Metallica - The Four Horsemen (Mechanix tempo)

[sadsadasdsadasdsadas]

they played faster than this in 1985 search, four horsemen 1985. Metallica > Deth. not starting a flame war

[evhjpppf98]

i want the mechanix with james h voice

[GodOfBlackened]

lol its funny on the Kill Em All booklet it say written by james, lars and dave :O i think metallica wrote it and dave just took it cause he wrote most of it and he was proud of it.

[LuciferEsMiDios]

@GodOfBlackened Pff Dave has full credit on the riffs,shut up

[MIKEYEKIMIKEY]

If only Dave can sing this good and play this clear at that speed

[xxBlamedBxx]

I think that the riff at 2:08 should still be at four horseman tempo

[DrGustavoMarques]

Lars never be able to play at that speed.

[TheAsdfqwerty123]

James Hetfield's Voice > Dave Mustaine's Voice

[N00biish]

@TheAsdfqwerty123 My Dick > Your Mum (note that ">" here means "in")

:)

[CentraCross]

@TheAsdfqwerty123 Dave's use of voice > James's use of voice.

WOW! I've watched this too much!

[kein96]

The Four Mechanix xDDDDDD I just LOL'd. Mechanix in TFH tempo? It isn't sound good (I tried it)

[CDGRMETALMANIAC]

THE FOUR MECHANIX?????

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH lml

[dethaut0psy]

I like both bands, a lot. But honestly D. Mustaine has more talent than all Metallica members together. And if you are not down with me is because you all are ignorant blind lovers of new MeCashlica. Hail old 80's Metallica and forever Megadeth!

[11raymixes11]

Facilemente pudieron tocar a esta velocidad en Seatle el 89' como hicieron con whiplash

[kevguitars]

i like megadeth, but i think THE FOUR HORSEMEN its better than mechanix.

Para los giles q no saben ingles:

Me gusta megadeth, pero pienso que THE FOUR HORSEMEN es mejor que mechanix.

posdata: Aprendan ingles

Posdata 2:

METALLICA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ScaRage150]

dudo que lars toque a esta velocidad xD

[83eetfuk]

it sounds hella cool dude haha

[Thechoosenhero]

The Mechanix horsemen!!! :D

[ladythrasher666]

is best Mechanix and a lot

[steffelaar]

mechanix is even faster dude... no offense but learn to play guitar , this isn't even near mechanix tempo

[metaltera86]

I can play this song easily on bass with fingers at this speed but at 0:48 its so hard!

[ANOLDMANONCRACK]

SOUNDS WAY BETTER THIS WAY!!!!!

[danielll342]

@metallica11988

poser haha



[TOJxKiLLSTeaLeR]

mechanix has too much noise while played

[bgnalm]

i can play for whom the bell tolls %25 faster

[StrangeFilmsPro]

Mechanix is faster

[metallica11988]

Not bad (Except the clean part :/ )

[eclipse5eddy]

@metallica11988

There is no clean part.

[metallica11988]

@eclipse5eddy I mean the slow part, around 2:48

[Namesjames1000]

Hahaha The bass drums actually sound like horses 0:14

[0intelligence0]

Still not fast enough!

[jamirosmajicrocks]

If the notes in between werent fucking With Kirk, this is what it would have sounded on kill Em All.

[KPNLFC]

They played it that fast in some live shows, back in the time ...

[Slayter51]

Thanks for not making it like the gay chipmunks .

[pariskotsaros]

The four mechanix is better than the horsemen :P

[13MATTallica96]

That awkward moment when Metallica can't play Mechanix at the right speed so they change the lyrics... Lol

[ScooterAndOtis]

@13MATTallica96 that moment when they played it slower because that how the original was

[MrHoopla]

This song is way too long on the actual album, especially with it's slow speed. Why the FUCK did they bump it down 30bpm?!?!

[MrHoopla]

Lol, read tons of comments. Almost 200. Everyone likes Mechanix better :P So stoked.

[Megadething]

@MrHoopla Of course, Mechanix is the original and the best, no matter the four horsemen tempo, Megadeth beats it and always will.

[MrHoopla]

@Megadething Damn fuckin straight, brother!

[TheRaven0us]

I actually prefer mechanix due to the speed, so when I listen to the four horsemen it sounds soooooooo slow to me :/

[TheFuckingsunshine]

sounds more badass they should perform thist song together i mean metallica and megadeth it would be AWESOME¡¡¡ \m/

[chaufalina13]

!!!Metallica & Megadeth!!!

