Zac Brown Band - Enter Sandman - Napa Valley CA 5/12/2013

The Zac Brown Band played Enter Sandman in Napa Valley CA on 5/12/2013

[@timfortune9]

When you go to a country concert, you don't expect to hear Metallica. Then they rocked it.

[@samuelmauldin9131]

They sure did! Metallica is my all-time favorite band, Jason Newsted is my favorite singer in the band! Enter Sandman was done in a very epic way, especially with Jimmy's solo!

[@jfbratman]

what i love is that this is a COUNTRY concert and yet the second the song start the crowd erupts and every one puts up the horns....music is universal.

[@ericm2321]

For y'all who aren't musicians... understand that an established band with charting songs of their own to cover another musicians/band is the ultimate gesture of respect

[@razorm4527]

Yup agreed its a honor indeed

[@TheConvertable50]

And the fact Metallica let them play and film it

[@nateca3810]

When the intro to Enter Sandman starts, and the crowd immediately knows... Now THAT is a statement...!

[@leandroalves9545]

Nate Ca oi

[@whitewitchqueen]

I know it right ?!!!as I listen I wish mr sandman would visit insomnia bad tonight

[@MrSirViking]

So turns out that if Zac Brown Band ever gets tired of country music they have a career in metal! That Violin solo was awesome! :D

[@evacody1249]

Metal music all ready had there country sound it's called Folk metal: ELUVEITIE - Rebirth kzbin.info/www/bejne/ml7ThKRqgq-gr5o

[@lucianoalonso4389]

They can combine both

[@MrSirViking]

@s0liD_guitařmån The original is Metal. And i would Argue that this is pretty metal too..

[@susangooch7087]

Right on 👍🏻. Zac Brown is from Dahlonega , Ga. & it’s just a few miles down the road from where I live here in Suches , Ga. . I’m just saying . I LOVE ZBB ! I’ve seen Him & the Band oh goodness more times than I can remember. First time was in 2000 . ♥️🎶🎶🎶

[@LJMIE]

Camera man's like; 'Ah, a guitar solo, probably a safe bet to zoom in on the guitar.. Wait, wtf that's the violin??'

[@nicj.tessier1689]

That's a fiddle not a violen

[@trintygamesandrobloxandmor128]

Nicholas Tessier in reality a fiddle and violin are the same instrument, just the style of playing is a fiddle here.

[@williamyocum4774]

I am a metal head and I can't give this enough thumbs up! Great rendition!!

[@MrBac755]

After watching that fiddle solo I now have to rethink my entire musical life...

[@rosswafler]

Zac is most likely the most talented singer, guitar player, and performer in our lifetime, yet he is always willing to give the spotlight to others. What an amazing man?

[@reds7vn644]

Huh? Z is good, but that title goes to Chris Stapleton. Sorry but Stapleton is a far better singer, player and songwriter.

[@ryanthln]

Etta Hinesley excuse me but Corey Taylor and James hetfield would like to have some words with you about this comment

[@mobilegirl76]

This is amazing! Gotta love a country artist who isn't afraid to put another genre of music out there. They did an amazing job; gotta love that violin being played with that much love and it works amazingly with this song. They put their own spin on it and totally rocked this!

[@jaredsmith5733]

HOLY. FUCK!! Outta all people Zac Brown Band covered this song and it was amazing! I have so much respect for them!

[@nosuchthingasnothing]

I'm a metal fan, not a country fan. I may have to re-evaluate that position with this band!

[@jacobgunnell9947]

nosuchthingasnothing the did a song with Chris cornel before he died too

[@jacobgunnell9947]

nosuchthingasnothing heavy is the head

[@gfeast4518]

Haha yeah zac brown is alright they have a couple good songs, kinda remind me of skynrd

[@Taurus19718]

As you should! I'm a metalhead too!!

[@jimmykanuk9092]

nosuchthingasnothing check out rebel meets rebel (Pantera country album) Then check out hank 3 “3 shades of black” As a die hard metalhead you won’t be upset

[@josephdunn6747]

The fiddle solo was one of the best I’ve ever heard.

[@salvadorsalvador4735]

respect to this guys, takes guts and courage to do this.

[@RichMLV]

When you got a Fiddle Player that can cover an Electric Guitar Lead pretty much note, for note, you get SUPERHERO STATUS...friggin amazing!!

[@thesandman4438]

I'm a Metallica fan, and I've got to admit this is one of the best covers I've ever heard. I'm impressed. Kirk's solo on the fiddle was impressive, probably better than he can pull it off anymore. Great job! And as you can tell by my name this is one of my favorite songs of all time.

