Fight Fire With Fire (Hetfield Cover)

[metalist4e5]

You're cool! ^_^

[TheRaven0us]

Man this song is a heavy fucker, pretty difficult to play, too damn fast!

[TheJoshRed]

without a doubt the the fastest metallica to play.... a B++

[cursedswordsman]

Why anyone would thumb up Mrgaadkja's comment, I will never know.

[THKCxStudios]

I have that same amp!

[sinkorswim88]

A little too much gain. It doesn't sound good at all. Dial it down a little, and it wouldn't really be bad at all

[Pluhy999]

Average guys are fighting fire with water, Metallica can successfully defeat fire with fire...

[Mrgaadkja]

LOL Figth fire whit water LOL

[TheRaven0us]

@Mrgaadkja Lmao!

[LGilson22]

Hetfield downpicked the entire Master of Puppets song, nothing else.

[mn6132836]

hetfield can downpick this in his sleep

[MarcoSequeira1988]

@mn6132836 when he is dreaming

[mn6132836]

@MarcoSequeira1988 haha yeah right. nice cover btw

[Leviskardsen]

I think some people are taking Hetfield's downpicking philosophy a little too seriously. Obviously you can't downpick all of this, and even if you could, it wouldn't sound right.

And no, Hetfield doesn't downpick this. Honestly, some people...

[Thrash3rSkateRock]

Is that a robot les paul?

[MarcoSequeira1988]

@Thrash3rSkateRock NO this is an ltd ec 500

[Thrash3rSkateRock]

@MarcoSequeira1988 Its sweet

[haltrman93]

If I'm seeing this correctly, the main riff is just all palm muted E's with G, F#, and then E power chords thrown in at intervals?

[DunfermlineParkour]

@haltrman93 Palm muted E's, then G power chord, then F#, then F

[MarcoSequeira1988]

@ben10sk8r this is an ltd ec500



[RigorMortis203]

@ben10sk8r READ THE FUCKING HEADSTOCK! Damn

[IBleedThe5th]

@ben10sk8r Dude that looks NOTHING like a Schecter

[iloveursis]

this song wasnt downpicked, alternate.

[astonwhite]

what is the tabs at 0:31 to 0:34, its diffrent from 0:34 to 0:41, on place i can find it plz respond to me (:

[MarcoSequeira1988]

@astonwhite it´s the same there is no diference

[LiLteddy999]

A Hetfield Cover... Wouldent That Include Singing?

[Bajsokorv]

I'm still waiting for the singing... ):

[edddiux]

nice guitar

[metallicacoverer]

imagine this song unplugged

[thepie567]

@metallicacoverer rofl

[gringo258]

where´s the singing? xD

[Emceetem]

Noob... If you don't spider it your a noob,

Just kidding.

XD

[1sonicguy]

play the song without the music covering up your mistakes

[wilx714]

lol hahahaha yeaah sure it was recorded all with downstrokess... btw james can throw Kamehamehas I saw him when I was taking my fire-two-heads dog for a walk.

[day2daygrindin]

@die9go4 i was talking about Master Of Puppets, Fight Fire With Fire is alternate picked 16 notes i think almost positive.

[day2daygrindin]

When this song was wrote it was all downpicked, in today's time with James and Kirk alot older, yes they may have been alternate picking some of it. EET FUK \m/

[die9go4]

@day2daygrindin

i dont think that this song was all downpicked

cause its too fast

[TDBmusic1]

@die9go4

Do not question the mighty downpicking powers of Hetfield.

[UAiiTaLeNTz]

@die9go4 no shit...

[rudoman22]

ALL downpicked???

[Fiszu24]

@day2daygrindin James is almost all downpicking...

ps. nice cover ;d

[day2daygrindin]

The whole song Master Of Puppets is downpicked

[Brawl4Metal]

@day2daygrindin

no its not. I saw them play and kirk came right over to us and played the solo and was down and up picking.

[LonyTheKing]

@day2daygrindin Cuz Its A Solo You Moron...

[B0RN0FOSIRIS]

how the hell does james get those two e notes in between those power chords. its unbelievable

[Brutuzthegtamaster]

Keep picking fast then just push away for a fraction of a second once you hit the power chord, its not that hard once you get the hang of it.

[blackmeatdude]

@B0RN0FOSIRIS dont stop strumming just lift ur fingers really quick after the chords

[heavymilitia]

nossa cara... como vc faz pra palhetar desse jeito?

[MarcoSequeira1988]

Treinar treinar treinar esse é o truque

[simontristan]

Check out Jamie Amir for this Solo

[sindiewen]

i need to try and learn this song. gonna be fucking epic

[assphinktersaiswhat]

the heavy intro is easy on the fingers...but the strumming is a fucking bitch!! fully warmed up *like i am now* i just finnished playin it and it hurt =[

[sindiewen]

Yeah, Ive got it down prety good. Just need to get my fast strumming more efficient and not hit any other strings when i strum.

