Imperial March by Metallica (Heavy metal version)

[CoolKabbage]

The snare doesn't sound like any drum I've heard Lars use, and James barely uses pinch harmonics like that.

[masonandrachael]

Not metallica, I played on this, and I was never a member of metallica, thank god.

[metallicatilldethify]

This is shit. Metallica didnt do this.

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@metallicatilldethify Oh yeah because nothing metallica did was ever shit.

[metallicatilldethify]

@dakotamanomgwtf IMO metallica never did. I can truthfully tell you I like all of their stuff. Granted some is better then other stuff but I like it all. ST anger was my fav album and death magnetic is my least fav. And yet id put that album ahead of any other album iv ever heard. Change is good and i like how metallica kicks ass in any style of music.

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@metallicatilldethify Okay I'll respect your opinion but I'm not seeing how St. Anger could be your Fav. Metallica album putting aside I don't like anything past the Black album by them.

[metallicatilldethify]

@dakotamanomgwtf We all got our tastes man. to each his own. Peace

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@metallicatilldethify Well said.

[Shr3dd3r2k8]

Rage against the Machine covered this song as well when Force Commander came out. You could download it from the official website, at the time. As for whether or not this version is Metallica: Who cares? You can imagine them doing it. They did La Bamba and If you're happy and you know it.

[MrThoLho]

Metallica n'as pas du tout une distortion pareil --'

[tascouts120]

They did do it it's on their website

[xXCaptnPeteXx]

If this was really Metallica it would be like ten minutes long... So I doubt it is. And whoever covered this ruined the Imperial March. Because it sucks dick, but it's still too good for Metallica!

[salamandra3333]

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

[BOUKEBANDSTRA]

THIS AETURNUS.. NOT METALLICA :o

[BLITZKRIEGMANIAC]

This is not metallica

[deerkiller8pt9pt]

the name of the band that did this cover is Aeturnus.

[bronco590]

@deerkiller8pt9pt alright thank you very much haha it helped alot i always though this was there version XD haha thx

[SonicRidder01]

@bronco590

wait.

2 months ago you got the correct information on who did this cover

and you still have metallica as the band who did it..? o _o;

[bronco590]

@SonicRidder01 yes b/c i have too much shit goin on to wanna take it down i dont even know why im responding to this

not being rude just theres the reason

[deathhammer14]

@SonicRidder01 make that over a year

[pedro911212]

shit man

[kickkcik]

metalica did do a version though

[TheMichaelshadow]

@kickkcik no they didnt

[Scuzyman]

Don't care if its metallica or not it just kicks major ass

[REGADEROO]

this is not Metallica........

[enomarekim]

Yeah, this is good, but the orchestra version can't be beat.

[JayKayDanks]

I'm not a good enough Metallica fan to instantly know if this is them or not, but I am a smart enough human being to spend thirty seconds finding the link to the full version of this song... by Aeturnus.

[melistentodeathmetal]

I would like the person who uploaded this to prove that metallica played it.

[ramptech85]

@melistentodeathmetal I dont know if this one is Metallica but I garentee that they cover it.

[thrasher90]

yep, for all I know this is metallica

[uzamakiknight575]

If this actually covered by Metallica,

then they ruined a masterpiece.

[zerothehero123]

uhm, this is the metallica version... What version are all these people talking about?

[TheMichaelshadow]

@zerothehero123 THERE IS NO FUCKING METALLICA VERSION!!!!!!!!

[zerothehero123]

@TheMichaelshadow chill dude. is it that important that it's not metallica? There's a much better version of this anyway.

[CEnforce]

@zerothehero123  IT is VERY important that it's not Metallica. NO ONE, under ANY circumstances, no matter the level of consequence, big or small, deserves credit for something they have nothing to do with. And this is not Metallica. Not in any way, shape, or form.

[GfCommando]

if its metal it doesent mean that MetallicA made it.

[garranto]

yeah but the the tempo and rhythm match metallicas style so it has to be and nobody said anything about that if its metal metallica made it

[stewiefan95]

my brother has just about every single metallica song ever made now i though they never did an Imperial March and that theres was a random song until i listened to it and this is the only one on youtube that i found. but this is by metallica

[Cartoonyworld109]

this doesnt even sound like the imperial march

[Clarinerd617]

Sorry, what did you have in mind when you think "Imperial March"? some theme from a history channel documentary about Julius Caesar? Most people think star wars, which has been covered here, almost note for note.

