Justin Bieber Covers Metallica’s ‘Fade to Black’

Young pop star delivers a performance of a metal classic.

Young pop sensation Justin Bieber recently presented an acoustic cover version of a classic Metallica track “Fade to Black.”Although it’s not exactly a typical cover, the clip shows Bieber using his voice to recreate Kirk Hammet‘s lead melody part, accompanied by his musical director Dan Kanter on guitar.

Young Justin has already declared himself as a Metallica fan last year, singling out “One” and “Fade to Black” as some of his favorite songs. “Those are my jams,” he told GQ magazine.

In a separate Q magazine interview, Bieber also shared his affection for hard rockers Guns N’ Roses and the iconic Beatles while discussing online haters.

“I would say to my haters, I love you. Thank you for supporting me by hating me. When they write messages on my YouTube page, I get money for that. So they’re just giving me money to hate on me,” he explained, just to focus on musical favorites.

“I like Guns N’ Roses and Metallica,” JB added. “The Beatles. I like Metallica’s ‘Fade to Black’ and ‘One.’ It’s edgy and emotional with those instruments and electric guitars and stuff.”

Justin Bieber Is a Fan of Tool, Asks Followers to Guess Which Song These Lyrics Are From

“Don’t look it up please I’m curious if any of you know it,” the singer wrote.

Pop superstar Justin Bieber has revealed that he is a fan of Tool, inviting his followers to guess which song these lyrics come from:

Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been outta your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead

The singer wrote via Instagram:

“If you know what the song is to the lyrics I posted, write them down on my last post. Don’t look it up please I’m curious if any of you know it.”

Although Justin has previously expressed his fandom of Metallica and even once performed “Crazy Train” dressed as Ozzy Osbourne, but seemingly never publicly said anything about Tool.

The lyrics he shared come from the band’s 2006 track “The Pot,” released on Tool’s latest studio album “10,000 Days.”
