Metallica & San Francisco Symphony: Creeping Death (Ben Zimmermann Version)

So you really wanted this one right? Thought the requests would never end haha. I think this is maybe my best S&M rework so far. Hope you also like it!
Enjoy your early christmas present and thank you all so much for your great support I got from you this year! I hope you'll still listen to the new stuff I'll post even if it's not Metallica everytime. I really like this series but I also want to post more original songs and some new projects next year. I hope you will be still around then! Also big thanks to all my patrons who make sure I can invest in more music gear to make everything sound even better! And now...creep on!

The "DIE" part is like the army of mordor marchin' to a 'tallica Show.

For real!

[@JohRauh66695]

Please.....Maybe "Suicide & Redemption" ? It really deserves more credits. or other DM Songs ?

[@bobalto]

Johannes Rauh Totally agree. Suicide & Redemption is an amazing song

[@SwissWolv]

Agree! That way, all instrumentals would have gotten the S&M treatment in some way.

[@maxzubic]

That Was Just Your Life, The End Of The Line, Broken, Beat, & Scarred, and Cyanide. Change my mind.

[@dudutano15]

I know how much people love Orion and To Live is To Die (and To Live is To Die is amazing), but S&R is my favourite instrumental song from MetallicA! I wish they would play this song more often.

[@maxzubic]

@@dudutano15 I actually don't like any of them. Suicide & Redemption is my least favorite Metallica song of all time. The Call Of Ktulu is the only good instrumental.

[@frederickgaignard2003]

Wow, S&M 3 is coming along real nice!

There is no excuse anymore for having so many songs from the first s&m show on the second one. This works so well and it would've with many more

Absolutely!

[@gusgalaxy]

Looking forward to what's next! I'd love to see St. Anger, King Nothing, Blackened 2020 style, Unnamed Feeling, That Was Just Your Life, and Now That We're Dead (heavy or acoustic style).

[@thefifthhorseman2363]

That Was Just Your Life would sound dope with a symphony upgrade.

[@gusgalaxy]

@@thefifthhorseman2363 it would! In fact, it's an essential part of my own S&M3 mock setlist: Set I 01. The Ecstasy of Gold 02. The Call Of Ktulu 03. That Was Just Your Life 04. The Four Horsemen 05. St. Anger 06. Cyanide 07. I Disappear 08. Some Kind Of Monster 09. Minus Human 10. No Leaf Clover Set II 11. One 12. The Memory Remains 13. The Day That Never Comes 14. The Unnamed Feeling 15.

@@thefifthhorseman2363 not weird at all, I've been doing it for years! You're not the only one! Metallica, NIN, Kiss, Pearl Jam, Seether, Shinedown, Puscifer, Poets Of The Fall, etc. It's a lot of fun that never fades over the years!

[@tankmaster72208]

This is my favorite one of them all. The symphony just fits. Nice work.

Do the four horsemen next! The full song with the solo interlude

[@gusgalaxy]

I think Ben is secretly metallica in disguise by now, and these really are tracks from a secret s&m3 show, like 99.999% sure of it!

[@gusgalaxy]

And all the "patrons" are members of the secret s&m3 orchestra!

[@klaypoly6206]

Same! It was so deflating to see the “new” set list and only see like 5 new songs with orchestra that weren’t acoustical.