"A METAL UP YOUR ASS"

[glaxko2]

I like it... It clean but it kicks someones ass

[davesibanez]

Machanix is cool, but don't ruin Four Horsemen by speeding it up. :/

[mtlhedbr5150]

@davesibanez it doesn't ruin the song! they play it live like this anyway

[vivelehardcore]

still prefer Mustaines version (still better than the original four hourseman)

[theawesomegman]

i like four horsemen better that mechanix because metallica added a solo. Also i think the lyrics in horsemen are much better than mechanix. and finally i think the slower version sounds more gritty and in your face than the faster mechanix

[MrWWEThemeSongs1V2]

Can't we just life together and listen to both songs, AND STOP FUCKING FIGHTING???

[xXDaFtxZoMbIeXx]

do the mechanix (four horsemen tempo)

[HerveGamerDude]

tone sounds better than mechanix.

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

@connorchapman1 The Four Horsemen solo is hard, but at this speed? Your guitar would catch on fire! Muhahahahahaha... I'm done.

[dannandstacey4eva]

@DeathMetalorgetjized Mustaine plays it that speed every night

[12LOTR]

@dannandstacey4eva And it sounds like shit every night

[dethaut0psy]

@12LOTR Yeh... whatever... Dave wrote this song :)

[12LOTR]

@dethaut0psy And metallica perfected it.:)

[dethaut0psy]

@12LOTR If with "perfected" you mean stealed the song, changed the lyric and added a bridge... Well ok...

[12LOTR]

@dethaut0psy i love megadeth one of my fav bands ever. dave has more technical skill that james and kirk combined. but doesnt change the fact that out of the two the four horsemen is leaps and bounds better than mechanix

[EstoyEscribiendoAca]

@dethaut0psy Stolen? as far as i'm concerned, Dave WAS part of Metallica, so there is not such a thing as "Stolen" Mustaine wrote it for his band, and his band added new things, that's all.

[DeathMetalorgetjized]

Impossible to play this on a guitar xD

[connorchapman1]

@DeathMetalorgetjized not really.

[lucasman30]

It's faster than Mechanix

[TheBadgerslayer]

@lucasman30 I think you're right, just slightly though...

[ebaumsboy09]

Anybody realize that The Mechanix was originally a Metallica song, written by Dave? Anybody? No? And that continuing to harp on about which band is better just shows you can't appreciate two great bands for their individual merits? Why can't we all just thrash?

[KirkSmammett]

@ebaumsboy09 because people are, on the collective, a bunch of cretinous fucking apes that need to be thrown into a pod to be launched into the sun. That's essentially why.

[idkwhattonamemyself]

I would really rather listen to mechanix, if only Dave weren't singing about a horny gas station mechanic. I think his career was half blind luck and half facepalm.

[333Salvador333]

metallica fucking sucks dudes

[ChargersrBA]

@333Salvador333 Could you back up your side of an arguement if I said that they didn't?

[333Salvador333]

@ChargersrBA slow em all

[ChargersrBA]

@333Salvador333 Slow? Kill em all is definately not slow.

[333Salvador333]

@ChargersrBA how about compared to killing is my business and business is good? is it slow then fuck yea metallicas a borderline country metal band they fuckin suck unless u like country or rap er sumthin

[RyanGuitarPlayer214]

Too fast for me man, Megadeth should stay Megadeth, and Metallica stay Metallica

[worldofurin]

a bit too slow still

[swordsman1995]

still not fast enough

[RodHammett95]

I prefer the original version... anyway both songs the four horsemen and mechanix are great, each one has their own "magic" for me...

[pconley22]

Kirk almost sounds like Dave here at the end...

[johnthegreek178]

The reason I prefer The Four Horsemen over Mechanix is the epic atmosphere the tempo creates, but still this is great.

[1949GeneS]

Orig. tempo is the best.

Horsemen > Mechnix

[BodaciousWickerman]

Pretty good. But's it's all about Megadeth's Mechanix Demo.

[Welshbassist17]

mechanixs?

[TheMegaDuelist]

@Welshbassist17 the better origanal version of this song by megadeth

[lucasman30]

this doesnt really work because the drums are completely different and would be next to impossible to play at the speed of mechanix

[AnaheimDucks1993]

I think in one of the big 4 shows Megadeth should play the Four Horsemen and Metallica goes and plays the Mechanix

[DerekSkater11]

Lars sure didn't do what gar samuelson did for mechanix ! The drumming is soo much better on mechanix

[chompykitty]

this is awesome!!! \m/

[keepthrashalive]

the four mechanix?

[That70sShowRocker73]

lol....this should've been the speed! its awesome! xD

[37megadethfan]

@That70sShowRocker73 it wouldve been if dave was never kicked out

[That70sShowRocker73]

@37megadethfan yea i know, that's why i prefer Mechanix :P

[xxxCarnesxxx]

What's with the whole track not being on here anyways?

