Kinda cool to see this whole video game cover thing come full circle for me. Metallica was the first metal band that my dad introduced me to, did the same for video games. I got into the music, mixed it with my love of metal, then found yourself, James, and many others, and here we are with you guys covering Metallica. Funny how the world works!

IRISH MASTER OF PUPPETS, WHEN? Also: there's this song called the Legendary Theme by Gitaroo Man. (A video game, but it's the best rhythm game ever made) I've been asking Richaad for 2 years at least to cover it, as he is the King of Guitar Covers here on YT. Maybe... Legendary Theme but it's... IRISH?

on par with Trivium cover which is a blast too. imho

Agreed. V definitely nailed the vocals & Richaad gave this song even more life then it had before which is saying a lot because it's been memed to hell & back.

Why? It's two amazing artists covering a great song.

[@redridingcape]

@@SomeGalNamedEve Typically really great songs overshadow the covers for me, and it just makes me want to listen to the original. I'm guessing that's what makes it surprising how good this cover is, I could see myself listening to this cover despite how good the original is.

As someone who grew up hearing Metallica songs regularly, I feel like you and Little V nailed this song PERFECTLY. The vocals and riffs were spot on, and I'm heavily considering sending the link to this video to the two people in my life who are responsible for my love of Metallica's songs.

[@twoqueersplay]

Really doing justice to that meaty bass line. Also, I love it when you reach back to the ‘80s and earlier for classic rock and metal tracks. (Yes, I remember when you covered Roundabout.) Y’all knocked this one out of the park.

Little V's voice is just a God Given Gift to Metal and Music as a whole. It's so passionate and vibrant in every song he sings.

[@SilverAlex92]

Its been nearly 20 yearsa since I first heard master of puppets. I remember clearly how at first I was confused about how aggresive the song felt, but then the melodic solo hits, and that right there was the moment I realized I loved metal. Now im about to turn 30, and still loving it. Amazing covers, captures the feeling of the original and improves on it. Amazing

It makes me sad to think that some people will only discover Metallica through Stranger Things but then again... it is nice too. Such amazing music being found again by a new generation. I grew up on this as tapes from my mom that she stole from a music store in the late 80s XD (also don't to that, I just find it funny since she taught me to not steal but admitts that). I even have an official Master of Puppets shirt from my mom when she went to he concert. This song and the band means so much to me. Richaad and LittleVMills; this was nostalgic and AMAZING. 👏 👏 Hats off to you guys. I also still have all the Metallica tapes 😁

Master Of Puppets probably inspired DOOM's E1M1. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@leonfrost2829]

Most likely since Master of puppets pre dates the original Doom game.

[@Zsaber64]

Plenty of the original Doom's music has pretty clear metal and rock inspirations, but E1M1 At Doom's Gate is reportedly not taken from anything. Bobby Prince said the song was written prior to listening to heavy metal. It was meant to be a fairly generic rock riff, hence why people are able to attribute it to many different tracks including this one.

[@mirage809]

They definitely sound similar. A funnier one is the Duke Nukem theme. It was heavily "inspired" by Megadeth, which was really funny when Megadeth covered it.

[@DoctahToboggan69]

I'd say "No Remorse" sounds a bit more like E1M1

[@bromodragone8405]

You're correct.

[@thmanoy]

Stand Name: Master of Puppets Power: B Speed: C Range: C Durability: B Precision: B Potential: A Ability: When I look someone in the eye, I am able to use the power of my stand onto them. The stand will be able to control the thoughts and the emotions of the person, effectively changing their personality as I wish for as long as the stand is active. The number of people I can apply this too varies depending on my emotional stability, from 1 to 10. Evolution potential: I can also control my own personality.
