I hate when people say this cover sucks, because its not the same as the original. This is a perfect example of a great cover. The drums are the best part of this as they give the song a completely different feel that the song needed. Don't get me wrong here, its not Metallica and they never will be, but this is an amazing song while making it their own. I believe at 5:17, when the double kick is ripping, that Lars should have realized that it would have made the song better

[@MikeDelattre]

The essence of a cover has to be the personal interpretation of a song you like , not the perfect copy of that song ! There's no interest to do an exact copy of a song. We know the original song ! Do a cover with your feelings , your heart & your own style and it will be THE perfect cover we want to hear !! Keep on rockin' guys ! Peace

So true .... but this cover is sadly lacking bass.

[@purplepenguin8576]

That's exactly the case with Johnny Cash and Nine Inch Nails. Both are great, even though the cover is often referred to be better than the original. It says a lot when Trent Reznor was giving the Johnny Cash cover high praise. Unpopular opinion, but I think Trivium's cover of "Master of Puppets" is better than the original by Metallica.

[@michaelredkey1916]

Absolutely love it. I just found out about Periphery about 2 years ago and I am a huge fan. How I’m just now hearing this in 2022 is beyond me.

[@Grimeyhoob]

Who cares Lars is a fantastic musician, he has co-written some of metallicas best songs and he is the best drummer for metallica. He may not be the most technically proficient, but he fits into metallica like a master key in a lock. Metallica also only achieved success due to Lars' vision for the band.

[@ChodeTheToad]

[@ChodeTheToad]

Oh really? I thought he played pots and pans on Saint Anger?

He and Hetfield co arranged almost all the songs. Just listen to Dyers Eve. His drumming on that is mad. But now he sucks and he's too lazy and he's an asshole though. But you can't not agree to the fact that he and James are legends

[@Father-of-Xerxes]

Lars most certainly, without a doubt, beyond any possible dispute, could not have even attempted to

[@jonathanking8289]

Bradley McLain um... back when Lars was doing his drum fills... he could easily have done triplets. he was one of the pioneers of fast double bass rhythms and fills. Most drummers today, can do much faster, only because of drummers like Lars who came first. Lars is just old now and probably cant now, but in the 80's he could easily have done anything... just listen to the drums he did in 99 on S&M, he massively played the same songs with faster and more complicated beats.

[@jonathanking8289]

[@Irudium]

IMO, this cover was about right. They added their own flavor to it, and it came out fairly well. Now, the vocals in the last verse and the guitar solo kind of ruined it for me. Still, I really liked the drums and the overall atmosphere.

[@dannyboi1612]

I completely agree with you sir

[@tvalla]

absolutely agree

[@knd_simba]

From a classic/old-school metalhead's standpoint that's trying to explore what the modern/industrial/djent genres has to offer, I have this to say about the cover: The vocals, although very well done and great for their thing, just doesn't cut the harsh and brutal nature of the original song and instead tries to make it pretty, which really took away the lyrical impact for me. He's a great singer, just not for traditional thrash metal. The drums sounds like the drummer has something up his behind to be quite frank. He hits every drum as hard as he can with ZERO dynamics through the entire song which kills the buttery smooth clean-parts and the tranquil melancholy of the verses is pounded away even though it's tight. It's simply unlively and flat. That's really what negative I can say. It's Periphery, not Metallica, and they did it their own way. Misha's solo honestly destroyed Kirk's original (let's be honest, he's never really been a great player other than a speed-freak and wah-fanatic). And I will always enjoy great musicianship no matter the genre, and that clearly comes through here both per the individuals and as a group. I see many comments discussing whether or not this is emo. I wouldn't call it emo, but as a fan of old-school metal ("true metal" as some call it), the sound doesn't work for me the same way much of emo & screamo-acts doesn't work for me, I suppose that's what people from my group are complaining about. I think that's the LEAST elitist i can be. Great musicians from a genre that to me is alien and "controversial" I guess, and a good cover. That's still just my opinion. And yes, I know no one read the whole thing. Waffledicks.

[@MrRockbuddy9]

+TheRolfieboy Metallica is not thrash metal..

[@Jotun184]

+TheRolfieboy took me a while to get over the vocals personally as i mainly like thras and death metal but now i find periphery really enjoyable. the vocals really carry the melody with this style while the guitars are often very rhythm based. try 'icarus lives', 'alpha', 'scarlet', 'buttersnips'. Pretty catchy melodies. i don't listen to any other band with these hardcore style vocals personally so i get where you're coming from

I wasn't a huge fan at first due to me trying to compare it with the original. So, i thought about this and came back and listened to it as if it were an entirely new track. It really brings out the progressive and musical complexity metallica has, while incorporating guitar and vocal styles indigenous to periphery. I think it was a great song. They took a metallica song and not only did they cover it, they changed it and gave it almost an entirely new vibe. (not to mention the nailing of the solo)

I can't believe the people on this fucking thread. There's one side bashing Metallica, and one side bashing Periphery... So narrow-minded. You know what? Metallica is my favorite musical artist (tied with Linkin Park and Muse)... They have talent and their music changes over time... "...And Justice For All" (1988) was musically complex and was very progressive at the time. And it is definitely my favorite album by them... And then here's Periphery, a progressive metal band that is easily within my top five... And they do a bad ass cover of a song on my favorite album by my favorite artist... Making it their own song in the process. What's there not to like? And what better way to pay tribute to a song progressive for its time by doing it your way? I like both equally. I basically view them as two different songs. That's all I can do in order to avoid being sacrilegious to one band or unacknowledging of the other's talent lol... Appreciate both versions for what they are; they're both superb in their own way. We don't need to be at each other's throats on this thread...

