AVGN Theme Thrash Metal Version

[bakedspade]

This is one of the best covers ever.

[deadkennedys213]

Metallica can suck my ass there are way better bands and trust me dri is better

[TheSkullvayne]

More like Megadeth than anything...



[macrons593]

2:44 best part

[Sweetchinmusic666]

epic. just epic.

[HARClX]

best cover! i love the lyrics. do you have it written down somewhere online?

[DoodleMongoLP]

"Where did you learn to be an Asshole?!?" - James Rolfe

[emhass]

Love it, but it needs more skank beats, and the drums would better if they sounded more real. That would be much more thrash

[Deathfromabove5]

My god is this fucking awesome!!!

[995Soldier]

It's awesom! But one thing, i don't like the style of voice. Music is great but voical is not

[pryletoncyo]

@995Soldier Vocals are often the difficult part of metal in general. A lot of good metal bands have vocalists that don't sound that great to most people. I think the vocals are ok, they're nothing great, but sort of 80s angry thrash metal style, that fits well with the arrangement. I think this version hits the bullseye with us old angry video game nerds who grew up in the 80s listening to Metallica.

[Chrinik]

@995Soldier That´s Trash Metal for you...It´s like that.

[acdcgame]

I was an Angry Video Game Nerd once, then I got an arrow in my knee.

[masterofre51v2]

@acdcgame never gets old

[BkkCheesepie]

@acdcgame til i took an arrow to the knee....

[Sorrowisyourdemon]

@BkkCheesepie It's actually "Took an arrow IN the knee" not "TO the knee." Regardless, it's a really stupid, unfunny, and forced meme.

[RectalDiscourse]

@Sorrowisyourdemon

every party needs a pooper that's why we invited you party pooooper party pooooooperrrr

[cabooses1fan]

@MAIDENCASTLEVANIAN a dislike joke? how original you fucking clown

[ZombieRat8bit]

This is one of the best thrash-songs ever made, I am not kidding. For me this is just as good as my favourite slayer songs or even the ride the lightning album. And i like that a lot.

the only bad thing: Its just one song! I WANT MORE!

[MarkArandjus]

This is a metal version! Ever notice how most metal versions are instrumentals with just high-pitched leads, but no low griddy rhythm guitars?

[browncoat697]

@MarkArandjus Yeah, there tends to be a generic gallop rhythm for a few phrases, then the lead comes in with the melody and the rhythm guitar completely goes away. This has gritty (that's how you spell it for future reference, my friend ;D) low guitar, and those awesome strained vocals.

[HeavyMentel64]

Where did you learn to fly?

[rocklobster900]

@HeavyMentel64 where u learn to be an ASS_HOLE!!

[HigherGamingChanne1]

0:40 that riff is directly taken from Pain for Pleasure by Sum 41 which was like a Judas Priest-esque hair-band alternate personality which was kind of what Metallica was. So nobody is wrong here, except for whoever doesn't think this is AWESOME.

[syahmi7899]

ATARI,AMIGA,CD-I,COLECOVISION,­INTELLIVISION,SEGA,NEO GEO,TURBO GRAFX 16,ODESSEY,3DO,COMMODORE,NINTE­NDO NERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDD­DDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PSspecialist]

@syahmi7899 You forgot the best one (Playstation)

[syahmi7899]

@PSspecialist I follow the lyrics as the AVGN Theme Song!

[PSspecialist]

@syahmi7899 Ι know! I think he said Playstation in that song.

[Esatzu]

@PSspecialist That crap deserves no nomination ps sucks so hard lol

[PSspecialist]

@Esatzu Proof that you never actually had a PS.

[Esatzu]

@PSspecialist Well actually i have ps1 and ps2 but never actually liked them... the controller suck. bought xbox and never looked back. did not buy ps3 cuz the crap controller

[PSspecialist]

@Esatzu Oh I get it. Fanboy. I pass.

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

riffs and solos are great but ditch the shitty screaming kid and get a real metal vocalist

[RonyClay]

I was expecting Dave Mustaine to start singing.

[CanadaEh1969]

where did you learn to fly?

