Blackened intro (reversed)

[milenathecab]

simplemente hermoso!!! *_*

[4demon9]

Imagine if they kept the reversed intro in Blackened and played the original at the end of Dyer's Eve.

[ch4rls96]

FUCK THIS WAS ORGASMIC!!! xD but wow the intro reversed sounds really really heavy!! I think I liked it even more!

[metalzombiebass]

wao sounds more epic than reversed O.o

[Mrdeathmetal100]

I CANT CHOOSE T_T

[thedescent666]

Wow, I never knew!

[wdowa94]

It's just easy trick, but for me it's more epic in orginal (Reversed Blackened) record

[oliviro5]

@wdowa94 it's meant to :P that's why they reversed it lol

[wiggs333]

they should have played the reversed part as an ending to this song...!

[nicxtrem21]

/watch?v=w3toJ1tMvtM

Blackened with the Reversed intro as Outro

METALLICA R00:00CK



[liljimi321]

@nicxtrem21 metallica doesnt rock, they make rock look like a pussy, they metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Masterofpuppets510]

reversed sounds better

[nicxtrem21]

im going to make a new version with the intro as the outro....just to see if it fit for real

[Dickieaa]

thats pretty damn spiffy if u ask me

[philroyclifton]

Holy crap, I've always wondered what that sounded like, thanks!

[nicxtrem21]

Peoples saw reversed, so they hit disliked and though this would reverse to like.

[thedoorsman24]

The reversed one should have ended the song.

[MetallicaBassist123]

@thedoorsman24 that would also sound good, but as an 'outro' it builds up too much energy, and then were waiting for something thrashy and fast but then its over? No my friend, blackened is perfect. Btw check out my cover!

[Cardgames4children]

neat. *takes picture*

[Archangel3583]

@Cardgames4children Bender!

[Jgar14]

the reversed one was the original intro for blackened. Just a little info ;)

[GasmaskGorbachev762]

@Jgar14 Derp.

[Butthead3600]

ITS SO EPIC REVERSED wait which one is the reversed one again

[nazaxprime]

0:03 I want to flag this video: Too addicting; Awesome

[nazaxprime]

Makes me want to play Simon's quest.

[Rafathekillers]

Instead of headbanging down, I was headbanging up :S Fucking insane.

[JhonVictor666]

the upwards version sounds better

[BigAlbinoDonky]

Sounds like Avenged Sevenfold. Metallica needs to quit stealing stuff.

[AgentDeath731]

@BigAlbinoDonky dude metallica came before A7X. this was recorded in 1988 when A7X barely hit the scene in 1999. so shut the fuck up

[nazaxprime]

@AgentDeath731 Don't encourage him. He knows that fact and is simply trolling Metallica vids...

[AgentDeath731]

@nazaxprime i know i shouldnt...just that im intolerent to stupidity XP

[nazaxprime]

@AgentDeath731 Yeah, same here... I'm weak... Soo weak...

[Turok676]

@BigAlbinoDonky haha it sounds to good to be a7x lmao

[SgtZaqq]

Mmm... don't get it

[frankieanime]

@SgtZaqq Well, they recorded this like it sounds in the last half, than flipped it backwards on the studio version which is how it sounds on the actual song. Basically the played the intro, reversed it, than stuck it on the song. No idea why though :\

[ShaneHeseltine]

@frankieanime they done it because they are metallica and they are masters at producing, it is a masterful creation to be honest...

[nazaxprime]

@frankieanime Why not?

[frankieanime]

@nazaxprime Yea, good point lmao. Being a musician, listening to a riff or song backwards can make things sound better, or spark new ideas for other songs lmao

[nazaxprime]

@frankieanime Exactly, thats standard procedure for me now that I have the technology. Stay awesome.

[Turok676]

okay as soon as the reversed part is over, click on the beginning for perpetual epicness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[lolsokje]

Don´t get me wrong, but what is special about the reversed version of this song. Excuse me if I sound dumb, but it´s the first time I heard the song.

[DudamaraProductions]

@lolsokje This is the intro to the And Justice For All album. (Blackened is the first track). The part you hear in the beginning is how it sounds in the actual song. However, 0:38 to 1:13 is what the original guitar sounds like. They took that sound and reversed it and used that as an intro for Blackened.

[gnsby696]

omg i never knew the original one. its just really dramatic!!!

[thextabrox]

that is a homage to cliff burton.. of metallica..with he dies....

[Heineken1712]

i really like the normal intro

[nicxtrem21]

It's as good the 2 sences wow

[phatman2003]

now its "whitened" :)

[eldenegado123456]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the original version in not tha first one? why did you put the orignial version on the second one! is this the original version??????????? qaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaa I m confused

[losermonster]

@eldenegado123456 haha, not sure what you're confused about. The first part is the song intro, the second part is how it was recorded but it was reversed for the album.

[cwrobinson1985]

Sounds fantastic.

[siegfriedeternal]

it sounds like wasting love from iron maiden.