[psychaospath]

Lol nice axe dude , and very nice cover. I hope to soon be able to play this :D

[ruiaqf]

finalmente um tuga a fazer covers xD

[zurzolo13]

is that a gibsen lez paul 1970

[nikoESP]

man, its a LTD EC 400

[MarcoSequeira1988]

It´s an LTD ec 500

[nikoESP]

well, i was a little bit closer than the other guy :)

[MarcoSequeira1988]

A lot closer heheheh

[metallicacoverer]

@MarcoSequeira1988 imagine if this ong had never been invented the world would suck

[ItsMrMatfin]

hahahahahahhahahahha

[Thrash3rSkateRock]

your guitar made me cum a little

[Shit2223]

If his movements werent so precisely coodinated witht he song i wouldnt believe hes playing becuase its so clean cept the after solo breakdown sounds a little sketchy

[no10max]

!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome cover !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rudolfswow]

nice ;) 5 stars

[riejuroks]

hetfield could!!

[portuguesehulkamania]

can't you tell the diference between downpicks and alternate picking gallops? Master of Puppets is downpicks on the intro, this is gallops

[riejuroks]

james hetfield in the early days downpicked entirely this song!!

[GuitarSnakeBite]

There is no way anyone can downpick the fast riff

[mikem376]

Yeah no shit man.

He's saying how godly He is!

MetallicA!!

[MetallicaMash]

@GuitarSnakeBite Hetfield can :L

[mac13ane]

@GuitarSnakeBite Hetfield can.

[mikem376]

Actually his picking improved so he could do it perfectly today!!!

Death Magnetic owns!

[costa5497]

damn downpicked? O.o

[MarioandLuigiSS]

Its clear he isn't downpicking....

[RandomP3rson]

hahahahhaha you fucking retard as if this is downpicked

[jaguarlord1994]

no he did not. he never downpicked on the fast riff idiot. just watch some live videos or anything really, he did NOT downpick this riff. it's impossible

[adtv2]

dude downpicking is almost impossible! its like...zomg

[thejokercries]

no, he didn't, as many people have said before, no one can downpick this fast.

[MagneticJustice]

Yeah!

Very nice cover(watch out my Kirk Cover)!

He never just downpicked this Song, that's impossible.

The hardest Downpicks are Blackened, Disposable Heroes, battery and Damage Inc.

[BabyPleaseDontCry]

Not to brag, but blackened isn't that hard to downpick

[DadelMao]

i totally agree

[mikem376]

How long have you been playing?

[BabyPleaseDontCry]

I think a bit less than a year, you ?

[mikem376]

Really?

You have been playing a bit less than a year and you say it's not hard to downpick blackened?

I think youre lying.

[BabyPleaseDontCry]

How long have you been playing ?

[mikem376]

2 and a half years approaching 3

[BabyPleaseDontCry]

Nice

[mikem376]

Do some videos.

[waltknowm]

i fkn love the rythem guitar 4 this song

[xurxo12]

awesome dude... btw, any advice of how could i imrpove my right hand strength and speed?? i mean, i can't play this song for more than a minute, my stamina is shit...

[MarcoSequeira1988]

train a lot musics that are fast, like battery, master, etc

[TacticalSkum]

heaps good cover dude.. your strength in both hands looks great... I take it your hands dont cramp much?

[TacticalSkum]

lol at helfield downpicking the whole thing...

[eddyultra12345]

James downpicked this whole thing!!!!!!!!! deal with it. Metallica is the best band ever. JAMES IS THE BEST GUITARIST EVER \m/ FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE \m/

[MarcoSequeira1988]

That is imposible

[DeathIsWaiting01]

maybe in guitar hero he did, but its impossible to all down pick this song

[wartime15]

MOP is the fastest you can pretty much go down picking the whole thing!

[Fartacus46]

WHAT! that impossible

[BernardoBAlexandre]

it's true, hetfield downpickedthe whole song during the 80's era now i don't know if he downpick it or not. He have the greatest right hand ever...

[PhoenixGuitars1015]

There is no way anyone in the world can down-pick on the main riff. Its tremolo picking you fucking dumb shits....who agrees with me? Cause if you dont, then you are a failure at life

[falx94]

Agreed. It's absolutely not possible to downstroke the main riff, nobody can strum one way that fast.

[alv095]

well I think maybe its possible if u practice it a fucking lot

[alv095]

sorry for the last comment its imposible to do it downstroke

[beyourselftdk]

OOOHHH MEU DEUS oO' excelente rapaz,  vejo me aflito para fazer o main riff, porra:S mas tu, jesus xD grande cover! abraço

[MarcoSequeira1988]

Yeah Obrigadao meu

[Dabomb782]

yeah, true. Still, NOBODY can downpick that fast. I still agree with you on the "gods" thing :P

[longhorns6610]

thank you. i dont see how people think that james let alone any human could/used to down pick this song. its literally impossible

[metalliNERD]

well, as you may know, james is known as "the worlds fastest downpick" xD but playing this thing all downpick? thats inhuman...

