I can't believe Metallica is going down here. I love this cover.

I love Metallica too, but Metallica post "...And Justice for All" - I just can't do it. James Hetfield has kind of annoyed me ever since the "Black Album". The way he ends every lyric with "- ah" grinds me.Tim wrote:I can't believe Metallica is going down here. I love this cover.

Most boring version of Whiskey in the Jar I've encountered.

Yeah, as I mentioned in another post, there are at least a dozen (probably a lot more) Metallica covers I would have personally chosen before this one. But...Fiona's version of "Across the Universe" has never done a thing for me. It's one of my favorite Beatles songs, and I actually love Fiona Apple, but to me this version is just so meh. I don't like it.

She does better covers, but they're comparably obscure. Too bad she rarely records, tours, or bothers to give a [expletive].Smith Corks One wrote:Fiona's version of "Across the Universe" has never done a thing for me.
