one - in bluegrass style - iron horse

[superpunisher119]

iron horse rules!!!

[kennyt2011]

gotta get me a banjo now!!!!!

[sharonb314]

DocStzaJay, pretty grim song, you lightened it up a bit. Thanks.

[DocStzaJay]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!!!!

[Shredderssteve]

Fucking awesome. Nothing more to say.

[rammstien111]

i vow to hence forth play only banjo!

[xBrokenHarmony]

Gay. Fake and gay. Fake.

[newbiemage123]

@xBrokenHarmony yeyeyeyeye yeyeye yeyeye hahahahaha. trolololololo lololo lololo hahahaha hahahahahaa

[WHlTEDEVlL]

not hardcore enough

[metallicaguy94]

I'm just waiting for the Slayer album haha. Gotta keep an open mind

[policiaX]

@metallicaguy94 A Slayer album of Bluegrass??!! NO WAY!! Where's the release day?!

[metallicaguy94]

@policiaX I'm just kidding haha, but it would fucking terrific.

[policiaX]

@metallicaguy94 We should wait for a Cannibal Corpse album hell yeah!

[metallicaguy94]

@policiaX As much as I dislike Cannibal Corpse, it'd certainly be something to see

[Turtle3711]

As a musician and songwriter,,,this is Completely astounding these guys are able to make it sound REALLY good as bluegrass. And yes this takes REAL SKILL to pull off a metal song with bluegrass instruments. TRUE ARTISTS THESE GUYS

[cj1212121]

For all you people raging about how they hate it: Kirk Hammet himself has heard these covers, has been asked about them in interviews, and he _loves_ them.

[SableWere]

@cj1212121 I learned o the covers from Pandora, and i now love all of them that i've heard.

Nuff Said.

[ghostfoto74]

Man I been listening to iron horse for about an hour now and I gotta say, these dudes are rockers man, just in their own way.

[Solomdoobler]

they shoulda had the massively awesome solo at the end.. it woulda made my lifetime.

[ToxinMortalis]

Probably the most relaxing version of this I have ever heard.

I actually think I like it better than the original!

[BadlandsWyatt]

Banjo playing isn't as hard as it looks =P

[gringobeans33]

THIS IS SUCH A INSULT TO METALLICA....STUPID FUCKIN HILL BILLIES

[mini6ulrich66]

@gringobeans33 Your an insult to mankind. Jump off a high cliff with a short rope around your neck.

[katiedid80]

This style is so complex..no reverb just the players playing sooo many notes in each measure. If you are an electric guitar player, just try to go acoustic, quite a challenge.. thats why the mandolin is 'chunking' he's actually the drumbeat! I love this stuff and I love the originals too..

[Chorkthrall]

two words: seldom scene...if you don't know now you know

[MrZaige]

nnnnoooooo!!!! this isnt bluegrass if u want to hear true bluegrass then look up groups like moutain heart,Alison crouse,J.D. crowe, blue highway,or balsam range

[JDRBNFB]

Are you kidding - I'm a metal maniac and I love this! It's a throw in the face of all the wusses out there that think metal isn't musical.

[ULAPZ]

This is a really awesome idea for a cover band, and it also just so happens to sound amazing! I wonder when they start doing country Cannibal Corpse, or Doo-whop Slayer

[quickglimpse101]

this is chilling.....even more than when I first heard Metallica do it. Guess because it reminds me of my grandparents......love how this makes bluegrass relevant to kids my age (30 and younger)

[Justin13Gilbreath]

Metal is more or less simplified bluegrass with distortion pedals at times.

[SeanoMatic54]

i have metallica tattooed on my arm and i still really enjoy this...its so incredible

[daneology]

Most underrated band ever. They can turn any song cover into something amazing.

[Eddiehunter05]

yeah this is awesome

[Telelikeitis]

I love and also play bluegrass, but where is the audience for this?

[PRON3BLOCK3D]

@Telelikeitis RIGHT HERE MAN! but i think i like all the origionals better. but this is still wicked

[Telelikeitis]

@PRON3BLOCK3D This is very good music. All the musicians are very good. Also I listen to Metallica too, I like all kinds of music. But if we went to a festival and started playing Twisted Sister on bluegrass instruments they'd bombard us with snuff cans, understand what I'm talking about?

