Sad But Superstitious (Stevie Wonder + Metallica Mashup) by Wax Audio

[@dquaidman]

I would totally dig Soul Metal as a genre.

[@crazycooper1024]

SAME!

[@sergios4071]

If anybody finds more of this genre add here, I'm looking it up too

[@jumbowolfe84]

Kings X?

[@1naashun]

“24-7 Spyz” Heavy Metal Soul.. look them up!

[@LolliSweet82]

@Sergio S Well, these don't really have metal parts, but rock mixed with soul/R&B type stuff: •En Vogue - Free Your Mind •Janet Jackson - Black Cat •Michael Jackson - Earth Song (it's more of a ballad, but things get super soul-rockish halfway thru the song)

[@omcorc]

Could you imagine being at a Stevie Wonder concert, and all the sudden Metallica comes out and they jam to this.

[@ryneagheilim9782]

And the funky bell bottom wearing people gets ravaged by kids with long hair who headbangs XD

[@HBM72]

It would make history

[@shannonwiedeman5578]

Stevie would dig it too

[@mocotone]

Why do the horns go so perfectly? This is dope

[@RyanPace]

For the same reason Metallica worked so well with Michael Kamen. There's a symphony aspect there that horns or an orchestra just meshes with perfectly.

[@sabershenanigans]

Well, don't you know that you ALWAYS throw the horns in metal...!?

[@johnwentz2149]

Because the sad but true riff and the clavinet lick are basically the same.

[@NotAlrightSpider]

I played this at a gig in a small but packed bar in Queens NY I used to DJ at back in the day, and the whole damn crowd went ballistic. They loved it. People from their 20s to their 60s rocked out to this track. It was crazy.

[@npatil85]

as they should

[@moneyuncensored]

Fantastic haha!

[@stevenrodriguez9655]

What bar in Queens

[@CurvedSlightly]

I think we might have a new DJ mixing genre!

[@matthewlewis6471]

Dude I’m playing this live with my band. It kicks and people love it!!It doesn’t hurt that it’s SO fun to play!!!

[@jeremiahmorris1852]

I've been listening to mashups for a few hours and I came to conclusion, metal blends in perfectly with just about every genre

[@hf3923]

I reckon it's mostly because they have pretty consistent slow riffs

[@MrTheWanz]

Distortion makes everything better

[@heikkisuora2500]

@@hf3923 No, it's because they have good melodies. Dance pop is basically metal with a different sound. Beethoven in just metal plain and simple.

[@folsum53]

Thats also because Metal has taken inspiration from just about every Genre

[@reflexivemovement9271]

I've been wanting Abba and Air Supply Metal for years

[@MichaelKinzer]

Now THIS is the music of the future. Imagine blasting this while cruising across a post-apocalyptic landscape in your rusted armored vehicle.

reminds me of debut patton era FNM, cuz that dude has some soul in his pipes. just listen to FNM cover Lionel Ritchie (Commodores - Easy. i'm not into that type music until I saw them do this on Letterman many years ago and I wasn't really a big Patton fan, i rathered the punkrocker in a dress era We Care A Lot lol.

[@red_rogue73]

beha8tin Faith No More flirted with it.

[@sethcragan6908]

Definitely Faith No More were kind of feeling this kind of sound. Also Living Color.

[@mottmatt7844]

beha8tin Funk Metal is pretty similar

[@hollowshadowmusic]

You should check out Zeal and Ardor.

[@MrRayen123]

Stevie is now officially a member of Metallica and your argument is invalid...

Better than Lou Reed with Metallica. (RIP Lou Reed)

Tom Pinkerton right? Instead of lulu metallica should have done something with stevie
