Blackened Intro Backwards (Volume adjusted)

[furbycommando94]

the forwards version should play after dyers eve

[matt2eadgbe]

Now i want to hear the rest of the song... what an awesome build

[JJTheGuitarDoctor]

maybe and idea for a new song lol

[MrGuitarforyou]

They should have used this like the whole thing...that would be cool

[RoxxorForEver]

The backward is really good but the normal is better for starting an album

[farcry2345]

@RoxxorForEver yes but backward could be for ending an album

[matt2eadgbe]

@RoxxorForEver they should end the song with the backwards version

[JIMMYmetalhead]

0:36 \m/

[MauriUkkonen]

and now, i wanna hear blackned over and over again

|m|

[MauriUkkonen]

OMFG this is like the sound of heaven.

[trannyniggr]

@MauriUkkonen south..of heaven..

[slipknotfan9999]

I had a cat once...

[justCHiLLdawg]

@slipknotfan9999 ONCE

[Motsenbopper]

I honestly cannot decide which one I like more. They're both good! And by good, I mean GREAT of course.

[booyakasol]

orginally it was backwards then they changed it

[chapel976]

wow... I kinda prefer the unreversed one... a lot

[ikookoon]

i saw 2 justin bieber fanatics

[blondbrothers]

That is FUCKING HOT

[Ae0lian29]

where i should find this ?>

[Subliminallll]

This is fucking amazing, either backwards or original it sounds just...ahh amazing. Why is no one composing songs and melodies like this anymore? Fuck sake. And just for the record for all the people arguing about Metallica's catalogue of albums, I promise, in 20 years time, we'll listen back to all of it and just think ''Fuck, Metallica were easily one of the best and always were'' Even now St. Anger is getting better on every listen, I just take it for what it is and not what I expect.

[blondbrothers]

@Subliminallll Well said!

[LuigiFanatic]

It sounds more apocalyptic forwards, but a bit more fitting for the song backwards. Like, the backwards version builds up more appropriately.

[GH3god100]

HOLY SHIT. I THINK I JUST CAME.

[Snypat]

This video represents the actual Big Bang where the Universe was created.

[redcoat74]

@Snypat - Dude, you rock. LOL. You deserve some sort of award for this statement ...

[Tuck10ful]

MAAAAAAAAAAANNNN THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[edgenail85]

This is epic!!!!

[ZDKdesign]

se escucha el solo doble invertido pero el sonido de fondo no esta invertido por eso suena con mas claridad al inverso.

[elmarcos94]

@ZDKdesign a mi me suena invertido tambien laparte de atras :(

[SoraSarcasm]

i heard that metallica put the intro reversed into the song on purpose.

So if you listen the intro in reverse you'll hear the original recording of the intro.

for me it sounds much more "clean" in reverse cause it's the original recording.

[vatnec]

That can be a song and i can buy it!

[Imanification95]

The ultimate intro: Forwards version then faded into backwards version directly into song. Preset you itunes blackened song to right after the intro. Play this and in your itunes wait for it to end then play the itunes blackened = fucking amazing

[RatRaceTV]

So fun to play on the keyboard (:

[MrDoggerDog]

Wow, how strange to hear this played backwards.

[oldGnRrocks1]

@MrDoggerDog actually, the recording on the strudio, this i how they actually played it, and then they did it backwards for the studio version

[MrDoggerDog]

@oldGnRrocks1 - I know. What I meant to say was "how strange to hear it NOT in reverse." Spoken another way - how strange it is to hear it the way it was played before they reversed it.

[rolfeijg2]

God I love Metallica's AJFA days <3

[oxXTravisXxo]

yeah this would sound great at the end of blackened, for an interlude for and justice for all

[Shiggityleveler]

they should use the original for a new song

[METTAALLIICA]

i like the reversed one better because the start has the meow like parts at the start just are epic but i think the original one should have been put at the end that is a awesome idea

[iliketoscreamLOUD]

the only clever thing they ever did

[redcoat74]

@iliketoscreamLOUD - Wow. That moronic comment only serves to illustrate the depths of your ignorance. The only clever thing Metallica ever did? ... Foolish. Misguided. Ridiculous. Not to mention flat-out erronenous ... Go listen to some more Killswitch Engage, who owe their very existence to Metallica ... Laughable.

[iliketoscreamLOUD]

@redcoat74 you are backing up a band that created ST ANGER. get butt hurt again.

