Metallica - Shadow of the Cross (The complete Version)

[develia]

is it just me or is the bass drum very hip hop sounding?

[METALUPYOURASS3996]

@KASYZ250 dude all it is is the riff from all nightmare long played backwards and slowed down

[j1e9a9n0]

exelent!! but the rest of the songs of Death MAgnetic is much better. 

[RockerJack97]

i want to find the tab of this :)

[TUGAmetallica000]

NOT LOUD ENOUGH

[Clike666ness]

@MegaSony3

I didn't say they are shitty, and I know there is a reason for it. Every Metallica/Megadeth fan knows it.

[obiwan3169]

GOD I LOW THAT PART WHEN JAMES IS SINGING: I here it goes on the shadows of the cross :D 

[Clike666ness]

@TheSolidSnake12

Welcome.

[Motorfixxxer]

i guess that they will release many of the songs from mission:metalllica. by the way, lars said they are going to walk into the studio by april

[xxskillzxx0]

@Clike666ness agreed.

[SuperEvilMonkey1]

this would have been one of the best songs on st anger

[CHINOJULTIA]

o that s very good song i like it !

[Ironlord2015]

Sounds like Jaymz sings "hurl the turd i'm in" LOL.....love this song though, would love to hear a proper recorded version released on a future album, but I reckon the chances of that happening are slim to none sadly :(

[axelfullmoon9]

Y do people keep sayin that this is all nightmare long? I can play ANL blindfolded man, I no tht track backwards, and there ain't no way in shit tht this is the main riff from ANL. Metallica rule, long love tha big four!

\,,/ d-.-b \,,/

[williamtrevormcneil]

@axelfullmoon9 listen to the demo of All Nightmare Long, its called Flamingo.

i too didnt get how people were hearing SOTC in it, but then i was listening to the demo and after the distorted part kicks in after the intro its clear as day

[axelfullmoon9]

@williamtrevormcneil thanks, that helped- good riff too. :)

[David15Gomez]

st. anger times?

[sandman887]

JOKE OF THE DAY:

Justin Beiber is better than Metallica ^_^

[dacomb]

@sandman887 better at being the butt of jokes

[unleashed2rage]

@sandman887 I realized that i don't hate Justin Bieber, i just pity him. Metallica's fans are loyal fans who warship the band like gods. Justin's fans are casual teenyboppers who will eventually grow out of the music and forget about him. I realized that when i walked into a pawn shop and i found aLOT of CDs of ricky martin and backstreet boys and none of Metallica. Metallica will be remembered and Justin Bieber and all of the other teen musicians like him will be lost forever...

:P

[Clike666ness]

@unleashed2rage

Dude... Don't say worship like gods.... That would be sadder than Justin Bieber.

[lyesm3]

No I don't think that it's the definitive version...it doesn't sound like "metallica".....it's like the demo of "the end of the line"....the first version was different than the definitive one.

[diegolas666]

FUCK, I love this song RELEASE IIIITTTTTTTTTTTT

[TheShepster80]

there only one song hetfield should of blasting in his drag/hot rod!! FUEL

[xJohnnyBoy94x]

@megadeth3151 may i ask you why you're watching this video then?

[runnersdialzero33]

Don't say it's complete unless you have the real version.

[Clike666ness]

@runnersdialzero33

This is as complete as you will ever get...

[runnersdialzero33]

@Clike666ness Not necessarily true, and that still doesn't mean this deserves to be called complete. Very misleading.

[khammet69]

@megadeth3151 no YOU SUCKS go suck the mustaine´s dick asshole

[saulgunzalez]

metallica is always gonna be the best

[LordoftheAxe06]

well, if you wanted to be picky, All Nightmare Long is actually this song and not the other way around

[sobaku72]

It Sounds like a Load's or a Reload's Song

[StolenFame]

Bob Rock should of took off after Re-Load!!! St. Anger probably would of been St. Wicked!!!

