Metallica - Am I Evil? (cover)

[PokerPekka]

Awesome! Check out my cover of Am i evil. Rock on dude!

[GLAMx18]

Very good



[jimikimball]

CHEATER!! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO HAMMER ON AND PULL OFF THE INTRO SOLO!!! But other than that nice job.

[tpugh3420]

I wish people would play without the song in the background lets hear just you.

[Slayer9577]

Casually looks around when doing the epic finger tap solo

[ScooterAndOtis]

dunno if anyone knows this but when that first solo at 1:30 or something starts you dont have to keep strumming. ive seen tatler play it and he just one hand taps it, no need for strumming. dunno why kirk does it though, maybe hes never seen tatler play it.

[blaze310metalV]

the cover of a cover

[metal4eva16j]

This is really good man!

Am trying to get my band to learn this! Its a kick ass song, and you did it justice!

Good Cover \m/

[betocabrera123]

FUK YOU WHITE BOY!!!

YOUR GOOD!!! xD

[psalvacion]

nice...awesome man

[TK4381]

[iScreamAimandFire]

You look like a substitute teacher I've had this year.

Sick cover btw.

[blakebrown001]

heyy man answer me this question will ya. what inda guitar is that and what pickup u using in the neck pistion and also what pedals u running through

[IsAaC18PO]

I was the view # 50001

[Hypastpist]

The acoustics are off but you got the EVERYTHING dead on!

[Luis97Chavez]

Fucking awesome

[Emnemyy]

Woah, completely different to how I play.

any tabs?

Cheers

[Anexator]

Really good cover! Quite Accurate. :D

Good Job. :D

[SwaggaBoy666]

I noticed you played on the neck pickup the whole time lol unless it's reversed or something

[Noodleguitar]

@SwaggaBoy666

Yeah, I can't remember exactly but I think I did that because on the bridge pickup the recorded sound is even worse with this camera.

[someoneforhim]

How long did it take you to get the main sol down. I still working on that part.

[RandomBlueMonkey]

@creepingdeath171 You're right no one gives DiamondHead credit it is their song and Metallica covered it. Metallica is awesome but I listened to the original before I heard this.

[caligaris27]

is this solo hard??

[damelapipa]

great

[escherdrawinghands]

Damn man, it's either you who's too fast for the cam or you should get a better cam! However, nice work, man... I seriously enjoyed this

[420Blacksabbath]

Why do you use your pinky to play a power chord?

[Noodleguitar]

@420Blacksabbath

It's so that I don't have to bend my ring and middle finger to play a power chord.

[narahalo97]

@Noodleguitar i use my pinky also

[rmarino4471]

@420Blacksabbath same way i do it. when you have long fingers its easier just to bar it.

[tankie2ndrtr]

@420Blacksabbath I do also

[guruvag]

@420Blacksabbath cuz thats how ur supposed to play power chords at higher frets....

[nudger70]

gr8 job man

[CxntMuffinLylee]

amazing!!!how long did it take you to learn this?

[ilohveSP]

wow



[F371000]

freaking awesome bro

[luciferuA]

DIAMONHEAD FUCKS METALLICA IN INFLUENTIALITY !!! BUT METALLICA ANALLY FISTS IN HEADBANGIALITY !!!

[PitchBlackPrism]

16 people couldn't tell a great musical performance from a hole in the ground

[asfn007]

Simply outstanding

[Bipolarcrusade]

Ibanez, nice choice

[O135K]

the only thing I saw was a blur where your hands were supposed to be when the solo came :D awesome!

[iScreamAimandFire]

Its from Diamond Head, not metallica.

[PokerPekka]

Awesome cover!

[Jessejames1537]

awesome dude! :) Let us hear some more!

[wwwmatflowww]

Wow me matoo MUY bueno :P

[JONY2200]

[andreszwolf96]

the guy who sings is james hetfield?

[xxxslipknotguyxxx]

@andreszwolf96 duh

[UberBussell]

Should send us Gp5 tabs? :D

This is awesome haha.

[elgersonfiguera]

Yeahhhhh you´re evil!!

[guitarm1gu3]

[supernoise]

bienn!!! muy buenoo

[apprentice70]

gosh man...thats pretty good...I can play over 8 metallica songs flawless..but this is the first ive seen a perfect cover of "Am I Evil" nice job. the solo is great.