[AAbLeeDINgFIngErsAA]

I found it out and worked it out it was the electricity. When there are more things on it buzzes more ...

[HPG45]

Rofl...downpicked...

What is that? An EC-400 Deluxe?

[MarcoSequeira1988]

LTD ec 500 by ESP

[Kornzozo]

This song i downpicked?

[MarcoSequeira1988]

HEHHHE no, it´s impossible play this song just downpicking

[DIMEburtonRHOADS]

that is one of the most retarted statements i have ever heard. to you have a set of ears? how could you down pick this song lol thats impossible

[Monkey111092]

James used to be able to when he first did the song. Now he cant though

[DIMEburtonRHOADS]

are u on drugs thats impossible lol why dont u go play guitar hero

[Monkey111092]

USED TO. This was back when Metallica first started, when he played with Dave Mustaine. It seems impossible, but for someone in their prime, it was possible.

[Dabomb782]

WHAAT!!? sorry, the song's, what, around 200 BPM? not even the fastest dowpicker in the world can downpick that fast. Just because James was young doesn't mean he was superman :/

[ThisOneGoes211]

Uh... when this song was recorded Mustaine wasn't even in the band.

[longhorns6610]

no he didnt! down picking this song is IMPOSSIBLE!!

[SDJH2982]

Oh come on, with a song like this you HAVE to headbang while playing it >_>

[MarioandLuigiSS]

Yeah i have to head bang once the distorted part comes in :) Love playing this song and headbanging :D

It's pretty hard not to with this awesome song.

[eddie7314]

Nice job dude! I have the same guitar!

[rkdodz]

oh y dont know how to do the pre chorus

plz someone teach me !

[northamerikan]

tb tou a aprender!! tou a tentar disturbed-stricken

bem fdd

[AAbLeeDINgFIngErsAA]

Pls help me tell me why my amp buzzes when i don't play :( it suxx and in the pauses of songs it buzzes like hell

[heretic4lyfe]

it is your pickups, get a better pair of pickups and a better chord.

[porkchopfatshack]

Did you try turning the volume of the pickups down?

[HPG45]

Volume too loud when you're too close when the volume of your pickups is at max? Too much gain perhaps? Fiddle with the knobs- learning the sound is all a matter of trial and error with your amp.

[Churros007]

Yeah it happens especially if you have active pickups.

Either turn down the volume during puses or if not, replace the cord.

[AAbLeeDINgFIngErsAA]

It was freom the amplifier i dont know why. Now i am with a Black Hearth amplifier and a processor and ity doesn't buzz

[MetallicaFran]

Portugal!!!! ve os meus covers dos metallica!

[rethob]

[MarcoSequeira1988]

[rethob]

Boa ideia é que é ja a seguir ROCK ON BRO

[GermanMeTaLGuardian]

[vismbr]

Wow great cover, and that picking is insane!

may i ask what string gauge and pick you use ?

[MarcoSequeira1988]

My strings are d addario .10 - .46 and my pick is a tortex 60 mm

[oompaloompaman5]

Try 12-522 strings, they fucking rule!

[Freebird51993]

to awesome cover i agree you double picking is pretty much perfect

[Musicmancometh5150]

Awesome playing! Your double picking is insane!

[MarcoSequeira1988]

Thank you. Nobody said that before. Thank you. I trained a lot. Rock on

[ssnak3v]

Mtu bem executado!

Atinava ver t tocar algo de Lamb Of God.

Fica a dica... Continua com o bom trabalho \m/_

[MarcoSequeira1988]

Não sou grande fan dessa banda. mas se axar alguma musica deles que me interesse talvez um dia

[gkoerselman]

You using the MD-2 again? if so, what settings do you use?

For Metallica single note quick riffs I usually use my MT-2 as I can keep it quite clear/defined while still having attack/distortion type notes (mid-scooped 50% at 11 o'clock).

[MarcoSequeira1988]

I just use the md-2. i don´t have any other pedal.

Distortion and tone are all up. bottom and boos are all down the level is to 1 hour

[SpawnCall]

I have the same guitar, fucking good

[MarcoSequeira1988]

It´s a great guitar for metal. very good on distortion

[SpawnCall]

absolutely

[Tubyboulin]

Hey man how do you like the Eclipse? I was thinking about getting One, either the 500 or the 1000 if my budget alows. i kinda want a les paul shaped one for rythm playing.

[peehweeh]

Nice! Rock on, 5*

[MarcoSequeira1988]

thanks

[thanos21thanos]

fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!

[MarcoSequeira1988]

HEHEHHE

[scbene]

oh yeah! great job dude! a classic tallica tune! 5 stars my friend :)

[MarcoSequeira1988]

Thank you my friend, lets rock on