[Tactomanify]

Fucking solos are brutal! i love this cover

[robertaxel16]

Sounds like testament xD

[MetalInstrumentals]

this fucking kicks ass but...

battery anyone???

[Gyrosquatch]

Fucking kick ass! Time to go play it

[thrasherpunk28]

THE RIFFS ON THIS TRACK ARE THE FUCKIN SHIT TABS ANYONE

[KKdav]

The solo is awesome

[chaoslight11]

32 people are Irate Gamer Fans.

[TheArtificiallyMade]

Very nice, killer intro and sweet rifts. Though the screaming the only thing I have a problem with in metal lol.

[jordanv78]

Let's fuck some shit uppppp!!!!!!

[glitchemario]

enter nerdman! lol

[thrasherpunk28]

tabs please

[PunchSydeironReviews]

Hey, Death Kitty, sick 'im! [Death Kitty charges toward Atari Jaguar cube.]

[GGORRO]

@PunchSydeironReviews yeah! thats the real jaguar! *Meow*

[ViperVenom128]

Megadeth should totally cover this

[arxidi666]

U all metallica fans should please shut the fuck up cause it's nothing like metallica!

[Hartnell666]

@arxidi666 it is like metallica a bit

[arxidi666]

@Hartnell666 You guys see Thrash Metal and u automatically assume that the song is like metallica... Please notice that there are much more better songs than metallicas music!

[Hartnell666]

@arxidi666 i know that i prefer melodic death metal to metallica, but it still does sound like metallica

[arxidi666]

@Hartnell666 It's Sodom dude not Metallica!

[Hartnell666]

@arxidi666 ahh well, everyone to their own

[HitmanJenkins1]

@arxidi666 The intro is very Metallica like, the rest is definitely more along the lines of Sodom or Kreator

[glitchedgamer]

@HitmanJenkins1 That's what I was thinking. Definitely more Teutonic than Bay Area.

[GGORRO]

slayer in the related videos...i love this cover so mutch.i remember first listening to it 3 years ago

[Pacman0091]

This was used in the Atari Jaguar episode i think

[HitmanJenkins1]

Possinly the greatestcover of the song so far!

[jimmy56100]

This is fucking cool.

[quocdarock]

sounds like exodus with the either dude from kreator or sodom singing.

yeah it sounds nothing like old metallica or megadeth. not even slayer or anthrax.

[retronintendo8]

That was freaking awzome

[bucheye25]

@ebonfortress: concur on all, vocals have elements of Dave Mustaine from Megadeath as well (no, I didn't want to lump them in with acts as great as Slayer and [old] Metallics, but I had to call it as I heard it.

[slimshady0297]

Better than the original.

[HordeDkRaider4Life]

Tabs, this is epic



[KrusadaChar]

time to crack out the mp3 downloader

[MetalInstrumentals]

@KrusadaChar you can download the mp3 with better quality on his site

[7xmetalcullen95]

kill 'em all!

[Strider77x]

I love this song, and your album!! you guys are so awesome!!!!

[selbi182]

The intro reminded so hard on Fade to Black. And while the rest of the song sounds pretty similar to Metallica, the voice doesn't sound like James' at all (which isn't a bad thing though).

[WhatTheyDontTeachYou]

@selbi182 james doesnt even sing...

[selbi182]

@WhatTheyDontTeachYou I was talking about James Hetfield, the singer of Metallica, not James Rolfe. Yeah I should've said that, sorry.

[Isaachisama]

AMMN :Angry Metalica Music Nerd!!!! HE REVIEWS METALICA SONGS XD

[ebonfortress]

And to all you stupid fucks who never owned a Walkman:

intro - Metallica

vocals - Slayer

music - black metal (check the blaster beat), Emperor or whatever

[ebonfortress]

AVGN meets Blackened meets Slayer vocals. That's just fuckin awesome.

[ARTICWARFARE2200]

Sorry for this dumb sounding question, but what would you call a slow intro to a rather fast metal song like this one?

[SPARTA4309]

@ARTICWARFARE2200 idk but most thrash metal songs are like this

[gregorsaurus]

@ARTICWARFARE2200 Damage Inc, Metallica

[TearsOfIce666]

wasn't dis version on de atari jaguar episode?

