Imperial March by Metallica (Star Wars)

[IlCanzonatore]

EPIC FAKE

[zip0v]

As said before, the original theme is so good you can fap to it. This... Cumbersome and fat. Ehhh

[TheDeev]

Please give Trans Siberian Orchestra their credit for this excellent work.

[neza1138]

El Emperador no esta complacido, la tierra sentirá toda la furia de la Estrella de la Muerte por esta afrenta al Imperio

[dacasey24]

its good but WHERE IS METALLICA THIS IS NOT THEM

[COOLNick1397]

@dacasey24 your right the guitar is to different to be metallica

[zykomonkey]

where is the real metallica version. i know i heard one many many years ago. this is garbage and it's all over the place. it's not even a good arrangement and terrible instrumentation, an insult to metal, metallica, john williams and darth vader. whatever lame, thin-sounding, swedish metal band concocted this crap needs to go to the outer rim and stay there.

[TheRhinehart86]

@zykomonkey I was just thinking that, I can swear I've heard it too but can only find this midi piece of crap

[novatroop]

These aren't the Metallica Members we're looking for, Move along. Move along.

[scramyou]

Why do so many people think EVERY "metal" version of the Imperial March is done by Craptallica??? Just why???

[shtirliz1917]

@scramyou craptallica? get a life.

[monkeybath1]

This isn't the Metallica we're looking for, move along

[visduke]

Sounds way to final fantasy, with some electric guitars, if Metallica remade this song I wound crap my pants, my pants are clean = not Metallica

[erikmetalanime]

Is one of the metallica first covers? doesn't it?

[ASTAROTH13666]

i never was a fan of Star Wars but listening to imperial march makes me feel like punching Chuck Norris in the face!..

[roughrambo1000000]

Wikipedia lies 

[roughrambo1000000]

Metallica did this song indeed.

[TeamXOnDX]

dream theater...

[puckcrack]

ok so if this is not metallica then who is it. lets be productive!

[metaldawg15]

@puckcrack I read somewhere its also a band that begins with metal. but I know for sure this is NOt metallica

[noediebroedie]

MetallicA NEVER did an Imperial March, go check Wikipedia

[spikedavid64]

@noediebroedie hahahaha wow ur really gonna trust that website hahahaha thats no way to back up a argument

[noediebroedie]

@spikedavid64 Good point xD

[Pestilence1971]

@MetalLuigi666, I can't believe that you still think this is Metallica. Does every metal song you hear make you think Metallica? This does no justice to Kirk's or Lars' skills, and while it's good, it's simply not themno matter what symphony you want to add to them. Also, I think that had they done a cover for this it would have made it to one of their albums.

[NakeRtHeRoCkEr]

Metallica's tunings were never so dark. This is not Metallica. :)

[Pestilence1971]

Ok, this is absolutely NOT Metallica, period. If you think it is then you know nothing about Metallica and the way they sound. According to wiki answers. com-

Metallica did not record the Imperial March.

The Dutch symphonic metal band Epica did a live cover of the song which is found on The Classical Conspiracy live album.

[ggdevle]

I can't believe some people out there profess this not to be Metallica without consulting the facts - am not even a fan and I know this is them. Please research before shouting yer mouths off ya bunch of creeps

[bumbumgerd]

Well, maybe this is really is metallica, couldn't it be that they did that while making the S&M album, where they work together with this symphony?

[BIGRED114INTHEHOUSE]

im pretty much a metallica expert when it comes to theyre music and i kno some of u might not believe me but yeah this is metallica

[raeven1212]

sounds like metallica with the symphony that they've done with in the past

[musicmama888]

The Epica version is much, much better

[apssoftware]

this IS Metallica. Its with the the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra circa 1999. Its was during the S&M recordings, however this song is not on the album. Its on the S&M video, however.

[apssoftware]

folks, please. This IS METALLICA. Its from the S&M recordings with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.

[woodgatejack]

@apssoftware And the San Francisco Symphony is actually just one guy with a synth.

