Metallica - Fade To Black VOCALS ONLY

[raz0rcarich99]

Ghost-Hetfield :D

[jeremylovesmusic1]

I have to say that this is my favorite song from Ride The Lighting...even though the whole album was an epic damn album.

[pvboys123]

in my opinion best metal voice everr!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cjakek]

You mean Johnathan davis sounds like James.

[CROGrof]

It sounds creepy ? right ? xD

[tatemalmsteen]

Wow!!!! I never realized how many vocal effects James uses!!!

[Gebrechlichkeit1]

@tatemalmsteen It's not so important...his voice is magnetic

[marios439]

@codemaster94 hahhhahhahahaha you 're right ahahah nice comment...

[valentinoviki]

who is the original singer of this song.. I mean in the studio version? It doesn't sound like James..

[juancho970]

@valentinoviki James Alan Hetfield

[Linkaara]

@valentinoviki The original singer of the song in the studio version is... James Hetfield

[metallicafanfjdk]

@Linkaara DERP.

[MDC01FLY]

@valentinoviki At 1st I was thinking what a stupid comment u made, but as I was about to comment how much I missed James voice from back in the day I realized that you're probably a younger person or new fan of the newer stuff 'first' ..I can see how you thought it was someone else-it was all greater then! So enjoy the Metallica you have yet to discover-Kill em All, Ride The Lightening (My 1st fav) Master of Puppets, ...and Justice for all (2nd fav)-You have a lot of work to do, now go!

[valentinoviki]

@MDC01FLY U r exactly right.. I am a new fan of metallica.. had been to the concert recently.. found so much difference with his vocals back then and now.. I know it is because of the age but there r a lot of vocalists like Bruce Dickinson, even after 30 yrs there hasn't been much difference..But I luv James vocals more now which is similar to post 90's era.. yeah, ve listened to all the songs u listed.. Luvin Metallica to the core.. Thanks for ur sensible comment..

[MDC01FLY]

@valentinoviki Its weird but cool how many people this band reaches. Personally Im not into any thing after the Black album-and the Black album being the least of my favorites of the others,,however Death Magnetic is the best thing Iv heard from them since the Black record. They like to experiment with music and I can dig it, but to me there's enough other bands out there to find something different-its like,I get it "U guys can do it all!" Ill always go see them live tho,and be satisfied!-Peace

[IsoToXic28]

which effects?

[colosalguitarist]

3:27 he sound like jonathan davis!

[TheNeoton]

@colosalguitarist

Yeah ;)

[colosalguitarist]

[Jonathan1224jc]

@codemaster94 hahaha for realz



[johnjerry1234]

[999N0t3str34k]

4:53 was sickkk!!

[666Bronchitis666]

This is very kool dude where did you get these audio tracks from?

[Kirkhammett3500]

5:20 ========> Best Motherfucking Riff Ever! ♥ ♥ ♥

[patrykasroma007]

@Kirkhammett3500 You're right maan!!!!

[undertakeredgar]

Ha piano in the background,

[RemusStelistu]

@undertakeredgar that's classical guitar,not piano

[undertakeredgar]

@RemusStelistu Sounds like a piano, i know what a classical guitar sounds like.

[teenmetalfreak3]

this is really cool. :D

[patrykasroma007]

@teenmetalfreak3 You're right maan!!

[CaveofTwoLovers]

hmm. at the start his vocals sound a lot like a guitar. I wonder how he does it?

Because it is impossible for the title of this video to be incorrect.

[Ras902]

this sounds godlike. epic

[carlitosmetallica]

James Hetfield is a great vocalist!!! AWESOME!!

[JLLproductions]

i love the echoes that lead up to the vocals.

[bucprime]

this is amazing

[TheBestGade]

This music got me into Drugs

[ridersoul]

@TheBestGade ok, do we care? hum... no.