[Ninja5000x]

@TearsOfIce666 yeah but not the full version

[toalazlo6]

@TearsOfIce666 yes

[NANDOTABAJARA]

@TearsOfIce666 yes

[berserkur19]

The Angry Slayer Nerd

[Waine999]

This shows my noisy neighbors who can make more noise.

[FedorCroCop44]

dont make a rap version

[beLIEverNoOne]

the beginning sounds like Fade To Black

[brandonprows]

@beLIEverNoOne

Sort of... except the chords are completely different. But I see where you're coming from.

[bananasqueek]

i want to download this! any price!

[AndrewRoks2008]

\m/^FT^\m/

[warwick2155]

This is so awesome!

[gertie83]

this is real metal!

[TheTechnoSauce]

This sound like a Mix of Metallica (Soft to Heavy style) and Iron Maiden (Solo).

[cuzigottatruck]

avgn hits a quad by saying "fuck"

[Gloin1994]

Nerdallica!

[TearsOfIce666]

@Gloin1994 Hell yeah!

[87904rules]

Perfect.

[jinrex015]

heard from jaguar review it was awesome when avgn shoots a sub machine gun

[RealGateGuardian]

Dude if your songs are bad ass like this, you'll have a subscriber for LYFE... Life... sorry.

[qbalaqss]

You remind me a lot of Metallica. I love Metallica. You rock, dude.

[Cqub3]

Congrats!! this song was on AVGN Jaguar part 2 review :DD

\m/

[KisukeAizen]

I love how you added your own creativity to the lyrics on top of some bad assness with metal. Also really like the very mellow start which is a really interesting contrast for the rest of the song. I initally thought this was something the AVGN added in his review for the JAG but was mistaken. Rock on brother \m/

[kickdababy25362]

i swear it sounds a little like metallica

[jujkuj123]

Yea that riff kind of rips off Judas Priest's song Electric eye.

[PumbellTV]

ASS!

[narrat0r12]

He should have played this in Ep100 when he kicked ROB's ass.

[quiksilverryan]

ohhhh i love this.

[BLACKSTREETART]

Every one how disliked the video is either death or christian

[GuitarPadawan92]

@BLACKSTREETART actually, not really, im christian and i love this kind of music. not trying to be a dick, just sayin bro'

[doomfan12345]

THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE, TO TAKE HIS REVENGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jiterdomer]

COWA FAWKIN!!! PIEZE OF DAWG SHEEET!!!!!!

[Masterkiller9000]

*banging head*

[DrScheusal]

best version ever

[KerryFTW]

If metallica had a cover of this song....this is it....

In the intro I hear a combo of "Fight fire with fire" and "Battery"

[super58173]

Christ, now 30 people would rather eat the rotten asshole of a roadkill skunk,

and down it with diarrhea.

Now THAT'S an acquired taste.

[Catdu002]

Cette version TUE!! :D

This version KICKS ASS!! =D

D'ailleurs, je crois que l'AVGN l'utilise dans son test de jeux Jaguar, non?

Besides, doesn't the AVGN use it on the review of Jaguar games?

[Splash2NL]

YEAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

[AncientGamer1]

I'M THE 666TH COMMENT!

[KennyWolf360]

You could've picked a better picture of James in his outfit xD

[chronicfilms101]

30 people would rather eat the rotten asshole of a road kill skunk

[dsmanmanman]

Super Mecha Death Christ: FUCKEEEEEEEEERS!!!



[pr0npwn3rer]

FUCKYEHAHHAHAHH !!!! Awesome cover !!

[GGames2009]

 3:02 - Best Part!!!

[TheShenmoki]

@iwantwatchporn HELL YA

[Matrix803]

Those are MIDI drums? Holy shit dude, you made them sound REAL!

[diegoalce1991]

the most kick ass version ever of the avgn theme

[DocRatedR]

It's sounds like Metallica first album =D

It's just perfect!

[ChrisSniped]

@DocRatedR Metallica basically made the rules for trash metal, so it has to sound similar.

[KissMeImPunk]

@ChrisSniped If you wanna get technical, Overkill was the very first thrash band starting in the really late 70s. There aren't any rules if you don't follow the general formulaic pattern (intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, solo, verse, chorus, outro).

