The guitarists respect for the original notes is very much appreciated here.

Guitar staying true to the original, the singer staying true to the lyrics, even the bass drums stayed true. This is an amazing cover. I am a nobody on the internet. But, I am a huge Metallica fan and have been for almost 30 years. You earned my like!

The drummer is awesome. He really brought it home, hitting heavy on that bass while maintaining speed. Rock & Roll, First211!

Fade to Black is my all time fav Metallica song. It takes a lot to impress me with it. You guys killed it

'Fade to black' -> Background fades to black and so does Audra's hair That escalated quickly

I grew up on Metallica and I've always loved their covers, or any cover that's well done. I love this. You kept it close to the original but made it your own. You are all exceptional musicians and the cohesion of the band is on point. Her voice is amazing and really sets this version apart from the original. Bravo!

Fade to black is in my top 5 songs of all time and while I will love the original more than any other, this one did not disappoint! It was great and I’m so happy my favorite Metallica song got done so well

This is the way to cover a song. Don't over do it. This and many other young groups are the torch bearers for rock music. Respect.

It is heart-warming to see the younger people keeping this older music alive and killing it too. Excellent!!!

"One" could be the next Metallica Cover!!

If you watch several of these kids videos, you’ll come to realize they are incredibly talented. Each musician and her vocals are all top notch! I want to see them in concert.

This cover made me smile. I'm a huge Metallica fan and this is a massive song to cover and you guys nailed it. Hearing this with a female singer gave it a new edge which worked so well, amazing voice. Guitar, drums and bass you all did the song respect and showed true skill. This is real talent.

The guitar playing is spot on. I love that it wasn't "reworked".

As an original fan of Metallica. And I still miss Cliff. You have done this song it's due justice. To the guitar player and the rest of the musicians. You nailed this song note for note. To the singer. Thank you for not going over the top on this and putting your own spin on this. This cover hit me where I live. THANK YOU. It actually brought me to tears.

I been a metallica fan since 82. I'm 50 and have to be honest this lead guitarist nailed it. And the vocals are awesome. Fade to black is metallicas best song in my opinion. You guys nailed it. Wtg and keep rocking 😎

I think you guys should be on every radio in the world. You all are great at your instruments and the singing. Write your own songs and go kill it. The guitar player could be in any band out there right this second. He's that good!!

Crawling or In the End for Hybrid Theory's 20th anniversary

Props to the lead guitar. Closest to Kirk I have ever heard.

I've listening this masterpiece at least once a month since its release. Awesome cover!

Spectacular! Every part of it kills. Guitarist and drummer, vocal harmonies were just fantastic. Thank you guys for doing this incredible song some absolute justice. ❤️ New fan!

They're all real good but that guitarist is spot on. Excellent.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that white telecaster. Gotta love how it magnificently stands out with the black background.

Her voice is so nice to listen to, very smooth. And the boi killing the guitar solo is a grandmaster

U guys rocked the life into this old masterpieces of covers..love you guys

Oh, the hair faded to black ..

This was the very first song my band back in high school covered and you guys did an astounding job on this cover!

Amazing job by guitarist. It takes big balls to cover the solo of Fade to Black.

Whenever i hear fade to black, its goose bumps. Love this song and its great to see good covers like this :)

Holy shyt, this has and will always be my fav Metallica song. This is a master piece, Thank you so much for choosing this song, Love ya'll keep up the great work!

The short moment from 4:52 when she lets the sound go out very slowly shows how incredibly soulful she sings. That doesn't happen in the original. Simply wonderful!

For many people this is the most important Metallica song and you honoured in such amazing fashion.

Gotta say, Cliff would be incredibly proud of the Bassist. His notes are spot on and sound amazing. Overall amazing cover!!!

Have to say, i got hooked on this band back when Heathens came out, and you guys ROCK. forever will be my favorite band keep up the work!

Outro solo absolutely freaking awesome, very impressive, be proud 👍👍👍

This has always been one of my favorite songs. And what a fantastic cover!

The guitarist is so full of vibe. It's a delight to watch him play.

The fact that 3 weeks in a row you guys have released songs where there's no vocals for minutes at a time, especially Fade to Black where it's truly predominately instruments, definitely betrays a massive confidence in yourselves and speaks to the strength of the band imo. When bands have an extremely talented singer who's also a captivating "frontman" and they perform and cover a lot of pop, I think it's way easier for a band to struggle and fall apart when pulling away from that strength and crossing genres (and also possible for lots of fans to be turned off even if the quality is good) but unsurprisingly you guys are amazing here. Metallica was also my first concert, so two songs of theirs is a treat. Thanks!

As an old metal head grew up listening to this good to to see great songs live on

Excellent! As a fellow Telecaster player, I like how you've proven those old guitars can metal with the rest.

Please Do "The Unforgiven" Next!!!

I've had covid twice and if it's how I go out, you'll be what's running thru my last thoughts. You made a tired 61 year old rocker believe in life again. You guys kick ass

This song will always hold a special place in my heart. It's the first of Metallica's songs that I learned James' parts front to back.

This is my all time favorite Metallica song and these guys KILLED IT!!!

As an old metalhead it's not my cup of tea, but how you gonna dislike kids paying respect to the masters?

Got to admire vocalists who can play and sing nothing for 2 whole minutes without looking awkward

Respect for all the musicians and the singer. Really good stuff.

