This is what The Shortest Straw could have sounded like

A remake of one of James's riff tapes from 1986 where you can hear a rough version of The Shortest Straw in C# standard tuning.

giving me pantera vibes hearing this fr

[@TrueSpider-Man]

True 💀💀💀

[@nicopillay4059]

Reminds me of Drag The Waters

[@darthpalagus3820]

I would say because the second riff sounds like the bridge in A New Level.

[@TranceSFX]

More proof Metallica is untouchable in their heyday

[@nishanth6403]

And justice for all heavily inspired groove metal

[@timkryworuka1196]

James doesn’t need to tune down to sound heavy AF

[@TrueSpider-Man]

True

[@YagizBagdatli]

But he should have in this context

[@ドラゴンボールセンター]

James’s demo tape in 86 has it in C# standard

[@zackelekes412]

That’s the Kornest Straw

[@NickiKnot]

Did anyone else see this thumbnail totally differently 😂

Well if any of you other deviants want to hear James Hetfield sing Shawn Michael’s sexy boy that’s on my channel 😂

[@nokia-gm8gv]

no but thanks

[@mitchhaynes1744]

Pantera ?

[@jochencooper2751]

Yeah they copied Ajfa style

[@jochencooper2751]

@neplusultra4196 what's so funny?

[@neplusultra4196]

@@jochencooper2751 it can be said that ajfa probably influenced a lot of metal after. But Pantera copied ajfa is a stretch.

[@jochencooper2751]

@neplusultra4196 you can tell that Pantera were influenced by Metallica, especially the riff style on Ajfa

[@bdenix1997]

nah its good the original way

[@dmncanter]

Thank god it didnt

[@JohnDoe-pk9zi]

Favorite Metallica song. God damn, i love that riff.

[@trevorclark7985]

they didn’t do any down tuning on AJFA, they should have dropped Harvester or this to D or C tuning

[@ALEXJRZ]

Metallic nu metal

[@Le_goobriess]

St anger level shortest straw

[@constantinople610]

Holy shit if they would’ve released it like this. Pantera career would’ve ended with cowboys from hell! And I worship the music of Pantera 🤘!!!!

[@insaneseafarer]

Ah yes. The sound of my Metallica cassette tape when the batteries are dying in my ghetto blaster.

[@TheDavidish]

The original is far better, this song is awesome already

[@ドラゴンボールセンター]

James’s riff tape from 1986 has it in this tuning, so this technically is the original riff.

[@MiguelPaulettePerez-bj8ml]

Im glad it didnt

[@ArielKahane]

Keep this song how it it was on the album but go back and apply this tuning to The Thing That Should Not Be (Like they do live) Sad But True and The Memory Remains.

[@GEORGE_JATZ]

GORGEOUS

[@dyerseve45]

I'm glad it doesn't sound like this

[@MetaITurtle]

Thats James is studio for justice album?

[@russkate88]

They should have done a continuation of this song in C# tuning and put it on The Black Album ⚫️

[@leonahling9786]

This aint shortest straw this is Just under average straw

[@peako4404]

how to get this tone???

[@kevinrobinson-hi1xt]

No. No bend, no hammer/pull. Doesn't compare.

[@Davehetfieldconnoisseur]

I did bend, but there are no hammer/ pulls in the original tape that I am covering here.

[@rhoadsfan]

Thankfully they saw sense and made quality music instead ..

[@daniel-andybecu2804]

Luckily it doesn't sound like this since it's one of my top 3 Metallica tracks

[@schpeidermann]

You mean out of tune?

[@radudumitru7692]

They are not Korn my Guy 🙏

[@Creatic58]

Yep, Korn uses 7 string A standard Also this sounds nothing like korn

[@Doomzdayxx]

Nah this sounds like shit. They were probably just messing around.

[@jamesvuk9761]

Nope

[@Davehetfieldconnoisseur]

The song was originally supposed to be tuned down to C# but they changed it.

[@jamesvuk9761]

@@Davehetfieldconnoisseur the original is great the way it is it stands out because of the heavy sound

[@Davehetfieldconnoisseur]

Absolutely!@@jamesvuk9761
