It never hurts to see different perspectives on something. In the case of Metallica we’ve already seen how they would sound “Raining Blood” by Slayer either “War Pigs” by Black Sabbath sung by James Hetfieldbut surely few have wondered what the men in black would become if we eliminated distortion from the equation in the musical aspect.
The tiktoker Kainoah Bowman He has a particular theory about what happens when you strip those from San Francisco of their characteristic distortion: “Just remind you that metal without distortion is just surf music.”he says at the beginning of a video that has already accumulated almost four million views.
To prove his theory, he does not hesitate to start with “Master of Puppets” with his guitar devoid of distortion, but if that were not enough to convince the undecided about this unexpected connection between surf and metal, he also plays “Seek and Destroy”.

As expected in the virtual universe, they do not take long to respond to this particular theory and this is what the user said @kayo8559: “Black metal sounds like surf rock, not Metallica”.
Others, on the contrary, prefer to see the subject in reverse and wonder what surf rock would sound like with distortion and our friend Bowman You are also encouraged to express your point of view with a later video in which he performed two surf classics such as “Wipeout” of The Surfaris and the famous “Miserlou” of Dick Dalepopularized by the film Pulp Fiction. User @forlaughsnotfollows summed it up this way: “Music is like soup. You throw in a little bit of this and a little bit of that and you get a new flavor/genre of music.”.
@kainoahbowman Replying to @Rob919 surf rock with distortion?! Good or bad?! #guitartok #musiciansoftiktok #guitarmeme #guitarjoke #surfrock #electricguitar #guitarist #guitar #guitarlesson #guitartutorial #distortion #classicrock ♬ original sound – Kainoah Bowman