[Th0masBivens]

hendrix and pink floyd, zeppelin, etc. were doing this backwards stuff as early as the 60's. ah, the beauty of analog. it is cool that metallica decided to use this old trick.

[indoninjaa]

im definitely digging the reversed more. but the original is so metallica, it makes a lot of sense how they got the final outcome now

[solen58]

you make the reversed one so it doesnt fade out then add the song in right after,

that would kick ass

[ALLYRNUBZ]

@solen58 My thoughts exactly, like i scrolled down to post exactly that but you already had.

These are the kind of things producers stumble on that help make an album what it is.

[solen58]

thats fuckin awesome

[Kapteininnlysende]

Hey, imagining making a mix of this song as usual, add a little bass (so you can actually hear it), and then add the intro in reverse at the end, just a thought, but I think it woulda been epic! :D

[JuanCarreras1]

Holy crap that was cool!

[greatestXhits]

this sounds sooo much better

[chudini23]

holy freakin' god ! for 22 years, i didn't know that !!! they're genius

[diazonia896]

WOOOOOW!! that really does sound amazing!

[burlingamevideos]

Denekcalb - Acillatem

[gurvirj95]

This is how to intro was supposed to be played. But it was supposed to fade in, idk why they made it backwards on the album released.

[Alexunder3D]

NO SHIT!!!

[TMetalFromHell]

they could putted that in the end of the music :)

[comeonewtf]

@TMetalFromHell Oh! THat would have been a great idea!

[kcajtmurphy]

why did they put it on the album backwards

[BloodyKing13]

@kcajtmurphy coz it sounded cool

[Henoxen]

they should have used the "Real one" as an outro that would be really cool

[beaverfeaver12]

they should play the backwards version..ugh or forwards version at the end of the song

[thrashmetalcraze]

i read that the intro itself is alredy bakwards and wut here is herd"bakwards is really forwards!!!!

[pyramidiot1]

how cool is that

[TheAntiVigilante]

um that was like the other way around

[glaxko2]

fucking epic either way

[ppacitheking]

Ez így kibaszottul üt, mint a buszkerék!

[Maidenhead1996]

Reversed is better.

[Irfan87]

If you ask me, both versions sound equally awesome, the REVERSED one thats used in the album has more soul to it and the UNREVERSED one feels more badass.

[GuitarPro7908]

its genius to be outro of some random song :D

[MegaYummyPie]

0:39- 1:13 sounds kind of like outro to AJFA

[stopglobalswarming]

I'd always thought that was what they did to record it, but I had not heard it played "forwards". Thanks.

[ISesseriI]

Man these intros, they just work man

[metalica914]

it would be perfect if they put the regular intro at the begining of the song n put it again reversed at the end

[MasterFeradon]

@metalica914 Good idea.

[metalica914]

@MasterFeradon thanks

[gmanhell94]

Sounds like the four horsemen backwards

[Visceralex]

EPIC!

[metalica914]

i think i like the reversed better than the origanal



[CollinExplosion]

@metalica914 me too I think this should've been the real thing instead

[tjdowney4]

5 people were headbanging to hard and hit the dislike button

[whiplash308]

@tjdowney4 Headbanging to no rhythm at all, I've done it once. Fucking badass.

[Seriphyn]

Ah, so that's how they did it.

[cheezeontoast4]

ffilc .P.I.R

[RapidCycling07]

call video

[TEO1994sniper]

The best is still the reversed one,the original,but if you haven't yet done it,take a listen to the both intros (forward and reversed) mixed togheter,it's actually the best.

[EbonfrothCovers]

for some reason, the reverse sounds better

[petesilvo]

@EbonfrothCovers lol honest feedback! :)

[Asta453]

to me it sounds the same but i'm no expert anyway...

[petesilvo]

@Asta453 lol honest feedback! :)

[ErikBassRock]

it's like the same thing

[blakeiscool69]

original is better

[AppleSauceInvasion]

It's cool how it sounds awesome both ways.

[azraelangelofred]

I love the intro to metallica, and it sounds just as awesome backwards. Thanks man, this is my favorite part of the song.

[gowfan2]

I like it backwards more.

[lolerz222]

Leave it to Metallica to think of something as badass as this.

[FINPutkonen]

Yeah when I forst discovered this... WHOAH!

[moko9hoko]

thats so fucking awesome

[InfernalKamikaze]

That's awesome!!!!!!!!!! I never knew it was reversed! It should be a whole separate song though. Such an amazing intro!

[EFDragon]

STILL fucking amazing.

Gotta love Metallica.

[DeckicSerbia]

reversed is more evil !!! 3:)

[Mohamed636]

Both are good. The original is more suspensful as it builds up from quiet to louder and the reversed one is more happy

[sleazyduck]

happy....hmm more triumphant than happy but i feel ya

[ofwolfandwhiplash]

This intro would be good as a separate track that ends the album.

[AndroxineVortex]

@ofwolfandwhiplash that is brilliant!!!!