[@GoCeltics734]

this cover has no business being this good. well done

[@leroydever4761]

I was watching the Pat MacAfee show yesterday and they had Zac Brown on talking about touring and stuff. I think it was pat that mentioned something about this. Had to check it out. Glad I did. Sounds awesome.

[@chrishall2594]

Wow, finally a group that can play this awsome song with actual good vocals!!!

[@tomtomthepipersson6675]

Absolutely tremendous, outrageous, spectacular, country blaster, metal hammer, really really super duper cool. Mad respect for Zac Brown Band.

[@wandawright519]

IM A HUGE METALLICA FAN AND WHEN I HEARD ZAC BROWN BAND DO ENTERSANDMAN I LOVED IT

[@bandaidjoanjett6968]

Amazing..... Now this is what I love about music.....taking the chance to step out of your comfort zone and bring a rocking song to life like this ....not even their style of music but rocked it ....blown away and impressed...

[@KyciliaZabi]

Bruh... WHAT?!?!?! That was PHENOMENAL!!!! Gotta love when known country artists get out of their genre and totally KILL a cover! :D

[@ew1745]

One of the greatest songs of all time!

[@Parrots]

OMG IM A HUGE METAL AND ROCK FAN AND I LOVE COUNTRY AS WELL AND I JUST GOTTA SAY THIS IS THE BEST COVER OF SANDMAN I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!

[@Kardaszpm]

Yeah but half the teenage girls in the crowd are asking their 30-year-old boyfriends "Is this one of their songs ... who's is this?"

[@louisgreenleaf235]

That's true

[@charlottexx9797]

Haha Yep but I'm 13 and this is one of my favourite songs ever I guess I'm not a normal girl tho haha

[@Kardaszpm]

You are a keeper (when u turn 18)

[@louisgreenleaf235]

I'm 16 and have never met a girl who likes Metallica

[@Kardaszpm]

say your prayers little one

[@Aegox]

I swear to God, Zac Brown Band can do virtually everything amazingly.

[@dannyclippinger6639]

+AaronThePaladin They can do virtually anything and do it beter

[@scottinWV]

+Daniel Clippinger I agree. They are a talented bunch!

[@mail4dcm]

+AaronThePaladin The scary part is that they do most of them better than the originals

[@ApplianceOperator]

+Douglas Meeks - Not.

[@charredbananaco5872]

That depends +ApplianceOperator.

[@joshfsykes3970]

I just stumbled across this video and like others have posted the fiddle solo blew my d@mn mind! I knew De Martini was amaze talented , but never imagined just how incredibly gifted the man is on the git-fiddle. My appreciation and respect of him and the Zach band just went way up. Hoping I can catch one of their mid-West shows this year.

[@chediablo2809]

This is GOAT status, Zak and the boys rocked it and rolled it!!!

[@soeasysilofisher5824]

this is the best cover I ever heard... and from a country blues band. life just changed

[@tbcass]

You'd be surprised at how many country bands are Metallica fans. I've seen 2 other concerts by country artists, that covered Metallica songs.

[@jacksonmustaine5202]

tbcass Who were they? out of curiosity

[@imblakeiswear2549]

soeasysilo Fisher there not blues there just plain old "country" singers. well modern country singers. so, you know? not actuall country.

[@lucianoalonso4389]

Tom Cass Luke Bryan did it during All my Friends Say during 2013 concert tour

[@kennelson7559]

Luciano Alonso I saw that live and he was terrible

[@mikebunner3498]

I have had the honor of seeing this band perform. They are amazing - ie - KICK ASS & taking names... I would go to their concert again.

[@firestarsfan]

John adds that darker element as well as that deeper and grittier voice to this song that Zac couldn't do. But moreover, he adds a scarier aspect to this song, especially with how deep he sings the bridge into the last chorus. One of the best covers of this song I've heard.

[@bigfish4965]

I don't care much for country music I fucking love Zac Brown Band

[@enriquesotelo7739]

Hammett's guitar solo... On a fiddle??? Awesome! One of the best Sandman's covers I've ever heard... And this is coming from a huge Metal fan.. Respect! The crowd could do a little headbanging though, just for the mood.

[@haydenmadigan8186]

Enrique Sotelo even with a wah pedal

[@Not_Andrew_Huberman]

Pretty tight

[@zackpodskoc9675]

Don't get me wrong, it sounds pretty badass, but at the point where you've heard Apocalyptica play the entire song as a 4 cello acoustic piece, a fiddle solo isn't impressive in and of itself. Nonetheless, the fiddler, and the entire band, did a fantastic job and mad respect to them for it.