[PRON3BLOCK3D]

@Telelikeitis i understand exactly, its just a big double standard

[capianalan619]

I heard the Crazy Train cover and it gave me shivers.

[sillyearthling]

this is fantastic! 

[ficken3]

Too bad they don't have the solos at the end (the best part of the original song). Banjo sounds really good when played really fast. That would have been cool.

[frizzeh]

Anyone who claims to be a metal head only listens to shitty metal.

[shaneandangelia09]

i love love love this!!!! I have always loved bluegrass!!

[ezwolverine]

not much of a blue grass fan but this is prety beast..... the voice of James just cant be bested, so that is the only aspect where this lacks.

[MrROTT41]

wait .................the song isnt done!!!!

[itz4sking]

Honestly this is pretty good, but if you want to hear some bluegrass covers that will make you feel like your life has been changed forever listen to pickin on zeppelin. They are great, no quarter is my favorite of theirs

[metalmongar]

I love both versions of the song, I myself being a metalhead, but this version has much more feel to it, its got more sadness, its depressing and I love it

[SVTristan]

I'm a huge fan of metal and I appreciate Iron Horse's faithful bluegrass recreations of Metallica's songs like few other covers out there. Whether you can take bluegrass or not, nobody can truthfully deny that they did a competent job on these.

[TacticalCitySlicker]

Anyone else got goose bumps from this?

[MsMissdimples]

U guys r fucking amazing XD rofl!

[analubalitious]

ok,.. I like it the concept, but why'd they not use the best part of the song? I felt like I just watched the first 3/4 of Titanic and then got punched in the balls. All crap, but you sit through it knowing the good part is coming but then, nope - denied. Like getting a BJ from a really ugly hooker who doesn't even let you finish.

[long6live6metal6]

i just knew about this type of music, honestly i liked it and i think its great i mean look at apocalyptica they r using cello and violin to do metallica's song and no one hates them but what i didn't like in this song is the last part

if they play it like the real song i think it will be so epic

[metalbullitt]

Skret117, I appreciate your loyalty/enthusiasm but everyone has a right to interpret and feel songs in different ways. I've been a serious metalhead my whole life (Including industrial metal like Fear Factory and Static-X) and i think this shit is SWOOEETT sounding :D haha.

[TheChunkyluver53]

metal heads have to be open-minded about this as much as those bluegrass artists are open-minded about metal

[policiaX]

@TheChunkyluver53 Open-minded Metalheads are true metalheads.

[MrBlotterman420]

@policiaX yes sir. that's the god damn truth.

[Skret117]

I don't know, thats Iron Horse is good or bad.

Metallica is just perfect, and if something is perfect you cannot scre w it up.

[FilthBandit]

to all who dislikes this..........fuck you lol

[muleMcKinley]

FUCK YES!!

[FrederikMeyer]

any banjo tabs?

[Sprtzfnjr]

dude that harmony they have is pretty sweet.

[ozzykitten666]

One on a banjo sounds pretty bad-ass. The singer's voice isn't the best, but I give these guys credit. They're doing something that very few bands are willing to attempt: crossing two genres of music that are on two opposite ends of the spectrum. I think I am going to try to get my grandparents into Metallica now, however. They love bluegrass and I think might be right up their alley. :)

[Footballist2011]

HAPPY ONE!!!

[FarmallDoctor]

Absolutely wonderful! Bluegrass is the genre claimed as nectar of the gods.

[yaro112]

lol



[NOGODnever]

bluegrass is not the original thrash. whoever thinks so has no idea what thrash is. hint metallica isnt thrash. Slayer is thrash metallica was just metal. now there are just old gay fucks envious of korn husking middle aged queers.

the term sell out hardly is enough for metallica.

i understand that bands evolve but have the decency to change your name when you no longer are playing metal.

What would cliff do?

