Metallica - The Thing That Should Not Be

[mirkata95]

I don't know why this reminds me of Saw movies

[jesses469]

Great job.

[BloodZion727]

holy kick ass

[semke11]

best song of the album. one of the few that actually sounds better with orchestra.

[usernamelee]

this was awsome!

[romica1969]

Lovecraftian debates always make me smile.  Good work!

[ZirConeXPlayZ]

As said previously , this song isnt about no fucking aliens.. Its about Cthulhu , the head priest of the great older ones lol :PPPPPPP

[hyena419]

3 genius for this video

THE PEOPLE WHO THOUGHT S&M

THE GUY WHO MADE THIS VIDEO

METALLICA

[CthulusaurusRex]

This shit is weak. This song is about Cthulu. Not the aliens from War of the Worlds.

[agravatedgorilla]

@CthulusaurusRex how does it reference those things at all?

[CthulusaurusRex]

@agravatedgorilla How does it reference Cthulu? What else comes to mind when you think of a Great Old One that lives in sunken ruins beneath the sea and is summoned by a cult? Also, come on, "Not dead which eternal lie, Stranger eons death may die"? If any uncertainty exists about the subject of this song, that line clears it up. As to how it incorrectly references the aliens from War of the Worlds, well, see video.

[agravatedgorilla]

@CthulusaurusRex i know about cthulu in this song, i mean yea he touched a few kids, but c'mon he's an old one!

[xXFranzensteinXx]

@CthulusaurusRex Actually you're all incorrect. This song is referencing Nyathorlatep, a Great Old One in the Cthulhu mythos. He is referred to as the "Crawling Chaos", the "Hunter of the Shadows", and most importantly "The Thing that Should Not be". He is an ink like entity, that roams beneath the ruins of Egypt, in a deep slumber. Unlike the other Great Old Ones, he wasn't trapped to a certain realm, and was free to roam the Earth for his own evil needs.... So... I WIN!

[AceofRAD]

@xXFranzensteinXx While Nyarlathotep is indeed mentioned in this beast of a song(Crawling Chaos underground) , Cthulhu is still a great deal apart of it as well. for starters Nyarlathotep is not a Great Old One, unlike Cthulhu. so with that knowledge what other Great Old One do you know that dwells under the ocean in a "forbidden site"(r'lyeh)? oh and yeah the "Not dead" parts also kinda a giveaway.

[alessandro120679]

The video simply doesn't fit. Why aliens? Why not tomatoes?

The symphonic version is simply ridicolous!!

Horrible.

[Mortamer1]

@alessandro120679 You're talking about something which fit in when you're talking about a Lovecraft inspired song, "rire" x)...

[NahuelRivero]

I'a I'a Cthulhu FH'TAGN

[paxecokun]

4 desorientados



[ThunderThornton19]

[twilight1011011011]

[quintinnielsen]

c'thullhu fhtagn

[Sabu71495]

Very nice!

[1MochiMochi1]

David Peterson created such a great music... oh, wait...

[904austin]

David Peterson you're a genius.

[HardcoreCal]

Wow... Just wow

[Rudolfusftw]

I'd so totally make a Justin Bieber joke if I weren't so busy being astonished by the pure epicness.

[Tinafigureskating]

There are musics which only deserve one word: MASTERPIECE!

[Keraunakias]

So in 3:53 The Thing That Should Not Be is...Tom Cruise? :P



[luc00leh]

Metallica and Pantera in my Heart forever!

[ntv73]

i gots the chills from this

[napalmcoffee]

makes want to find one those bug eyed , anal probing androgynous gray skin freaks and get all Cromagnom on their hide....paleolithic style

[Lipen666]

Cthulhu waits dreaming

[MrMetallica124]

Nice War of the Worlds.

[Vxitha]

The S&M's The Thing That Should Not Be is the best from this album, Michael Kamen R.I.P. Great composer.. great..

[Rockinwrestler619]

Although i think that this ai'nt the real music video its still pretty BEAST!!!!!

[spleenb]

Really awesome dude, thanks!

[RandyVanHalen1]

THIS IS FUCKIN SICK

[ThatKrookedVulture]

HOLY SHIT NICE FUCKING JOB MAN!!!!!!

[fleck8812]

Igen...ettol a daltol a hideg raz ki, amiota ez a valtozat egyszer almomban alapzene volt a remalmomhoz,amiben egy szellem akart atjonni egy ajton,persze en meg fostam,mint allat.XD reg volt,de soha nem felejtem

[m0skit0zindahouse]

Nice idea and mixing, but the parts when Metallica is playing are 90% completely wrong, except when James sings. Maybe other people don't notice, but musicians do.

[extremband2000]

isn't this video from the movie cloverfield?

[kidder83]

@extremband2000 No, War of the Worlds (2005)

[Darthification]

@kidder83 @extremband2000 there are also parts of "Cloverfield". Notice right after he says "face the thing that should not be".

[dtectorx1]

I loved it how James sang "Drain you of your sanity, Face the Thing That Should Not Be" O_O and the solo was INTENSE

[2012Romney]

This is what Ive been looking for for so long! Amazing video, exactly what I was looking for!

[metaliicamember]

[JokeComics4001]

Another awesome vid man, the fim version of W.O.T.W. did seriously suck though; you made it better though! 5/5!