[xxxCarnesxxx]

@iMarcosz Actually, it is. He wrote the Mechanix before he was ever in Metallica. Those are pretty much his solos too except for the slowed tempo part. That kinda might have been partially his too but I am not for sure. Kirk has stated that James and Lars told him to use Dave's leads as a blueprint and that is exactly what he did. The only part Jamesd wrote was the slowed tempo part. It's obvious.

[Cristianhobo]

This is daves song!

[iMarcosz]

@Cristianhobo Sorry But No,only the riff and the beginning of last solo



[BallonkaSwe]

This is one of the few songs where i prefer Kirk over Dave solo-wise!

[DimitriVHefley]

LOL this STILL isn't as fast as Mechanix.

[ToolsnFire]

Sounds like horses galloping on those certain parts

[DimeRR5150]

This needs more fucking views full support

[keepthrashalive]

kirk's solos fucking blow in this song,

[aryagamis]

kirk's solo sounds better at this speed :)

[223Hadoken]

Thrash on cocaine or meth

[MrMi95]

JWhat i want to say ill say, I prefer The four horsemen wersjon :D

[adamjamesmike]

Dude why the fuck would you ruin a song like that

[dinpepshi]

Download link?

[0104lgt]

this is bit fast for me. just suonds too rushed.

nevertheless i still love this song.

It should've been a bit faster on the album tho- like 5% faster

anyway good job.

[SpitzNamen597]

This is the Metallica i wish to remember.

[HardcoreSuperstar464]

i keep headbanging to hard and hitting the replay button.......thank god

[GNRslash28]

I raped the replay button on this video.

[whatisabercowich]

One funny thing is that they play it on Cliff 'em all... equally fast or even faster than this.

[MrAlfredRitter]

Really great music, i can feel the sound. Its music from eccentric musicans. Greetings from Germany

[DamageFuckerNO1]

Man this is just simply awesome

[fleshmcfilth]

this is how it should have been on the album....thanks for making this

[rocafella142]

@fleshmcfilth i hope you're kidding this sounds like shit

[37megadethfan]

@fleshmcfilth yeah but this is only 5 min long and we all know that metallaica songs have to DRAG ON for atleast 10 more minutes after the song gets boring

[MegaAsswhooper]

Thank you! Thank you! I like the four horsemen more than mechanix, but I <3 the mechanix tempo! Going to facebook!

[mccollibri61350]

2:48 sweet home halabama

[Blizzstyle4321]

i was like ok lets practice four horsemen on guitar a few times...

i took this video as bakin track ...

yeah well its faster i noticed :D

[666NeedleZ666]

the sped up guitar riff at 1:27-1:40 is awsome

[tuegos34]

haha exactly mechanix XD

[Rastard12345]

Lars wolud never be able to play this fast live.

[DrummerSVK83]

@Rastard12345 are u sure? or.. are u serious?

[n00bt00bpr0ducti0ns]

@Rastard12345 Gar could!

[MasterMetallica010]

four horsemen in mechanix tempo or just mechanix xD

[ironmaiden0510]

@MasterMetallica010 Its not the same song mate, different solo and lyrics :P and some other parts

[andrewds98]

just so u noits like 30 percent

[DonnieYen91]

original is way better ;]

[rothchild17]

very cool.

[AdolfoUpiicsa]

mechanix is better!!

[KoHaVOK]

4:53 to the end has always been my favorite part of this song. It's..so..awesome.

[godsofmetal24]

Fuckinnngggggg Greatttt!!! this mix is mind blower!!! very fast!!

i like both songs!! and both are the best!! but this mixed tempo song is more thrasher i think!!!

fucking Great Job in this!!! @Joorum great work!!

[AJBonkoski]

I think mechanix is actually a bit faster

[MrNemoazul]

How you make This??? :S

[Joorum]

@MrNemoazul

Adobe Soundbooth - Subtracting 20% of the track timing.

[blizzardballz]

@Joorum using a metronome I counted 28% increse in Mechanix, average. To calculate the timing you would have to remove the middle bridge and solo from

Metallica and remove the intro from Megadeth. I also found the pitch is is dropped by about a quarter (it might be an eighth I cant quite remember which) step in the Mechanix.

the Mechanix tempo is about 264/265 bpm

The Four Horsemen is about 206/207 bpm

[blizzardballz]

@Joorum ♭+ (♭0.5)

[blizzardballz]

@Joorum ½♭

[JLLproductions]

metallica could probably play this song 100 times faster than that but the just don't want to blow anyone's minds so they choose not to

[invisibleblood100]

@JLLproductions kirk sucks he cant

[JLLproductions]

@invisibleblood100 kirk is fuckin awesome he can do anything.