[Psyence1987]

@NOGODnever You do realize that people that are saying bluegrass is the original thrash are making whats called a joke. The comparison is funny because both genres are totally unrelated, especially in how they came to exist. As for Slayer, believe it or not, people do age. They do get older. However, they did stay true to their thrash roots which, in my own personal opinion, is something to be respected.

And Metallica are absolutely sell outs. But I don't understand why people see this in

[Psyence1987]

@NOGODnever a negative way. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Metallica sell out tickets at every gig? Don't they have their own official merchandise? Didn't they sue people over Napster because people were depriving them of money. That's not making music for your fans, that's making music for money. That's called selling out. That is the DEFINITION of selling out.

And who the fuck are you to tell any band to change their name if they're no longer playing metal? Pull your head out of

[Psyence1987]

@NOGODnever your ass, man. Bands play what they want, when they want, how they want and there's not a fucking thing you can do about it.

What would Cliff do? Go fuck yourself. Speak for yourself and no one else.

Also, on another note, this cover is awesome. Props to these guys from some originality and bringing new life to an old song. Hats off.

[mikc96]

these guys make me feel like i really want a banjo!

[Reubennige]

Good tune, yes.....

[MichaelForNow]

I think I have found my calling in life.

*Goes to start a Bluethrash Grassmetal band*

[beggnuts]

@MichaelForNow  i like it

[2kidzzz]

blugrass thash is awsome........sounds like these guys had the song first and metallica had sloppy 2nds......lol no dis on metallica.....best song yet ...im goin through out the library of yall

[2kidzzz]

blugrass thash is awsome........sounds like these guys had the song first and metallica had sloppy 2nds......lol no dis on metallica

[edgmule]

This is pure win. 

[bigjared420]

Bluegrass = The original thrash.

[levisz93]

OMG metallica has gone hill billy on us

[dre1008]

bluegrass is awesome.. all the people talking shit about this are stooopid. these players have more skill in their lil pinkies than you fags got in your narrow brains.

[jmanjojo]

@dre1008 i tottaly agree and im a metal head. lol. but this is just pure tallent

[krazy5000]

@dre1008 haha thats not true at all! i like this song but my friend hates it and hes a pretty goddamn good drummer

[bvaia]

@dre1008 true there is talent in everything except pop music.

[JonasHater96]

*he thinks vietnam the other guy was thinking gulf war* lol

[Malaka721]

Hella sick to see a totally different style of music and culture doing metallica songs! Badass Bluegrass!

[tinfoilhatguygs]

Good going from a Korean in Alabama.

[DanielvanHarmelen]

banjo's just suck, sorry guys, its true. Still, metallica is awesome, so i gues this must be too. BUt not because of the banjo's.

[Danman429]

@DanielvanHarmelen Well, I'm sure we're all very glad to hear your input, but I like the banjo. And just because you say that it "sucks" doesn't mean it actually does. Your reality tunnel's different than mine therefore neither of us can say whether or not the banjo really does suck. No one can say whats wrong or right, therefore you think it sucks. It's not "true" but you have the whole right to say it is.

Namaste

[ThorDog81]

@DanielvanHarmelen Guess some people have no ear for music.

[PauseNoHomo]

@DanielvanHarmelen u are a puppet bitch....saying shit like "i guess it must be awesome too" form ur own opinion and stop being a bitch....oh and all kinds of music can sound fuckin awesome if u have an open ear.

[JonasHater96]

@DanielvanHarmelen banjos rule your piss ant ukelale!!!!!

[amcariveau]

this is fucking awesome.

[lvanciel]

i love this song and this version but i like the orginal more but i love bluegrass also if you have a problem with that i don't care

[keepthrashalive]

@lvanciel couldn't of said it better myself buddy, love metallica's version better but these guys did a great job

[rocketpower67]

uculeleee yeah



[xXR0dr1g0999Xx]

@rocketpower67 Yeah amigo uculele xD

[xXR0dr1g0999Xx]

@rocketpower67 yeah amigo uculele xD

[itdano]

Wow. This is one of the most powerful songs I know and the subject matter lends itself really well to this style of music. Incredible.

