Just heard Iron Horses version of Fade to Black. My music was on shuffle and I didnt know what was coming next, so I listened to the music without knowing the name. It sounded familiar, and then I saw that it was a bluegrass version of a Metallica song. I have to admit that at first I wondered if it was a gimmick. But actually the music itself was awesome, and I thought that anything played so proficiently and arranged so neatly could not be a gimmick. Way too much time, effort, and talent went into that performance for it to be anything but an excellently crafted tribute. Ive listened to a few other Iron Horse versions of Metallica songs now and I think Fade to Black and Unforgiven are the best. They seem to work better as bluegrass songs than some of the others (for example, One and Enter Sandman). I wonder if you guys think this is true also. Did some songs seem to fit better in a bluegrass style than others? Do you think this is because of a particular reason, maybe the chord structure or the vocal melody? Love your music!