[lovestospooge646]

<3

[XxZero97531xX]

looking at all the other songs from Ride the Lightning back, i would assume james wouldnt write this kind of song

[nicobal666]

@XxZero97531xX he did write it, that's because that song was made after their gear was stolen, including a guitar james's mother had given him some time before she died :'(

[XxZero97531xX]

@nicobal666 i know. but this song does not match the other songs. maybe something from puppets, but not RTL. still tho, im glad they wrote such an amazing song.

[MasterMetallica010]

i like how james can make the sound of an orchestra at the beggining

[simongeniac]

when something says "Vocals Only" you would think that's what it means.

[CeNNteR]

where did you get this vocals??????? please reply!!!!!!

METALLICA

[SlayerSp777]

@CeNNteR It's from Guitar Hero

[SlayerSp777]

@CeNNteR Guitar Hero Metallica.

[wuexxx]

yeaaah 5.20!!!!!!!! <3 <3

[TheArzola1996]

good baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy 

[lumberjack923]

awesome



[gdsmzroll]

his voice is overdubbed, their is the first track and the second track layering it.

[0rphaned]

I love the intro. Metallica is the best heavy metal band i've ever seen.

[kamucho]

haha, can u hear wat sounds like a Keyboard mimicking his Vocal line.

[MasterMetallica010]

cannot stand this hetfieeld!! 3:07

[elgersonfiguera]

yeahhhhhhhh!!

metallica rocks!!

now i can play.. this song with guitar (8)

:D

[0ivo0]

man this is so damn good!!

[Colbystrns]

wow, James sounds like a ghost... gives me the chills!!

[wolfshozzer]

@Colbystrns yeah i know, especially for this song

[papersoapstreet]

i could listen from 5.20 onwards for ever and ever and ever.

[hugopereira14]

@papersoapstreet Wow,I did not know so many people liked that part!I love it too !

[Irixion]

How'd you manage to get such a good RIP of the vocals?

[Evilrex500]

@Irixion Guitar hero.

[yokusa13]

I'm liking the subtle strings at the beggining

[bethshair]

@yokusa13 Yes! Thats why they were accused of selling out even as far back as 1984. They had a ballad with keyboards right at the top! They didn't give a fuck.

[zbig83]

I would pay 2 times more money for ANY cd that contains tracks recorded separately! That's fantastic!

[ThibodeauS7]

@Nicolasfxx fuck off 

[SicStoneknot]

His voice is so unreal, gives me fucking chills!

[RASTEEZY14]

i luv playing this while im drunk and high on my guitar and listening to this on full blast. makes me feel like james is next to me as i play, bone chillin

[unforgivenx8]

how you get this?

[Mazturofpuppetz]

lol 3:57 random chord =P

[BaWe59]

He has the ''EET FUK'' guitar on that picture! :D

[microkorgboy]

@BaWe59 What does that mean anyway?:P

[mbd303030]

@BaWe59 nope this is his old gibson explorer (pic is from 1984-1985) he didnt get the eet fuk (or any esps) until 87 i believe

[thedreamportal]

Alot of reverb

[TheMason011396]

the amazing part is that james had no vocal training :) absolutely amazing

[aassyr1111]

ics vortex of dimmu borgir is better

[thebogeymaniscoming]

@aassyr1111

Vortex is a piece of turd.

[TarbleSauce]

These vocals sound so sad.

James Hetfield - The master of guitar and vocals.

[XploshinUnicorn]

@TarbleSauce thats because the subject matter behind them is sad.

[TarbleSauce]

@XploshinUnicorn No shit.

[isemannen]

5:20 so wrong

[hpdude23]

kinda creepy but awesome haha

[fuckingmetalheadbang]

5:20 Fucking Great!

[0MusicAddictedGirl0]

What a beauty in his voice...such a pure, and intense voice.......chills....

[slantyrock]

the keyboard under the vocals at 3:00 sounds funny.

[Underpants44]

5:20 sends shivers down my spine...

that only happens to proper metallica followers

[screwster101]

Fuck! 0:52 and 3:25!