[mudthirsty]

this is an awesome cover. I like all sorts of music, and can appreciate the cover of this song with the fiddle and stand up bass. sounds amazing! rip it up all you want.. just cuz you don't like bluegrass, doesnt mean it isnt good.

[scarstar0]

are you SERIOUS?! its terrible sounding!

[IrishCheese777]

I wonder if Metallica have any idea that they've been covered by a moonshine-swiggin' inbred BRILLIANT bluegrass band :D

[sammylasi]

@IrishCheese777

There's a video in the suggestions where kirk hammett says he does know about this album :P

[DarkLordNagash]

Bluegrass is supposed to be fast, very rythmic and sort of happy, right ? This is Metallica's saddest song, maybe not the best song to cover in bluegrass style because of that, but it's enjoyable and still good.

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

better than the original

[kidguko1]

@JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion are you fucking high? good yes. Better then the original, not possible. this is arguably one of the greatest metallica songs, and also one of the greatest rock metal songs of all time. there is no chance this version is better. Go listen to the original and re-think your decision on that comment. thanks.

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

@kidguko1 i got bored with this song 4 or 5 years ago, i honestly dont see why metallica is so popular

[Artersa]

@kidguko1 OPINIONS?! CANT HAVE THEM HERE CAN WE?

Caps Lock is Cruise control for cool, just a reminder.

[othl12]

@JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion shut up and go fuck your aunt and sisters hillbillie

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

@othl12 hah im no where near a hillbillie, i just appreciate good music.

[othl12]

@JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion , just to far of the reality , but well someday you will wake up, better than the original  moron

[mattronimus]

@JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion hahahahahaha have you ever herd the origianal

[JoKeRzCaRdProDucTion]

@mattronimus yeah it sounds like shitty overplayed nothing original rock, like every other band today that claims to be "Metal"

[j0U5Hb0XXX]

cover it if youre gonna cut out the best part!

[metalheadbandit]

@j0U5Hb0XXX lol i got sad that they did not cover the best part

[Kyramor]

Weren't these guys on the last episode of America's Got Talent? They won't get anywhere on the show, I'm sure, as they were only covered in a quick summary of good acts, but I had to rewind and go "holy shit, really?"

[JesusKrispies]

Better than the original in every way.

[izzyfamily]

This is great! who'd a thunk? Metallica in Bluegrass?

[fearl1f3]

did they do the solo for this song????????????

[mitchskater]

@fearl1f3 no

[carolinatinpan]

Another cover of one.

[LadyAltheaIsMe]

@carolinatinpan the BEST cover of one ever done.

[thuggvicci]

i like how they used the old dude's vocals instead of the other dude

sorta gives it a more sadder tone to it

[backwoodsandwater]

YESSS HELLL!!!! I love this shit. Since I am a country boy but lovin the metal too!!!

[BigAlbinoDonky]

Why aren't these guys at every big festival and metal tours? They are awesome.

[Mikefromtrenton]

THis is awsome. This works really well as bluegrass.

[bk4775]

It takes some great musicians to combine bluegrass with Metallica and still make it kick ass.

[naous]

GREAT!!!! that's a very beautiful tribute to Metallica.

[LB10671]

Nice remake.

i dont care for bluegrass but i still gave it 5 stars.

[juanverde2009]

yeah

[imadey0utube]

I can understand the lyrics better. xD

[wilsonlrob]

loved it all escept the last part. should have rocked the end out instead of overdubbing the last lyrics. Still awesome though

[athene58]

jajajaja.. so funny song! jajajaja... =3

[MetallicAsDevel]

nice shit. soooo bad ass. im surprised above the head.

[NuggFox]

OMG...hahahaha. That's sooo bad ass.

[TheKallup]

Wow! When i heard of these, i wasn't expecting to be positively surprised, but... wow

[silkus69]

wow this was nice shit!§!!

[switters3]

I'm not a big Metallica fan(Megadeath,baby!) but it's all about arrangement and these guys found the best parts of this song and rocked it.

