Will never ever understand why the bass was always mixed low on Metallica records. I have a couple of theories but would rather hear the opinions of others. This sounds AMAZING though!!!
My two cents: Working hard to finish the book by Halloween, so releases like this are a nice change of pace/welcome surprise as I write and illustrate! While a bit of raw power is taken away from the guitars-or-nothing approach of the original mix, the most immediate difference, here, are the drums. In the original mix, they're pounding but muddy and tend to get lost in the storm; in your version, I can hear every tom, snare and double kick through a highly balanced mix (the double bass, in particular, being a total delight). In short, nothing is too quiet or loud, the clarity of the individual instruments working in harmony to give a united, concise attack. This goes for the lyrics, which sound enclosed by the other the instruments but not caged by them nor shouting over them; meanwhile, the bass and guitars fit together like a glove-Cliff not being too loud, but still having a chance for his melodies to be heard when he isn't Atlas holding up the world. Criticisms are obviously scant, but there *is* a scream at 5:40 that sounds a little distracting. Overall, though, this remix/remaster is about as good as it gets. Clear without too much polish, it pounds to the core but goes down easy. Some of your best work! \m/
after the spider chord part whatever the bass is doing before the solo is hard to hear in the real mix you can still hear it well when kirk starts here
Not even a minute in and banging like a headcase. Post-listen thoughts: that execution footage added a level of detail which, when both are combined, is (and I mean this as a compliment creatively) hideously confronting. Humans can be monsters.
Gotta Give Credit Where Credit Is Due, That Solo Remaster Was Hell Of A Roller-Coaster! (Especially With The Execution Scene) Mr. Ahdy, You Are NARR! 🔥🔥🔥
Suberb work Ahdy! It's not one of those remixes that try emphasize certain instuments, like just bass guitar, but is genuinely a balanced and an improvement instead of just a curiosity. 11/10
WOW!!!! This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Ahdy, TOP NOTCH from start to finish. And the execution footage added in was the icing on the cake, just frickin AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
this sounds absolutely incredible! all the instruments sound clear and it feels like there's so much space in the mix. metallica should hire you to remix their songs, you do an amazing job!
the thing i like about Ahdy is the use of live footage and the fact he respects the songs and albums when remastering them. you can actually hear stuff that wasnt in the original mixes because of one reason or another. like on the original you can hear cliff but you cant feel him, on this remaster/mix you can feel the thump of the bass
Hello Andy! Your remasters are the real thing! Could you also do some Death songs? It's a shame there are close to no remasters of Death songs on YT with cool sound like yours, any thoughts? I'm sure you'd do a great job! Maybe start with Crystal Mountain? ;D
Hmm I wonder if a comment in a previous video made this come up 😏 To me, this song has everything that made Metallica what made it SO good. Thanks for putting the essential version back on CZcams.
I've been a Metallica fan for 30 years. I found this channel by sheer accident when I stumbled across the remixed version of Blackened. These are absolutely shit fucking hot mate.
This version is better.Beautiful barrel sound and double bass. It was always annoying on this album to realize that in some songs there is an abundance of double bass, but the ears practically did not catch it. And now I can clearly hear all of Lars' work.
I agree it's fucking awesome, but fucking awesome isn't enough info for him to keep what works and improve what can get better. Constructive criticism from someone else can really help anyone improve their work.
Good lord.. 🤘 Every time there's a new remix/remaster added it feels like Christmas. Please please please upload you new mixes for us, i wouldn't mind donating some coins your way for that..
Love Cliff's bass pounding like a monolith throughout this mix - fantastic work!
Will never ever understand why the bass was always mixed low on Metallica records. I have a couple of theories but would rather hear the opinions of others. This sounds AMAZING though!!!
all that's left is escape, and the whole album will soon be healed
Recommend checking out the Gojira cover version.
@@rodjason9397 One of the best Metallica covers out there, along with Chimaira's Disposable Heroes and Machine Head's Battery
Escape is such an underrated song. Idk why James hates it so much. One of my favs on the album.
@@rodjason9397so good
There is no escape, and thats for sure
Bass is mixed just perfectly; it’s not overpowering, but still clear when it’s the only part moving (2:35 is a good example). Well done
The intro was my phone ringtone for years
2:02 “GO!”
4:26 I always loved those last notes of the solo, the way this is emphasized here with the video, man I feel vindicated

There he is
There she is. Always love reading your take on Ahdy's masterful work
THE LEGEND!
bro, I fucking love your comments❤
Me too! I have been looking forward to reading again!
He finally did it 😭 we’re blessed
Indeed
FLASH BEFORE MY EYES
NOW IT'S TIME TO DIE.
BURNING IN MY BRAIN
I CAN FEEL THE PAIN
I CAN FEEL THE FLAMES
my two cents
Its amazing
"M-my two cents! ☝🏼🤓" *Gives full-length opinion nobody asked for*
@ascendancy4900 then don't read it if you are that worried about it lmao
@@ascendancy4900 same with your opinion.
To be fair, some of us actually liked the two cents person. As always, though, this is fantastic.
I love how audible the growl of the bass is here. Excellent job!
after the spider chord part whatever the bass is doing before the solo is hard to hear in the real mix you can still hear it well when kirk starts here