[VinCeXMS]

So epic: To ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-times like this damm. I wish they've released it sounds freaking awesome

[Fond3ll]

Wow... This song was really bad. Good thing it never got released... And Bob Rock is pathetic.

[UnloadMetallica]

@TheBigDickInYourAss Fuck you why the fuck are you watching this video then if you think metallica sucks, go watch fucking lady gaga or some shit

[Clike666ness]

@UnloadMetallica

Why are you feeding a troll.... His name would give that away.

[AvengedHate26]

@UnloadMetallica lol you go man, METALLICA Forever



[comeonewtf]

I want that car!

[CHR33L3]

is it Metallicas song or a cover?

[someguy13]

Sounds really good i like it just whis it made it on St.anger

[haloaddict64]

I have a cover of this song, it is cleaner and more structured, also it has a second verse. Check it out on my profile.

[justinjoewills]

coke and lime ftw

[TYMAN8]

3:06 to 3:18 Lars and his Lime Diet Coke. XD

I like lime soda too. Shame i can't find it anywhere.

[eDrifter1]

fuck you lars

money grubbing nigger.

[eDrifter1]

@TYMAN8

:(

[TYMAN8]

@eDrifter1 :P

[Wiiwillrockyouup]

@eDrifter1 okay dumbass, lets see you make 10 albums and then ill take them all away and put them on napster so you cant have profit for your 30 years of work!

[eDrifter1]

@Wiiwillrockyouup

actually, you are right.

i stand corrected.

[caeraman88]

@eDrifter1  well first of all he's white so you have a problem there.

[eDrifter1]

@caeraman88

ok thank you.

[CustomizedReality]

They used the main riff in Death Magnetic instead...

[hugopereira14]

This was the best song in St.Anger,fuck.They should put it out on the album.

[HorrorObscur]

I love This song !! <3

[Nick89BR]

[Danzig6L0ck]

i wish metallica would do want Danzig did and release a "Lost Tracks Of Metallica" and have all there unreleased stuff since day one "Kill Em All"

[murph1329]

2:10 OMG that's head banging shit right there \m/ \m/

Damn i love death magnetic but now i need my new fix where is the album come on metallica!

[Metalfarupyourass]

i thought Metallica was fantastic from '81, and will be forever... they haven't made one bad album ever : D

[Ironlord2015]

This is fucking awesome...why oh why it was never released is beyond me. The riff is so bouncy, groovy and addictive, and I can't help but bash my air drums to this every time I listen to it. Metallica please take note...lots of fans would LOVE you to release this....a proper recorded version would be amazing...c'mon guys sort it out :-D \m/

[metalmilitiacdr]

they should've released this song. that was a damn nice bel air too.

[PervyJinx]

old, new, present, its all the same guys.. in my opinion they've only improved with age... although kirk needs to A. not wear a Hawaiian shirt, and B. not ever try to dance again...

[guitarknight10]

Kick-ass song and to see the horsemen doing backing vocals together just makes me feel like we still have more to Metallica to come! HELL YEAH!

[gmanhell94]

1:00 starts All Nightmare Long riff.

[xIDEViLDRiVERIx]

Lol honestly! nobody can say anything played by kirk, james, lars, or rob really sucks, pick any full song put together by metallica that you think is crappy or shitty.....now why dont you try learning and playing that full song, whatever album whatever song, learn to play it or just learn the theory behind it and you will soon change your mind and opinion about that song!

[petesilvo]

Jesus.... WTF is that! they should be past that damn st. Anger phase! Don't fuck it up again Metallica...

[Spy4Ever]

that song could be the  best song in st. anger if it was in it

[TWEEKXXROCK]

i hope they put this on their next album. it kicks ass

[fedtheend]

Sarcaim with meaning? they make their own words. this cannot be allowed.

[DominatorDK]

The other video he made with Shadows of the Cross was better

[PatriotIzzy]

I can barely hear the similarities between this and ANL. Not a big fan of this song, although the chorus does sound freakin' badass.

