Alex Skolnick Trio - Fade To Black (Metallica cover)

[gabrielwareing]

Drums are too much, but apart from that it's a pretty nice arrangement. If only the drummer wasn't so busy.

[JYZProductions]

someone needs to put the tab up for the beginning guitar world is too lazy for not including it assuming everyone knows the theory... but that being said an awesome rendition , im big on Jazz but I sort of like this, a bit long but big deal the original was.

[iamheadbanger]

always considered him one of the finest metal players, and now I see how god he is even more. far too many bad players in metal, but alex is truly a master. I enjoyed the album very much.

Alex Skolnick Trio will be appearing Live at Best Buy Oxford Valley in Fairless Hills, Pa....right outside of Philly, Monday December 5th at 3pm for a free performance and meet and greet

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@flieg01 They're playing at an electronics store?

[CoolKwstas123]

fuck the original

[costyna2010]

maaaaaaaaaaarfaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!­!!!!!!!!!

[Videostar1another1fa]

Looks like there are much less dicks here than what you usually find on Metal related videos,no one yet has mentioned how this sucks,or how Alex totally rapes Kirk at guitar,or how Metallica are sellouts and only made 4 good albums.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@Videostar1another1fa That was awesome man...

[emersuleme2]

five people are Dave Munstaine

[onbcro]

Alex 1000 thumbs up!!!!!!!!!

[Easleytee]

If you enjoyed Skolnick here...go ahead and check out Ben Monder.

Far more advanced and harmonically provocative.

[0rion2309]

@Easleytee Harmonicaly provocative, does this mean he plays all the notes he shouldn't play? Like playing in C and only playing sharps without a single natural.

[Sk8Nature]

daammmm

I Fucking love it

[E1666000]

this is how the elevator music should sound

[diego27125]

eres mi idolo alex sele quiere en colombia

[seblar9315]

This sound spanish =)

[1MCNUTT]

This does every bit of justice to the original and then some.

[JJBLUES1975]

@1MCNUTT its way better cause a real muscian is playing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10mesiek]

...really do not understand what exciting is in this version Fade to Black. I like Alex's music with Testament but his solo's career is a little bit ridiculous...They do not play JAZZ but something next to. I know that Metallica is really happy that Alex play their songs as classics.

[fruitywheelz]

@10mesiek it's a classy interpretation of a classic song! Obviously its not completely jazz, but the Trio's take on the song is really fresh and different, which is what makes it awesome.

[pillsareyummy]

@10mesiek If by ridiculous you mean't that he creates his own path in music, then yes, he's 'ridiculous'. Further more, this is a Jazz interpretation of the song. This album has received great reviews from many Jazz sites and even radio stations like Jazz 91,1 FM. Alex should be applauded for not only branching out into other areas of music, but by also bringing Metal music into the musical landscape of Jazz (Which is only fair, since Metal has borrowed quite a lot from it).

[Drakggor]

This cover sounds too happy, and it takes the original vibe away. In the other hand, for been a Jazz interpretation; it kicks ass. Check Alex playing with Rodrigo y Gabriela in their song "Hanuman." Now, that song is a classic. Long live metal, and their infinite branches.

[MrChuchiss]

WOW this does make jazz sound even better. this is really creative stuff

[Harrysound]

I don't really like it to be honest. The live version on the b side of where ever I may roam is my favorite song ever

[willrichtor]

@Harrysound OH! I wore that single out! Live from Moscow, Monsters of Rock, the crowd was insane. Best recording of Metallica I ever heard.

[MrIKTPQ4life]

Almost as cool as the silver streak in his hair.

[UltimateDud]

wow, I love chord progression that starts around 1:30

[Dennis6744]

Don't like this at all.

[HEADBANGBALLER]

@Dennis6744 May I ask why?

[Zorlak108]

this is actually brilliant!

[HurricaneTBag]

This was a pretty sick arrangement.

[ChocolateTundra]

The way they snuck One in there was pretty beast

[BDDominick75]

@Krow83 If you read my original comment I said not bad at all. Still don't care to hear it enough to purchase the cd. Interesting the first time, but forgettable in the long run for me.

[Starost07]

Alex is a God!

[Jtmoney363636]

Beautiful..... That was simply beautiful. Alex Skolnick is a god.

[graceteam]

@Jtmoney363636 LOL!



[BDDominick75]

Glad I listened tot his before I purchased it. Not bad at all but nothing I care to hear again. Alex is too good not to release original material.

[Krow83]

@BDDominick75

This is supposed to be a jazz band; and they did pretty good.

[0scaru]

real badass

[ultimatepaper]

I love how they include that riff from "One" towards the end.

[AHTSvideo]

@ultimatepaper you mean how One includes the riff from Fade to Black?

[npd23]

@AHTSvideo no you tit! this is fade to black and they slip "one" into this song, dont try n be a smart arse n say the other song came first! we dont care stop trollin!

[AHTSvideo]

@npd23 so I made a comment before I watched the whole thing.. oh no, it's the end of the world. No, I'm human, you see, we make these things called mistakes. But seeing as you lost your cool at this little misunderstanding, you must be perfect, and never make mistakes.

[npd23]

@AHTSvideo the only thing that makes me lose my cool on youtube is smart arses trying to be clever little know-it-alls, if you`ve nothing positive to say why bother, im far from perfect but then i dont claim to be nor do i spend my life trolling like some of us......

[makarov0822]

I love it! thanks you for posting!

and please post more songs especially "Song of the open road"!!
