Metallica - Mercyful Fate (Full Cover)

[vlad97toro]

And I tought I was doing it better than anyone else until I saw this video, you´re amazing fella, wanna be in my band? ok I think you won´t because I live in Mexico. I wanna be you. Good cover. And please answer me, where did you learn the song?

[TheMathMog93]

@vlad97toro Thanks alot dude, might have been if you lived in Denmark.

I learned much of the song from tabs found on ultimate-guitar . com. The rest of it i learned by ear, cause some parts diden't fit with the original sound :D

[XiiMpo]

this songs definitely one of my favorites, right next to sad but true and the memory remains

[Legometallica09]

Nice, I just learned Ride the Lightning...

[Chargeglass]

I watch this video about once a week lol, seen it at'least 30times.

[jesus123guzman]

is ameisin



[bispower6]

Excellent !!!

[EX0michAel]

dude u have to try enjoying the song while playing , ! do some headbang ! btw the cover kicks ass

[TheMathMog93]

@EX0michAel Im trying more now, as i made this over an year ago. But trust me, its harder when you got a camera pointing right at ya, filming every single move you make.

On top of that i have to play it as cleanly as possible.

When making a song as long as this, its harder than it seems :D

But thanks anyway ;)

[EX0michAel]

@EX0michAel ah i see. , but still man , when its about MetallicA songs u should enjoy 'em to the max ! :) keep it up

[tibak11]

4:43 love it

[MLGxxV0lCoM]

loved every second of it

[MLGxxV0lCoM]

but great job man :)

[MLGxxV0lCoM]

i can do this good on guitar hero

[Alexpepper35]

...the hell. All I'm gonna say. Covers everything else up. You know i looked on the tabs today and tried learning just a bit of it for the first time...but it's gonna take a long time for me to learn all of that...

And by the way...since you're really happy about the band being pretty much danish does that mean you are as well?

[mikeygheetarz]

WASHBURN ffor the effing win. Much props to covering this man, a few misses here but we're all human. Still great.

[TheMathMog93]

@mikeygheetarz Thanks alot man, means alot. Im considering to redo it, to remove as many mistakes as possible. :D

[mikeygheetarz]

@TheMathMog93 ill be subbed if that happens :D

[Kid574]

@TheMathMog93

You really should !

Your cover is awesome as it is, can't imaginate how it would be without some mistakes :D

Looking forward for a repost !

[DarkloLich09]

wow you rock man, awesome cover of a long song :D

XD look at the shadow behind you... it looks like you have a 2 neck guitar XD

[ozanghost]

The sound of your equipment fits perfectly to this song, congrats :) however, your technique needs to be improved, make practice and you'll be fine :)

[towar85]

great



[mactavishc]

I'll be honest, a few bum notes, but brilliant for your age. Well done.

[TheMathMog93]

@mactavishc Yea i know, and they annoy me like hell! I diden't notice it as i played. So when i checked what had been recorded, i dident feel like playing the same song for another 11 minutes :D

But thanks alot anyway! :D

[intherageoflove]

That was smashing! you get the sound perfectly, I've been listening to your playing just hipnotized. And you just figured out the solos and used only distortion? this cover is close to perfection.

[TheMathMog93]

@intherageoflove Thanks alot mate. Yea, as you said, i just learned the solo's, but i used a amp prefix that i got on my external soundcard.

Although i wouldn't say its close to perfection. At the moment i believe that i could do a much better job. But that is offcourse from my eyes i see it :D

[ArmandoDevil]

what tuning was that you used?

congratulations very cool

[fabaopalmeiras1]

vc conhce muito parabens,,,,,,,,,,,

[mrmetalfan97]

what tune you use on this video

[TheMathMog93]

@mrmetalfan97 The tuning i use in this one is Eb Standart, or tune Half a note down.

[shadowguitarist87]

nice playing man i would love to know what pickups you use the sound brill 100 thumbsup for ya :D

[zyndapp800]

fantastic cover! Best on youtube!

