[DimebagD16]

Hi i fell like a troll here but could yas check out my cover and tell me wat yas think please?

[ThomasDemko]

This cover fits in a fucking video game! AWESOME!11!!eleven!1111

[ScorpionDeadValley]

thumbs up if you sang the song

[mobgripone]

Awesome job man.

[Zole4494]

mh. I'm not sure if I totally hate this or if it's okay. crappy sound, some riffs definitely failed and the solo isn't played very well. even the tapping sounds sloppy. sorry, but no like from me, quite bad for 2 years of playing. I'm not able to play the whole solo because on concentrating on other techniques and blues, but the whole rhythm part I can do better I guess .. hope you got better til now, rock on!

[AlphaKennyBody0925]

i thought i could ride the lightning... until i heard this and my ears came on themselves and my head almost blew up in front of my computer from headbangin ....

[wowspare]

"Pedal: Boss GT.10"

Well that explains the shitty tone......

[SstalkerS]

DUDE- you gotta use your pinky in the runs, it's darn important!!

[FrancescoParasassi]

good cover , but i don't like the sound of your guitar :/ , anyway god job :D

[Metallicgnacio]

That certainly ain't studio quality sound

[14pandapimp]

Dude epic job, especially the solo, keep rockin bro =)

[Legetus]

dude, screw what other people, i love the sound of the recording :)

[nightruler666]

@delcohund01 the thing that should not be has an easy solo

[konieczkolo]

thys is no difficult for me :)

but I do not have an electric guitar

[CENASUCK32]

sound like shit, but good playing man (;

[iroonmaaiden]

@delcohund01 hehe, thanks;P The best tip I can give is too try learning solos that you like and do it slowly many times. If you really struggle with something try it as best as you can and than take a break and come back to it later. Try the slow ones to James Hetfield if u dont wanna try the fast ones;)

[iroonmaaiden]

@delcohund01 Metallica solos are the easiest ones for me, theyre not technical difficult. If you just learn the basic solo techniques then metallica solos would be a good idea to try out. I cant pick out one specific solo, since I havent been playing Metallica for two years now xD But just find one you like and learn it bit by bit.

[iroonmaaiden]

@delcohund01 Its not a beginner solo. I learned it like that in 2 years of playing I think.

[VADERz25]

this is great dude

[kmj950503]

sounds like 8 bit songs :D

[alexlerouge]

badass sound

[iamstar12]

Damn that was amazing great job :)

[angelckk1]

it just reminds me of it dont go saying bull crap here and there ==''

[angelckk1]

Sephiroth ^^

[guitarmaster509]

Spider Chord.

[outlawletloose]

hey yall should come check out some of my metallica solos! comments would be great!

[Metalliboy4eva]

INtro sounds like shit

[TheBrilliantSunchips]

Dont forget the pinky! The thing works wonders.

[madicide1]

you wer a little out of time in the solo but otherwise it was good :)

[thrashinallaround356]

If you like this cover then check out mine!

[syukuyin]

nice work dude

[CosmiTax]

how long did it take you to learn guitar, like from starting out to the point where you could play this. I am really interested in playing guitar and just wondering.

[iroonmaaiden]

@CosmiTax At this point when I put out this video I had been playing for 2 years and 8 months. It depends how much you practice everyday, if you practice 3hours a day you should get to this point in 2years I believe.

[CosmiTax]

@iroonmaaiden thanks man, great job btw. i hope to play like this in a few years.

[DemiGod00023]

CAn you send me the tab link? casue i like the way you played it.

[JoshGoldie]

it sounds to digital, but good job :)

[JoshGoldie]

it sounds to digital

[iyourmaster]

Yeah!You are metal,and i certify that this ibanez very fuckin good.I have too

[tbillings20]

The Best cover of that song I've seen. Fantastic job! You played it with your own style. Nice!

[godofalex3600]

15 pepole cant ride the lightning

[ohgoditsjames94]

Lol did someone seriously say that there isn't spider chords in this song? Rofl Ride the lightning was the first song to have spider chords because Dave wrote that section and ONLY that section, he did not write anything else in this song.

[Ckhris28]

I hate this sound.

[KreiZedbanger]

@Ckhris28 Don't listen then... lol

[UnpopularPoppy]

You're a bitch for reading sheet music

[Velocigay]

This was posted on my b-day :D

[jaom912]

tetris intro

[Rawm3r]

YOU. ARE. FUCKING. AWESOME! What kind of settings did u have on your amp for this? That sounded legit.

[MrAwsomenes1337]

is that guitar a IBANEZ RG370DXBK if it do u recomend it??

[iroonmaaiden]

@MrAwsomenes1337 Yes, its a good guitar for people that wants their first el guitar. I almost never use it anymore though.

