What If Metallica Sounded Like Slipknot?

[@peteplaysmusic]

Metalli-knot or Slip-tallica?

[@--TOM--]

Sliptallica sounds dope

[@jeffreymartinez5829]

Metalli-knot sounds more brutal somehow.

[@Phnxsmv]

Metalsliptallicaknot.

[@artbycarlgookins]

Knottica

[@denverrandy7143]

Sliptallica

[@ippotsk]

I can practically hear Corey barking his lungs out in my head when listening to the full version, haha. Great rendition!

[@hedbngr18]

Cory is a cool enough dude, he may just see this and work with Pete to put the cover out. He did 2 videos with Rob Scallon, so I don't see why he wouldn't do something fun like this. Fingers crossed! Haha

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Damn you killed this one

[@HellSpartanZ]

& u killed it on the Bury the light cover u did with Geoffplaysguitar

[@nepntzerZer]

no

[@oliveiradavigustavo]

The only way this could possibly be any better, is if Corey Taylor himself sang over it. Awesome work pete!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! I’d love it if heard this somehow. :)

[@andrewking2590]

I was thinking the exact same thing. the song is already excellent, now it needs that Taylor growl.

[@vxidastronaut]

gotta find an impersonator who can do corey as good as moonic can do serj

[@HarryCaneNo1]

The real only way to make this better is with Lars playing it on the drum kit from St.Anger :D (not a Lars hater at all, just found the joke funny lol)

[@Blank13948]

That would be awesome! Corey's cover of Holier Then Thou and Stone Sour's cover or Creeping Death are absolutely amazing so I bet if he added vocals to this, it would be just awesome! 🤘🏻

[@Scrimshaw_DuBois42]

This is a cool idea! I'd love to see more, like what if Black Sabbath sounded like Gojira?

This is actually incredible how you’ve captured slipknot’s sound Would be insane to get Corey doing the vocals on it right?? TWEET HIM?!!

[@loganstrickler]

Yeah, I wouldn't put it past corey, he loves metallica, so I'm sure he would be happy to do this

[@lewisgrant7622]

@@loganstricklerall depends on his schedule.

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

Dude, you need to get SidWilson17 to throw some vocals on this. His Corey vocal covers are spot on.

[@NeekoGood]

Is the guy still alive? Radio silence on KZbin for 6 years.

[@nickcollins9893]

Matthew Sparks would be a better choice for this.

[@thegreatcaroon6423]

I love how the solo was so undeniably Metallica but still sounded like SlipKnot, this was amazing man!

[@Blank13948]

Some of Jim's guitar solos for Slipknot and Stone Sour have Metallica vibes so I definitely agree with you! One good example of a Metallica sounding Slipknot guitar solo is the guitar solo for Nomadic from .5 The Gray Chapter 🤘🏻

[@DreamTravelerZenddrex]

This sounds like a mash-up of Enter Sandman and Surfacing if it was done during their All Hope Is Gone era.

[@ailtonrs9965]

True!

[@okaydoomer533]

And main riff sound kinda like All out life

[@alexblodgett9313]

This has more Iowa and Self-titled Album vibes

[@arielcardoso2848]

NO WAY YOU SAID THIS BRO I WAS THINKING EXACTLY THE SAME THING

[@instathrill8845]

its the high pitched wails that make it very Surfacing IMO

[@hasodium]

i like the noises throughout the song that sound like surfacing, they really contribute to the slipknot sound

[@FreerunnerPolska]

As a 43 year old metal fan i just have to say that this is f***king awesome! The part with the solo is a masterpiece. Really good work bro!

[@jeffreymartinez5829]

This was a great video. It was interesting to hear you vocalize the approach to each section and then hear what you were describing immediately after. Hearing it all come together at the end was like seeing the movie after the previews. Sounded epic, man! Great job!!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Yeah, I wanted to switch up the format and kind of explain it a bit. Thanks for watching :)

[@christiandburns]

This literally sounds like All Out Life and that isn't a bad thing. Thank you for this video.

[@chadblackmon8586]

Nailed it! It also kinda sounds like Stone Sour’s first album… especially the solo! Think Get Inside. Which makes sense when you think about it because Corey even said Stone Sour was more of a Metallica meets Alice In Chains influence.