[Muvinski]

Nice skills but you're too tense. relax a bit kid.

[SlinkyDrake73]

Good stuff man!

[XTwittyX]

0:24 - "where the hell is my brownie?! it was on the desk 5 minutes ago"

[doubledongdylan2]

@XTwittyX what?

[TheMathMog93]

@doubledongdylan2 He's refers to my look that goes to the sight and looks like im thinking "Where the hell is my brownie?" :D

[cristianfender]

good sound man, congratulations!!!, and what fx use in this song?. Greetings

[TheMathMog93]

@cristianfender Thanks a lot man!

Generally i diden't use any other effekt than distortion. But in a couble of the solo's i use the Wah-pedal! :D

[slaytalix]

i bought a guitar to punish my Ma. (pink floyd) very cool. do you use guitar 5 pro tabs ?

[MusicalCoDGuy]

I love that poster.

[Raulbrown]

Nice poster

[fod93awwyeah]

Best cover I've seen anyone do on youtube, one of my favourite songs, seriously awesome man! Any chance of getting the tabs? :P or did you just get them online?

[TheMathMog93]

@fod93awwyeah Thanks a lot :D

You can go to "ultimate-guitar . com and then search for the song. I used those to get a good idea of how the song was ment to be played, but when it diden't watch with the actual song, i would listen, and then figure out a more accurate way to play it. And almost all solo's are learn'd by ear :D

[XBlueRaid3rX]

I think the reason there are not very many covers of this song is because no one wants to take the time to learn a 11 minute song!!.

[TheMathMog93]

@XBlueRaid3rX Even though is doesn't take much longer that many other songs to learn. It is really simple in how it is build. The only thing you gotta do is learn the "Main" riffs. Still a handfull though :D

[XBlueRaid3rX]

@TheMathMog93 True. I just think it would just take awhile to learn all of Kirk's filler solos in this song.

[TheMathMog93]

@XBlueRaid3rX A bit. But when you have played guitar for a while, kirks solo's are REALLY predictable... Just saying... Pentatonic scale and Minor scale. Thats pretty much it, running up and down, in a minor number of patterns :D

[wolfparkour]

To favorites ------->

[slownlo]

You have a good ear and fingering....stop thinking about it and just play...you don;t look like you are enjoying yourself (though I am sure you are) just remember, music is about the BODY and SOUL...just let loose and let your fingers fly...don;t worrry about messing up....just rip!!! NICE JOB!!!

[elcojot]

Yeaahh good cover! :)

[morronguin100]

OMG! 're great great song playing all Mercyful Fate of evil includes hit the lights I think

[and3rs00]

Elsker når danskere kan spille psycho spade for det der er helt sindsygt!!!

[UltimatedKevin]

[XclusiveXbox]

[JoshuaBLilley98]

[facestabber51]

Well fucking done.  Flat out impressive

[UndercoverTraeger]

Nice Cover! I've got the POD UX2, could you give me your settings? It will be great! special thanks :P

rock on!

[TheMathMog93]

@UndercoverTraeger Thanks a lot dude! But im sorry, i don't have that specific setting anymore... I lost it when my computer broke down...

[UndercoverTraeger]

@TheMathMog93 great -.- :D it sounds very good, really. Could you remember the settings? Or try to rebuild it?

[GuitaristMetallica]

jeg elsker denne her video xD ;)

[MrAlejo8000]

one of my favourite songs and the best cover i've ever seen of this song!

[CocoKylling]

Fucking sygt man!!! :O Hvor lang tid tog det dig at lære den her sang? :D

[TheMathMog93]

@CocoKylling Det er ved at være lang tid siden, men tror ca jeg lærte den på en dag eller 2. Så tog det selvfølgelig noget tid derefter at forbedre stykkerne ;=

lml

[CocoKylling]

@TheMathMog93 Okay, men du er jo MEGA syg!! :D Kepp doing the good work!!!