[ScreamingFoots]

bannana peal ! thumbs up for the fuckin banana peal in the background =3 please?

[creepingdeath171]

i swear everyone talks about this song like its metallicas no one gives any credit to diamondhead i mean its their song i bet im the only one who heard their version before metallicas

[Gagakiller]

@creepingdeath171 now we are 2:P

[Gagakiller]

@creepingdeath171 now there are two of us:P

[MusicDude198]

@creepingdeath171 You're not the only one

[gtaIVlord]

@creepingdeath171 Hey, hes is "covering the cover". Thats why he hasnt said its Diamond Head version, ´Cause hes playing the Metallica version. But yeah, he should written somewhere the song is Diamond´s. Also ur not the only one to have listened the original version.

[creepingdeath171]

@gtaIVlord i know but what im saying is that nobody gives diamond head the credit they deserve and also i never said i was the only one who has listened to the original

[joole5005000]

@creepingdeath171

Ur not the only one :D I heard the original when I played GH :) :)

[creepingdeath171]

@creepingdeath171 i heard it before garage inc was even out it was requested on the radio and i was like omg this song is amazing lol

[Magiffin]

@creepingdeath171 I heard it too. Haha.

[B1gbang090]

@creepingdeath171 I did too !^^



[Pontisto]

@creepingdeath171 i've heard it also first from diamond head, but i have to say i prefer 'tallicas cover, but it's a great song always if any great band plays it. it was played by metallica, megadeth and anthrax at a big four gig. i think a real metalhead should know this song, and its origins.

[PowerfulWorm]

@creepingdeath171 I did too. ;)

[Martyfriedman001]

@creepingdeath171 first time I heard the song was on guitar hero metallica, and its the orignal version by diamonhead, and I loved it

[TheRSWatch]

At the beginning solo of around 1:30 are you pulling off with your pinky?

[Noodleguitar]

@TheRSWatch

Nope, it's all hammer on's.

[Angerycamel]

this is by diamondhead but great cover anyway

[coolasguy69]

great cover mate!

[Catsscratchfever]

HE NAILS IT >>>.......Nice job .... : {)

[overdose311090]

good job bro!

[DGKpresents]

ok ok ok im crying tears of joy and jealousy KEEP ROCKIN BRO! \m/

[getspsycho]

First you look like a bit of the singer from Iron Maiden :>

and second do you have any tabs or notes? I've gp5, if ja you have tabs or notes.

[Noodleguitar]

@getspsycho

Yes I do have a Guitar Pro Tab but I'm not looking forward to share my e-mail with the Youtube community. Lucky for you, the tabs I used can be found easily on the internet like on ultimate-guitar.

[getspsycho]

@Noodleguitar

Yeah but I can't find good tabs at ultimate-guitar.

[SalokinX]

@getspsycho Of course you can. Just look for the ones with 5 stars.

d/diamond_head/am_i_evil_ver2_­tab.htm

Check that one. It is the best. Make sure to read the comments so you'll know all the mistakes.

[romandtlopez]

@getspsycho thatd be bruce dickinson. what kinda metal head are you?

[getspsycho]

@romandtlopez I hear all genre of Metal.

[rla17fl]

HOLY TIT FUCK THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

[adammpapa1]

is that a fender starcaster guitar i see in the back round ? lmfao

[Noodleguitar]

@adammpapa1

Nope, it's a Yamaha Pacifica... but I don't see what's so funny about it in the first place

[mariqtereza]

@Noodleguitar dude i have the exact same one

[Tephradermo]

Van nistelrooy on guitar... jahaha

[hellrider5]

this is absolutely amazing.

[wowisuckatmath]

rthymn guitar ftw

[cocornejo95]

Wow nice cover. I did one too (its not as good lol xD)can you check out my channel

[Alexinside294]

AMAZING MAN! NICE COOVER!

[Jesusvanegas94]

Sorry dude, but  your face makes me laugh xD

[tgbrfvyhnfgh]

@Jesusvanegas94 fuck off jealous dickhead

[Jesusvanegas94]

@tgbrfvyhnfgh Jealous? xD im not jealous, that's stupid what are you saying, and i love how he plays i never said nothuing about that xD

[Metallicafanfrom93]

nice guitar dude....ive got a gibson les paul

[GHfan96]

Awsome Cover. Almost everyone on here is stupid If he wanted to do a cover of the metallica version let him. Diamond Head isnt one of the greatest bands in the eorld anyway. All of Metallicas members are more talented any way. I wouldve liked to see Diamond Head come up with something like Ride The Lightning, Dyers Eve, or Damage Inc.

