Battery Cover Metallica

[izzletalk]

may be a bit too much treble , or just add bass , it would sound greater .... BTW , is this song played in E flat ? i mean , in studio ?

[Derals1]

standar tuning?

[vazman2]

@Derals1 E flat

[Derals1]

@vazman2 thx mate!

[Treizez34]

How did you get that guitar??? I want to buy another one. I already have an old LTD model but want to get a newer one in white if possible

[vazman2]

@Treizez34 Its an ESP Edwards. Made for the Japanese market. it won't be easy getting one. I picked one up while I was in Japan a few years ago. I then had it painted. Like 3 times. Its not white anymore. Its red.

[MuscleFreak2796]

James Hetfield can downpick Battery while he is sleeping

[farox97]

jajaajaj la guitarra no hace al guitarrista

[hansojes]

intro sucks

[hellgates76]

follow the Klik



[Jotabutre]

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

sem coments

[666mickthompson]

awesome cover! but doesnt drawing on it hurt it? ive been looking for ways to customize my bass so it doesnt harm it at all but idk any that arent exspensive (im 14:/)

[vazman2]

@666mickthompson It only hurts its resale value. If you like it, do it. This guitar has been repainted though. Its in my Four Horseman vid.

[666mickthompson]

@vazman2 otayy. thanks lol. now i just gotta find a decent artist

[vazman2]

@666mickthompson I would almost say do it yourself. It makes it more original that way. Draw on it. Put stickers on it. What ever. Make it yours.

[666mickthompson]

@vazman2 haha i can try d: thanks

[DeadCell795]

great cover and i love the paint design

[MrVinny1996]

dude...that guitar is epic!!

[AMickey1111]

no es de la serie de guitarras de james hetfield uuuuuuuuu lo lamento

[pivetlord13]

Battery main riff has to be the ultimate thrash riff of all time.

[Erador]

All that katakana on there is pretty cute I suppose... ギター is a little crooked under the neck pickup.. kanji needs work though. Your 神 in 神風 is pretty smashed together. I definitely wouldn't use a marker on a guitar that nice and do such sloppy work...

[MitsuMetal]

yo, check out my lil' teaser. :D

leave a comment. if you like it, i'll post a full cover ^^

/watch?v=hjHT-Iu8bSk

[buggeroff94]

nice cover be EX-50 i pseronally like more, it also looks so much better

[queenight]

Nice cover man!

\m/

[TheIbanezGrx20]

which pedal do you use? or is that the guitar has a distortion selector like james, if that really exists xD

[vazman2]

@TheIbanezGrx20 That doesn't exist. He turns the neck volume really low so it has very little drive/gain and then switches back to his full volume bridge pickup. I'm not using any pedals. Just the distortion setting from the amp.

[TheIbanezGrx20]

@vazman2 oh ok, I mean, you just use the versatility of the guitar (Y)

[stcheeve]

@TheIbanezGrx20 James doesn't have pedals on stage.. None of them have except for the wah.. they prefer to be controlled backstage for not damaging them

[TheAnorexicSeal]

...

[CallOfDuty14ful]

Very nice cover!!!!!!Some mistakes,but it´s ok ..it´s not easy.But do you know where I can get this ESP writing on the top?Because I want to make also an EET FUK and an Iron Cross..How did you record it? because I want also do some covers but I don´t know which mic. I should buy.

Sorry for language ..I´m german xD ;)

[vazman2]

@CallOfDuty14ful Just used the web cam from laptop. Not the best recording. I drew this onto the guitar myself after getting it painted. I have since had it stripped back down to the wood.

[valdivia562]

shit i wish i had an explorer to draw on

[LilIvan362]

your playing the along with the Master of Puppets 20th Anniversary performance at Rock Am Ring 2006 right?

[vazman2]

@LilIvan362 Yep. Good ear!

[MrSonooneknows]

iPhone pickups!

[guitarplayer6262]

dude, that guitar is awesome

[AlphaKennyBody0925]

dude that guitar is fuckin SICK

[Mrmetal770]

11 people cant read japanese and dont know that it says EET FUK

[vazman2]

@Mrmetal770 It doesn't say EET FUK. 

[Mrmetal770]

@vazman2 im sure it doesnt but i had to make a clever comment -_-

[ravenshield56]

Whered you get the vinyls?

[vazman2]

@ravenshield56 Not vinyls. Dawn on by myself. But the guitar has since been painted again. 

[andresuzansuarez]

At the beggining, i say, naah dont worth it, 1:12 o.O Shit! xD

[Metallica171100]

@seloo96

It's normal you must find the japanese site ;)

[vazman2]

@seloo96 Go to the ESP Japan site you'll find them under edwards as an EX model.