[@BlutigeTranen]

Zack Podskoc it's actually quite impressive because he almost nailed it note for note on a fretless instrument using a wah that isn't intended to work with it...

[@corrihallett-fellows6741]

Enrique Sotelo so how are you able to get past his voice? It dont work, if you can't sing metal music, which he can not. Huge metal fan you say? Really, and how did you manage to miss his singing? The voice blower, doesnt work for country metal.. sorry.

[@dylanlowell4704]

that's what being an artist is. being able to improvise and make something just as amazing as an original. I'm surprised myself. and I'm a hardcore country fan. I didn't think it was going to be good at all. amazing.

[@Benjaminb46]

Sooooooooooo much more respect for the music talents of ZBB….and i absolutely LOVED them before!

[@tnvol9899]

I love bands crossing genre lines. Coming from the birth place of Country music and being a metal fan. I love this

[@JMoondog15]

This is bad ass! The fiddle solo was incredible!

[@NooDLES411911]

He actually nailed it. Didn't miss a note.

[@davidcopperfieldslovechild1924]

That's the coolest solo ever pulled off! Note for note, destroying it!

[@petiddee]

Worst part is that who ever was controlling the camera couldn't figure out it was the guy on Fiddle shredding it hahaha

[@ringlingroad2017]

Johnny Moondog Brady black is so much better

[@TheActiontkr]

What he said!

[@fedorov5549]

Well done! These so called country performers are still rockers deep down. Talented musicians for sure.

[@sharkb8er]

ZBB is impressive. I like that Zac isn't on an ego trip and has to sing lead on every song.

[@joanneschilling5997]

DAMN, chills, chills, chills, awesome rendition, didn't expect that, AMAZING

[@OlympusMons1969]

Just goes to show that a great song is played by every style out there! Killer

[@ffspo]

Omg, this is perfection!

[@peteerickson9037]

No matter what they play ZBB is a flawlessly good group of musicians.

[@7474jd]

Adding them to the concert bucket list.

[@DannyShipleyMusic]

True musicians can do what they like, obviously shown with these guys, they did a great job haha!

[@courtneyb7205]

You can tell this is just a group of guys completely in love with music/instruments and playing together. Because no matter what genre they play it’s almost always flawless. These men are true MUSICIANS

[@PrincessMopar]

I'm a metal head through and through... ZBB nailed it, this is AWESOME!!

[@michaelcoenen3243]

To see someone like Zac Brown play a song like this shows how much this band can take any type of music and show respect to other bands reguardless of the type of music. Great job Zac Brown Band.

[@aarondavis3158]

is dude doin the solo on a fiddle!? mind officially blown!

[@shaynecapps5844]

yeah dude killed it. officially impressed.

[@shaynecapps5844]

+Robert Coleman Thanks for the info. He is very good.

[@jpetty5535]

with a Wah Wah pedal :)

[@Stick0413]

Jimmy De Martini, one of the best out there on the fiddle.

[@90six90]

That shit was fucking incredible

[@tsofan2000]

I guarantee that you won't find anything like this on Country Music radio stations. It's a crying shame.

[@benphillips5517]

Well when i clicked on this video i said to myself "country and metal together? No way!" I was clearly wrong, this is great!

[@charlesdjones1]

Ben Phillips this isn't country, Zac Brown is sellout mainstream garbage.

Hahahaha holy shit it is Trevor.

[@markallmer1658]

I have nothing but respect for a Country Blues band who covers Metalica like they brought the fire to the flame.

[@mattyboy3576]

It’s awesome to be able to perform the Enter Sandman solo, but it’s a whole nother kinda badass to be able to do it on violin

[@Indiscriminance]

Wow. Just wow... My mind is blown.

[@malochala]

Yeah, me too. They not only captured the essence of this song, but they amplified it. Metallica should be proud of this one!

[@FirestarHart]

Zac Brown, you dawg you. Covering rock and metal. Respect man. 😎

[@nickrocker1001]

did anyone else fall in love with the fiddle solo?

[@prototype102010]

Working with what they had, this is phenomenal! And that guy with the beard is scary as al get out! The lead sounds amazing on the fiddle as well... One of my favorite versions of this song.

[@splash5427]

Syrius Melchizedek nope

[@SGTJDerek]

Been listening a lot of ZBB's covers and reading a lot of comments from people. One thing stands out. Just because a Band/Artist primarily plays in one genre doesn't mean they aren't fans of all music. Matter of fact, Ice T said it best. "I feel sorry for anyone who listens to one form of music. Music is music no matter what genre"

[@mikecumbo7531]