[binladensassassin]

@gac18 what a shame...

[albertcanalda95]

If you get a better camera, your videos will be the most seen on youtube. Keep on rocking! :)

[zchlyle]

Dude u fuckin raped that solo.

[Quinten264]

Man Diamond Head gets no respect ha ha.

[zupanman23]

Can you tell me do you palm mute at 4:15 at that fast riff? I tried both with palm muting or with normal and i dont know what sounds better...

[Noodleguitar]

@zupanman23

Yep it's palm muted.

[Metallicafanfrom93]

@Noodleguitar he looks like edward cullen from twilight XDDD...

[Metallicafanfrom93]

@zupanman23 DUDE.....amp matters...and it was palm muting....

[waynesgarth]

Everyone knows this is a diamond head song so all you ppl who think your just so cool for pointing it out to this guy, who cares, metallica made it kick ass.

[DowntownTB13]

@waynesgarth not everyone, i didnt until not that long ago, dont anticipate that everyone knows

[swanman35]

you look like malkin

[PaNtMans]

Great cover!

Sht... I can't do the intro solo and you make it see so easy.. xD

[bruceleerules747]

diamond head version is better in my opinion and i dnt get why everyone completely ignores the diamond head version, the metallica version is great but the diamond head one is better

[DirectShot999]

@bruceleerules747 The Diamond Head version is ignored because they aren't nearly as popular of a band as Metallica. Plus, the Metallica version has way more feeling into it.

[bronxe5]

1.) That was AMAZING. Kirk, where did all your hair go? :P But seriously, upload more Metallica covers please. :)

2.) To all the Diamond Head people, notice how the backtrack was Metallica. Metallica plays this song slightly different that Metallica does, so why would he put "Diamond Head - Am I Evil? (Cover) if it is a cover of the Metallica version. GF Trolololololol. :)

[MrMohabHossam]

Man you Rocks !!!!!!!!! keep the good work :D

[FluidDelusions]

wow, amazing cover! u nailed the solo.

just wondering, on the part that´s legato-ed at the beginning (1:27) are you using alternate picking when hitting the strings or just down strokes everytime u hit the string? please, i would really like to know...can´t really tell by just watching. thanks.

keep up the great work!

[Noodleguitar]

@FluidDelusions

It's all down strokes, for every 3 notes I hit the string once (2 hammer on's).

[Qaqa05]

why are u guys hating on him so much! he did a great job here! keep headbanging yaw! i love metallica too! i wanna try to play this one too!

[Tezzindomigo]

You play very very well! Keep rockin'! |,,|_

[metallica1119]

dude that was sickkk. where did u get the tabs?

[DowntownTB13]

@metallica1119 go to "ultimateguitartabs" it will say 30,000+ tabs. i get all my tabs from them. you get an account and you can upload any tab you want

[scottmaskell2010]

its actually done by diamond head

[RANDALMAN543]

You're an evil mother fucker

[mfx999]

is that solo part from 5:36 the same as on the four horsemen?

[DowntownTB13]

@mfx999 no, its different

[xKappash]

Huh? I thought the constant strumming in the beginning was for the rhythm guitar?

[xKappash]

@xKappash: Nvm it's not.

[strikerjess]

whats the best learning method to learn this because ultimateguitar didnt put me things like u played it

[DowntownTB13]

@strikerjess he might play it different than other tabs. it doesn't matter, as long as it sounds right!!

[phreakyfelix17]

I like how during the solo your hand just turns into a blur lol

[jamaicateam]

those were some great 8 minutes. Very well played!!

[us243227]

Noodle- you ROCK man ! I stumbled on this while looking to see if anyone had done Am I Evil (like you have) - Great job! (from a 57 yr old guy!).

[AAMustaine]

hey, what you put your distortion amplifcador? please

[aquaguyadam86]

sweet

[coldfusion99]

u can barely hear ur guitar man.. u got to turn up ur guitar and turn down the actual song...