[callmeconker]

you can use audio cables from speakers that have the same plug in like headphones. and then place one end to the mic and the other on the headphones jacks and record with garage band or what recording device you have. thats how i make ring tones. its pretty simple

[DARTHMOBIUS]

Part Three, What really confuses the issue is the phone ring tone length 31 seconds version which also has turned up on you tube and also misslabeled on Lime Wire, this version, depending on degredation variances bares audio resemblance and wave analysis to a segment from a complete version; though only 1 min in length by defunct christian death metal act Aeturnus lableled as ' DEATH MARCH ' feel free to you tube this.

[DARTHMOBIUS]

Part Two, a plethora of bootleg cds did the rounds featuring metallica studio jam sessions with the likes of Kerry King on guitar & Mustaine on second Vox ! One of these sessions allegedly produced the now infamous Metallica Imperial March, which is 1 min & 34 secs in length and only included as a " Bonus " In all comparative factors, tonal qualities of equipment used violently vary from the master taped sessions to the song in question bringing in to dought its " authenticity " and inclusion.

[DARTHMOBIUS]

Part One Let's settle this. This is NOT Metallica. This was misslabeled on the now defunct & deceased Lime Wire torrenting tool for far too long, it's TSO's rendition for budget sci fi anthems CD's by the also defunct & deceased Tring Label easily found in super markets in the 1990's for like $5,00. " Metallica's Version " was NEVER officially released nor actually Officially recorded, when Metallica had some master tapes stolen from a UK studio,

[mshobbs01]

Almost sounds like Trans Siberian Orchestra

[sethwazhere]

deendijsdihbasihbavsjbcxuadgvu­giysgyodicBACJXBAJ

[Ironsergio20]

Where the f is the E.S.P. kicking Ass sound... where the f. is the burning ass sound of Lars Ulrich's drums ? Obviously thats not METALLICA... and by the way, that synth is TOO CHEAP

[EvilOverlord96]

definitely not Metallica. Not so bad though

[retardwatch]

sounds a bit like Cradle of Filth

[nickgreeen]

That's clearly not Metallica dude - everybody who has ears knows that !

[HappOIDE]

I Knew this vid. was fake...but i saw james in the picture and... i have to see it¡¡¡

[jimmyshitbags]

if this really was metallica it would be common knowledge. it's still pretty awesome though.

[souless08]

Metallicrap sucks silent Bob's nut sack and are not worthy of playing the imperial march!!

[duckyfz1]

all you idiots claiming that this is metallica. dude, you are morons disguised as idiots!!!!!! please remove this video as metallica material

[sundaypro]

@mik.klk.dfd.d.dfd.dfd

[viciogames]

Aeturnus made this song

[BOUKEBANDSTRA]

@viciogames

this isnt aeturnus

[supermanky]

No Metallica here, just a 10-year-old with a synthesizer.

[RyouuichiKun15]

@supermanky

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUCCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

[5kokoko]

sounds more rammstein...

[DuffusAndDuffy]

this aint mettalica my dad worked with metallica

[xXCaptnPeteXx]

I bet the band that actually did this is getting real pissed that every one that posts this on YouTube is saying that Metallica did this. It's too good to be Metallica ( who is really over rated...)

[salamandra3333]

I'm more like youtube.com / watch? v = LP5o8egzhA than yours

[Godfather2279]

This soft song shall be the next Force Jedi

[Sundayyyborn]

nice

[DragonOfAmerica]

Metal is awesome regardless where it comes from, as long it has some hardcore songs on them I could care less...

[TheOneAndOnlynUcH]

ima big fan of metallica. and this aint them O.O

[teamEdwardrulez01]

I don't know it's a little slow. I love Metallica, but this is a little slow. Even though Metallica does a lot of slow songs, they're usually faster than this. But either way it's an 'OKAY' in my book.

[TheChorjunge]

too slow

[lindiensaoul]

this is an amateur recording. obviously it is not metallica . it' s just a dude in is basement with a guitar , a line-six and a cheap keyboard .

