Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth) on AJFA: *silence*

3:52 Slayer is calling, they would like their solos back.

The title should have been: “ Lightning”

4:45 gonna tell my kids this is Jason Newsted

Love that blackened part in the main riff

holy shit the guy just made a Jason Newsted impression, epic

I hear bass. Not Acurate!

The tone is perfect

“Ride The Justice For All” 😂😂

4:21 no... this cant be right Bass on AJFA?

Wait, the ”jason vocals” are actually your vocals?!

4:25 made my soul smile, and I didn't even think I had a soul. Well done!

7:14 schism xD

Wonder what his parents were thinking when he recorded Jason’s vocals? 😂 *MUUTHHAFUUKKAA DIIIEEE*

I like how the alignment between the lightning and Lady Justice's arm forms an "M."

Blackened Death seems like an appropriate title for this mixup, fuckin' awesome🤘

My two cents: Your version opens with a measure of China cymbals. This is followed by a busy hi-hat (0:04) and... bass?! This is obviously uncharacteristic of the band at this stage, but your tone and playing are excellent. No complaints from me. I also love how you have several measures of power chords, and several measures of harmonized chords. However, because this is in the style of Justice the difference between them is much more pronounced. They have a very raw quality here, as well, and almost sound stretched as if by pedal effects. I love the pause you've included before the main riff, which you've modified to include variations that sound like Blackened (0:25; always a good thing). The guitar on the left establishes the riff; the crescendo is foreshadowed by a steady cymbal pattern that jumps into double-time before the second guitar, panned to the right, joins in (I love that one-two from the snare at 0:31-very punchy). Then things kick off in a fairly ironic way: We have the guitars, the drums and the bass, all playing audibly together, and it sounds great. Not something that would be heard on the original album, but if you stick to the live sound or the legion of remasters determined to reinsert the bass into the album, it works. And this sounds positively *heavy* as a result (seriously, that chug at 0:41 is to die for-not to mention the nice bit of variation with the palm muting). When James' voice joins in, it still sounds a fair bit like his Ride the Lightning vocals. Blown up instead of tight and dry, it doesn't quite mesh with the instruments, here. It's not enough to distract as the song goes on, but I did notice it at first. I love how Lars sounds incapable of playing a steady pattern here (i.e., 0:56-1:05). There's all kinds of nifty stutters and stops that he wouldn't have bothered with, back in 1984. It sounds like you've taken a couple notes out of the chorus riff, extending some of what remains and stressing things slightly differently (1:22). Also, the dominant(?) chord is a nice touch (1:29). This and the snare sounds more prevalent during the verse, and the kick gets more love during the chorus. You've clearly put a lot of work into this and I appreciate all the little things you've included. I'm also really in love with Lars' kit; it sounds pretty much perfect, I think (i.e., 1:47-2:03). It really makes me want to air drum-a sign you've done your job well. This being said, 2:11 almost sounds like a mistake. During solo before the bridge, I love that held chord-how it almost harmonizes with Kirk when he starts the solo (2:34). The solo itself sounds fine, but I will confess it's a tad quiet and hard to hear against the rhythm tracks. Still, there's some really cool stuff going on in here. The tapping pattern at 2:49-2:53 sounds proper weird, for example, but I like it; it has kind of an experimental sound to it, while "Kirk's" guitar is pretty raw and intense. It's an interesting combination for sure-if only the solo were a bit louder! After it ends, you've taken the final phrase and stretched it into a harmonized refrain, which is very typical of Justice. I do wish the higher notes manifested immediately. Instead, it takes eight bars before things harmonize properly and I feel like it could have simply started off that way (a la Blackened: "See your mother die..."). Once things begin in earnest though, it sounds absolutely great! There's a nice crescendo before you return to the original, pre-ostinato phrase (a good cluster of notes at 3:34). This part sounds fucking awesome with double bass. There's no rhythm to get in the way and the legato variations and whammy bar are all welcome touches. The ostinato itself feels a little busier, with a faster tom roll (and some nifty-but-small rhythm changes at 4:03 / 4:10). I like the transition into "live James," but his voice does inevitably sound older (again, a minor quibble more than anything). Your bass tone is great and I love the rhythmic interplay between Jason and Lars. I see what you were going for with Jason's backup vocals (4:44). However, they're called back-up vocals for a reason, but yours are drowning out the lead singer! Other than that, they actually sound pretty great from an execution standpoint. You said you recorded them yourself? Nice job! That final growl (5:00) before the second solo is blood-curdling! The guitar fill at 5:07 is great, as are the brief time changes you introduce, starting at 5:16. I can really feel myself getting pulled around; less driving I think, but I appreciate the effort and enjoy the sensation! Apart from that, the snare roll at 5:33 sounds like it might have one too many notes. The interplay between the drums and the rhythm before the outro is neat, as well (5:52-5:59). The stacking harmonies here have the same issue as those during the bridge; there's too many measures with a single voice, and here the guitars are a little quiet (including the brand-new voice you've added at 6:16). I would've dropped everything but the base power chords for Kirk to solo over (6:32 is nearly incomprehensible); there's just too much going on at the end. Lastly, considering how drum-heavy this version is, the lack of a balls-to-the-wall outro from Lars feels missed. Great work, Bryce! Please don't take any of these criticisms to heart; you've taken a lot of risks with this one, and it really pays off. Mainly the issues are volume (quiet solos), but the end section is a bit cluttered, I'll admit. A great outing from you, and look forward to more. Keep 'em coming! \m/