I think Ride the Lighting is one of my most listened to albums of all time. And holy shit… the respect you guys put on this song. This might be one of the best Metallica covers I’ve ever heard. And while I’m sure folks have singled out how good every member of the band does here… that bass tone is heavenly. Saying that as a bass player though. 😅

One of the best covers out there. You guys deserve to be million + views for this one. 👏

One of my all-time favourite F211 covers. Brilliant. Will never tire of listening to it. 🔥🔥🔥🤘👍👏😃

The most Incredible Faded to Black cover I have ever seen. You guys have nailed it! 👏 👌 🙏Thank you for keeping Rock & Roll alive

He has mastered that guitar son!

I've waited so long for this! Fade to Black was the first song i learned on guitar and it has been my favourite song for many years. Awesome cover.

The awkward "I don't have any lines for a minute" sway. You're on fire, Audra! Love the hair. Great work all of you.

LYRICS: Life, it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters, no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye Goodbye

This song, Nothing Else Matters and November Rain are my top 3 favorite covers from F211. Thanks for making such awesome Music/Covers.

This is one of my favorite Metallica's songs, you just covered perfectly, respects to the guitar player for making the solo notes perfectly! you guys rock, you know? Keep on Rocking, you're crushing it!! really good, I literally got goose bumps

Why aren’t more people talking about the insane lead guitar work in this.... that was awesome! More of the same please

It's great to see younger people embracing these classis songs. You all should be proud of yourselves. Great performance.

That guy on Guitar - What a sound you have produced! Jaw dropping things

This is absolutely one of the best covers I have ever heard. Thank you.

Love the classic treatment with the instrumentation. The vocal harmonies are on point. Very tastefully done cover.

Metallica fan since 88. Love this! Cliff Burton is definitely smiling down hearing this.

Hats off to the guitarist- nailed it.

This was the song that got me hooked to "First to Eleven" back then. Just re-listening to it again today. :)

Your drummer is actually smiling and so happy to be playing this. I love this. Yall should cover some more of his taste in music cuz he showed out for this one. Super sick 💥🤙🤘

The group does great respect to Metallica and proves a great group can do a great cover of them. Girl I don't know you but that was awesome vocals

This actually bought me to tears.....WOW guys, killed it!

Top shelf musicians with great attitudes and a down-to-earth vibe throughout. This is like a breath of fresh air. I give you my highest overall rating....

3:54 to 5:03 ..that riff ...1st time i heard it in 1986 when I was 16... I knew i wanted to play guitar. Worked hard, saved my pennies, bought a nice Jackson and a Marshall amp. Then I realized, I had no fkn clue wtf i was doing.

Oh my god, when she singed the "to the agony" it went so high and it sounded amazing!!

Suddenly I am 15 again. Riding around with friends, long unseen. An age both better and worse. So much time gone by...so many faces past and gone. I had to cry by the end. Perfect.

"Ride the Lightning" and especially this song saved my life. I do enjoy this version, and I'm glad the kids are keeping it going.

Recently I realised Matt's skills are so underrated.

One of my favorite guitar intros! This guitarist really nailed it!!

This song kept me from a night to take my life. The power of music kept me alive and to survive and to be alive. I thank YOU.

FIrst to Eleven isn´t the band we deserve, but the band we need.

This is your best cover! The guitar work here is insane and Audra has never looked better 💗

As is mentioned in many comments the respect for the source material makes me love what you guys do. You aren't watering it down for the kids, you honor it in it's entirety. Very nicely done really great cover

Around 5:00 is the best Metallica's solo ever, I cry from strong emotions every time I hear it ❤

It took me a minute to feel this singer's voice. Cool rendition. 🤙

Audra's rockin the black hair

When these kids look back at this many years from now, they will be even more proud and happy, esp for the last few mins.

Love this song. Amazing cover, guys . Thank you. Keep rocking.

One of my three favorite songs, being listening since I was a young boy. You did great.

I love it. The song + Audra's voice + the musicians = amazing cover 🤩🤩🤩

Being an old "Metalhead" from the early seventies!" and strolling across these you tube videos here lately they sound great," I'm impressed keep killing it!!!"

Thanks for doing this song, this is my all time favorite. The lyrics and guitar riffs are so beautiful

Best cover, ever! Can´t stop playing it! I am a huge Metallica fan, and this is wonderful!!❤

such a great sound..this is coming from a musician who has done alot of gigs myself but at an older age much props you guys are tight work!

The riff and cont'd at 3:54 is the part that gives me goosebumps and something like "dark pleasure" whenever and wherever I hear it. And I see you guys (and an elegant lady for sure) handled this chapter of the piece very well. Cheers F211!

These guys consistently knock it out of the ballpark.

Audra + Metallica= perfection ❤️

Vocalist has a very distinct voice. A nice sound. The band is tight so this is a good cover. A different but good sound !

Great vocal and band. Incredible.

That pearl white tele with the dark rosewood fretboard - what a gorgeous guitar.

First time I ever see someone play Metallica on Telecaster

Metallica & First To Eleven, the perfect combination. "Fade To Black" is one of of must beautiful songs in the history. 🤘

METALLICA is 4ever....respected for their works all over the WORLD.

I watched this like 100 times dince I discovered this. Its so goos, a very good dark melancholy song, made even better by you guys. Fantastic work!