[silveroon009]

lol first learn to spell Megadeth please

[monkeyx17]

this is actually class!! ha ha ha ha

[GuyNamedSteve2]

What the fuck is this? This song is not to be some peppy ass shit! It's supposed to be sad. Not making you want to dance! I'm from Kentucky and I think this is a disgrace and otherwise missuse of the bands talent.

[mitchskater]

cool i want to hear your arrangment of this song it should be better

[Kyramor]

Yeah, because reinterpretation is stupid.

...oh wait, that's the whole point. If you're gonna redo a song, why not make it your own? A new articulation is far more interesting than mere imitation.

[Chronologo]

a lesson to all those "hardcore metal listeners" who think that metal is the only good genre.

PS: I listen to metal, I was one of those "only metal guys", so I know what I'm talking about...

[xveraxjoanx]

same here :D

[darthmamdouh]

Same here bro : I remember the days where I thought anything less than metal was "wuss music"... Then I eventually grew out of my teen years :-) But I still love metal... and rock... and classic music... and jazz... and funk... and drum 'n bass... It's all part of growing up and broadening one's horizons I guess !

[LiberationArmy]

One o' their best covers...

[jucamo007]

cool as hell!!!

[kalloused]

this is really, truly beautiful.

[AxmetKaraxasan]

ITS AWESOMEEEEE

[magnumclimber]

not sure about the talking part at the end. neat idea but for me it took away from the awesome harmony taking place.

[philosophermike]

hehehe, this is pretty cool

[lordi]

im a huge metalllica fan.. been to see them live a bunch of times and i love this band iron horse these covers r top notch love the new spin on an old classic! and i dont even like country music but i love this!!

[djf2451]

Not taking anything from Matalica But this has got to be the best version out there ! This should be the DAV national anthem ! Thank You IRON HORSE from a former 70's Airborne Ranger 64c Bravo Co. 5th Bat. Unit 2 This version should be played from time to time at the traveling wall ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~­~ Does anyone know of any Iron Horse Videos ? These guys are very good !

[metallica662200]

this is no where close as good as the organal version metallicas version is twice as better

[teargas501]

now i cant stand metallica, not to say they arent talented, but i dont like them. BUT I LOVE THIS

[chacholoco]

jajajaja me gusta me gusta que gran trabajo jajaja

[podfunaug30]

these guys are great.... the cover makes so much sense!

[eyepatchinc]

wow... i'd actually buy this cd.

just goes to show you how great metallica's music is that it can transcend all genres!

[huskylax22]

the intro is epic, i think ive listened to it like 3000000 times? Keep up the amazing work :20-:50 is heaven to my ears!!!

[PyroManiac10]

They played this song over the PA after the concert in Cincinnati Spetember 15th. Great cover.

[Sobiur]

I'm a huge Metallica fan but this is even better!

lol joking, but this version is great though!

[moparman93]

This song rules just think if some shitty rap group did this song i will take bluegrass over rap any day

[interstellartravel]

then you know fuck all about music. Your too narrow minded. I bet you liked St. Anger didnt you?

[tubaguy821]

Actually i do...im a music major, dumbfuck...this doesnt do the song justice PERIOD.

[trexilll]

You realize where rock came from, don't you?

Mr. Music Major lol

[MuTheta9]

there's no need to go slamming records. but i do have to agree that there are some narrow minded people out there.

Remember kids, it's better to be silent and thought a fool than speak and remove all doubt.

[RikkudoSennin]

Whats wrong with St. Anger?

[Neodius]

Ask from millions of Metallica fans, you'll get the answer. ;D

[erock7207]

go to COMBO DE LA MUERTE site

[imjkyounoob]

This cracks me up xD

[evilchipmonk2k9]

sniel ze powah of ze banjo iz in uz all

[Todd1971]

I saw these guys on TV, They are very talented. I'm a HUGE Metallica Fan, these guys did a great job !!

[jessicajordan25]

Awesome, brings a new flavor to the emotion in the vocals, making you hear how sad it actually is.

[Ceranic28]

just baught this album, gota love it's quirkiness

[trapperjohn3400]

lucridis is right, they should try to make thier own songs, there good enough to not need just covers, they should make original material.
