in the free world!

Josh, I have been listening to and watching your vids since before you had 15k subs. In that time your music has just gotten better and better. This song is actually the first Metallica song I ever heard way back when I was 11 (im 38 now lol). I still put this song on when ive had a shit day. Thanks for making this song even better. Still going to keep nagging you for Killing Fields though mate. One day I will get you to play it :)