[bendtx]

this is NOT metallica

[MrCaliforniaScum]

James

Lars

Mustaine

Cliff

\m/ Fuck The New Line up :( \m/

[s7r1k30u7]

@MrCaliforniaScum This was actually the original lineup, do a little research...After they fired Ron, they hired Cliff and didn't get Kirk up until the last months before their first album

It was like that for a little over a year

[XxMaskedKanexX]

This is not Metallica tuning

[onshrooms420]

@XxMaskedKanexX

Metallica has played in standard, Eb (in later recordings), and drop D (at least one song per album, excluding the first two albums)

[XxMaskedKanexX]

@onshrooms420 They has played in Eb only on The load and reload album

[MaggaraMarine]

@onshrooms420 No. They didn't play in drop D, they played in D standard. The Thing that Should Not Be, Sad But True, Crash Course in Brain Surgery... They're all in D standard. Watch some Metallica lesson videos and you'll see.

[Bobofet241]

This is a remarkable piece of music.

[crazyc133]

To all the people out there that say this isn't metallica. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Im­perial_March

This is was covered by metallica during their s&m tour. I saw it live.

[KuBi4K]

@crazyc133

This is not Metallica.

Maybe one day they covered it on tour, I dunno, but THIS cover doesn't "sound" Metallica.

Too heavy, too dark and too "cheap"

[darklordfeanor]

@KuBi4K yes thats cheap thats why it is considered as metallica work.

[staseneubijes]

@KuBi4K not as cheap as your mother.

[Proletarian1917]

@KuBi4K You're right. I believe Metallica did cover it at one point, but this version here definitely ain't Metallica.

[gamerdude929]

@KuBi4K to not hevy and awesome so no not mettalica

[undertakerfriend]

lord vader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[toxinsimbiote21]

u hav no proof this is metalica cud b anyone playin the guitar

[darkenLife88]

this is metallium i think

[bubi8894]

lol there are like 3 videos of this shit on youtube, and none of them is made by metallica, like somebody said in some other comments "if metallicas guitars would sound like this they would jump in a river and drown themselves.." this is just some crap made with a keyboard, for f***s sake.

[ivanma360]

orale o.0

[jkkingsx]

At first i thought these guys would be some stupid classy guys like the beetles or something but i herd this song....ROCK ON METALLICA !!!!!!!

[tortaman87]

@jkkingsx u thot a band named METALLICA would be like the beetles?

[bobafettucini]

@jkkingsx yeah "stupid classy guys like the beetles" if you are referring the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music, then you can at least spell it correctly it's : BEATLES. And you are right, Metallica is definitely not in the same league as the Beatles..not even close.

[kkimberling]

@bobafettucini Yes, because being commercial sucessful is a great indicator of being a good band :P By that logic, the jonas brothers are an excelent band.

[rieba85]

@kkimberling lol so not being in the commercial streams means the band isnt good? thats the biggest bullshit i ever heard..

[kkimberling]

@rieba85 Epic fail is epic. I was using sarcasm -_-

[OMGitsnano]

@kkimberling Sir, make us all a favor and jump from a bridge.

[AaronSilkwood]

@jkkingsx i want to hurt you, sir.

[edgstrght6]

this is weak

[ThomsonCory]

Sigh. U suck. Stop posting this casio keybord wannabe crap.

[jutsko2007]

Good song, certainly not Metallica though as already mentioned. Think it has a distinct hint of Tuomas Holopainen (Nightwish Keyboardist) about it, and they are responsible for a number of covers in their time...

[rocanella]

@jutsko2007 it sounds like the same tone on the keyboard as a couple star wars video games. notably rouge squadron.

to say that it sounds like nightwish keyboard player is asinine.

[MetalOcalypse90]

Awesome song, but still... This isn't Metallica, doesn't sound at all like them. Many metal cover songs are entitled as Metallica songs or for example Children Of Bodom songs, but still the bands never did them. This song is good example. If you don't know what I'm talking aobut, go see Children Of Bodom-Final Countdown and Children Of Bodom-Silver Fang. The band never did those covers.

