  • SUUUUUUPER

  • RESPECT TO IRISH!!!!

  • mettallica ripped these guys off big time

  • @MrAxekiller58 Metallica didn't rip anyone off. They did it as a tribute to Thin Lizzy on their tribute (covers) album. Moron. Besides, this is very old folk song with HUNDREDS of different variations dating back decades before Thin Lizzy, Grateful Dead or Dubliners performed it.

  • @bufddymike Well...The original ballad did not include that smashing riff and solo which were copied by metallica . So yes, they ripped them off.

  • @MrAxekiller58 Twwwwaaaatttttt

  • Didnt know Obama was also a singer ...

  • @Pawelec801 Are you some kind of a moron ?

    Phil Lynnot is a bloody legend, if you don't know him please don't post this kind of shit.

  • @Pawelec801 DON'T EVEN TRY TO COMPARE THAT IDIOT TO PHIL LYNNOT!!!!

  • @Pawelec801 hahahahahahaaaaa...funny....bu­t phil deserves all the respect man!!!!

  • the best version...with brian on drums, the great eric bell on lead...and you know who...

  • Phil Lynot singing . Gary Moore's bandmate and good friends . Rest In Peace to both of you . Aye

  • Reggie Miller with an afro

  • what a great classic !

  • akár most itt magyarhonban is jó, szuper jó zene:)

  • Is this a Bob Seger son, isn't it...

  • Wot a fucking intro RIP Phil

  • love it

    

  • This is the Shit!!!

  • @ Jackjack......pfffffffffffffff­ffffffffff...no its not!!!!

  • god save thin lizzy !!

    metallica got inspired in you!!! tthat's the reason enougth for respect these guys !!!

  • @mistomen I guess you must really like shitty mainstream music of today that is dominated by a certain kid I won't mention and a certain she-male I won't mention.

  • @Soldier1287 You Metallica fans have a great sense of humour. I guess it's a must if you are a fan of those sellout, corporate rock whores who try to take people to court for downloading their music, even though they are all multimillionaires. They lost all their cred with a lot of fans on that one, soldier.

  • metallicas version is good but this is better

  • @steve9893 way better some ass in my band wants to cover metallica's version there will be problems

  • @steve9893 duh!

  • this cover is good, and yes i said cover because this song is about as old as grandfather time

  • For anybody out there who does nt know, THIS IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ,nobody knows where it came from but what we do know is that its an old irish folk song which is why the metallica version will always suck balls.I dont mind metallica, especially the older stuff but come on now, whiskey in the jar,kind of trying to play a dance tune on the bag pipes

  • metallica never made an album as good as vagabons of the western world.

  • personally I like metallica's version better,don't really like the original

  • @NGxGhostZ Metallica completely misses the point of the song - much like they missed the point of everything untill their careers collapsed and they had to jump on every bandwagon they distained just to maintain their mega-star lifestyles.

    Well, that's done and gone.

  • @garcemac You hit the nail right on the head.

  • Comment removed

  • horrible sound

  • there is something about irish folk songs, especially when some1 comes and changes their style for even the younger generation to enjoy, thin lizzy, metallica for example of this song...nice work i love it...

  • It´s great!!!!!!!

  • Close @bluenosemilly - Phil was actually born in West Brom!

  • nice2~

  • where'd his mustache go?

  • bet you didnt know Phil was born in Birmingham UK

  • yes i am aware of that now. since you are the FOURTH PERSON TO TELL ME THAT!

  • MUSH-A-RING-DUM-A-DOO-DUM-A-DA­A!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Phil has such soul, and was a real rocker too. How anyone could call Lizzy's best stuff cheesy is beyond me. Saw 'em in' 76 on the JTF tour & it remains the best gig I ever saw - even better than Springsteen at his peak. Metallica? Good God!- but there's no accounting for taste I suppose. Poor benighted souls :)

  • @MrDbressler Nobody knows who wrote the original, this tune is even older than the Dubs.

  • @66BranDo  For real MrDbressler. I mean who uses rapiers these days ??? So yea the Dubliners did not do the orginal version. This song was written back in the 17 or 18 century so there you go.

  • Comment removed

  • Good song also nice but i still like Metallica more.

  • what a song an irish legend very few bands can hold a candle to the lizzy

  • I think the Dubliners did a good version of the original.