[McGerglemonkey]

Hey, honestly, I liked your sound. It's similar to the guitar in the actual track and, in my opinion, sounds pretty dang good. And your playing was flawless. Well done my friend! 10/10!

[lewiscrisp01]

Use your pinky more boyyyy. Was good though :D

[paranoid1072]

YEAH Dave Mustaine, kick ass riff

[MrDohmah]

slow tapping D:

[A7X262574]

its cool 5/5 but can you do the spider chord? its easy i can do it and im not so good on guitar so i think you could how to do it

[iroonmaaiden]

@A7X262574 I know the spider chord now but I never use it, I didnt know it back then when I made this video.

[DadoISTVAS]

@A7X262574 there aren't spider chord in this song

[cccp20062]

@DadoISTVAS There are actually.

[DadoISTVAS]

@cccp20062 no, on the CD there aren't dude.... the spider chord are in "Wake Up Dead" by Megadeth... wich is the same riff of ride the lightning, but with the spider chord :) i'm 100% sure

[cccp20062]

@DadoISTVAS Well considering that Dave Mustaine wrote that riff, I think it's safe to say that there ARE spider chords. At least on the studio version, live the seem to just play a palm muted note on the low E only.

Mustaine even says himself. /watch?v=t-twpY_XQyg

[DadoISTVAS]

@cccp20062 i know that Dave Mustain wrote that riff, but there aren't spider chords on the final studio version, listen carefully

[nikolacar07]

put some emg's instead, for example 81/85 and behold the miracle... trust me, i did it

[angelfr83220]

Terrible sound, not studio quality at all.

[2dth94]

Very well done but can you tell if you use alternate picking through the whole second solo section? Or are you using hammer on and pull offs, cause I've got so many tabs and they are all different :D

[iroonmaaiden]

@2dth94 Thanks. I cant really remember sorry, its been at least a year since I played this song. Just play it the way you feel most comfortably with.

[sickness1231]

great cover man im trying to learn this song it is fun learning it keep doing covers XD

[zodiacxkiller]

Don't mind about the sound being weird in the intro. NOBODY can get the intro right.

[ex966]

nicely done! :)

[LeonoSalomo]

nice play bad 4 the sound

[concolox]

Sounds like a freaking harpsichord. It reminded of an old Atari game...I give you...% stars for nostalgia. (Where did the studio quality thing come from anyway?)

[concolox]

Sounds like a freaking harpsichord.

[0maZter0]

Nice man!!

[teezer123]

good cover but the start sounded like i was turning on an old sega game gear hahaha

[lashwip123]

well done, fantastic effort

[guitarherogenius13]

Sorry about the comment. Just curious. Keep on rockin

[guitarherogenius13]

Awesome play. Think you can do Nightmare?

[iroonmaaiden]

@guitarherogenius13 Thanks:P I dont do requests unless I really want to!

[intensivefire]

I kind of like the distortion actually, it's gives you the same song but with a different feel.

[Dime6String]

Awesome cover! Yeah it sounded a bit tinny but still sounded pretty damn good to me!! This song makes a killer instrumental!! Great cover man!!

[cacarral]

Nice... Very nice. I can't understand why people don't like the distortion in the vid.

[MrDeaD39]

and btw. really nice playing, ^^ Keep it metal \m/

[MrDeaD39]

is that overstortion ;d?

[ColmebagDarrell]

is the guitar world next to you? XD

awesome cover! , i love homemade recordings! check out my other ones in my channel!

5/5 to your vid!, dont pay attention to this fuckers that dont like your distortion and stuff, they dont know what the hell and how much hard is record a song in room!

[iroonmaaiden]

@ColmebagDarrell haha. Thanks for understanding. Ye it takes some time to record a song like this cause its a lot of guitars and so on. I`ll check out your channel;)

[FadeToBlack181]

great playing but the guitar sounds awful, the disortion has no punch to it and I think you also have some sort of flanger effect active witch really doesn't suit the song

[daeqLe]

distortion is very digital.. 

[sk8jon2]

perfect but put less treble

[VanDam08]

Can I have this?

Totally use this as my intro music once I get my wrestlers license

[YShattered]

Awesome Bro... ~METAL~

[Chomej]

F*cking badass my friend

[wolfman109h]

best cover !!!!!!!!!

is this ez drummer sampler from the net, or did you write this alone???

[iroonmaaiden]

@wolfman109h I cant really remember, bute Im pretty sure I exported the drums from a guitar pro file..and maybe I fixed them a little.

[sgtwylde1996]

great cover but i would suggest a little more bass from the amp to me it just makes it sound cooler

[ondetseb]

Great!!! Very good cover!!

[Ziemniax]

genius :)

[dimebag151]

good cover but a bit more bass would do good. it would sound a lot more Metallica then. but good job mate.