[TarbleSauce]

I have actually fell to sleep with these vocals playing. I was drunk one night and I just needed Hetfields vocals to basicly lulliby me to sleep. That night, I honestly slept ike a baby.

[screwster101]

I started listening to Metallica when I was seven years old right after I started having severe panic attacks which left me in a hospital for two weeks.. the black album had just come out yet it was the One video and song I fell in love with.. the first album I bought was Ride the Lightning at Target with my mom and I used to bump it like there was no tomorrow.. anyway, his voice was so soothing for me and relaxed me so much along with their music.. were always there for me and still always are.

[Underpants44]

@screwster101 me too my first 'tallica album was ride the lightning and the first song i ever heard was welcome home sanitarium

[AIphaDog]

@screwster101 word from a true metallica Fan.

[midnight347]

@screwster101 I first started listening to metallica when I was 8 years old when the black album came out...if I'd known about them I'd have listened to them sooner but I was freakin 8 for gods sake lol....not like I could be in LA moshin with fuckers in '83...iw as born that year. anyway i got my cousin to record a tape off his cd of the black album for me...then I traded him ac/dc highway to hell for ride the lightning...I still LOVE both bands and I've sense got highway to hell again...

[seattlehawkins]

@screwster101 WAH!!!!! Fag!!!!! JK

[ForcedChaos]

@screwster101 thats touching man if i could thumbs up you more than once  say 50 thousand times i would

[FREE6678]

@screwster101 -Yes. I agree. This band was blessed. Their words speak of only death, war, pain and decay but the feeling they give is one of joy and freedom. No one can listen to these songs without feeling a sense of release. The whole energy of the band screams FREEDOM! Metallica speaks to the American soul and to the souls of all those in the world who long for freedom and self enpowerment. May God save Metallica!

[Jonathan1224jc]

@FREE6678 may god save mettallica and rid us of this america ughh

[metalrules81]

@screwster101 Shit man thats what its all about \m/

[Fuckeeeerrrr]

[screwster101]

Beautiful emotion and purity in his voice.

[flavy1000]

You`ve got the greatest idea ever,thanks forposting this!!

Flavy

[MrRhoadsliveson]

dang i sure wish i could sing like james he's amazing its just so powerful and its perfect i love his vocals

[maddermofo]

what's that effect behind his voice??? It's like he's singing in a massive chamber or something, and then you can hear a keyboard or something doubling up his vocal melody. Interesting stuff

[Guitarist2095]

@maddermofo theres like a reverb and some wierd reverse delay on it haha it sounds pretty cool

[bananarama666]

@nazworkshop Amen, brother. This guy wins tons of respect for giving me a break.

[fayorfali]

omg james is amazing, his voice is unbelievable

[queenville]

yeah i can't believe they were thinking about a new vocalist in the early days

[CrazyK38]

mit welchem programm kann man sowas machen... und wo kriege ich so ein programm her? würde gerne aus einen song den gesang rausschneiden geht das???

[TheTheAndreiasantos]

Best singer ever!!! =)

I love the last sentence 'Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye'

greatest lyrics ever, I think :)

[misstoyboxfan]

Wow, James' voice is amazing! So chilling

[metallicafanfjdk]

[GaBySoaD]

Deathly lost this can´t be real, can´t stand this hell i feel. Emptiness is filling me to the POOINT OF AAGOONY. Growing darkness taking dawn, i was me but NOW HE´S GOOOOOONE (8) GOSSHHHH CHICKEN SKINNNN

[mbd303030]

5:20 is unreal...if you don't get chills listening to that, you're not a true tallica fan

[gerby90]

and thats an understatement. u cant call urself a rock music fan if you dont get chills down your spine listening to that. its one of the most brilliantly composed two-guitar melodies ever...

