I'll go even further: I think most of St. Anger is better than Whiskey In The Jar. That's how much I fucking hate that song.

I can't understand like 90% of the words in that song.

I'm okay with it, but that's mostly because I don't really like Thin Lizzy's version. Wouldn't call it amazing or anything.

I think I just don't like the song at all, but like, the fact that Whiskey in the Jar is one of Metallica's most listened to songs on Spotify? Like, what the actual fuck? They have such better songs.

I have simmilar feelings about Pearl Jam's cover of Last Kiss. That also fucking sucks, yet there's a bunch of people where that's somehow the only Pearl Jam song they know.

Metallica is the Dragonball Z of metal bands, don't think too hard about it.

Ehh, I'm okay with Last Kiss. Probably wouldn't make any custom playlists or anything, but it has novelty as a cover choice.

IMO, if you want a Metallica cover that doesn't even come close to the original, try Astronomy:

I don't really like it either. Just bleh. Their covers of Turn The Page and So What? aren't that great either. Hearing any of them just makes me wish I was listening to the original and I like Metallica.

Here's a potential hot take, The Memory Remains sucks ass

There was an old band from Ireland named the dubliners or something that did a great whiskey in the jar. Can't remember if that's their name

Say all you want about Whiskey in the Jar, but I'll legit fight you for this opinion.

Last Kiss is one of Pearl Jam's worst songs! Especially out of the popular ones!

lmao, it's your call my dude.

Pearl Jam's my all time favorite band, listened to all their albums a billion times. Last Kiss is not good IMO, you're not gonna convince me otherwise.

When did I bash Metallica? I love a fuck ton of their stuff, Whiskey In The Jar is just trash.

Also Pearl Jam > Soundgarden > AiC > Nirvana

Hell, I'd almost put STP over Nirvana. Nirvana is a great band, but people love to ride their dick way too much.

I'm a big fan of Metallica but I've gotta say that the whiskey in the jar cover was terrible. This is a good version (my parents had this album)
