Some noteworthy covers of Metallica songs

Retains the spirit and nuances of the original song. Performed like they actually understood it.
 
 
 
 
Nothing beats the original Don't Tread On Me, but this puts a spin on it to make it worthwhile.


Suspect what Metallica actually had in mind was battering rams, but this was fun nevertheless.


Better make sure you whisper 'damage, inc.'.


Attempts to perform the 3 guitar parts on bass guitar.


Still not sure exactly what is going on here, but love it. He makes it sound like a sequel to The Call of Cthulu. Several covers and live versions of this piece trump the original.

 

Decent cover by a decent post-rock band:

 

For whom the Bell Tolls sounds so good in brass:


Mostly the samesy, but do like that little vocal madness in the middle.



Anyone who doesn't like cute is a weirdo.


Motorhead didn't make this song their own, it was made for Motorhead. I don't even like when Metallica perform it.

 

Nice take on Orion in the style of several bands.


If I don't mention the 'c' word (the 7 letter 'c' word, which starts with the same phonetically pronounced syllable as the 4 letter 'c' word), you might just enjoy it.


Criminally underviewed, unless deceptive. But I tend to believe what I am seeing.

 

Two covers of Sad But True, and I'm not even a particular fan of the song. And this cover is weaker, but it allows you to make an important connection: 1,000 years ago, had Metallica been around, this song would have surely been in Ghengis Khan's playlist. Maybe his #1 song. Definitely.


Master of Puppets a cappella:


I must admit, I prefer Nothing Else Matters when the sung parts are played by instruments. It's true beauty becomes apparent then. If women knew the true romantic meaning of the lyrics (about two soulmates being drawn to one another by living their own lives in purity of social pressures) they probably wouldn't regard this so often as 'dad music' either.

 
 

Medley with fire.
