Even if metal sounds like noise sometimes it's still made from heart, soul and passion and not by a software.

@invictussim-racingitalia1268

ok, but in this particular case I would say that it's the song that lends itself to an acoustic version... Not all rock and metal music lends itself to melodic harmonies... I don't think "Disposable Heroes" or "Battery" or the vast majority of Metallica's compositions sound the same way on a classical guitar. This does not mean, however, that it is noise for those who do not appreciate...

It happens. People who listened to metal and love it is because we have the capacity to hear each instrument very well, this also includes the main singer and the other singers as a backup. Other people don't identify them like we do

This proves that Fade to Black isn't just a beautiful metal song, it's a beautiful song full stop no matter what genre or style it's played in. Hats off to you

The 594 dislikes are the people who tried to master the acoustic like this guy but failed.

Incredible! Even this superlative fails to capture the grandeur of what this guy does! He does 2 guitar parts, vocal parts, percussion AND switches tuning, all while putting his own style, while retaining the heart of the song. Blew my mind, friend!

30 year Metallica fan here. Fade to Black is one of my all time favs and you absolutely crushed it. Thanks so much! So rad to watch.

The poise, the grace, the subtlety of the fingers. Mindblowing 🔥

I belive i started following you since i found this video in 2013. Since that, you never stopped to impressed me. You have alot of talent. Listening to you is a real pleasure.

I have listened to Kelly's version for years now. His fingerstyle is clean and cord choice is excellent. Classically trained is the way to go

How can you play lead,bass,drum, vocal and solo at the same time? So relaxing to listen you. Incredible...👍

"It's too perfect." That is the only gripe I've ever been able to come up with regarding your playing. Everything you play is a certified masterpiece, and the arrangements you come up with are gorgeous. I love your work. :)

One man band over here! Seriously though dude, awesome cover

noooooooo I want to see that solo,is awesome.

So are you going to play Kirks guitar part? James guitar part? The vocal melody? YES.

Saw this video on my home feed, and I'm so glad I found this. especially going to visit my brother's grave today. Never heard of you til today but I'm thankful. beautiful rendition and style of this song. thank you for your beautiful contribution to society and these beautiful medleys for us all to enjoy.

I love how you just kept the main line the same in the opening. It’s a perfect little chord progression with the phrasing it uses. Hetfield is an underrated acoustic player and composer of chord progressions. He’s not just a riff master. He really has a taste for melody and phrasing.