[ILguit]

Sounds like Rage, but it isn't. And it is not Metallica. But who is it, damn?

[zach8793]

@ILguit it actually is metallica. a friend of mine has a video of them making it on his ipod

[ILguit]

It's interesting. I'd like to watch this video if it's possible

[DARTHMOBIUS]

Sci Fi Mystery Orchestra aranged this version, according to my sound tech mate who works for Geffen records, cd's out of print aparently, largely misslabled but a big exchange on lime wire as such, Metallica alegedly rendered a version during the S&M demo sessions but no official version has been released, raising questions if it was recorded at all hope that helps,

[CAFTMODE74]

A friend of mine told me they did...but this it doesn't sound like Metalica...

[roffy101010]

@CAFTMODE74 it is. when they were live with the london symphony orchestra

[fuckcomments]

@CAFTMODE74 this was played by metallica with the symphony orchestra for their S&M cd.

[lindiensaoul]

@fuckcomments ....there is no orchestra, it's a keyboard...a cheap one !

[Kikki118]

@CAFTMODE74 by the sound of this song this could only be dimmu borgir or metallica.

Why? it's more orchestra than band LOL.

[retardwatch]

@Kikki118 haha i know right, it doesn't even sound like a real orchestra, sounds like a cheapass synth

[slayerfanslayer]

Konawa Lake Monster video!!!! Amazing footage!!!!

[sonicfreak12]

Metallica NEVER did the imperial march. There have been remixes that sound like it, and youtube lies that state its metallica, but it isnt. Although I do think metallica should cover this song. They would do a better job than anyone on youtube.

[assphinktersaiswhat]

@sonicfreak12 metallica SAID they did the imperial march thing many many years ago, they said it themself, weather this is it or not is another story

[DARTHMOBIUS]

it was whilst recording S&M they havent released it officially, blame Lime Wire for this miss lable, see my other post.

[jasonv8]

WHF???? This aint it!!!

i've got the real one on my phone!! Do yourself a favour and take this off it aint metallica!

[Christiaanleib]

niceeeeeeeeeeeee

[linkrulessonicsux]

. .

_

kewl

[IcewolfTVC]

lol fag =(

[jaybobcat]

no way, i heard metallica cover this live, and they do it all on metalstruments!

[Blashyrkh22]

Symphonic instruments can be metal instruments, ever heard of Summoning?

[InsaneMcAwesome]

amazing band

[franciscobon7]

oh John williams, hay gente que sabe llevar tumusica al Rock...yeaaaaaaaaaaa...!

[acidviper13]

hey this is like a Requiem for Cliff.

:[ it actually made me sad after i thought about it. Gone is he to that big Metal Castle in the sky. :'[

[KafelObrotowy]

awesome ;] that's my opinion, got dark soul

[666SICmetalHEAD666]

ACTUALLY megadeth and metallica are oth gods btw. oh and dave got kicked out cause metallica couldnt handle how hard he partied. they both kick ass so fuck all those who disrespect metallica or megadeth

[toothpickvideos]

well said my dear friend! I respect that for real!

[gardenofskeetn]

damn i was expecting this to kick ass. oh well

[thesilencenator]

fake

this cant be metallica

[Ueichen]

defenitely doesn't sound like any of hetfield's or hammett's guitars, as for the drumming.. i don't think it's lars.. so yeah, it's not metallica.

[domanater1]

just because you dont think it sounds like any of their instruments, that doesnt mean it isnt metallica because you said so.

[Ueichen]

Ok, i forgot to say it's my oppinion.

But seriously, that doesn't sound like James' or Kirk'sEMG 81 pickups.

[val1ent]

It's NOT!

I can send you the MIDI file it's originally made from.

[Guitarist2700]

@ domanater1

If you actually listened to Metallica then you would know, this sure as hell aint them. If Metallica did a cover of this, it would be way more darker and heavier, this is too light and small sounding to be metallica

[MrStaccio91]

great!