[kainicol]

いいギターですね

[vazman2]

@kainicol That says something about my guitar but I'm not sure what. I don't know a lot of Hiragana and Katakana.

[Kr1ssz]

fucking nice sound man.

[stcheeve]

awesome man!!

[baracade777]

esp? gibson? epiphone? which is it?

[vazman2]

@baracade777 Its an ESP Edwards. I just had it repainted. I'll post a new vid soon.

[ferchobilbao97]

when it started, I thought the intro was terrible, then u started at 1:13 and it improved a lot, it sounded great, good effects dude :)

[vazman2]

@ferchobilbao97 Thanks. I was just kinda waiting for the intro to stop and fiddling around. The heavy stuff was what I wanted to get. And all I used was the metal setting on my amp. No other effects.

[guruvag]

bro im rly considering of buying one... tho i'd prefer getting a white one but they only have natural or black.... im not sure if theres any local shop to have the natural one painted white... if so... u think it worths it? i mean ur guitar looks like rly is white and it wasnt painted but their black one looks as if the wood itself is black or jus the paint is kinda cheap... idk :|

[vazman2]

@guruvag I had mine painted white. The black is a stained black. It's meant to be like that so you can see the wood grain. And it's not a glossy finish. It's a satin finish. The wood used is definitely a good quality cut piece of wood. Where do you live? It will cost a lot to get it painted.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 hmm this was really a good explanation... i now understand what it means when i see "satin finish" in guitars descreiption... im from greece... how much would it cost me to have it painted? (glossy finish)?

[vazman2]

@guruvag Its going to cost you around $300-$400 to get it painted.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 aha... where actually did u ask them to paint it for u? a GC or what?

[vazman2]

@guruvag First time I had my friend do it. Then I just had it done by a guy in California. Marty Bell. He has a website. Check him out. He did a great job. But if you send him the guitar make sure you pack it well in a box or hardshell case.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 so i can just buy the stained natural finish one and send it to the guy wihting a hardshell and he can make it like urs?

[vazman2]

@guruvag Kinda. Ask him first. He can make it just plain white or black. But if you want any kind of special design that will be extra. All the stuff you see on mine in this video I did my self after it was painted the first time. My guitar doesn't look like this anymore. I'll post a video in a week or so of it.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 let me know when u do it plz... i soooo wanna see it.... also i rly consider doing what ya said.... cuz if black explwhores are rare once then white ones are rare twice....

[vazman2]

@guruvag Have you subscribed to me? I thought you did. So you'll be notified when I post it. Why don't you buy a snakebyte. They are pretty cool I think. I'll be getting one.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 ye i subbed... ;) well idk bro... i like em tbh.... and i find the body rly smexy.. especially the headstock.... but we both know... the real explowhores are the ones hetgod used in the "n justice for all" era....

[vazman2]

@guruvag The original is still great. The good thing about the snakebyte is the ebony fretboard. The edwards don't have ebony. They are rosewood. I really want a white snakebyte.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 ebody is teh extremely black one?

[vazman2]

@guruvag Ebony is a really dark fretboard. It has a little more punch than rosewood. I def like it better.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 o.O u must rly think im a noob bro :P

[vazman2]

@guruvag Not at all.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 hehe :$ i'd say im an intermediate player... maybe a begginer xD but idk a shit bout guitars

[vazman2]

@guruvag Well what ever you pick I'm sure you'll like it.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 hope so bro... i was rly considering of getting an eet fuk... but i'd kill for ur guitar... even without teh stickers.... if i buy the natural one and send it to the site u said... when do i pay him? when he ships it back? or when i ship the guitar to him... idk... i mean... i would feel kinda worried sending my guitar to someone thru the internet... is he trustful?:P i dont want to send it to him and never get it back

[vazman2]

@guruvag Oh mine isn't stickers. I did that stuff myself. You pay him when he's done the work. He's not going to steal your guitar. He came highly recommended from the ESP message board. I got mine back just the other day.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 i found a handmade eet fuk with real MOP inlays for 2.2 grands... but idk bro... idk if i can afford that... althought... i put things down and the edwards is gonna cost me 1.1 grands & 400 more for the painting (+ all the effort etc).... this will go up to 1.5k... why not pay 700 more and get a COOL replica of an eet fuk

[vazman2]

@guruvag I'd be careful with "homemade" guitars. I say stick with something that actually manufactured by a company you can trust. Where were you going to buy the Edwards from? This place is a good place to buy from.