[STNoli]

both intros are good but i really think that the reversed btw the single version is way better, just sounds so awesome

[majyskthehedgehog]

the reverse would be awesome to fade out with dont you think?

[theblackendone]

in my opinion the reversed version is better

[iamtheburninator]

Me too, but as an intro to Blackened, the reversed works better.

[travis5352]

jizzed

[9loco9loco9]

thank you, finally someone posted it!!! the world's been waiting for this.

[chuckgobbo]

Beautiful, amazing. *-*

[Nismodrive]

Spinetingling!!!

[KCNirvanaKC]

Blackened - pǝuǝʞɔɐlq

[kickmybowls]

@KCNirvanaKC how the fuck do you do that? can someone tell me?

[JuanCarreras1]

@kickmybowls Wapevad audio editor, pick a song and press the <-- button

[Gamer21gll]

@KCNirvanaKC whats the Font?

[MrRagingFury]

@KCNirvanaKC How?

[IloveVitoria2009]

this intro is freakin Amazing in both ways ... Backwards and Normal... MetallicA Rules Bae !!!

[Metallicathrashsam]

reversed is wat they actually played

[HeroOfTheFlames]

they should play the original one live, try something a bit a different

[megaladon73]

I was thinking the same thing - live, it would be cool if they ended the song with the un-reversed version, so the ending would basically be a mirror image of how it began...

[DrummerFromHell1]

.backwards words saying ,again go I There

[poobearpanda345]

i like the reversed version more

[maganashi]

!hcum os siht evol I gmO

[VAGABOND954]

LOOOOOOL that was awesome!!! :D :D hahaha

[maganashi]

The reversed one is so fucking melodic, it's almost a song in its own right.

[jojomoor]

we shall call it '' DENEKCALB ''!

[beaverfeaver12]

@jojomoor lol awesome

[iwasfredfredburger67]

@jojomoor LLA ROF ECITSUJ DNA...

[ndp888]

its color our world blackened O_O

dumb lady

[tortex088]

Sounds pretty nice. All the song has been reversed or just inro?

[Ruvigy]

lol I already knew it but never heard it

[Widetip]

this can´t be

¨lol ^^

[jake33789]

Oh, so that's why they never play the intro live

[oejc]

Blackend should be Al Gore's theme song

[LukeTheDuke539]

NO WAY! thats weird!

[DodoBrasileiro]

OMG, beautiful song, metallica rulez, perfect perfect, both versions is very very very very good, God, is to beautiful!

[1xcrosswordx1]

yeah i think he did

[ItsTimeIDisappear09]

Did Jason write this intro?

[Eugendrummer1]

No, he's only said that intro put on album backwards.

[ItsTimeIDisappear09]

What?

[mishomor2]

Both intros are Awesome...

i dont know which is better...

sorry for my bad english

[xElmerJFudd]

It's right :O

[SlaytanicSeries]

WTF Both kick ass!

But reversed is better lol.

Good ending for the song..

[jorgensen4life]

That is beautiful thats all i have to say

[ilansy]

JUST AS GOOD FUCK ITS SICK

[diffan666]

gose bumps!

[lederbandl]

Well, I´m not the world´s greatest Metallica Fan, but the Blackened Intro kicks ass no matter if you play it forward or backward^^

[megaladon73]

Cool - thanks for uploading!! I'd always wondered how that intro sounded originally before they reversed it... and it sounds just as great as I imagined it would =) good point hypershadow, the original sounds sadder to me too, partially because it slowly fades, while the reversed version builds in intensity...

[mTruck15]

oh :( i thought it was gonna be the fast riff that was reversed damn..oh well it sounds sick anyway

[Fatb0ybadb0y]

it DOES say intro in the title :P

[Ironlord2015]

Superb, never heard it like that before, but I do remember reading in a magazine or something just recently, that they did that...very cool to hear it, it sounds ace either way for me..but like someone said, they should've used it in it's original unreversed state at the end of the album as a little outro, that would've been cool. Thanks for this \m/ ( ' L ' ) \m/

[hypershadow015]

they both sound amazing. but think... the original one sounds more 'unhappy ending' or 'the end' while the reversed one sounds like someone is about to save the day, or some kind of heroic riff... thats just my input.

[katniss100]

cwoelliii! ^^

[Akira625]

Color our world denekcalb! DENEKCALB! :)

[Thrashlock]

rofl

!denekcalb dlrow ruo roloc

[bassjammer14]

REVERSED IS SICK

[jamesassya]

ha ha cool

[MetallicaRules805]

it sounds epic either way

[anathoros]

I didn't know, thanks

[ilikerocklol]

they should have put the last one at the end of the album

[gavindaysaccount]

Wasn't it Jason's idea to do the reversal thing for the intro rather than the outro?

[Cragrepent]

Reversed is better.

wtf

[Pwndlol]

yeah, the reversed into pwns

[BlokProof]

Epic as hell

[Elliottjay205]

it'd be sickk if they put the reverse one at the end of the song
