[edgenail85]

I don't care how u played it. What I care about is how much u got that guitar for?

[yorderporter]

I have no words, nice job, i like how you turn back the song... you play it just like in the album!!

[MrUomoz]

[melrosegirl07]

[lasv155]

I loved the intro to blackend. its cool you did it forward too. now.... why dont you have a video of you doing the whole song and intro included. come on petulio77 ..Thumbs this one up if you agree!

[guitarshreder91]

I hate how Gibson had to have a piss fit about ESP's Explorers they made them better for cheaper and they had to bitch about it THANK YOU GIBSON FOR BITCHIN

[iamtheburninator]

XD I love how he schooches his chair up to the camera to turn it off.

But in all seriousness great job!

[nbcviper]

Thats my next guitar!

[conorvrhcp]

sounds awesome, good job

[Nexor123]

1:01 HE'S HUMPING THE AIR

[LordCADAVER]

very beautiful intro .... i never now, it was originally played "normal" and then reversed ... reversed version is much better ... thank you for cover ...

[Gamer21gll]

eargasm.

[timoluetk]

Damn that guitars sexy

[MrMegazuki]

Nice :)

[udermoreira]

except by the part you craw on the chair, very good!

[ozzzzy939]

i see your a big shrek fan... oh and good job..

[Larsi1k]

is that a EPS LTD ex-401 ? :)

[elsexy86]

@Larsi1k its actually a real ESP guitar

that type of body was discontinued on ESP s guitars due to Gibson saying that it was an obvious copy ti their explorer guitar, so thats the answer to why the ex guitars are more sharp in shape and have a different headstock, so this is a rare model, cant tell you the exact name but im sure it was a James hetfield signature model back then :)

[leon2365]

@elsexy86 but what about the ibanez destroyers? did the same thing happen to them?

[elsexy86]

@leon2365 well I dont know what happened to that model, it has obviously the same design as an explorer, but the destroyers design has changed over the years and it doesn't have the same design anymore. the headstock was never the same as Gibson so im guessing there weren't any legal problems. I really dont know why these Ibanez models are not so popular anymore but there are still new models on the market like the DTT- 700, hope that helps

[leon2365]

@elsexy86 yeah it has changed. and same here about why their popularity isnt high. the brand name sounds epic, as well as the model name. compare:

gibson explorer

ibanez destroyer

lol. thanks anyways

[JohnnyDaBird]

you should make and put up the tabs for this :D

[acrawford69]

anyone got tabs to this, cant find any :(

[Niziomas]

[guz19100]

[3acdc3mtlca]

didnt they reverse it on the album?

[acrawford69]

@3acdc3mtlca yep the way he first played it was the way it was originally done, then somehow they reversed it and thats what you hear

[IcedEarth13]

i almost bought an esp explorer like this until i found out it was a fake...are you aware yours may be fake?

[diamondback604]

[ivenstein]

[opensandwich]

[grendelized]

awesome job.

[ArtificialFlavaFTB2]

What kind of guitar, I don't recognize the head stock

[TehOni]

That's an ESP, older model Explorer before Gibson sued their pants off over the design.

[yoeasypunk]

Looks like a ESP, maybe a custom?

[Carr2120]

it says ESP on the headstock... lol

[CliffDecadence]

NICE GUITAR!!! And nice playing too.

[TyandMike]

Sick 'Love the guitar too!

[paulgilbert54220]

tab please :) please please please :o

[skatallica76]

that it accually REALLY easy to learn for yourself

[paulgilbert54220]

I know i figured it out haha lmao there is a tab for it, i think i found it off a live version

[AbsenceoftheSacred91]

if you EVER want to sell that guitar let me know, i would murder for it.

[godlikecharacta]

Lmao! Murder haha!

[jeanpaulcortin]

this is good!! but it has some mistaken notes... look @ it ....0:11 & 0:17

[StonedSavior]

You could just listen and basically looka at what hes playing....

[bleedingme1992]

Is that a Shrek poster behind you?

[exxxtrmer]

@bleedingme1992 No, it's a poster of him, LOL! Just kidding xd! Great playing!

[robdamiano76]

can you do more videos of them please? it's just so awesome

[UnderOne37]

Awesome !

[Doomzdayxx]

Love this song

[elmingodotcom]

mannnnn send me some tabs please, im not in the mood to play it by ear

[radudman]

then u aren't a guitar player. or a metallica fan.

[elmingodotcom]

fuck you

[AHTSvideo]

radudman is right, any true guitar player would want to try to learn by ear first, if that fails THEN you look up tabs, well, he may not be right about the true Metallica fan part though

[andrewhakim]

omg i want the tabs for this whole part of the song!!!