Humans can be monsters.
Was literally just thinking how badly I wanted to hear this from you. Good timing with Beato's interview with Kirk too!
These are the most badass remasters. I can never stop replaying them. I waited so long for this one.
Same, the standard playlist for my car is his YT
God damn this mix is beautiful
They were just young boys writing this timeless metal.. thank you as usual for your excellent remixes
Gotta Give Credit Where Credit Is Due, That Solo Remaster Was Hell Of A Roller-Coaster! (Especially With The Execution Scene)
Mr. Ahdy, You Are NARR! 🔥🔥🔥
شكراً يا غالي 🔥
Love how tight the snare sounds, guitars are crunchier, bass obviously more prominent in the mix. Definitely one of your best reworks
4:12 the harmony here is so audible now. Thanks for bringing one of my favorite riffs to life!
My two cents:
This bangs!
I have missed this so much! Thanks for letting us see and listen to it again! It is awesome!
Did he take it down?
@@chromebull884 it was taken down by CZcams years ago
YES! I have been waiting for this one! My favorite song since 83. Great job bro!!!
Since 83?
since '83??? were you there when they played this song live before the releasing of the album????
@@space_kat1 Yeah I am old. Was there in San Fran in 83 when they played it live for the first time.
Ahdy's work on favorite album of all times? INSTANT LIKE!
OMG the one I have been waiting for! Thank you so much!
Suberb work Ahdy! It's not one of those remixes that try emphasize certain instuments, like just bass guitar, but is genuinely a balanced and an improvement instead of just a curiosity. 11/10
Long have i waited
So glad to see you back at it. An amazing remix. It was like hearing it for the first time all over again.
I'm so glad you kept the scream. It fits so well.
WOW!!!! This was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Ahdy, TOP NOTCH from start to finish. And the execution footage added in was the icing on the cake, just frickin AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I honestly don't f with the stock lightning + scream intro, I just don't want to hear it every time I replay this, but I love everything else.
this sounds absolutely incredible! all the instruments sound clear and it feels like there's so much space in the mix. metallica should hire you to remix their songs, you do an amazing job!
fantastic job here. i love all your R&Ring on metallica songs
Glad you were able to post this again. I thought I was going crazy when I first found out when I couldn't find your original video anymore.
Iam so sad that this masterpiece does not get more views.
I LOVE you work man. You made me fall in love with Metallica again
I needed this remix long ago!
5:01 most badass part of the song
This is 100% your best remix yet in my opinion
I knew the spider chord section would sound like heaven.
I can't get enough if this guitar solo. Unbelievable.
As always great great job
We need full album in this mix!! It's heavy as a fucking tank
This needs THREE CENTS
the thing i like about Ahdy is the use of live footage and the fact he respects the songs and albums when remastering them. you can actually hear stuff that wasnt in the original mixes because of one reason or another. like on the original you can hear cliff but you cant feel him, on this remaster/mix you can feel the thump of the bass
Just when I start to play it here you are :)
Phenomenal work!
bass and drums are just pure thunder, very good re(mix)master
Wake up, Ahdy released a new Metallica remix
Great video, my fingers actually gripped with fear! 🤘🤘🤘
Outstanding!
Hello Andy! Your remasters are the real thing! Could you also do some Death songs? It's a shame there are close to no remasters of Death songs on YT with cool sound like yours, any thoughts? I'm sure you'd do a great job! Maybe start with Crystal Mountain? ;D

To me, this song has everything that made Metallica what made it SO good. Thanks for putting the essential version back on CZcams.
Great work dude!!!
Chills.
Your videos are the modern music videos for the classics
God this is amazing.
I've been a Metallica fan for 30 years. I found this channel by sheer accident when I stumbled across the remixed version of Blackened. These are absolutely shit fucking hot mate.
THIS IS EPIC! 🤘🤘
Faces of Death ;)
Great mix!
This version is better.Beautiful barrel sound and double bass. It was always annoying on this album to realize that in some songs there is an abundance of double bass, but the ears practically did not catch it. And now I can clearly hear all of Lars' work.
YEAAAAAH BUDDDY HEAVYWEIGHT.THAT IS HEAVVY AMAZING WORK.
Love this one, everything is perfectly balanced. I love all the remixes but the drums have been slightly too loud on occasion imo
I found it a bit loud too. I dropped a bit of bass end out of my EQ and it was quite a bit better.
I kinda like when he turns the drums up, especially the bass drum. I vibe way harder in my car
@@davidbrown6634 yea just a minor nitpick. I still prefer most of Ahdy's over the originals. Legend!
There's always a guy with a comment like, My two cents. Bro this is fucking awesome and that's all.
I agree it's fucking awesome, but fucking awesome isn't enough info for him to keep what works and improve what can get better.
Constructive criticism from someone else can really help anyone improve their work.
Wow, never noticed that double kick at 5:29 before!
same with the vocals near the end
Amazing ❤
Clean Pure Sound!! One of the best guitar solos... Probs to Kirk & MetallicA
Very nice work on a brilliant song.
thanks Ahdy !!!! from argentina =)
Best Work Dude!
The return of the King 🐐🐐🐐🐐
Chunkchunkchunkchunkchunk love it! If mixes were done like this back in the 80s maybe I would have picked up the bass instead! Nice job 👍
Damn that sounds banging 🤘
patiently waiting for escape :)
Ladies and gentlemen, i present you the official remasterer of metal heads. Mr Khairat.