Clearly Bryce is actually Jason trying to live his moments as if he was in Metallica in the early ages

"what are you guys listening to lately?" "I just discovered this new genre called 'if Metallica song X was on Album Y". Seriously this stuff is amazing.

The altered main riff kinda sounds weird at first, but it gets addicting the longer I listened to it

if “one” was on RTL question mark question mark

Your backing vocals are so loud I was frightened hearing this "DIE"

goddammit this is gooooooooddddddd! actually the solo and "DIE BY MY HAND!!!!" part edit:your vocals are actually goodd mang!! Jason approved!!

Bruh, 4:44 was like downing shots of thumbtacks with a stein of razors chaser. That was the most badass thing in all of most badass thing history.

bass is audiable :D except that this is perfect

i love how you gave the bass a section by itself like they did when they played creeping death in moscow, it really gave the bass a voice and just realized how nasty that bass riff is when crowd chanting “die”

The pause before the main riff starts gives me chills

This is a perfect work of art 3:02 to 3:52 is out of this world

A band with Bryce and StateOfMercury on guitars would be absolutely unstoppable.

6:17 do I hear thunderstruck? also the vocals are killer!

this crossovers are driving me nuts yoooooh hahahahhahaha schism at the end XD and the rhythm part under the solo at 2:30 is so tight, maybe not everyone noticed that it's different

I LOVE the integration of the main creeping death riff and the slight toss in of blackened you do...

Wait.... There's bass??

If there's someone who can do a James Hetfield impression that's as spot on as that Jason Newsted impression, that'd be fucking killer. P.S. Suicide & Redemption on ...And Justice for All, please

StateOfMercury and Bryce Barilla, the two channels which make the most of Metallica song rework making the songs if it were released on that particular album.

“Ride the justice” or “And justice for lightning”

Those Jason vocals go hard, man. I genuinely thought you ripped Jason's vocals at first. Great job, you have a really good vocal tone for that sort of back up singing I think.

The Jason vocals are crazy!!!!

I would have thought the "Die by my Hand", part would have been slower, the boys were notorious for doing the speed up and slow down shpeel on Justice.

Discovering this channel today and I feel like a kid who got like 500 amazing Xmas presents before Xmas

The fact the people all over the comments don’t believe that's your impression of Jason just proves you did a fcking awesome job bro! Unbelievable...please upload an mp3 of it slightly lowered so we can hear James a bit more! Thank you for these amazing works of art

wait i just realized you did the vocals for jason wtf?! that sounds phenomenal bro much love

0:12 Is this creeping death on AJFA or bryan may playing creeping death?