[FeliCianoTubeChannel]

Love it. What tuning is it in? :) Er du dansker?

[TheMathMog93]

@FeliCianoTubeChannel Yes, jeg er dansker ;)

Den er en halv tone nede fra standart. Altså D# Standart skulle jeg mene ;)

[Fabiuh23]

mistake at 07:28 OMGGGGG xD tricky slides gotta tell you. Awesome cover sounded just like the original

[TheMathMog93]

@Fabiuh23

Im sorry its not perfect, but all i have to say to my defence is.... I diden't wan't to start all over and play a whole 11.10 long song again!!!

Its a hell if you wan't it 100% accurate! :p

[Fabiuh23]

@TheMathMog93 i know how that feels. Sometimes when I'm covering something and get a mistake close to the end, specially on big songs I rage xD

[121Aquaman]

Dude, your fucking bad-ass!!!!

[Buddycash96]

This one takes the cake.

[Morphinium]

Cute Mini-piano on bookshelf =)

[jonathanfknbomb]

All I can say is YOU ARE GOOD!

[higyhagd]

It takes balls to cover this one my friend. great job

[skull2224]

Just in the first riff you do it with alternate picking or all down?

[TheMathMog93]

@skull2224 Im doing it with all down, that fells most right for me (:

[melly12123]

I'm having so much trouble with the blues scale at 4:02 :(:(

[F1ChallengeRH]

[Guepardex7]

[fuckitall780]

If ever the word EPIC was used, this is definatley the appropriat time. GREAT JOB BROTHER

[lumartinez17]

awesome dude!

[Whiterasco]

Can you help me about getting metallica tone?I have a MXR Fullbore Metal(it has volume,freq.,gain,low mid,mid,high mid efffects).My guitar is an ESP Ltd M-100FM and i have an ashton 10 watt amplifier(volume,gain,bass,mid­,treble).Please help me i am about to go insane :D



[TheMathMog93]

@Whiterasco Hmm, kindda hard to give you a exact hint on how to get it. In my videos i use presettings from a external Sound Card. But the best way on my normal amp to get a pretty good sound is by these settings: Gain = As much as the beast can run!

Low = Around 6

Mid = Also around 6

High = 7,5 - 8

And then play on the Bridge Pickup. Thats the settings i mostly play with.

Hope it helped ;)

[umid95]

song nice..poster behind is better..but still cover is done well!!

[nymphetamine1982]

Nice job mate

[LachieEllisboi]

lol i love the little head move at 9:20 get into it

[TheMojojojo32]

[melly12123]

Would it be awkward if i said i converted this to mp3 and listen to it.....frequently?

[TheMathMog93]

@melly12123 Actually it means a lot to me, to see thatt you love it!

Cheers mate! :D

[melly12123]

@TheMathMog93 Cheers! :)

[johansmithi]

[TheMathMog93]

@HockeyFan546 None have unliked it yet (:

[MrCauliflower]

is that guitar equal to washburn wm17, Or is there any difference on wm17 and wm17V

[RockstarUnloaded]

Awesome cover man. I have been playing for about a year and a half and I haven't done anything like that.

Do you take lessons or self taught?

Also I would like to request The Unforgiven III

[Hetfieldfan93]

I love your poster.

[dmielpo]

Great, man!

[MaricKici]

nice dude! how long are you playing the guitar?

[TheMathMog93]

@MaricKici Thanks mate! I have been playing for 2 years now (:

[aldiggy61601]

DUDE GREAT JOB...I LOVE IT..I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF METALLICA FOR ALOT OF YEARS..YOU DID A GEAT JOB..KID KEEP IT UP

[YamiCamus1]

i like your poster (: excelent cover

[LachieEllisboi]

Hay man great cover, i havent seen many as good as that, did you go to there concert?