[SkullFace324]

To Metallica: please release the full version of Shadows of the cross.

[sk220691]

@SkullFace324 YEAH, we need to get petitions signed for shadows of the cross and shine/unholy revolver to be released on their next album.

[EdRulez2306]

@SkullFace324 would be kick ass... but they used the riff for all nightmare long...

[halomasterj13]

@SkullFace324 it was turned into all nightmare long.

[TheD4RKmETAL]

@SkullFace324 They used it for all nightmare long...

[ShortestStraw0677]

@SkullFace324 dude i think it shoulda been on death magnetic instead of unforgiven 3 or on st. anger instead of invisible kid!

[KirkRichieRamos]

Download link anyone?

[jrex427]

I don't hear ANL anywhere in this? The main riff or the lyrical part... BTW that main riff is friggin BEAST! Why didn't they release this I'm sure it would have been badass if it were complete!

[TheChronicKronic]

1:03 - 1:20, just speed it up and it's ANL, lol

[jrex427]

I play it on the guitar.. sped up, slowed down etc and it isn't the same riff sorry! I play ANL slow or fast, and then I play this riff fast and slow no match I'm sorry but this isn't even close to ANL, Chord structure and timing regardless of tempo is to different! Speed this up and make it fit ANL!

[metallicarockshard12]

fucking awesome intro!

[kirk45hammett]

man this is awesome

[MetallicA95fbh]

why is there so fucking many good songs that didnt get on DeatH MagnetiC! couldnt they just make a box with all of the songs?

MetallicA=Living Gods

[sayt92]

cant you hear the all nightmare long in the main riff?

[jihad255]

This song was made in 2001 during the presidio sessions, but then james went to rehab, and the entire presidio album went to the trash can, two songs found their way out, the first was titled "more than this" it went on to become "we did it again" the one featuring Ja rule, the other is "shadow of the cross", which became "all nightmare long"

[GeroTV]

1:04

[AdamDaBomb11]

imagine this song much heavier... about as heavy as blackened... would be insanely good.

[masonnomo2]

The intro of the song sounded like Bad Seed at times.

[Nimrod664]

best dressed chicken in town...Metallica's next big album

[WarNerve666]

this songs amazing aside from the intro its to long for it to kick in. but this songs great should have been on the album and replaced stanger. i think st anger was the only bad song offt hat record.

[vintage2tuf4u]

all Metallica albums are great..let's face it.. just imagine Metallica releasing Kill em' all album every year or any of their previous ones, it'll get really boring, it's really great for us hearing new sounds from Metallica, look at the others bands out there, they're don't even experiment new things because they're afraid to lose the fame and fans.. but Metallica, i bet they've lost fans due to their albums...but the rest stays, Metallica is the best, and i'll drink for that!! haha **gulp**

[juggalo2043]

to bad this didnt make st anger this woulda been the only good song off the album lmao

[blockedtube]

every metallica album is amazing, they always were and alwasy will be the best heavy metal band. and having seen them 3 times live i belive there the best live band ever

[Rambo28]

This song is better than a lot of the songs on St. Anger. Dumb that they cut it.

[DimebagVision]

This song makes me want to move to California. METALLICA RULES

[STANGER1234able]

another original metallica song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guyonthisthing]

awesome song |_|

[717thdrummer]

I love this song, I wish this was on the album instead of all within my hands

[nodice214]

HEY GLAD TO SEE REAL METALLICA FANS!!!!!!!!!! people want to call them sell outs but they did what they wanted to do and are still doing what they want to do anything else would have been selling out FUCK EM ALL METALLICA RULEZ

[kirk45hammett]

well, actually they started in 81

[NuclearFudgeFilms]

@kirk45hammett I know they started in '81, I was just saying their first album was in '83.

