Boy Sets Fire - Fade to Black

[MrWafflesMonster]

Why do a lot of people seem to dislike this cover, it's certainly not the worst i've heard.

[buriedinfrost]

Dipshits. Covers that try to emulate the song to the exact note are pretty lame. Knowing BSF, and knowing Metallica.. it sounds pretty damned good. The two bands aren't even remotely in the same style of music, so to see BSF's spin on Metallica is pretty wicked. And.. have any of you heard Metallica play it lately? They fucking suck playing their old shit now.

[LUXXXable]

@buriedinfrost terribly agree <3 ;)

[Zygmundo]

i dont hear original version but this is rly good

[darkspiritdrummer]

I'm sorry, but that cover suck a lot! Fade to Black is my favorite song ever and seriously, they just killed this song.

[Knucklehead444]

Altough i didn't like his voice a huge amount, its nice to hear an origin al cover. everyone who covers metallica tries to sound exactly like the original. The point of a cover is to play your favorite song and put your spin to it, cause your not metallica playing it. your your band.

[Videostar1another1fa]

This cover sucked,they totally ruined the intro,they sped up the song and vocals wwere gay.

[ArchonKnight2]

XD

Maybe they should have learned the lyrics first. And how to record.

[crazyshit8]

good cover, al the notes are fine the vocals are a bit alright. i dont find this cover bad at all its pretty good in my opinion

[MrMetallicaFan95]

very nice cover!!

but i´m one hell of a big metallica fan so i love the original :D

[TheDragonGuitarist]

sonata arctica is one of the few good fade to black covers on youtube

[Videostar1another1fa]

@TheDragonGuitarist Steel Prophet was also decent,and Disturbed considering that it was a live cover.

[AwesomizedAlex91]

STFU ;D

an listen to music! :)

[adiyo666]

zjebali jeden z najlepszych kawałków jaki kiedykolwiek powstał :/ żal mi tych pojebów którzy wypisują że lepiej niż oryginał... widać że chuj się znają ale to ich sprawa

[raoulthompson]

Covers are pointless without the band inflecting their own style into it, and they do it very well. Love fade to black, love BSF, love covers.

[simpy2000]

better than metallica

[MrIdlehands]

@simpy2000 i agree

[fatalityhawk]

Actually, quite a good cover!

[bassman0704]

they are way off time here. the guitar and drums are so badly out of sync with each other and the vocals are weak.

[MrIdlehands]

@bassman0704 where do they tear? mind you this clearly a one shot take

[neuni111]

0:07 - 0:46

i really like this version of the intro :)

[Ddafen]

wow... this sucked so bad

[Bartreligion]

better than the original

[Dragonzlayer117]

@Bartreligion What the fuck is wrong with you.

[henkanagashi]

Metallica...only them seriously...

[mrunplugged01]

just when you think it can't be worst you get to the ending solo...it sucks so much and in so many levels, there must be a death penalty for such an horrible insult to real music. FUCK YOU GAY SET FIRE!!

[xHorxHayx3x]

They have the nerve to call this fade to black? its terrible

[SUBLIMEDUDESTP]

wtf is everyone bitching at. it sounds like boysetsfire playing metallica and that's just what it is.

[aebarclay]

I love how all these people respond to Boysetsfire, When this is prob the only song they heard from them, a cover, they put there own spin on it, Dont hate on it

[habs13]

Worst. Cover. Ever. Totally butchered.

@sGEO: A form of respect? Maybe. It's still an embarrasement to release such a half-assed piece of crap like this though.

[fatalityhawk]

wow! this is actually fucking good. theres no point in comparing it to the original, thats obvious. but i liked it! good spin on the cover kind of a punk rock fusion. refreshing.

[yesterdaysdreamer]

I love this cover and the two bands, but unfortunately most metallica fans are metalheads who by nature are ignorant as fuck. It's got a great raw feel which is how it should be done by a hardcore band.

[rageagainstboxhead]

wow, this has GAY writin' all over it

[hk44gcutd]

solos sukked,,,

[TheMiowMiow]

what are they doing??? this is ridiculous... !

congrats, now they can join the ranks of all the other bands who failed to cover metallica...

[blacktriplesix]

Damn... Someone shoot shoot these guys. And make them learn the lyrics while they're at it. I know, Metallica's music level has decreased these past years, but this is just awful. Like laughing at how bad they've become...

[18Lunarockstar]

??????

dnt kno where u gettin at

[TheEzekiel1111]

as a lifelong cover and bsf fan...I've got to say this is my absolute favorite

[mandaSxEx]

bsf for life

[Jesinator911]

kinda sucked...wait let me rephrase that...it REALLY sucked

[Zexnoise]

let me re-rephrase it...you suck!

[Yuki2990]

i won´t leave it like that, because that cover sucks. original > cover. now start whining :D

[teddyAllah]

It should be required to say "cover" in the title.

