I really like Metallica but do not get the love for their cover of Whiskey in the Jar. Compared to the Thin Lizzy version it’s mince. It’s not even a good Metallica song.

Q magazine described it as having all the grace and subtlety of a one-legged man in an arse-kicking contest. 

Hard to disagree.

Reading some tweets on the year anniversary of Scott Hutchison’s sad passing, and came across this.



Saw them do it live many moons ago and totally forgot about it. Certainly much better than the original.

However, their cover of ‘So What’ is better than the original IMO.

I was about to mention Am I Evil, but I'd only heard Diamond Head do a shit job of performing it live. Turns out the original is virtually identical to Metallica's.