The Jason vocals gave me chills, great job, man!

Now this is the Official Definitive version of the song. The Die part cemented this into existence.

I can’t believe I JUST NOW finding out about this. It’s beautiful. This is a masterpiece!! Jason’s part is great! It sounds exactly like him. I just wish the final chorus was sung by Jason like it is live but besides that, this is incredibly insane. Great work man! Awesome

Creep and blackened riff’s collab is great!

Dude. As a guitar player who loves old school Metallica? That transition from the D chord sliding up to E chord at 2:15 is wicked! You did an overall smashing job on this song my man! Fucking aye!

killer Jason vocals dude, thought it was actually him before I read the description

Next video: what if master of puppets was on master of puppets

The drums are exactly like how Lars played when he was at the top of his game, well done!

That’s literally the best Jason Impression ever.

Ride all for the justice Great job and those vocals are amazing

Wow, Jason’s vocals were amazing

HOLY SHIT, THAT JASON IMPRESSION MADE ME LITERALLY FLINCHED. THAT WAS AMAZEBALLS! GOOD JOB, MAN! And no shit. I've got goosebumps on that part. But it overpowered James's vocals, tho. But hey! It's great! I just subscribed. Looking forward to watch more of your contents. :)

I knew i would love this but wow. Everything you create is absolutely amazing

And Ride For All - Uber

So badass. That vocal part in the middle rules

Wow! Great crossover, dude! Now I can hear the bass, and sounds like the original AJFA bass... I love it!

Damn bro, listened to this a lot these last few weeks and had no idea that wasn’t Jason on vocals. BEAST!

Dude, this was really good!!!

Producer of a future Metallica album lmao!

This is so good, thank you so much for making this.

I like how tight & clean the drums sound on this. Lars was a bad man back in the day.

Man you have rekindled an old love for Metallica from me. I mean I've always lived them but this is like hearing them all over again for the first time! I feel 15 years younger again thanks to you

This is very f*cking amazing!!! And the "DIE" part si so glorious!!!

This channel is going better and better Keep on 🤘

This song just topped my top 100 charts, keep up the amazing work!

I love how loud Jason backing vocals are in the mix.

Holy fuck man. The main riffs, they combined to make something somehow cooler. That sounds so good. If these keep getting copyright claimed, maybe you could take out the vocals and release them as covers on iTunes or Spotify or something?

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Thanks. By the way the idea of the bridge at 3:03 is good af, that’s ur best cover by far

This whole crossover is awesome and the ending is amazing

2 years later and your Jason impression still gives me chills

This and MoP on RTL are easily the greatest creations on all of KZfaq.

I really thought that was Jason from a live recording! Same energy! Well done!

Kicks so much ass! Thanks for creating this masterpiece!

3:02 Love this part.

Am i the only one who heard "he hea boi" in the start?

Wow Sounds Great!! Love this

You sure have talent for mixing great music.

I'm loving these.

Whoa! This is crazy good!

That was wickedly awesome! \m/

Yo you should be doing backing vocals for tallica that die chant riff is so close to newstead

I know you don’t really do song combinations, but hearing For Whom the Bell Tolls lyrics on Don’t Tread on Me or vice versa would sound amazing. Amazing edit BTW.

Definitely your best by far!!

The sound is killer good Job dude

Love it! Do another one, do another one!

Fuck those Jason vocals took me by surprise. Fucking well done my dude!!!

i love that u added a little of blackened riff

i just love how good everything sounds

I leave my like even before watch the video

Holy shit those vocals are really good man

Insane and fantastic!

Ok i love the blackened feel, works amazingly

Ok this man is a genius

Nice Arrangements!

Very creative. Well done sir!

Damn dude! I can't hit the subscribe button fast enough! You and Stateofmercury have this section of youtube cornered.