[kamikaze2800]

Actully the 15 to the 28 of october :)

[xFaD3dxBEASTx]

@NuclearFudgeFilms i feel the same way, well put

[kirk45hammett]

@NuclearFudgeFilms 81 is when they started, but i hear ya man :)

[squshyloopeh89]

@NuclearFudgeFilms i have no idea who u are but i fucking love you

[Psychontinos13]

@NuclearFudgeFilms since '81

[Wiltallica]

@NuclearFudgeFilms its just to easy to spot by ear the garage, old, and new metallica. Garage stuff was them just fucking around. Old metallica stuff is when they were serious, and earned a spot of honor. Anyone who has a taste for more than 3 different drum noises can spot the new metallica without any effort. I'm embarrassed to play the new metallica in public. Fade to black for example from the old metallica, I'd know if anyone didnt like it that they just suck at life. Hope this reconciles.

[Dnoid25]

@Wiltallica Are you really embarrassed to play the new metallica in public? I´m not trying to make fun or anything at all (online fights are stupid). But I think you might be exagerating about that. Death Magnetic was certainly different but not bad at all. So I don´t see what the trouble is. Btw I agree with you with how people who supposebly listen to Metallica cannot recognize songs from Metallica´s past

[Rougeneiara]

@NuclearFudgeFilms only one correction. They've been the best since '81!

[xJohnnyBoy94x]

@NuclearFudgeFilms since 81 buddy

[Golfinnder]

1:05 cool! where can i get that Iron cross ring?

[ClassicFritz]

@ golfinnder...james got it in a little shop in San Francisco...from this shop Cliff got his skull ring which he gave to james before he passed away...

[SeekandDestroy66]

theres a riff in the song that sounds like all nightmare long its fucken bad ass

[slasher10110]

metallica is still amazing!!! fuck all of the whney bitches that are upset cuz metallica hasnt released 9 master of puppets... METALLICA FOREVER!!!

[Dr3amDisturb3r]

st angerish not bad i hope to see it soon as a single

[SmittyBaGitty]

good luck

[brian092]

fuck yeah man!

[dbzsony]

I love how the main riff of the song was slowly progressing and changing into All Nightmare Long.

[dresio666]

Everyone who says that Metallica "died after..." is just a simple jerk. Go, educate Yourself; learn a little about art, learn a little about music. Read a book (even a short one). And after that go and try to coment

METALLICA 4 EVER!!!

[hetfield4president]

Dude, thats exactly whats on my mind everytime I read some sort of "Metallica sold out"-bullshit.

Can I please have the permission to paint your comment on my wall? ;-)

Hail you and Hail MetallicA

\m/

[zatch32]

Last time I checked James, Lars, Kirk, and Rob are still alive.

[FilthxHate]

Vocals Just like St. Anger era.

[mrmogensen]

hmmmm... i wonder why....

[Aviancie]

The main riff is in Nightmare, but it's played backwards, go listen to the Nightmare demo.

[valus471]

It would have been nice if this song was on St Anger instead of Dirty Windows or Sweet Amber...

[sater3400]

i love this song!!

thanks dude

[PervyJinx]

Yeah this song does kick some serious ass, I like St. Anger anyways, but this would have made it ALOT better.

[DEFINEMETAL]

i would have given this album an extra star if this was on

why wasnt it on

it owns

[whatisabercowich]

Yeah, but it served a greater purpose becoming All Nightmare Long

[DEFINEMETAL]

no you miss understand me

this should have been on st anger album, and the rest of the rest of the st anger album should have been the same.

and this is not the riff for all night mare long,

it may have similar chords which lead metallica to writing all nightmare long.

[MetallicA4658]

i like this song. all of there songs have inspired me to play. if you guys can make any of there songs sound better then you can talk trash about their songs but since you cant you have no room to talk :P either fix the version or shut up and enjoy the song. easy as that

[KJBPj]

I am not ttrying to trash them,trust me,I love them as if they were family,I live and breathe metallica,all I am trying to say is we want some thrashy sounding hard as hell stuff before they get to old to do it,getting tired of the 90's sounding stuff, that is ALL I AM SAYING.I think all nightmare long was getting REAL CLOSE TO THE SOUND fans are craving from the guys,that was just your life was great to.

