pretty good cover but there was no bass at the beginning. didnt bring out the pedal or anything. i thought they would at least attempt it. other then that it was a good cover. :) a lot better then i could do
did they make a studio cover, or the only cover they have did was a live version. Metal and punk is basically improved on the east now, for some reason its kind of heavy'r to me... especially new bands
Oh dear the vocalist clearly doesn't have a voice for metal. He should stick to his day job, rather rock job! A good effort though on the instrument playing.
im a huge metallica fan and i kinda didnt like Sum 41 before i saw this and their cover of master of puppets....these guys now have my respect, great cover!
When you do a cover/tribute it's for fun or to honour one's insipiration. It should be possible to identify, but still inlcude something different than orginal. So I think that saying "Don't play unless it's played by Cliff's style" is meaningless. If the bassist is not Cliff Burton himself, he doesn't make cover better by playing it like Cliff.
Great enthusiasm and all ,but u cannot just cover for whom the bell tolls .Seeing as how it is the brainchild of Cliff Burton,it takes a special kind of bass player to do a good version of it.And this just did it in a very cookie cutter style.
And having seen their Master of puppets cover,I have to say that the vocalist isnt very good at multitasking.
@IrTubbeh i feel wat ur tryin to say but im sorry no1 can play it like cliff, i think the only one who cums close is robert trujillo (who of course is wit metallica now) and another guy here on youtube who can play pullin teeth like a pro
everyone chill out. who cares if it's not at good as metallica's or in the right key. it's called a COVER for a reason. as in it's a band playing a song they didn't write. theyre not fucking metallica, so chill. sum 41 did a good job of taking a thrash metal song and making it into their own style, which is pop punk... worlds away from thrash metal. besides there are way worse covers of metallica songs... *ahem trivium ahem*
Its real cool to see the metal and thrash influence in their writing, especially in the solos. I want to see the bad evolve even further in this direction, I believe they have the skills to do it!
Atleast they're playing it for the younger kids to hear instead of just letting em fade away. I know I would have never listened to Metallica if it wasn't for Sum 41 doing covers of em
It didn't have everything I wanted to say Why don't you do us all a favour and go crawl in a hole and suck a giant bull-cock cause god forbid you bring the world's iq down seeing as yours is the equivalent of a sidewalk.
Okay, all of you dirty little cunts who keep saying that this is "horrible" and "pathetic": go crawl back into your mothers vagina so you can cook a little longer. Sum 41 is an AMAZING band, but I know that they cannot compete with METTALICA so SHUT UP! NO ONE CAN! And Sum 41 has made some damn good songs, most of which aren't pop in any way like some cock-sucker on here said. Why don't you do us all a favour and go crawl in a hole and suck a giant bull-cock cause god forbid you bring the world
Idiots are hating this just for the fact this is Sum 41, get over it, they made a 1st shitty album so apparently people decide to label these guys bad musicians? They made freaking AMAZING 2nd and 3rd hard rock/metal albums and there new single sounds great. and this cover is great, stop worrying about the people in the band and listen to the god damn music.
My my... Myself, I love Metallica. Bought Ride the lightening when it came out, and was accused of devil worship for listening. Anyone who would even bring up the original to comment on this cover is... Well, you know what they are. These guys aren't trying to compete with Metalicca!! This is a tribute, and DAMN good cover. No one will ever do a better version of any original Metallica, that can't be done, so just listen to some real good stuff here by Sum 41, they ripped this song period.
@WrestlingGiant I know the Original is better and the cover is really good too - but some of the comments here says its a bad cover. Thats why I said they're stupid and dumb
@snkeymlietrz hey, this song is the reminder of cliff, the best bass solo ever, but still they are making a cover cause of their love of metalica, so think of it .
@chaosandres Surely he'd be pleased and ecstatic that the music that he created is still being played and loved 25 years after he died? And being played to an amazing standard.
@brillenwald Well its more of the Voice that makes it hard. Cause In alot of Metal Songs you are using a lot deeper tone and its a lot different Than Punk. But Deryck plays with Punk and Metal songs so he can sing both
People who say this fucking rocks, obviously don't know how much this song can fucking rock, when played by a badass band like metallica. This is like christmas music.
@MolesMalone Oh of course because you know, Justin Beiber just loves making covers of Metallica songs and having 2(soon to be 3) out of 4 albums that are metal. And uhhh Sum 41 are not media whore's.
@XyomDoomer Of course it's not the same. Some people just have a unique voice, James Hetfield is one of them. I'm not really into metal, but Metallica is and will always be a legendary band. Although I think we must admit that Sum 41 did one hell of a good job on this one.
