(io9) Cool Metallica remakes "Thriller" video with Soviet war zombies, which is infinitely more pleasant than having to watch balding middle-aged men sadly clenching their teeth and making devil horns with their hands   (io9.com) divider line 58

The song's is sort of ok, but man. That video is probably the best thing they did since the 80s

Great video!
The other day, I was helping my neighbor patch his roof. We saw this white plane flying high around the city, for about 2 hours. Maybe 9-10 times around the city. Long thick white trail behind it, very slow. The rings turned into real awesome looking clouds.

That sucked.

The video would be awesome, if the intro to it didn't take up the first 3.5 minutes.

Also, it has absolutely nothing to do with Thriller or The Wall, both of which TFA compares it to. (aside from that it takes place in an alternate WWII-era universe)

It's not something I can watch over and over like most music videos though.

Certainly helps when one of your band members is a huge fan of the horror genre.

Pretty cool video. My friend who is really into metal will appreciate it.

It's tough not being able to make a song or video that good...

You'll get over it.

good stuff

Holy shiat!

Love the album and song (never thought I'd say either about Metallica ever again) and the video is wicked awesome.

 
hourheroyes 2008-12-09 06:22:24 PM  
That was sick. I love the style.

I don't care if you insist on calling them "Sea Monkeys," it's all brine shrimp to me.

That was great! That's an awesome song and kick ass video. It's almost like they've started drinking again.

Megadeth should have written this back in the day. Are you sure this wasn't left over from when Mustaine was in the band?

 
Funbags 2008-12-09 07:30:38 PM  
I don't get it, if they have robots, who needs zombies?

 
Andric 2008-12-09 07:35:35 PM  
Oh my god! That was awesome!!!

 
commisioner 2008-12-09 07:49:09 PM  
probably the best video theyve ever done

/Farking loved it
//would make an awesome movie

Ok by a show of hands, who not only thought this video was awesome in its own right, but would make for an awesome RPG campaign?

Because "St. Anger" just KICKED ASS, didn't it?

/Metallica still sux, dude

 
ibanezdude 2008-12-09 08:21:59 PM  
I see opinions of this video are just black and white, no gray...

I think the song is pretty awesome, definitely a lot better than the St. Anger days. The video is outstanding.

 
PerfectlyCromulent 2008-12-09 08:33:20 PM  
Not a fan of Metallitca or that song, but I'll agree that the video kicks ass.

THIS.

I really don't know why the idiots at 109 compare this to "Thriller" - seems insanely stupid to me. Um, yeah, both have zombies. Similarity ends completely after that tidbit.

I guess all zombie movies pay homage to the great Michael Jackson, dur, dur...

 
CaesarSneezy 2008-12-09 09:21:07 PM  
So the Imperial Guard found Tyrannids that reproduce like Orks? That isn't good.

 
badhatharry 2008-12-09 10:06:33 PM  
It's like a propaganda film from the 40's from a capitalist pig rock group.

 
Effexx 2008-12-09 10:17:33 PM  
So will Metallica try to shut down YouTube for hosting, and sharing the video?

 
Cubic Zirconium Jim Brady 2008-12-09 10:30:57 PM  
It has a great beat and I can dance to it, so I give it a 10.

 
El Farquistador 2008-12-09 10:55:55 PM  
Oh, hi Metallica. Glad to see you are awesome again.

 
Knobbs 2008-12-09 11:02:27 PM  
I hate the new album, but I thought this was pretty cool.

 
Primum 2008-12-09 11:37:18 PM  
I've hated Metallica since perhaps 1992 but that video rocked! I'm all about zombie horror, Soviet studies and alternate history sci-fi, though... a little biased I guess.

Haven't seen the video, but it's easily the best song on Death Magnetic. I wish Hetfield would stop doing some of the annoying vocal mannerisms he picked up in the Load/Reload era, though.

/luck runs out-TAHH

 
mandingueiro 2008-12-10 12:36:25 AM  
that was a great video. the first time i heard that song on the radio i did not know it was 'tallica and was rocking out till i heard the voice then i was like WTF but then i rocked out some more.

 
helix400 2008-12-10 01:28:59 AM  
Wow, that was incredibly boring.

Agreed. Pardon me while I get to work.
You might like "Monte Cook's World of Darkness". It has kind of the same feel that this does. It's the system I plan on using to run this.

I quit listening to music like this around 1990.. But I have to say, that still rocked.

Dude, did you just type 'tallica?!??!?

Seriously, was it really worth it to save the extra keystroke?

This is completely not Megadeth's style of writing, even when they were in their prime as you put it. I always put Megadeth over Metallica in terms of technical abiity and song writing, but this is FAR from Dave Mustiane's style.

Speaking of which, new Megadeth is still terrible. I stopped caring after Youthanasia.

 
Lou Stoolz 2008-12-10 11:42:46 AM  
I bet in a few days snippets of that are gonna show up on Disclose.tv as a leaked real project, just wait and see.