[guruvag]

@vazman2 well i was about to buy from ebay... let me check teh site u sent me... also... i saw a video and many photos of the guitar... ive seen a real eet fuk... only difference is that this one has no serial number (cuz its not actually made from a factory...) so yeah... whoever built this was a pro... i can send u screenshots if u want to check??:P

[vazman2]

@guruvag Yeah please. And the site you found it on.

[faintingdragon]

Great vid, anywhere I could get tabs of what you're playing? I learnt a slighty different intro but it sounds nearwhere near as good as what you're playing.

[Sweet4652]

How did you get a white one? I found just "stain cloudy black" and "stain nevada brown" ones on the esp edwards website. I want a black or white one.

[vazman2]

@Sweet4652 These are only available in those colour options. I had mine painted white.

[rmoodyboy]

how much is this fuckin guitar ?

[vazman2]

@rmoodyboy I paid about 98 000 YEN which was about $1000 a couple years ago. Then YEN is now more expensive. There are a couple on ebay right now for about $1200. 

[rmoodyboy]

@vazman2 Cool !

[guruvag]

@vazman2 i cant seem to find any on ebay lol

[aaronrjas]

OMFG!!!!!!

i was watching the acoustic part and i think WTF the tone of this guy sucks but i wait and BOOM what a tone man please you need to teel me your settings i have a line 6 spider IV 150 watts please i wait your answer ;)

[vazman2]

@aaronrjas I had the mids dropped the bass was around half the treble was around 3 quarters and the presence was about 2/3. No pedals or other effects. Just the metal setting from the amp. I don't use this amp anymore though. Upgraded to a Mesa Triple Rectifier.

[aaronrjas]

@vazman2 thanks man and good look with your rectifier ;)

[martynmcgilvray01]

is tht drawn with a pen ?



[vazman2]

@martynmcgilvray01 A sharpie.

[xxsladedethxx]

stupid jock, just be yourself, your not hetfield you'll never be hetfield,so just be yourself.that was some crap playing too.

[vazman2]

@xxsladedethxx Where do you get jock from? And I don't try to be Hetfield. And it looks like others think the playing was alright. Where are your videos to show me up?

[ICYguy47]

@xxsladedethxx mate, it was a good cover. i admit the start acoustic section could have been a bit better, but all in all it was a good cover and sounded awesome

[vazman2]

@ICYguy47 Oh the acoustic part I wasn't really "playing" just messing around. I can if you want. I'll do the song again and not a live version.

[MyNevermindme]

nice cover m8! i like ur guitar. where did you bought it? and what amp do you used here, and what one do you use now?

[vazman2]

@MyNevermindme Thanks. I bought in Japan a couple years ago. It's an ESP Edwards EX-125E. I had it painted and did the graphics myself.

[TheJudasDevil]

es mucha guitarra para tan poco guitarrista encuentro yo

[vazman2]

@TheJudasDevil I can't speak spanish

[swordlesslol]

hOLY SHT fucking nice

[vazman2]

@swordlesslol Thanks!!

[dyerskyle]

Man I love your sound how do you get it its really accurate? Pedals settings etc

[vazman2]

@dyerskyle I actually don't use that amp anymore. I have a new one.

[dyerskyle]

@vazman2 Yeah but what are your settings?

[vazman2]

@dyerskyle I had the mids dropped the bass was around half the treble was around 3 quarters and the presence was about 2/3. No pedals or other effects. Just the metal setting from the amp.

[yasanceko]

Awesome cover. Where can u buy Edwards guitars? I live in Australia.

[vazman2]

@yasanceko They pop up on ebay every once in a while. Talk to Katana guitars. They have an ebay store and they may be able to order one. Roughly about 900 bucks. And thanks!

[vazman2]

@yasanceko I got mine while I was in japan bought they do pop up on ebay from time to time. Check katana guitars. They may be able to order one for you. They're in japan. And thr edwards guitars are generally great but the explorer aren't their best. You may want to consider hetfields new snakebyte. Its the closest thing to it but will prob be better quality. And thanks!

[RbAuMs1]

i love how at 1:16 Its gets really hard and good

[snowmenhunter]

hey m8 ! amazing cover, and guitar !! where did you get decals???

[vazman2]

@snowmenhunter Thanks! I actually did it all myself with a non-washable sharpie. Came out pretty good.

[arvind1363]

GrEaTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TT Playing

[vazman2]

@arvind1363 Thanks!

[TheMirrorblaze]

:)

[Meticullamaster]

[vazman2]

@Meticullamaster I'm in E flat tuning and that is a Gotoh Tune-o-matic.