I listen to everything, so please don't stereotype me with popular metalcore bands.

[redcoat74]

Okay, Firstly, I grew up listening to Metalllica when they were innovating. I was talking about Metallica up UNTIL this point: Kill. Lightning. Puppets. Justice. You think THIS was the first creative thing they ever did? Now I know you're nothing more than a kid with his head way up his ... And I don't know what "metalcore" is or what "butt-hurt" is; but the connotation of that latter term makes me sincerely wonder about you and your latent tendencies.

[iliketoscreamLOUD]

@redcoat74 Guys lets be honest... Metallica is not the greatest metal band anymore. They were up until the black album but now there is so much more better shit happening in the metal world. I LOVE almost every old metallica song (other than the drums) But yeah, this is clever, everything else they have done isn't really that clever. Go listen to Between the Buried and Me... EVERYTHING THING THEY TOUCH IS PURE GOLD.

[olapessoal100]

@iliketoscreamLOUD Stfu lil kid

[nicolhaidi]

@iliketoscreamLOUD

So what? I like most of Metallica albums, including ST ANGER. If you don't like it, well, that doesn't mean the band sucks. lol.

[TheSonomaDude]

@iliketoscreamLOUD ...was rewinding an intro? Sure. Metallica atleast had the balls to try something different, which is something I cant say for Slayer or Megadeth. Load and ReLoad my not be perfect (and sure as fuck St Anger isnt...) but they did more than most bands did.

[hunterhearsthelmsy]

@iliketoscreamLOUD so good things happening in metal????????, yeah more like today's metal is going no where, seriously today's metal aint even comparable with 80s or even 90s, plz dont tell me i am talking about mainstream bands,i try to listen all i can.., and i liked st anger, not the best thing they did, but sure had some good songs.

[TheUnrealworld]

oho o_O

[AJCerealz85]

tabs??

[BAMFINDUSTRIES]

This is how the intro is played. Then it is reversed... At concerts they have a recording of it play then the band starts playing.

[pivetlord13]

i think it was originaly recorded backwards and they turned it around on the original. it sounds way too good backwards.../

[AJCerealz85]

i still like this better

[666alikat]

holy fick i never knew it was a backmask

[blondbrothers]

Eargasm..

[chiefxtrc]

I like it so much better backwards

[MoonchildMindaugas2]

@chiefxtrc I like both ways :D

[Ae0lian29]

@chiefxtrc its because you listened toooo many times the original XD same here :P

[Immolateswe]

There is simply nothing better than the genius of Metallica. James has got to be one of the most important figures in metal through our time.

[TheDjozer]

once, i fucked a goat

[fsffsa5325324]

@TheDjozer You should tell your son that if he ever asks where babies come from.

[JustWannaFeelGood]

@TheDjozer did you jam your cock right down its throat?

[TheDjozer]

@JustWannaFeelGood

no, dummy

he down mine

[Spence233]

@TheDjozer Well thats just a tad gay don't you think?

[ZosoMegan]

Pure sex. I love the intro.

[whitenotch]

thank you for posting this.

[rickitickidicki]

JUSTICE FOR ALL... the apex of the metallica I love. Kill em' all the raw metallica I love, Puppets, Lightining, Garage Days...All the Metallica you need. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

[polydrafter]

@rickitickidicki Exactly.

[KBielinis]

Well, it's... badass

[ArtQuakedoom95x4]

blackened should start like the standard blackened that we know and then after dyers eve, the original version is played.

[mario1136]

@ArtQuakedoom95x4 That'd be a good idea. The reversed intro as the very first thing you hear on the album and the original as the very last. Sounds like a cool idea.

[MetalReign999]

i think both are fucking awesome



[methtallica]

My bands into music :) <3

[SuperDon1214]

is this real? if it is i think they should have left it like this

[jw5y66]

You don't need any drugs to get high,

Just listen to Metallica!

[mortemdrummer]

check out my drum track cover for this song

[CoryWong707]

the normal version should still be in the beginning but the backwards version should be at the end

[fuzzydice134]

OMG is metalicca realy that awseome that there music sounds FREACKEN EPIC both ways?!

[a7xmetallica1991]

Ear sex .. nuff said

[FrigidChill47]

Both are awesome.