[strikeout1991]

believe me dude, i always get fuckin chills down my spine while listening to that, this song fits my life situation that i'm in for years now

such a great song

[metallicafanfjdk]

i only get the chills when all instruments are playing even vocals

[mrmclovin3475]

@mbd303030 totally agreed

[bbbb111cccc]

@mbd303030 ohh damn your right, i had some major chills around there hahaha

[WizzardOfGlue]

@mbd303030 its actually pretty easy to play too

[douchbag66653]

@mbd303030 ur right its pretty epic did get chills :D but have to admit it better with the most epic end solo ever created!

[Spikez100]

@mbd303030 forget 5:20 i got chills when he started singing

[slemsven01]

@mbd303030 dude i got the chills

[MrBobbyjoe5]

[METARSDAY]

[sandwitch126]

[ibanezrg170guitar]

[mclisteer00]

[Kyoshomies]

Actually quite beautiful :)

[Landerkuh]

@Kyoshomies indeed

[queenville]

quite?

[Kyoshomies]

@queenville Okeiokei VERYVERYVERY beautiful :)

[SeraphimPwnsU]

Are there two versions of Fade to Black? I hear this one played on the radio, but the one I currently have (as well as the one I had on cassette) don't have the final "goodbyeeeee".

[gerby90]

u whiney faggots stop complaining about whats in the track and what not.

the real problem is that this track has been cut short at 6:40. at least post the entire thing WITHOUT the fade out, like the rest of your fade to black uploads. can you re-upload the track complete this time?? that would be great

[JoskyMT]

@introfalisen Nobody cares, dude.

[TiazaLynn]

I have lost the will to live simply nothing more to give.

[Soxpert]

In the finished song you don't realize how many effects are on his voice on this song.

[tfkhellzone]

James Hetfield is God.

[Wdss21MetallicA]

I heard piano at 2:59-3:26?

[spiderfan117]

emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony!

[bananarama666]

internet to deaf guy - this is not vocals only, it is guitar and vocals and your editing sucks

[max8591]

internet to dumb guy - Maybe you should not only listen to the first seconds of the song but until the vocals actually kick in, and then notice what an idiot you are =)

[bananarama666]

lol? why, does the later part with the vocals delete the first part, the one with all the guitar? Isn't there still guitar in this track????? wtf stupidity fail lol

[crapmaster5000]

your an idiot and you fail hardcore.

[bananarama666]

you suck ulrich's ass lol

[fweeduff]

@bananarama666

The guitar was played while he recorded his voice

[max8591]

man if you want some answers you should explain better than saying stuff about later parts with vocals deleting first parts.

I guess the guitars come from the guitar hero mix, and to be honest, if find them quite welcome, i prefer to listen to some guitars than to nothing during the instrumental bits , and the parts of the song you wanted to hear vocal only, you get vocal only, so why bitching @ the guy who uploaded the video and did a good job? Oo

Anyway, peace man

[bananarama666]

I don't need to explain nothing, listen: the title says vocals ONLY <-- it is capitalized

This clip contains MULTIPLE GUITAR TRACKS and cello or whatever. Is that fucking clear enough? Your problem is not with me, it is with the retard who uploaded it.

Of course i like the guitars but that doesn't mean that they don't exist in this track, does it now??? This is vocals AND GUITARS, not vocals ONLY

Want more proof that the is a retard? Check out the tags: "rob trujillo" "master of puppets" WTF

[chisox91]

@bananarama666 wow lol

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

you're being dumb. The master vocal track also has rhythm guitar at some points

[bananarama666]

You are dumb. That means that the master track isn't "vocals ONLY" either. Why is this so hard to understand? If a track has guitars in it how can it ever be vocals ONLY?

So every one of you finds this correct: guitar + vocals = vocals only

who is dumb now?

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

the real master tracks would have all been separate, but since it is from guitar hero, they have to fit everything into 4 files. the file is called Fade To Black vocals, download it yourself and see

[bananarama666]

"vocals" is not the same as "vocals ONLY" unless your english is real bad.

It is mainly a vocals track, but there sure as hell are guitars in it. Yet people fill pages upon pages of comments trying to convince that what everyone can clearly hear is wrong.