[InnkeeperX]

@dimebag151

...unless you're listening to ...And Justice For All

[Quebekersband]

Awesome! Freaking good Job. But the disto sound a little 8-bit Nitendo

[prodigy179]

Its good but its missing the bass. Thats why it sounds so weird.

[klanang1]

@prodigy179 its cover...dont expect perfection...its very good to me....

[Njaa95]

Dritbra sound du har der :D

[Njaa95]

Dritbra sound du har der :D

[angelfr83220]

[stratopive]

[Emogasmic66]

excellent, nice work

[1234metman]

Did you use a book for the tab or the internet?

[iroonmaaiden]

@1234metman I used the book.

[DarkWerewolf117]

my only suggestion is spider chord...

[ewmehmo]

@DarkWerewolf117

what is spider chord?

[DANNYROCK97]

@ewmehmo Its a chord Dave Mustain made up for this song when he was in Metallica

[xXSCREEMOORDEATHXx]

Lol u played it like 85% right for playing it ur way^^

[Federicometallica]

[iantsang1030]

[rockandhades89]

the solo is good very nice

[rockandhades89]

very good

[rockandhades89]

very good

[skateflips410]

I don't like your guitar tine that much. It's way to saturated and needs more mid range. But none-the-less, great cover. :)

[Sheldon1337]

Amazing dude 5 stars (Y)

[Micekfull]

How often do you play and how long?

[iroonmaaiden]

I play everyday, it depends from 1 hour to 5 hours a day.

[parabnormal]

Very good 5/5, i just have one question, what was your amp set to whilst you were doing this?

thanks.

[iroonmaaiden]

I was just using my Boss GT 10 and connected it to my JamVox, Didnt use Amp.

[julioskz31]

hey check mine , jeje

[julioskz31]

hey my frieng you play very good but it something in the sound that sounds very rare , and that you you have to practice the solo a bit but its ok , all a say is becouse i think you are very good ,

[XanderGomez81]

wow dude badass how long did it take to learn

[iroonmaaiden]

Sorry but Im not sure, but at this point I`d been playing for 2 years and 8 months.

[samuelhammett]

some parts are wrong but the soud is awesome

[samuelhammett]

mas o menos krnal hay cosas tecniks en las q te ekivoks

[iroonmaaiden]

whats wrong then?

[nikhbit7]

i think u messed up somewat during the start of the actual solo after the tapping ends..else it was good

[TarbleSauce]

@nikhbit7 You think he messed up? What did he mess up then? I wouldn't even comment unless I was certain that he messed up.

[FuzzyOctaves]

wtf it sounds like mario

[givuhcky22]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[XXXsecretmanXXX]

i have a boss me70, what are your settings in the harmoniser??

[iroonmaaiden]

I dont use a harmoniser.

[Dnnis100789]

Nicely done man, I enjoyed that vid

[anthopet]

[InnkeeperX]

@anthopet

[MetalInstrumentals]

@anthopet yeah he needs a cab

[mikalmaiden]

wow dude that was awesome! keep up the good work!

[consultorlegaldf]

You're a great musician. Pro, sharp, one of the best i've ever seen. I thought: He's Hetfield!!

[iroonmaaiden]

Thank you very much man:P

[Luurankoesa]

you nailed that dead on!!

Gotta love the drums aswell..

5/5!

[iroonmaaiden]

Thank you very much!

[Vash101235]

it was great it just that you didn't play the spider chords at all and the part sounded wrong. other than that you were great

[iroonmaaiden]

WTF is the spider chords?

[asdfghjykl]

dude, spider chords are chords invented by dave mustaine when he was in metallica

but if u know wat they r, and ur asking were they r in the song, then i think that guy is talking shit, because they wudnt play those spider chords live, if dave wrote it

[krollaostmedburger]

Invented MY ASS. I'm PRETTY sure someone played it long before him

[dekkuhr]

perfect,

Every note on the right please with the time, the sound can be more close the the real stuff, but it's your style and it fucking rocks! What do do you use to take it on like a studio version, i mean the direct put in.

[iroonmaaiden]

Thanks man!

I recorded with JamVox, and the sofware I used was cubase SX3.

[EldubeG25]

Flash before my eyes,

Now it's time to die!

Burning in my brain,

I can feel the pain!

'was awesome dude \m/

[williamtrevormcneil]

@EldubeG25 i can feel the flame*

[edwoas]

the best cover ive seen on this song

[Maxjkd]

Well done! Where I can download that backing track that have you done with the EZDrummer?

[MikeyGee001]

Very nice cover job. Tone is a little Fizzy for my ears, but hey ... to each his own.

I do love my GT ... no doubt. I have a vid which gives a nice taste of some tone I pull out of mine.

[iroonmaaiden]

Thanks, and I love my GT too!

And I have actually downloaded some of your patches from your site.

[BMXTYLERLACASSE]