[TheMathMog93]

@LachieEllisboi Thanks a lot (:

No, sadly enough i haven't been to any of their concerts. At the time they were in denmark, i was not a Metallica fan. I began to recognize their music when i began playing guitar (;

[JokeyGuitarman]

nice man. i tried to play the song to but i dont have a wah wah at the moment . But reaaaaaallllyyy nice.

[BlamSlam12]

That was the best thing since porn lol jk jk but that was good

[Leagman1]

the first riff was a bit sloppy, atleast in my opninion, but your timing is awesome!

i sometimes thought you had turned off the record because your guitar neatly covered the guitar in the song! :D

[hablacat]

WOOOW!i'm am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCKING JEALOUS!!hahaha,lol

mashalla keep it up!

[MegaPhilipM]

FUCKING INTENSE! the best cover i've seen of this song on youtube! EVER! :D

[TheMathMog93]

@MegaPhilipM Thanks a lot mate! Means a lot to me! :D

Just sad that it gets out of synch...

[Ladykiller0711]

@TheMathMog93 : I really enjoyed the shit out of watching you play man, great cover. King Diamond wrote some amazing songs.

[RockstarUnloaded]

@MegaPhilipM couldnt have said it better myself

[wecomeweleavewedie]

awesome dude freekin sweet

[bbuteo]

Wow, what a fantastic performance and a powerful sound. I love it.

[TheMathMog93]

@OttoVonWichita Swedish? Btw i come from Denmark ;)

[apakottur97]

Good job dude.. I dig that poster xD

[TheMathMog93]

@apakottur97 THanks a lot dude. Haha, i saw it, and i just had to buy it! :D

[Entersandman1001]

btw do you take requests? If so i would like to see That was Just Your Life-Metallica.

[TheMathMog93]

@Entersandman1001 Yea i would like to take requests ;) And i have also thought of doing a cover of that song soon. It will just be without the intro, because i can't mix clean and distortion without cutting in the video, and i like one that is straight forward! :D

[Entersandman1001]

@TheMathMog93 Well if you cant maybe upload the intro then upload the rest of the song?

Also, did you use footpedal for the distortion? If so what type? It sounds awesome

[TheMathMog93]

@Entersandman1001 Maybe i could yea, but we'll see how it gets ;)

And no i diden't use a footpedal, i get all the guitar sound from POD Farm through my Line 6 Pod UX1. :D

[bodyet]

@Entersandman1001 Maybe we could try to film it as a band.

By the way - I am in a band with him and a drummer.

[Entersandman1001]

This is great! Much, much better than me!

How long have you been playing?

[TheMathMog93]

@Entersandman1001 Thank you very much! :D I have been playing for almost 2 years now (:

[Entersandman1001]

@TheMathMog93 I have been playing for over 2 years and the hardest i can play is probably Enter Sandman or Frantic!

You are one talented guitarist!

[TheMathMog93]

@Entersandman1001 I really appreciate that ;)

But i have to admit, it wasn't a chill ride getting there, i use many hours a day just practicing stuff.

But keep on trying! Be patient and you will get there too (:

[Entersandman1001]

@TheMathMog93 I know. Its probably because i have only actually had a guitar for a year, but been taking lessons for 2 years. Thanks for the encouragment mate :)

You keep playing too, i bet youll soon be able to play TTFAF (Through the Fire And Flames) youre that good! Seriously!

[Xenokiller101]

Well....I officially give up trying to play guitar. Lol, nice job!

[TheMathMog93]

@Xenokiller101 Thanks mate! Just keep trying, its takes a lot of work! :D

[GetHalo350s]

Nice man do me a favor? change the look you look like hair color? lol cause you look like that person who doesn't talk to people in school, but yea NO OFFENSE :)

[TheMathMog93]

@GetHalo350s Haha, never heard that one before! ;D But sry to disappoint you then, but i am doing quite well. Thinks its all about what country, region and cliques you come from :D
