I believe this is Metallica's most difficult rhythm riff to play. 

[sepultubob]

The squeal harmonics with no whammy bar... I mean come on !!! Makes me want to go back to this album and work this songs just like I am still 18 ! Amazing performance.

[oOskar]

That solo was so fucking clean Jesus...

8 years later still the best Blackened cover on YouTube. The riff coming back after the solo pumps me up every time. I could run through a wall.

[TheMusicfan]

That tone is SPOT ON, wow. Love how you shifted towards the camera @2:06 because that riff is BADASS.

[anfangerlp]

oh my god this is the best cover from Blackened if ever seen

[Eh_O_Nico]

You're the best Metallica player i've ever seen. There's no one better than you on YouTube. Keep rocking bro

I’m learning this at the moment and the picking hand is definitely the hardest part. I can fret all the (James) notes at full speed no problem, my right hand can’t keep up the pace and accuracy though. The riff patterns are pretty basic but sound amazing. It just goes to show how fantastic a rhythm player Hetfield is, nailing this shit in his twenties.

At 5:00 starts the most confusing part for ears

[siddharthbapardekar]

Can’t believe James Sings while playing that. Absolute legend 🙌🏻🔥

[isaacrumley]

When Kirk's solos were genuinely good and actually had some interesting flare to them

[PippPriss]

This is one heck of a cover. SWEET Job on doing that, man!

[ned]

Here commenting 10 years later, man thst was absolutely flawless... Incredible...

[patrickcrawford]

Hey I love both Radiohead and Metallica too. Sweet.

[Doc_Johnsonn]

Fucking legendary. Nicely done homie sounds spot on through the whole song, which is hard AF to do considering that solo is dirty as hell!!!

[buraker]

The transition at 5:10 is awesome! Best part!

[josesantander]

You are the best with the covers of metallica.

[rob]

This is a challenging song, not only a chromatic riff, with tremolo picking, and the odd time signatures, but the speed with precision.. I get pretty sore halfway through, you just push till the end... I applauded this guy, he's 99% there...

[FlameHeart]

I fkn loved your metallica covers when i was a kid, years later i remembered your channel and here i am man❤

[FreestyleCarpgaming]

What’s even more baffling is about this riff is that James plays it even faster when performing live 🤯