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

hahaha I don't seem to remember telling anyone that there were no other instruments in this. fish on!

[bananarama666]

No other instruments? Maybe this is only appearing on my PC, but this video is named Fade To Black VOCALS ONLY.

Deny it all you want, this is fucking wrong. Big deal or not, isolated or not, THIS TRACK CONTAINS GUITARS LIKE IT OR NOT. No justification behind it will make you right, be cause YOU ARE WRONG.

I'm gonna flag this one for misleading text and be done with it, lol. You people so full in DE-NILE you are in danger to be eaten by crocodiles.

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

Wow that's not cool. Flagging a vid over a tiny thing like this? That's a dick move. Now the video'll be taken down because of a retarded argument over semantics. You must be proud.

[bananarama666]

Is the title wrong and misleading? Yes it is. So why is it a dick move to warn others?

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

because the vid may get taken down? You see, no one but you nitpicks about something so insignificant. And if you wanna argue semantics when the vocals are sung, no other instruments are played; so everyone is getting the vocal line just like they want to see. therefore the title is telling the truth. it just doesnt mention that there are other instruments when there are no vocals. so either way you're wrong

[bananarama666]

wtf lol how bad is your english? "Vocals only" means there is nothing else than vocals, which is clearly a lie. It is not a case of semantics, it is FACTS. You are wrong, and the title is wrong, this is hardly insignificant. It's the fucking title. Youtube has the flag function for a reason, and this is it. There is no significant and insignificant, there is only right and wrong.

With your unbelievably dumb logic the vid could be called "guitars only". Seriously, i think you are beyond help...

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

ok, you keep thinking I am beyond help. My English is perfectly fine. And it's really not significant, it most definitely IS semantics. the title isnt important compared at all compared to the video content, which includes vocals without the guitars or bass behind it does it not?

[bananarama666]

Your english sucks. You don't even know the difference between semantics and facts. The title IS important to everyone looking for videos, and youtube thinks so, that's you you are supposed to flag misleading titles. Sorry, you lose here.

You didn't answer me, why not name the video "guitar only" since it includes guitar without the vocals on top? Can you really not see that this is wrong?

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

I didn't say there were ONLY vocals in it, some other idiot may have :p I just said that it isnt cool to try to get the vid REMOVED so none of us can enjoy it just for some silly thing like this...

[bananarama666]

So first you defend the uploader, now you call him an idiot? Now THIS is not cool, even though i agree.

I am not trying to get it removed, you made that up. I am only trying to change the title. Flagging does not remove a video, as you can see it is still happily playing.

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

I didn't mean the uploader goddammit. Some idiot in the comment section who started this argument, as I clearly did not..

And I didn't know that :/

Another thing to do would be to just kindly ask him to change it if it bothers you so much...

[bananarama666]

Yes you did! The uploader was the one that set the title that says there are "vocals only", who else?.

I think you are getting confused.

[iSewil]

@bananarama666

Your totally right and no one cares. Ignore these little kids.

[bananarama666]

Thank you, at least someone can still see the light. I've helped all i can here, so it's time to put an and to this once and for all. Good luck and let's hope not many more people get misled by this.

[Scarecrow545]

@bananarama666

Ok. You replied to someone else below and were having argument with them when I intervened and argued as well. That someone else is the "idiot" I was referring to

[zemlay]

@bananarama666 You obviously never took Music Technology as a BTEC. Right, first off. Vocal Tracks contain rhythm parts that the member of the band has been playing, its 1) how they keep timing and 2) how to see if the vocals fit the track. thats the most simple way of putting it. But you can't for a minuite think your smart.

[bananarama666]

Wow, incredibly how retarded people can be. You obviously never took reading comprehension.

Learn to fucking read please: Are there any guitar parts in the audio track of this video YES or NO?

Thank you.

[zemlay]

@bananarama666 erm.. yes? there's the rhythm guitar part playing in the intro.