[dfghte]

@DocRatedR i know right

[Irongiantman007]

@DocRatedR fuck yehhhhh!!!!!!!!!! XD

[soadhusky]

@DocRatedR i would say it sounds more like exodus

[warwick2155]

@DocRatedR metallica need to take lessons from this now

[stefundertaker222]

@DocRatedR Thank god it doesn't sound as their last album :)

[Biznatch255]

@stefundertaker222 What was their latest album?

[stefundertaker222]

@Biznatch255 Shit Magnetic....or something like that

[Biznatch255]

@stefundertaker222 That was 2 years ago. And it wasn't bad. It was average and more of hard rock or techno pop than metal.

[stefundertaker222]

@Biznatch255 Well yeah...i said "last" not "latest"....and that album was pretty bad

[Biznatch255]

@stefundertaker222 To metal heads, not to the general public. I could care less either way. But if you don't like it that is fine.

[kalma5003]

@DocRatedR Well more like Sepultura, but kinda yes

[darkhusky88]

@DocRatedR

What an insult:p

[jimmy56100]

@darkhusky88 How is that an insult? Kill Em All is an extremly epic, very underrated album.

[Soulfree2008]

@jimmy56100 Yes is is! Along with its spiritual sister album in that specific genre Exodus-Bonded by Blood...\ this is the greatest AVGN music ever created, hands down...

[musadude]

@jimmy56100 Okay, Kill Em All is an awesome album, but ehm.. excactly how is kill em all underrated? Its like one of the best known and highest rated thrash albums ever....

[marveldcuniverse101]

@musadude he means underrated in the sense that when you think metallica you think of master of puppets or ride the lightning. shit and justice for all comes to my mind b4 kill em all, but i'll agree it's definately in their top 3 albums.

[Crash6351]

@jimmy56100

To say that ANY Metallica album is underrated is fucking retarded.

[cmsasuke17]

@Crash6351

Only true Metallica fans know about Kill em' all most people about 50% of the fans. "So call fans if they are true fans" Recognize Metallica through Master of puppets, Enter Sandman, One, and Seek and Destroy. True Metallica fans know songs like Phantom Lord, No Remorse, Metal Militia from Kill Em' All, or scratch that... A true Metallica fan has heard all the songs and like the underrated songs from the first four albums equal to that of the overrated or more.

[SunOfNothing123]

@cmsasuke17 No one cares. Fan girl.

[cmsasuke17]

@SunOfNothing123

Gee "Where did you learn to be an asshole!?", I see a non MetallicA fan.

[SunOfNothing123]

@cmsasuke17 They're okay, I like their early stuff, kinda has a hardcore/thrash crossover, it's cool. I'm just saying, this video is just the AVGN theme song, not a Metallica rant video.

[cmsasuke17]

@SunOfNothing123

Well apparently 50% of the comment section likes to talk about Metallica. So I figured might as well.

[DevilMaster]

@DocRatedR You're right, the beginning sounds like Fade To Black!

[DarkFenix48]

I don't really likes it. Feels like the only thing about the original song are the lyrics.

[evilmaker89]

@DarkFenix48 The lyrics are from the Sega CD review theme

[Trogdorwillrise]

@DarkFenix48 Well, duh. The point of a cover is to put your own personal flavor in it. There are enough covers of the original song anyway that something like this is very welcome.

[ruotsionpaska]

@DarkFenix48 I like it. It's just so damn crazy.

[FinalFantasyFan12100]

Awww!!!! Kick F****** A******!!!!!!!

[Dhanijel1]

Bravo, best version of the song.

[iMoha46]

just raped the play button

[McRabbid9]

Sounds like the softer section of Phantom Lord from Metallica.

[TheLittleRedKing]

This is one of the most amazing things I have ever heard :D

[TMF58]

You sing exactly like Chuck from Death

[demonslayer1000]

i dont know if ive seen this video before but when the electric guitar comes in i swear i heard the riff before

[Metallijazza]

@demonslayer1000 Electric Eye by Judas Priest. It sounds similar to that

[demonslayer1000]

@Metallijazza well ya there is that but theres something else in there that sounds so familiar im thinking a song by dethklok or someone around there