[seriousGEO]

Really....every single cover video on youtube should have their comments disabled .....i'm seriously fed up with every prick saying the same thing like "they raped this song", "this is shit... original>cover"...god!!! it's a fucking form of respect for the authors who made the song... to show their appreciation and admiration... just leave it at that... plus it's not such a bad cover either....if it weren't for the solos it would have been real nice.Anyway.... Rookie kicks ass :)

[xStamos]

@seriousGEO This cover is terrible. It's a way for no name bands to try to make a name. Try, being the key word here.

[Winnydogg]

@xStamos No name band? hahah i feel sorry for you...

[MrIdlehands]

@xStamos you sir, are a fuckstick....go back to your radio little girl

[minorkaos]

@seriousGEO

spot the fuck on....They do not understand how musicians work... But there all knowing and know all... I like to better call them faggets or fucksticks...

[lisads9]

@seriousGEO agreed.



[TheBenHardcore]

I'd imagine that Boysetsfire are/were fans of the song and may even like Metallica, hence the reason that they decided to do a cover. It's MY opinion that Metallica are mediocre, not necessarily Boysetsfire's. Speeding up the time signature on a song about suicide, hmmmm.....maybe he wanted to die quickly!!!!

Hehe, chill out fellas, don't get so uptight about someone's opinions!

[terribleone794]

you just have a shitty opinion.

[TheBenHardcore]

Such an inspired response....did you think that up all on your own? I'm impressed.....I mean, to be honest I'm suprised that you can string a coherent sentence together.....such wit, hahaha!!!

Spot on mate, keep 'em coming!!

[terribleone794]

i aint your fuckin mate and i dont gotta prove nothin to you. ac/dc and metallica are boss. anything but 'mediocre'. your opinion is worthless. i like boysetsfire, but ac/dc and metallica are LEGENDARY next to this band. a six year old with cancer in the ears could tell you that. and i'd bet boysetsfire would too.

[TheBenHardcore]

Well done.....you managed to prove me wrong. I'd credited you with a modicum of intelligence when I said that I was suprised that you could string a coherent sentence together but writing things like "i aint your fuckin mate and i dont gotta prove nothin to you" makes you sound like a dumbass redneck!!! Complete lack of grammer and use of Americanisms such as "aint" and "dont gotta"...shame on you!!!! I've got to say, you're REALLY entertaining and I quite like you, you seem like lots of fun!

[Visioncliff]

Dude, please have your country take America over again. Start a petition or something to that effect; I'm tired of getting dirty looks in other countries because of douchebags like 'terribleone794'. And quite frankly, he referenced AC/DC and Metallica as being legendary, which gives more credence to your claim of him being a 'dumbass redneck', as you so eloquently put it, well. . . removes all doubt. I wish people didn't define themselves by countries of birth; it lumps me in with these morons.

[TheBenHardcore]

@Visioncliff

Hahaha, spot on mate.  To be honest, I've got nothing against America, there are dickheads like 'Terribleone794' here in England as well, I just enjoy winding them up.....let's face it, it's not hard to do!!

[Visioncliff]

Indeed; not hard to do one bit. And since when did America claim Ac/Dc as their own? Last I checked, they were Australian/Scottish. And you really can't have a vendetta against a country, because in itself, a country is inert and is only driven by those in charge and those who inhabit it. And I believe you and I both realize America is quite full of dickheads.

That being said, lets watch as the 'patriotic citizens' gang up on me and call me a terrorist sympathizer.

[naraic1020]

this needs to know his lyrics, fucktard

[TheBenHardcore]

Haha, spot on man, love your reply. It's simply my opinion that Metallica (and ACDC) are mediocre. Let's face it, Metallica are not a metal band anymore. I don't know a lot about Metallica as I don't listen to them.....I like good music. Take it easy man, looking forward to your response.

[SliderBlackrose]

Interestingly enough, if they're so mediocre why is it that this shitty little band whom no one has heard of is covering their song (and badly. Why the hell would you speed up the time signature on a song about suicide?) This version sounds like someone has played a folk record at 45rpm, badly.

[TheBenHardcore]

Everyone who has flamed this tune is basically wrong!! Boysetsfire are easily the best band I ever saw live (and I saw them quite a few times) and this song wipes the floor with Metallica, who are at best mediocre!

[number3answer]

U really are a true and utter idioit. not only is this shit the band is wank and if metallica are so mediocre why have they sold about 3500000 X more records than this band????? btw if u knew anythng about metallica u wud new they aloing with ACDC throw the best live shows. twat

[AWOL216]

no comment

[aljenyc]

dude this shit is gay no good solos at all

[woohookittys]

They need to learn to solo. Listen to some Van Halen and try again.