[@hedbngr18]

It's crazy to see Enter Sandman downpicked at a speed close to Master of Puppets. As always Mr. Cottrell, your work is awesome and inspiring. Thank you for your hard work.

[@franklombardo8596]

This sounded pretty great, I didnt know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised.

[@DLynch]

wow the fact you even added Sid’s DJ scratches in there is truly impressive

[@Attacian]

The way you combined the straight forwardness of Metallica in their Black Album phase with thew grooveness of Slipknotespecially by Jordison makes it really superb. Chef's kiss!

[@joshvandruff1790]

Gotta admit. First thought I was skeptical this wouldn’t be good. Then upon your explanation I was excited. And the execution was flawless dude! Amazing work as always! 🤘🏻

[@jameswilson7022]

Sounds really good. You really captured the Slipknot sound and style for a Metallica song.

[@jberranner]

DUDE!!!! I NEED THIS WHOLE ALBUM. I would rock this all day!!!

[@zaoc1]

As someone that has heard this song more times than numbers can count, it's so damn refreshing to hear it with a totally different spin. It just works! Maybe I'm biased due to my love for both bands, but hey - you fucking nailed it mate!

[@cush8057]

F**kin nailed it dude. Awesome. Corey has to get in on this!!

[@Stephen_Lafferty]

A great interpretation of Metallica through a Slipknot lens! I'd love to hear 'Creeping Death' or 'Battery' interpreted as 'Vermillion'!

[@FidgetMDCCLXIV]

What about Gematria interpreted as Master of Puppets

Don’t know who you are, but this type of video is an absolute gem of an idea. I’ll definitely come back for every one of these you make.

[@CaptainDugog]

That turntable scratching really brings this together.

[@a.c.e5713]

I don't normally comment on videos but man you absolutely killed it!!! That is epic, Slipknot need to hear this!! Unbelievably talent 👏 the main riff is a monster in its own right!! Well done man!!

[@SwickyB]

I like your "song in the style of 20 bands" videos, so I really enjoyed this one with you explaining what you did. Very cool! 🙂👍

[@MckoyDrumming]

Now all you need is a mister Corey to finish it up with the vocals and it would be like Slipknot wrote this. This is spot on dude!

[@kerryymm]

That is a piece of brilliance, Pete 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Has anyone tagged Corey Taylor? I'd love to hear Slipknot play this 😊

[@grizzlywhisker]

I was never the biggest Slipknot fan but I did really like their first two albums when they came out. This does a pretty good job of capturing their signature sound.

[@banned-account]

Awesome video like all your others. These ones where you go into detail explaining how you deconstruct and reconstruct music are exceptionally cool! Also, I think you nailed it in proving that Metallica could definitely work in the style of Slipknot!

[@ryanschmidt3445]

As a METALLICAT-- and IOWA RESIDENT-- I can, with great confidence, say that YOUR WORK IS INCREDIBLE!!! YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH, BROTHER!!! RESPECT!!! MAD RESPECT!!!

This is great. Most people just downtune songs and it sounds awful. But you have a genuine understanding of what makes the original song sound great and the style of the new band you are porting the song to. Lots of nuances, very enjoyable and interesting video. Kudos.

[@Outlander34]

You made the song better. And I'm going with Slip-tallica. Awesome job.

[@im3phirebird81]

When I heard the intro I couldn't help but have Corey's entering line of "Surfacing" in my head when the beat entered xD I know it's almost illegal to cover "Enter Sandman", but Slipknot should cover your cover xD I heard Corey doing his thing throughout the song and it almost seems like it was meant to be haha Great work!

the intro threw a huge impression! a lot like both metallica and slipknot. you nailed it :D

[@JonathonSturdevant]

So many have said it already, but this was exceptionally well done. Enjoyed it

[@Rhizzome]

Outstanding vid! What I found especially interesting in this is when I found myself wondering how it would have sounded at the time / how it would have been received if Metallica had put THIS out (I’m kinda old-ish, so was around and listening back then.) What it most made me think of was how it just wouldn’t have been possible back then - that there’s this fascinating chronology of bands that each in some way led to the metal that was around at the end of the 90s compared to that at the beginning. Like, listening to the whole batch of incredible early 90s bands that inadvertently helped create the blueprint for what was to come. Anyways, love it! 🔥🔥🔥