[otvarfly]

I just can't stop listening to both versions...FN AWESOMENESS

[IAmCjcj11]

@nikyhammet ok so they are both metal, there are over 50 sub genres of metal, but yet it's still metal. -.-

[HECKproductions]

i find both versions awesome they should have put the back wards... um.. forewards... whatever the first on here at the end of the song as a fade out that would have been great

[sergioISB]

0:33 jump 0:39

[GOMETAL357]

Actually this is the real thing they put the intro backwards on the tape

[ICcreepers]

@GOMETAL357 -.- everybody knows it

[ICcreepers]

The problem is that if this would have been on the album and we would have heard the one on thr album 25 years later we would all have thought that its better :D So they are both epic :)

[XDrUmErBoY512X]

they wrote it frontwords and reversed, you fucking idiots. its like Slayers Hell Awaits. its not that 'creative'

[zabrak999]

@XDrUmErBoY512X who said anything about it being creative? it just sounds cool. like lennon's vocals in Rain

[infinitsadness2]

@zabrak999 you're right!!

[adampplaysguitar]

they both rock. I like the original more, but the backwards is just so cool and mysterious. It's a metallica signature. nobody EVER PLAYS THAT INTRO!

[av3nger3]

@adampplaysguitar

It is backwards...enough said.

[ios4ever]

U gotta love these fucking mesa boogies...

[alejandrodiego]

Original is better!

[T1H0]

!cipe os sdnuos ti eveileb t'nac I

[ElTeaBill]

The thing with this is that if it was on the record the way it was originally recorded and then 20+ years later it came out "reversed" (the way we know it) everyone would be blown away by how awesome it is. Either way it's so damn epic and incredibly awesome. So heavily layered and sinister sounding, it is aurally impressive. Neither one is better than the other.

[XvKarnagevX]

I like the regular one better :/ the backwards sounds badass too :)

[fsffsa5325324]

Damn, you could make a song with only the backwards version playing the whole time.

[TeuZCoDMetal]

i think this intro is the best of all the album metallica have ever done!!

[MrSFblack]

@TeuZCoDMetal i know right,i like their intro to blackened almost more than i like their intro to battery.

[TeuZCoDMetal]

@MrSFblack yeah , you're right.. i did'nt think about it.. it's as great as this! :Q_

[cw5394]

the way they did it(reversed) is better. they knew what they were doing lol

[DieselDemon18]

the reversed intro (well technically forward) should be a new song intro

[Kradgger]

this sounds like a nice intro for an album, i see what they did now

[DanPeatGuitar]

/watch?v=KOKGWWC7AU0 This is my cover of this both forward and reverse!!! :D

[LeatherBootz]

and if they kept the original intro you all would say it sounds better backwards because you just aren't used to it

[marcussilvamgs]

The normal version should be the end of the song.

[dmcknight29]

I agree thats sweet as fuck

[CheesyRhino]

@marcussilvamgs What if they remix it like Megadeths albums and add this

[laaaaambofgod]

@marcussilvamgs @rodrigopolodotcom for the love of god make a mix with this at the end of blackened

[AndyB1286]

The weird thing is that the backwards version doesn't even sound like it's backwards! I think both versions are awesome.

[JakeBeoulve]

Well they both sound awesome.

[Lukelr]

Backwards is a ton better. I love it.

@PhilosophyOne Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm going to dislike this now,even tho i like metallica just to piss all you fuckheads off :)

[zainnnzy]

are there tabs for this?

[MelodethGuitar]

@zainnnzy You can easily figure this out by ear. You just have to LISTEN.

[Elintasokas]

@MelodethGuitar Perhaps he just started playing recently. Could you easily figure stuff out by ear when you had just started playing? :D:D

[MelodethGuitar]

@Elintasokas Uhm no... :D But it's still not that difficult... .,.

[MelodethGuitar]

@Elintasokas .,.

[Adennos]

It's like the lost intro of the intro of Blackened haha :D Awesome

[revengerbad2]

best intro evur!



[mortemdrummer]

it's like the lost and justice piece

[MrDR7no]

ow thats motherfucking epic..

[78Revolutions]

WOW. I knew this was backwards, but never really considered reversing it. Today, I thought of it...and it was already here on youtube. Both versions are incredible, and both would have worked great as the intro. This was the peak of metallica in my book. This...is when Metallica = Life

[mauler5693]

i love em both

[Butthead3600]

They should have kept it like this on the album

[metallicavlad]

@Butthead3600 very true

[maoribrotha53]

@Butthead3600 you make it sound like they had it like this and then decided to play it backwards for recording.