+MaximumHamburgers either that or he was playing on a Roland TD 20 with real cymbals.

[@Blackout0083]

+MaximumHamburgers You have already broke my heart jajaja 😩 I didnt know these drums where programmed.

[@GoodCarpet]

This was with Halpern. Halpern has been in the band longer than Spencer, so this would have to be with Halpern.

[@jamesbarron7568]

I know this was old, but Travis Orbin was better than Matt Halpern and I wish he had never left Periphery.

[@pinstripe1154]

Not gonna lie, I love how some of the bits in this cover sounds, especially the harmony

[@battlescarred4271]

out of all the "one" covers I've heard, this one is the best hands down. Classic Metallica song meets Modern Djent style metal... sign my ass up.

[@JohnBenoit46290]

if matt just used the ride instead of that china in the clean part this would be 10x better

[@DrummingFanatic14]

I forgot you were the drummer in a highly successful band... Oh wait, that's Matt

[@JohnBenoit46290]

I'm not ripping on Matt at all. He's a hundred times the drummer I'll ever be. If I don't like something that I hear I'm not gonna shelve that opinion because someone is more "successful" than me. Do you like Nickelback because they're more successful than you? Probably not. Success doesn't make someone infallible. Quit starting shit on the internet though, dude. There's no point. Hope you have a nice day too!

[@umadachi]

Chandler Emhoff I like periphery but Misha said they all have to have side jobs to make ends meet haha

[@GetScaredGaming]

Don't know shit about drumming, but sounded pretty good to me!

[@JohnBenoit46290]

glad you enjoyed it!!

[@Metallicainjection]

hmm they pulled if if well but it is nowhere near the raw power of and justice for all record. Metallica was at a whole new level during their time.

[@M4ttHatt3r]

Metallicainjection minus the drummer.

[@emokiller907]

Metallicainjection A new level? Of confidence and power?

[@OlviMasta77]

Jimmy Hopkins Anselmo would be terrific doing cover of One

[@hannes1734]

Mot Yrrah HAHAAAAAAA! Justin Bieber is and will always be a GREAT musician! How many records have you sold? Plus, you don't know a lot about drums, right? Playing only with power and messing up the easiest 4/4 beats doesn't qualify you as a good drummer.

[@hannes1734]

Mot Yrrah It's not about PLAYING only simple beats, it's about SCREWING THEM UP! Guess what Phil Rudd does? He only plays simple beats, but he NEVER screws them up. C'mon, it's not that difficult to play a 4/4 fill and ending on the 1. Yet Lars Ulrich screws that up. "NO feel NO emotion"? I assume you've never heard Lune? This song contains one of THE MOST emotional drum parts in the world. And "No swing"? Lars can't swing for shit. Matt Halpern on the other hand can probably play anything you can imagine. And offending this band only makes you look dumb, just like saying that Lars Ulrich is a GREAT drummer, because he isn't. Every drummer will tell you that. Do you think offending people on the internet will make you successful? Do you think Elon Musk is sits in front of his computer calling people fuckwads all day long? Think about it.

[@trendmassacre8423]

That constant double bass all the way through the second half of the instrumental part really blew me away!!!

[@xRockDrummah96]

This was very well done. Drum track was fantastic. Vocals got a little whiny in the choruses, but other than that, I like how he made Hetfield's lyrics his own.

Its awkward that the double kick in the breakdown is actually in time and clean compared to the original

I expected more from this... Especially because it's periphery. Now I'm just sad and have to take a shit

I expected after "hold my breath as I wish for death," there would be a MASSIVE style change.

great cover!!!

[@elevenAD]

good cover! any one know whos playing lead at the end? Holcomb?

[@whoiscornelius]

Appreciate all the stylistic differences compared to the original. It’s incredible how different this song is with the vocals change. Hetfield has such a more powerful and lower pitched voice.

[@MrAntihumanism]

I am a huge Metallica fan, they pretty much baptized my infatuated with metal music. I think this is a pretty good cover to be honest, I think the mix is a little crap, but I dig it a lot. I love the drumming, definitely a little different than Lars.

[@Aconn1997]

You should listen to other periphery material. May I prefer "Ragnarok" and "Make total destroy"? Great songs

[@TheApostleofRock]

The best cover I’ve heard since Korn did it back at mtv. But they did not play the full song. This is gorgeous

[@rmp5s]

Not bad. Not terribly good, but not bad. Just didn't seem to...like...work. But, not bad. Bad is Avenged Sevenfold trying to cover Pantera. Fuck my LIFE that was bad.

[@ericvader8]

You talkin about when they covered Walk? That wasn't really bad or good. To me, that was just a redone version of the song, because it's more clear and all, with a different singer.

[@rmp5s]

Avenged's vocalist is TERRIBLE. T...E...R...R...I...B...L...E...and that track sounded exactly the same as the original track minus vocals. I fucking HATE that guy's whiney ass voice. Him trying to do a song that's supposed to be aggressive and sound intimidating was epic fail.

[@rmp5s]

Oh...and yes, that is what I'm talking about.

[@Sokudomusic]

Brent Bialik Avenged Sevenfold's songs are awesome, their covers? Not so awesome, worst one has to be either Paranoid or Flash of the Blade!

[@rmp5s]

***** I can't STAND that vocalist, man. I tried. I really did cuz they're a pretty good band and all but he is fucking terrible. Such a whiney sounding sell out little bitch. But that's just my .02$, man...
