What if Megadeth's Holy Wars was on ...And Justice For All? | Metallica Album Crossovers
Five months in the making, and I'm incredibly proud of the final result. This project, a rendition of Megadeth's 'Holy Wars' in the style of Metallica's 'And Justice For All', is perhaps the best-mixed and mastered work I've ever created to date. During the process, I explored new techniques, departing from heavy EQ matching that I'd used in previous 'What If' projects. The outcome is a track, I feel, that's fresh and unique in its own way.
Throughout the song, I've hidden various 'AJFA' Easter eggs for you to discover, and maybe a little classical lick too. see if you can spot them all!

I for one welcome our AI overlords. However, this has a way to go on vocals. Sounds too Mustainey (unless that was what Bryce is going for). Check out Metallica Chasing Light - Ride the Lightning tone by SOSO and Greenmile. They re-sang the vocals from scratch and fed the resulting isolated vocals into a RTL optimized James model. The vocals are almost verbatum RTL (and the track absolutely slaps). I think on this one Bryce is running actual Mustaine's Holy Wars vocals through a AJFA James model. To get closer to true AFJA James I think he has to re-sing the song himself in a style more closer to how James would actually sing it and then feed it through that AFJA James model.

I've seen Dave's credits on Ride the Lightning on either a couple or some of the songs as the booklet states. It's a 2021 reissue, so if there are any issues with a 2021 copy, then the others before it are also. Dave would be livid to hear this back in '89 before he finished his rendition of the same song. Instead of just being bitter, he'd already be on lawsuit mode at this point.

the breakdown and the solo are so fucking sickkkkk
Surprisingly on point! Great job!
Holy wars? Yeah, more like holy shit, this is astonishing! As a fan of both bands, this ruthlessly KICKS! Love how it's not just a simple tone swap either, it actually feels like something I'd hear off of AJFA with all of the changes sprinkled around. Fantastic job, dude! Keep this up!
My ears are jizzing everywhere
The voice is so accurate! It is the best sounding James AI audio I have ever heard! And the actual song rocks too!!!!! Rock on brotha! Please make more of these!
I don't comment on vids like this very often because they seem derivative and lacking in real feel and understanding of the source material. This.... THIS is a huge exception! This is truly amazing and a serious work of art that it seems the creator really took on as a passion project. Please, PLEASE, keep this shit coming!!!!
This is such an incredible interpretation. Definitely the most creative video I've seen in this style. I really love how different it sounds but it also really shows just how impactful Menza's drumming was in terms of shaping the songs. It's definitely strange not to hear his signature grooves underneath the riffs.
Man...this is amazing! Great job!!
Love this! I wish I could have the whole Megadeth catalog sung by prime James hetfield. Somebody make this please?
Now that's something I've been waiting a long time. Can't wait to hear Moto Psycho in the style of St. Anger

So you pretty much want one of the worse songs played in the style of one of the worst albums. I get the irony.
Mate! What is this sorcerery? that was incredible! This is the best cover you've ever made! Its like hearing a song from an alternate reality. Dude at some point you've got to have a crack at the conjuring or devils island on puppets or ride the lightning they'd be amazing cause they legit could be tallica songs (Particularly devils island), or perhaps slayers black magic cause metallica covered the beginning of it live once
Those VOCALS are an astonishing creation - genius! You know what it REALLY reminds me of? Meshuggah's first album. I remember thinking when I heard Metallica was doing a new album after Justice, and hearing Meshuggah's first album "God - I hope these guys have heard this, because they'll have to go a hell of a long way to beat this!" Then Painkiller came out by Priest, and I was like "WOAH! This is some heavy shit!" And then The Black Album came out and I was like, "You what?"
What a version! Incredible, amazing!
Somewhere in a parallel universe : Dave Mustaine : Lead and Rythm Guitar, Kirk Hammet : Lead and Rythm Guitar, Clif Burton still alive, Lars on drums, James Hetfield is vocals but no guitar and his arm is still broken...
This is fucking perfect, exactly what I’ve been looking for from a Megadeth cover done in Metallica style. Awesome work!
i cannot imagine the amount of work put in this video
This is awesome, i love how they mixed in that little bit of ajfa solo part near the end
Nailed it, keep doing this great work man. Subscribed 🤘🏼
Perfect Work! Here are some of my obvious findings: 00:45 - The Shortest Straw's main lick (original: 00'46) 02:14 - Blackened's Breakdown (original: 02'34) 04:12 - And Justice For All's pre-solo lick (original: 05'03) 04:24 - And Justice For All's solo (original: 05'16)

I don't get the shortest straw one, even though I know the song perfectly. Edit: Oh, now I get it, but wouldn't call it the main lick lol

@@franrus6718 it's actually from In the Hall of The Mountain King by Edvard Grieg
Now im waiting for If symphony was on the black album If A.I.R was on RTL If MOP was on Reign in Blood
You should be very proud of this, it is absolutely mind blowing, my head is splitting down the middle!!
Brilliant idea, bravo my friend
you should post a video of you breaking down the project. would be interesting to see how you came up with all the riffs, solos and new ideas. Great video!!!
You get perfection when you blend the 2 best metal bands together!