[melihsahcan]

jason's idea

[FlareStorm10]

@melihsahcan no, it was Kirk, they had it in the ending of Master of Puppets too..

[TranceSFX]

@FlareStorm10 Nope. Jason. Read up and shit on stuff, etc.

[FlareStorm10]

@TranceSFX Are you dumb? It was Kirk. Jason wasn't around in Master of Puppets. (Period)

[ibanezzer1]

@FlareStorm10 It's not in the end of Puppets. Jason wrote it for "And Justice for All" and the band decided to turn it around backwards. They treated Jason like the red-headed stepchild. They even admit to treating him poorly as a band member. Go back and listen to "Puppets" and tell us all where it's at on the album.

[TranceSFX]

@FlareStorm10 Are you stupid? It was on Justice for All when Jason was around and when it was his idea. You know, the time when he (and not Kirk) suggested it? A clue: purchase one.

[TranceSFX]

@FlareStorm10 I just thought I'd reiterate how stupid of a motherfucker you are. Carry on.

[tutu1987]

arguing over the internet is like...

[ibanezzer1]

A: All I did was say what I think, just like everyone else. So if you're insulted, by comment, then I'm insulted by yours. Agree to disagree.

B: I'm not hogging the comments, just responding to comments. If people are offended, fuck em. It's a free country. If you disagree, don't listen to Annihilator and keep listening to A7X (gay ass nicknames also help identify BS bands.)

C: Call me ignorant if you like. Pop metal IS a genre. Real metal is a different genre. I like mine, you like yours.

[Hotdog40404040404]

@ibanezzer1 holy shit, the troll's still here

[ibanezzer1]

@Hotdog40404040404 I just respond homeslice. If you don't like my opinion, not my problem.

[SuperWeedPower]

GOD I NEED A FUCKIN GUITAR MAN!!!

AND A BASS TO!!

[SrDeMaFp]

Wow, this sounds 10x better backwards!

[joelwelch2000]

Where are the tabs to the original? If anyone can help reply please.

[CraigBarduk]

What a beautiful melody. I can't stop listening to this, nor can I decide which version I enjoy more.

It's just so good.

[StringzOfFury]

people should stop being ignorant and hating on other music genres... its annoying and if you're a musician you will never develop a unique style if you listen to only "real metal"

[Aremine]

this is one of the best intros ever...i havent heard many that were better imo. and im not saying this as a metal fan but i also mean this for all kind of music, classical, rock, hiphop etc. its beautiful

[AndyB1286]

hey, thanks for putting this up. With the adjusted volume this is the best upload of the reversed Blackened into that I've seen on here. Probably why you've made it to 300 likes without getting a single dislike ;-) Was a good idea for the band to reverse the intro imo, there are no drums or excessive percussion in it so the guitars don't sound blatantly reversed.

[nikyhammett]

the backwards version is better :D

[metallicavlad]

@nikyhammett hell yeah!

[alejandrodiego]

@nikyhammett nah!

[wdowa94]

@nikyhammett Backward version ( official Blackened) is too weird for me, orginal (reversed Blackened) is more epic for me

[Dethklok11629]

Dude this was supposed to be the original way it started but the changed it to the original that we all love



[yoshi8869]

I'm an A7X fan and I like Metallica. So... where does that put me? I believe both are metal. True, Metallica is classic (classic as in original) metal, but A7X is still metal. Well, I'm gonna like this video and I'm gonna like an A7X video too. I've already favorited this, and I've favorited A7X videos, too. Can't all metal bands unite and work together to take down the real threat to music: Justin Bieber...

[FakeMito]

@yoshi8869 a7x is not metal :D

[nikyhammett]

@FakeMito it's metalcore

[FakeMito]

@nikyhammett its gay

[nikyhammett]

@FakeMito -.-''

[Teraforce88]

The forward version should have been the outro to either Blackened or Dyer's Eve.

[AliasXBeoulve]

Someone should play the forward version as the intro to a completely new song. ^_^

[awesomemgy]

I'm not sure if I like backwards better or fowards

[Psaras19]

The first one is more likely played than the original lol

[GenHorizon]

this is the way they first recorded it. the blackened intro on the album is the one thats actually backwards, they just like the sound better i guess so they put it like that on the album

[tomcornhole]

@GenHorizon wow. that's a mind trip right there

[headbanging4ever]

Dude this rocks backwards i like it better. ha lol

Metallica rules.

[thelegendoflink52]

Anyone think it would have been cool if they'd done both at the beginning?