[MarluxionProductions]

Not Metallica, but ok.

[CBRHurricane6]

this is more believeable as a metallica cover, but no...its not....where the hells the real one?

[zmaacrekk]

is not metallica, hahaha, you stupid bastard hahahahahaha

[zorbaknecromancer]

wtf anyway it ROCKS

[chardwreck]

Metallica NEVER did an Imperial March cover.

[mldusan1]

oh bite me how would u know that

[ramptech85]

@chardwreck Yeah they did this might not be it but they played it at a show I went to.

[boazandjiacinth]

@chardwreck yes they did, i have seen the bloody vid of them playing it live, if i can find , i will send it to you, i agree though, it sucks when people say its them and its not..

[KriegSal]

@chardwreck they did :/

[BOUKEBANDSTRA]

@chardwreck

no aeturnus did

[chaseisamazingftw]

@chardwreck yes they did. i has it on me ipod. :)

[jsdjinmaster]

@chardwreck yes they did

look to the right

[chardwreck]

@jsdjinmaster

Google Search for "Did metallica do imperila march cover".



[falseprophecy666]

@chardwreck You my friend need to buy the Big For DVD and watch Disc 2 for they did play it live.

[TheJohnCrichton]

If by Metallica, you mean Lego Star Wars...

[HEREoverHERE]

I can;t believe it's not Metallica

[wogdogify]

and you would be right

[Obsoliit]

i can see how someone would think this was metallica

[ptschafer]

I have heard the REAL Metallica version of this, and this is not it.

[MetallicaFan349]

can you please send me a link to the real version? theres like 100 of them on youtube and i want to hear the real one. thanks

[ptschafer]

I wish I could provide a link to the real version. I had a rip from one of their fan-can CD's from the 90's, that included a slightly longer version that sounded real convincing. In reality, this version sounds very much like it, with the exception of the drums sounding obviously too synthesized. There are some live shows when Metallica plays little bits of it, which backs up the claim, but I don't have the original studio demo anymore sadly. in this case, I wish I did.

[jedipedipl]

Yes. it sounds...

[rextro94]

this doesn't sound like star wars!!

[BigDane31]

i have heard the metallica version,, and this one isnt it

[espf100monsterman]

you're wrong.

[mykeymyke101]

@BigDane31 THERE IS NO FUCKING METALLICA VERSION!!

[xeylace]

wow, nice shit man =)

[McSH0TY]

Ok you guys are morons if you think this is Metallica. First of all this isn't how they play and second if you were real fans you could obviously tell this isn't them.

[AlmegaOpha]

I've heard the Metallica version of the Imperial March... and this isn't it.

[619Sexbomb]

hu d fuck post this.. this is not metallica...

[BAVKT]

[SuperTeep]

[SkywalkerGFZ]

Die assholes who write idiot things like the faggot below let us watch a video and read some comments without having to read such lowlife crap

[Fussino]

FUCK YEAH! I bet if James would hear this, he'd tell the band to record a MetallicaVersion of it XDD

[scarey2k7]

[metalor85]

[SinanDira]

[olliepwnsall]

tHrashmetal, perhaps.

[W4RW017]

I fucking hate typos, perhaps.

[LPC9514]

[kusakun]

[metallicadimi]

[LordoftheAxe06]

[Scuzyman]

[Klobilob]

LOL best comment ever.. made my day.

[cultofdagon]

It's not Metallica!

[DarthAzrel]

That's actually the song "Deathmarch" by a defunct Christian Death Metal/Grindcore band from the mid-90's called "Aeturnus" on their album "From Blackest Darkness". In the intro (which is cut off here as well as the ending), you first hear the vague sound of a tie fighter along with Darth Vader's breathing and a few riffs of the piece. The ending has Grand Moff Tarkin saying the lines "You don't know how hard I found it signing the order to terminate your life."

[Sk8tboardingRulez]

this fucking rocks out loud. nice job on finding this

Metallica RULES!!!!!!

[mdharfman]

Where can i get that?

[bronco590]

just search imoerial march mp3

[D3RK3]

[youliketotube8]