[KJBPj]

Metallica needs to get AWAY FROM THIS SOUND IN GENERAL,just listen to SHINE,that is the sound we metallica fans want,not this,this is just hard rock,not thrash metal.FANS ARE READY FOR A GREAT THRASH ALBUM BEFORE THE GUYS GET TO OLD TO DO IT.D.M almost had it until I heard end of the line and unforgiven to-many.Time to move back to thier roots COMPLETELY.

[whatisabercowich]

Couldn't agree more

[DaPetorian1]

that would be death magnetic

[Jopeyy]

the drums suck .. but its a decent song

[slantyrock]

if this song was arranged better it would blow ANL away for sure, the riff sounds so much better

[TheSTRIK9]

Fat fuckin' hetfield riff.This shit shoulda replaced unforgiven 3 or that 10minute instrumental on magnetic. I hope they put the whole version of this out one day,instead of this pieced together shit.

[attahrim]

What are you talkin about man, Suicide and Redemption is one the most wonderful pieces of music i've heard so far. Instrumentals are the quintessence of Metallica's music.

[choptop1218]

Since "Call of Ktulu" & "Orion", Fuck Yeah...

[willdrummer33]

kickass riff!!!!

[Mo7Vsta]

i think this could have replaced something on St. Anger, this is more "older" sounding unlike the rest of the album

[metalinchen]

the main riff is killer! does anybody have the tabs for it?

[petejt]

@metalinchen , just play along to it, not that hard to learn.

[Razorback613]

All Nightmare Long makes this version seem like it was written by amateurs. Hell, all of Nightmare is at least 10.6 times better than this crappy song.

[choptop1218]

No..."Flamingo", The Demo version of "All Nightmare Long" Destroys both Fucking Versions and puts 'Em six feet under. It's "All Nightmare Long but with This Riff, at a faster Tempo yet slower than "Nightmare" But They're tuned Down Half a Step maybe a Whole. It's really Fucking Ronchie!!!!!!!

[jdpcrs]

I'll admit. I'm one of about 4 people that actually enjoyed St. Anger. But this song... This alone would have improved that album's credibility. The chorus is... eery.

[choptop1218]

Dude I liked St. Anger....

[caralhotephoda]

cmon

everything metallica did Kill, Ride, Master, Justice, Black, Load and Magnetic are awesome but reload and st anger just suck

[choptop1218]

Dude Are you kidding Me?! Say what you want about St. Anger but Leave Reload out of It! Load and Reload are two of the Fucking best Hard & Southern Rock albums ever released!!!!! (And Yes I know they're from California. "Reload" has more of the Southern Element than "Load")

:D

[alrajja]

No you come on.. You gotta love at least one song from Reload & St. Anger.

[caralhotephoda]

ure right i do love one song from reload - the memory remains... nothing from stanger though lol

[starsiegeRoks]

I like st anger too

[alfranri666]

very good song

[makboy101]

How did u get this song?

(and all the other ones)

PLEASE RESPOND

[turkeychickenmonkey]

That chorus should have been used in All Nightmare Long instead of the one they had. :/

[hghgghffhf]

sweet

[PatriciaBraga95]

This could have ben big , its better than must of the songs in st. Anger .

[kirk7622]

de la pure balle !!! un grand bravo a metallica ils sont expetionnelles ;) !:!!

[PaulWayne]

this sounds better than most the songs off anger.

well all of them except some kind of monster, thats a choon

[xavetsonia]

anyone has a tab of this song??

[franksv222]

the drummy intro is fuckin cool, but i hate that kind of picking, it musnt be there.

[jaimetaler0x]

Actually this was a demo for St. Anger, not for DM.
