Favourite Metallica Cover

Motley Crue · 05-11-2010 3:05pm #1

Since, unlike most bands, Metallica seem to have their music covered all the time I taught it would be worth people posting videos or mentioning, where possible, their favourite Metallica track as covered by another artist. Even if you don't like the band, what song of theirs covered by another person, do you like?

I also felt this would encompass so much more then just Metallica and for that reason putting it in the super thread wasn't really appropriate.

and also love this, believe Danzig and Burton C Bell might have been the ones to collaborate on this, so it might not just be Fear Factory

I wasn't sure about this at first, but it grew on me

Also think the one Corey Taylor did was good too

I love Limp Bizkit's take on Sanitarium

Even tho' I'm not really a fan of BTBAM, this is probably my favourite cover of a Metallica song...

Whew, when I saw the title of this thread I thought all the answers were going to be Whisky in the Jar, am I the only Irishman who hates this song and hate it even more when Metallica sing it, they could have covered so many better Lizzy songs.

I love it because they only ever really play it in Dublin, and those gigs bring back great memories

Ah fair enough, I'm just saying that I've hated WITJ for many a year (loved it for a good few years) and Metallica could have covered a lot better Lizzy songs.
Sorry, don't mean to pull this off topic, this is about covers of Metallica songs

I'm with you, I could never get with the Metallica version except for the video with all the chicks. And yeah, I suppose even the Lizzy version doesn't exactly move me. I never understood the attraction Metallica had to that track of all the Lizzy tracks.
