Strophe, Antistrophe
— Monty

Metallica covering "Whiskey in the Jar" live in Dublin, and Pecker Dunne doing the same song in the traditional fashion. A peace offering to the tipplers among us.

1 Saw them in Toronto '86.  I don't like their music after they broke with Flemming Rasmussen.  To me their older (pre-black album) music was much better than what they're making these days.

2 Amen to that EC. Though I do enjoy parts of "Load" and the "S&M" album

3 Metallica's version always sounds to me as if they were performing it in a foreign language, phonetically.  It's like they have no clue whatsoever what any of these words mean, but by golly, they're going to break into this English-speaking market by emoting the heck out of this gibberish.

Like Celine Dion's early English-language work.

I find it difficult to believe that the lads of Metallica have never heard of this thing you people call "wee-skee." Or "jar."

Right on!

There's a noticeable change in their sound when Bob Rock came aboard and produced their next few albums.  It was a direction that I didn't care for when there was absolutely nothing wrong with their style before.

6 I like the Thin Lizzy  version, myself.  Presumably where Metallica got the idea from.

massive amounts of poteen will do that. And many other wondrous things.

 

my favorite version is actually "Whiskey you're the devil", by Liam Clancy. A line in it makes reference to 'whiskey in the jar'.

Anything after And Justice For All sucks.

But especially anything (like this) load and post load sucks irredeemably.

And this song in particular by the rapidly aging hard-pop-rock sellouts formerly known as Metallica, sucks in an undescribably major way.

In fact, do not even speak to me of there being some band called 'metallica' past 1989. I refute it. There was not.

13 I started listening to Metallica when I was 13 or so... whenever that was. Stopped after Black came out. "And Justice for All" is on very thin ice with me, but that might be because an ex-boyfriend played the hell out of that album and I got burned out. Badly.

And Justice for All has some badass songs on it - Shortest Straw, Frayed Ends of Sanity... but it's not as good on the whole as earlier albums.

Everything really went to straight shit starting with the Black Album.

At first, I thought the black album (while clearly being the worst and probably coming on the heals of the second worst) wasn't neccesssarily bad perse.

But watching where it's gone from there is so bad, so completely terrible, so insanely horrible, that I even swore off Kill 'em All for like 5 years out of pure disgust.

15 Their latest album, Death  Magnetic, kicks ass. Back to old school mostly.

I don't really believe you, but even if you're right, they're still decrepit old douchetools and about 4 albums (and 16 remastered remasters of said albums) late.

Screw em.

It's the only things scandis are good for anyway:

Besides.. they actually made an unforgiven III.

Because the first two times sucked so exquisitely they just had to suck some more.

Sounds like some inflated, some deep-seated anger issues.

Such a loss.

28 Metallica are cool and I've listened to a lot of their stuff (who hasn't?) but I don't think this tune really matches their sound. When it comes to Whiskey In The Jar, Pecker Dunne all the way!