[lloyd539jr]

dude this is an insult to music, tbh im not the biggest metallica fan i mean i dont mind em but im hardly crazy but anyone can see that theyve just butchered this

[dntxJ1GG3ls]

the band is the biggest shitmountain ive ever seen

[Tsukiyomiii]

This is crap.

[Beatudown2666]

LEARN THE LYRICS YOU FUCKS

[kwanzawerewolf]

those are some great soloing skills boy sets fire has :P

[bigfishtwins]

this ok but metallica fuck'n rocks to much for them

[slivy1991]

way to ruin a good song.. metallica would strangle u if they heard this trash.. at least get the lyrics right... can change myself cause its too late?? nope ... can save myself cause its to late

[brokendreamsblvd]

this was meant to be a tribute to metallica... so stfu...

[HUGHtotheBERT]

Ok...I like this band...but I like Metallica a lot more... and Boy Sets Fire ruined this song.

[CSmania1991]

YEaaaaah.... Great Band, why not rate 5 ? FU false fans =O

[HostofSorrow]

mixed up the whole song and the acoustic is like to fast enjoy :[

[Aldodizzle]

Why is bass doing the gallops after the powerchords in the middle? thats just weird.

[swordinthemoon]

/watch?v=1FUHo0cVUEY&feature=c hannel_page

this is a link to onw of my boysetsfire vids! (its not so good, cause its one of my first vids)

it would be awesome, if you could write a comment, if you liked it. THX alot =)

bsf 4 ever!

[woMw]

oh please keep up to metallica ;D

[xxelchinkoxx]

this version just sounds silly

[mrtle5]

i have no problem as far as instruments go

but nathan's voice doesn't really fit i still like it anyway

[lustfordeath]

This is a terrible cover, the singer sings like a fucking nerd, not metal at all, this sucks.

[HypeRShadoW1212]

the coveris good is good but nothing is better than the original

[HypeRShadoW1212]

your right he did mix up the lyrics

[DirkDigglerLuv01]

Am I the only one who noticed he completely mixes up the lyrics at the end? Other than that its fine, they did it to suit their style.

[cky1066]

a cover is a song redone by a band using their unique style and changing it up. if nathan sang like hetfield or whatever drummer they had at the time did the exact thing as lars ulrich on the drums there would be no point in doing a cover or listening to this...i'd just listen to the actual song.

[Kirkhammett3500]

Sorry, He can sing it like James..., or play the solo like kirk...

[cky1066]

what are you babbling about?

[Malaziel]

This cover's vocals really let it down. The instrumentation I have no issues with. The vocals just lack the power of the original (yes I know what inspired the song). The singer doesn't really convey the sense of eloquent desperation and hopelessness. I like this band and I think in a few years they could revisit this song but the singer really needs to think about his impetus when singing it.

[mikemoans]

damn this is fuckin sick, great cover of an amazing song.

[pauliefromgoodfellas]

its a tribute a cover end of! in the same way metallica couldn't do a bsf song justice but they could give their own take im sure...

[MIraster]

they over did the drums (Drums should never over power guitar) but other than that great cover!

[cky1066]

i dont think you could be more wrong about anything. unless you said lars ulrich was a good drummer, cause he's not that great at all...

[MIraster]

i hate lars... but he's okay

[Kirkhammett3500]

Who r u ?????, he doesn't love u too, I hate u!

[mrtle5]

i agree lars is a little prickball

[Metallicake]

This is fucking great!

[Foehnfisch92]

i really like boysetsfire...but why do they try to cover metallica (prowd owner of 12 albums).

Sorry, but you can't really compare these 2 versions... every BSF fan says: they're way better, and every metallica fans, that this version sucks...so: hear what you like, i stick with metallica :)

[klarvis]

ever heard metallica cover nirvana? its fucking terrible.....so touche

[Foehnfisch92]

yea i know, but no band ist like another. you can't cover a band and think everyone's gonna like it, so judge for yourself, which version is better!

[m1lky]

Any idea what cd this is from?

[nodgemkbu]

It's from the 7inch split they did with Shai Hulud (who covered Damage Inc)

[phicusko]

better like metalica :)

[standUpAndFightBack]

No, what r you saying?! Boysetsfire performes much better!!!

[gurkenkauf]

yeah metallica is much better!

[FEARofSLAYER]

!..!(-.-)!..! yeah right this song is awesome but metallica´s performing is better

[mrtle5]

no shit it's metallica's song

[bsarulesx1]

this sucks they shouldnt copy metallica

[TourmentedxSoul]

Well maybe Metalicca shouldn't be a bunch of sell outs.

[RebSaksagiak]

fuck off metallica rules asswipe

[RebSaksagiak]

yea man they really suck!!

[Metallicake]

Would you call this copying? How many other band COVER a song? Probably even your favourate band has coverd a song

[klaatuuns]

Instrumental, eh? :>