[spinelet]

Anyone who knows anything about MetallicA knows about S&M. Now this didnt come from that show but they did a few other shows with a couple of other orchestras and this song came from one of those shows

[therealjackspade]

this is a fake. misconception really. but lets look at the parellels in star wars and metallica. mustaine was the greatest jedi and then turned to the dark side and became a the sith by forming megadeth.HAHAHAHAHAHA.

[Xxrobert734xX]

mustaine was a fag thats why then kicked him out. megadeth has never and will never ever be as good as metallica. he is way to much of a attention hog

[BlackPanteraSociety]

Actually, listen to Headcrusher and the rest of the upcoming "Endgame"

Much Better than ANYTHING Metallica has released from 1986

[therealjackspade]

its a matter of opinion. just because you dont like mustaine and think he sucks, that doesnt mean you speak for all metalheads. some like metallica, some like megadeth, and some like both. so fuck off, that comment was unecessary. fag.

[kickassrobb]

@therealjackspade I like both :D

[s7r1k30u7]

Technically, if you say you hate Mustaine, it means you hate Metallica, because before he ran off to make Megadeth, he was the lead guitarist in Metallica, who co-wrote alot of songs in Kill em All and Ride the Lightning, so STFU if don't like Mustaine, and Im not saying Im a fan of Megadeth

And besides, if it isn't for Megadeth, there wouldn't have been the Big Four Live Concert tonight

[Metalgooze]

@s7r1k30u7 It would have been the Big Three ;)

[spikedavid64]

@s7r1k30u7 shut up dude really? mustaine only bearly helped on ride the lightning and just dont push it dude cuz people like u who keep the argument going are just dumb..move on with life

[picassopainter2]

@therealjackspade Metallica is fucking amazing....

[CEnforce]

@therealjackspade There has never been a reason for the fans to take sides in the feud between Mustaine and Metallica. You like one, you like the other, you like both, you like neither, it doesn't matter. It's a matter of opinion! What isn't a matter of opinion, however, is the FACT that this recording is not Metallica. At all.

[luigisbrother100]

No, he got kicked out cuz he was a bit of an asshole.

[kukeaften]

haha this isnt metallica for fucks sake. this one has been around since the napster days. its an awesome version though.

[hangar502]

this is not Metallica noobs

[brivanas]

You're the noob. This is metallica.

[hangar502]

If you say that I doubt you've heard any real Metallica songs, noob. Metallica has nothing to be with this.

[AMRadioHits]

Noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob noob.

There, I settled the rest of the argument.

[pepe2493]

i hate "noob" and this is metallica

[MaverickXIII]

when listening to this, i picture vader walking through fire looking a like a badass, with total destruction behind him with everyone dead, thats brutal

[Kiritok]

It's metallica, it's just that this version is one where they do it with in conjunction with an orchestra.

[Goathh]

There's no way this is a metallica cover. Every other instrumental cover they've done has had some crazy solo in the middle, and I'm pretty sure they would have cut all the f***ing strings and horns.

[Mike4evermetal2]

It's not Metallica just hear the crappy distortion...

[polko1983]

its metallica stupid noobs xD

[lustfordeath]

This sounds fucking nothing like Metallica.

[clavex]

That's NOT by Metallica, you stupid fag...

[RanzarDrift]

IT'S BY metalliga, you stupid fag...

[clavex]

No, you dumb fuck, it's not. You guys just downloaded it from some shitty program like emule or something by just tipping "Metallica" (Of course you wrote it wrong) in the search and found this.

No one actually knows, who did this song. If you're so fucking sure, send me the sources, the evidence, whatever, just show me, who made this song.

Oh yeah, kiddo... before writing > THINKING!

[tehultimateshreddar]

thuis guy is right, it's done on some cheesy kid keyboard aswell, listen to those samples, awful.

[humanice2]

I have another song by metallica by this name, and I don't want it near metallica because it sounds nothing like metallica and I'm dissapointed I don't know who made the song.. really want to do a research and find who made the song. btw found it when media player was illegally making you download free music from the web, back in 2003

[Jkmaitre08]

1 nr

nr 1

[V19torrent]

i didnt even know they made something like this

[burlearth]

they didn't.