[spider5001]

Awesome cover man! =D

[MrAntoinedu06]

Very good job men and i listen just this version of am i evil because Metallica Is the best group ;) 5/5

[xXRamza126Xx]

[derekbells]

[JohannesLG12203]

[THEMACKOG]

[MrSomthinglike]

1:25

;DD

[piumaniako]

diamond head makes this song  metallica's song is a cover >_>

[FuFaighter]

uveras puesto Diamon Head , si hisieran un cover de una de mis canciones me gustaria por lo menos q en videos asi pusieran mi banda y no la q hiso famosa esa cancion :)

[ouroboro9]

esq esta esta tocada en la manera en q metallica la hizo

[MikeGSP24]

awesome man

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

...and a good one at that  ;D

[reallybadguitar]

Awesome!

[gutispk]

1:28 are you sleeping? xD awesome you can play this with your eyes closed =D

[joel487]

his eyes arent even closed

[gutispk]

¬¬' I know that

[0rabidproductions0]

actually this is a cover of a cover am i evil? was a cover on garage inc.

[4EVACRISSANGEL]

Woow this is my tenth time listening. I cant get enough!! Fricken AMAZING!!!!!!!! I bow down :)

[4EVACRISSANGEL]

Hi! Uhm you guys r funny lol. I know nothing about guitars or whatever but that was BEAST :)

[Javicho1987]

good job bro

[PressAltF4OrElse]

Your right hand is a blur during the solo. 5/5

[northeastatc]

if your going to put am i evil cover you should put the real song writers in there and thats diamond head saying metallica is a cover of a cover just sayin its kinda a rip

[Noodleguitar]

@northeastatc

What I covered has nothing to do with Diamond Head. I only listened to Metallica's version, I liked that version, so I did a cover of Metallica.

[northeastatc]

it has everything to do with diamond head its their song metallica covered it and so did you thats all im saying your not covering a metallica song its diamond head you obviously dont get it still good vid anyway later

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

he obviously gets what you mean but you are wrong.

if you listen to metallica's version and learn that...then you are covering THEM.

if he ATTEMPTED to cover Diamond Head, it would probly sound a lot different. the tone would have to be WAY vintage early 80's NWOBHM distortion. it sounds a lot more strained &looser. like a cheaper sounding amp really. this has...wetter sounding distortion. and i'm pretty sure kirk's solo is at least a little different. so you see, this is a metallica cover

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

@northeastatc

we aren't fucking "goofy"

if he's using metallica as the fucking backing track its a metallica cover. end of discussion.

[MultiMusician17]

@SeanTheReptileGuru

no, it is not different, not even in the slightest of ways

[SeanTheReptileGuru]

what, the different versions? of course they're different, are you fucking retarded?

the guitar tone: different.

the vocals: VERY different.

thats just 2 points that totally validate my point and kill yours

[RigmsInTheDigms]

@Noodleguitar I'll think you'll find it has a lot to do with Diamond Head, with them writing the music and lyrics and what not, tit. 

[SalokinX]

@Noodleguitar Nothing to do with Diamond Head?

I giggled.

[carlitox47]

woow maan!! I FUCKING ROCK!! ITS EXACLTY AS KIRK'S!! Would you please be so kind and passing me the tabs??

[austin9919]

about 1:20 in i play a lil different when it gets a lil crazy i play it with 3rd and 9th fret finger picking with both hands its pretty hard at first but seeing how good u did wont take u long :P

[krisis99]

you play this good, some parts i play different but either way you get the same sound here

[Infernusism]

diamond heads master peiece.

[mocosnegros]

XXXXXcellent Job pal!!!!. :) Great classic song for our us... The old werewolf 80's pack!!!! ;) I just have 38 years old and this song still make me feel strong!!!! :)

[raimfour]

yah and by the way you FUCKING killed it bro, that was amazing. dont listen to all these fucking haters.

[binladensassassin]

for fuck sake

this song is by DIAMOND HEAD

the most underrated band in existance

[sikuler]

yes and metallica covered this song

[Kayes21]

@binladensassassin everyone nows its by diamond head

[binladensassassin]

@Kayes21 *knows not nows

and no they fucking dont.



[EldubeG25]

@binladensassassin Yes, but he's covering Metallica's cover, witch is more powerfull than DiamonHead's

[binladensassassin]

@EldubeG25 indeed he is.

my point was that the song is originally by diamond head.