[elementskater3783]

post a video on how to do the intro plz! =]

[dntinpalevo]

both versions are great !! I 've been listening to Metallica for 10 years and they still amaze me with their musical skills and imagination !! Metal up your ass!!!

[creepingXdeath95]

Play the rest!!!

[6369rd]

Good Shit fam

[MohamedAkhbar]

hey man u look like zidane.

[MohamedAkhbar]

metallica's got some riffs i tell u!

[metallicaforlife90]

The beginning is backwards or ?

[jmoney0691]

Yea, kinda, Metallica recorded it "backwards like you hear this guy play first, but for the final album they reversed this version, to get the version you hear on the CD. So in all the one on the CD is "backwards".

[ReverendNegar]

omg it woulda been so badass if they kept the intro the original way then but the reversed after it like you did in the video

[masterofmetal85]

I use that for my band the orginal it fades and goes into the cd one I downloaded it from online the crowd goes nuts

[90kulu33]

HOYL shit spoton perfect :D:D

[azmiyt]

great! great!!

[DarkLord1610]

good!

i love your guitar man give it to me!!!

[Fiaetalova]

[TallicaMaiden]

[THETATERFNAT3R]

THANK YOU!!!...do you know how hard it is to finde the tabs for this?

[96poyman3]

nice shrek poster w00t

[jian2069]

id like to learn this. lol

[mrdoffy]

wooow niiice esp explorer

i dont think they make the head on the guitar like that anymore!!

thats very sad because the new design sucks ass!

[RtL594]

Its probably not that hard to find a tab on it...Google it, a little FYI for yall: The first intro this guy played was metallicas original blackened intro then they tried reversing it and they liked that better, so the intro you all know on Metallica's Blackened is actually reversed.

[knocksvil]

it is very hard 2 find a tab on it but who needs a tab when we got dis video

[knocksvil]

ya peach.. high five!!

[Pieman3020]

hats pointless

[affan101]

this and enter the sandman are probably my only favorite songs by metallica but i only like the backwards intro of this song nothing else

[greatezalor]

fucken sick duuude!!

[WazzoWisto]

the guitar is fucking awesome!!!!!

[hoopesk2]

[keef71]

[IYIetallica]

[gawdzila]

FUCKING EPIC!

Nice job man, sounds absolutely incredible in both directions. It's like the two greatest intros ever written in one, the beginning of that song gives me goosebumps every time :)

[LMessiah]

wow thats how it should have sound on the record, no fade in, play once forward and then backward

[DarkeRlml]

both intros sound great lml

hell yeah!

[datevifoco]

and that idea was so genious

[XShAdowFaX415]

stupid Jason!!! It was his idea to play it backwards.

[costiantinos]

veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­rry nice man:)

[kamucho]

nice one man, wen u played the intro the rite way roudn it sounded awesome

[Alonsomario29]

this is my favorite intro, very good job dude ;D

[C0ke45smom]

that was fuckin magical

[gta4fighter]

um in a way at 00:30 it sounds like its going forwards and not backwards

[williamtrevormcneil]

in the original album version, the intro is played reverse

[KenjiXD]

thats so fuckin epic

[talonor]

sounds better backwards (well, the way it was originally recorded) imo.

[mgsmike]

nice man, that was awesome

[jg928]

i get shivers when i hear that intro

[voivod206]

same here

[stefan90210]

yeah

[ignyte]

wow.... this inspires me a lot.... T_T Bravo!!!

[foreskins]

Wow ... flawless.

... *looks up tabs for self*

[alexportugalfreek]

nice ESP u got man

[dgomezc3]

[DesertRacer75]

That was pretty sick. Thumbs up from me!

[viktorsjogren]

awesome

[floppykid]

its pretty simpl;e to learn by ear. infact id advise anyone who uses tabs alot to start learning by ear more it works alot!

[BRomero1331]

dope ass guitar son

[llAkuTsUll]

what delay are you using ?? and what is the preset. Thanks

[fartshinooger]

love the x plorrer

[Symmetry4321band]

Nice, i prefer the intro both backwards and forwards rather than just one of them

[TzekeT]

lol *scoots towards camera * xD....

where did you find the tab for this/ did you learn it by ear

[DistortionLiving]

Love the guitar man

[guitarhero2x]

kick ass dude I like it better the original lol i wondered why they kept the backwards one

[fizensguitar]

man this means that anytime u create a riff u wont have only one but 2 new riffs xD sounds good to me xD then u can mix them up and get new ideas xD im gonna try

[russianrule13]

hey. can you tell me where you got the tabs for that cause that purely amazing!!

[susman65]

im trying to find that guitar can you tell me the name and model please