[invisibleblood100]

@JLLproductions look up chris brderick betcha cant play this hes the new guitarist of megdaeth or just listen to the mechanix solo,way out of kirks skils

[JLLproductions]

@invisibleblood100 kirk could probably play that any day lol

[invisibleblood100]

@JLLproductions no,no he cudnt

[LeonHaXorZ7]

@JLLproductions He can't sweep pick.

[JLLproductions]

@LeonHaXorZ7 you don't have to sweep pic to be an epic guitarest

[LeonHaXorZ7]

@JLLproductions Yes, but you also have to be able to sweep pick in order to "do anything".

[JLLproductions]

@LeonHaXorZ7 no not really lol sweep picking is where you sweep up and down the strings but instead of it sounding like a chord it sounds like an individual note

[ravensall22]

@LeonHaXorZ7 there is no sweep picking and yes he can

[FockingLars]

i've been meaning to do this myself

but you've done it already

[0intelligence0]

still don't feel like it's fast enough

[VsridenV]

@0intelligence0

Then check out for 'The Four Horsemen 1.5 x faster' on youtube. (I've just uploaded it) :F

[TMetalFromHell]

Very cool! \m/

[reinono654]

nice 4 hor SEMEN

[jasee1227]

THIS IS THE SHIT

[tusnalgas]

good shit man, i always wanted to play along to four horsemen at this tempo, very fun!!

[DrHarvesterOfSorrow]

i dont think its thiiiiis fast, maybe like 15 16 or 17 percent faster

[metalfool4295]

i cant decide whether i like the faster or slower speed on this song. there are great elements. It does feel a little rushed at some points, but it ads a nice thrash feel to it. particularly on the main riff. but i think the speed is fine at its normal pace

[strikeout1991]

@metalfool4295

you know the main riff is good in both speeds, the verse riff sounds better in four horsemen speed

but the solo riff (mechanix solo and four horsemen 2nd solo) sounds better in mechanix speed, imo of course

[palexis2095]

@omnipotent1995 Dude, Ellefson plays at this speed...

[JMnDC4eva]

BETTER THAN MEGADETH'S MECHANIX PERIOD

[WallSpace]

i love 2:11 part !

[HotXRock]

I like Mechanix from No Life 'TIl Leather and Mechanix by Megadeth seems rushed to my ears as is this track. Also original Mechanix had a melodic feel in it, which Mustaine kind of lost on his first Megadeth album.

[GenGintoki]

This is great.

[xXXExiledXXx]

sounds way too rushed

[silveroon009]

Mechanix sounds GREAT epicly fast, The Four Horsemen sounds GREAT heavy and slow.

[LickeNNNN]

@silveroon009 Agree...

[strikeout1991]

@silveroon009

good comment, you deserve the 30 thumbs up for that (31 now)

[possiblespammer]

@silveroon009

i really like these kinds of comments

i like this because its fast and the other because its heavy

it doesnt matter if someone stole it since its played by the biggest bands in heavy metal

but if lets I take a song like Seek and Destroy, change the lyrics and play it slower I would be considered a thief by the commuity

[BosnaDiamond]

naah i like the slower paced version make's it sound more heavier to be honest 

[KillzoneV3]

sounds way better in mechanix tempo if you ask me :)

[MrGarrth]

In WoW, I was in a guild called Hit the lights. and then i joined another guild without checking its name. it was The four horsemen:D

[tehkevxor1983]

I gotta admit, this is pretty awesome. I'd love it if someone could take the actual Mechanix song as played off Killing Is My Business and overlay James' lyrics, kind of like this. Lyrically, I like "Four Horsemen" better, but musically I have to admit I like Mustaine's version better, more stripped down and to the point, and I dig the solos more. That's just my opinion, both are amazing songs!

[ThrashinB4Fashion]

@tehkevxor1983 yeah, i think the lyrics in mechanix are pretty shit, i mean if dave wants to talk about sex then why not just say it rather than talk about cars

[tehkevxor1983]

@ThrashinB4Fashion Innuendo, man. "Pearl Necklace", "Big Bottom", plenty of AC/DC songs. I'd definitely rather hear about badassery than hos, especially in a thrash song.

[MaggotKumar]

I prefer the four horseman because of the interlude created by Kirk

its just makes the song so much better

[strikeout1991]

@MaggotKumar

interlude?

nah it's a solo, interludes are the ones in MoP and The unforgiven for example

[mercadog09]

you people are so fucking retarded and really dont understand music, Metallica's version is way better you can barely understand any fuckin thing Dave says in Mechanix if anyone say mechanix is better than Four Horsemen your all smoking crack just like dave lmfao Megadeth is lyrically and instumentally a fuckin joke... who would they be without Metallica, Mercyful Fate, and King Diamond they would be nothing like you dumb fucks... besides who is still selling out concerts today METALLICA hahaha