  • nice art deco microphones here

  • its a traditional irish piece,first recorded by luke kelly,neither metallica or thin lizzy have a patch on the traditional version,it is not a metal or rock song,you cant hear the real beauty of the song in the metallica version,because it has been murdered,luke kelly is the bench mark for this song

  • lizzy rock

  • i love their guitars n music.... such an underrated band, even when many bestselling and commercial (but once ago great bands) turned very inspired by this... Long live Thin Lizzy

  • I like this remake version Thin Lizzy did along along with Metallica's version as well. My favorite however will always be the original by The Dubliners. When you start with a great song it is hard to go wrong unless someone intentionally butchers it.

  • Why are we forced to watch an advert about shitty r&b music when we're all Lizzy fans? It's like showing adverts about cat shit fritters to Michelin star chefs.

  • his voice!

  • Metallica is a million times better =_=

  • @krycklund , damnmed, there is even a thousand years younger!

  • @krycklund es mas viejo idiota metallica hizo un cover

  • I love when an N-Dubz advert comes up before this song -_-.

  • me gusta mas la version de metallica  yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaah

  • however whenever whatsoever peoples cover any songs..

    im always respect the original song..

    coz thats where its came from..

  • metallica is better

    

  • in 1973 music instruments were already soo hi-tech ?

  • Fucking ace song so much better then Metallica's version

  • Yeah, it's a traditional Irish song. But to me, it's kind of like Jimi Hendrix covering "All along the watchtower" which to me, blows away the primitive original by Bob Dylan. I guarantee the old timey original did not feature Les Pauls plugged into Marshall stacks.

  • This is great, but Thin Lizzy didn't write this. It's a traditional Irish folk song. From Wikipedia: "It has been recorded by numerous professional artists since the 1950s." Still a great version though!

  • i'm a hardcore metallica fan. i think that metallica's cover is awesome. but there's nothing like the original.

  • @SuperDon1214 then go hear the dubliners version....

  • @SuperDon1214 This isnt the original, the orginal was the Dubliners, than Thin Lizzy covered it, than Metallica

  • @MrDbressler Ah thank you for the information good man. I hate to be ill-informed. Gotta get my fuckin facts straight homie.

  • @MrDbressler the original wasn't the dubliners!!! it is an old irish folk song that has been passed down from generation to generation

  • @MrDbressler almost.. Dubliners played the first widely recognized version but no one knows who actually wrote it

  • @kooccela , this is actually an old Irish folk song that they turned into a rock tune. Unsure of the original songwriter(s)

  • @kooccela its irish folk

  • @kooccela THINK ABOU IT-----GENERATIONS

  • @kooccela It's an old Irish folk ballad so it could be at least 450 years old or more

  • @SuperDon1214 sorry but this is not the original

  • @gazelasoad fucking a read the comments!! you are like the third douche bag to tell me this!. I was misinformed. shit man

  • @SuperDon1214 Actually it's an Irish drinking song and Thin Lizzy is not the band that did the original song adaption. Don't get me wrong I love the song but it can't be called an original since the original is likely atl east 300 years old.

  • @SuperDon1214 The original.... It's an Irish folk song.

  • @nikko97144 dude your the fifth person to tell me that. read the fucking comments retard.

  • @SuperDon1214 There are a lot of people that think this is the original, but I thought I would be the only one to tell you.

  • @SuperDon1214 metallica is my favorite band but i think thin lizzys version was better but thin lizzy is a great band pity it didnt last long R.I.P PHIL LINNET 

  • @SuperDon1214 only one thing, this isn't the original. This song has been around since the 17Th century, its an old Irish folk song.

  • @woundsofthefallen bet it didn't sound like this is the 17th century!

  • @SuperDon1214

    this isnt the original its a traditional irish song. the most commonly recognized versions is the dubliners

  • @voschezang11 you are number 8

  • how did it it come to this?

  • @Josh26Indy I don't rely on the radio to affirm what is considered worthy of listening to. I'd wait all day for them to play something I dug. Radio has sucked so that's why there is I-Tunes, Pandora & XM radio. Let's see Metallica try to duplicate some of the dual lead guitar sound that TL produced, and without overdubs.

  • @hanksta34 I dont rely on the radio to affirm what is good either... (however it will reflect what is popular) & if that is what you got from my comment... you should reread it. And Im certain Metallica can easily duplicate anything playable on a guitar.

  • By reading a few of the comments on this page is sounds like there are a lot of folks who'd like to give more props to Metallica than Thin Lizzy for this song. I'll say that Metallica has for the most part sucked ass since the release of the 'Black Album'. I'm 34, and I'll say that I'd take Thin Lizzy's version over Metallica's attempt at relevance any day.

  • @chinaob Well i do agree that Metallica has sucked since the Black Album... with 2 exceptions... Whiskey in the Jar... & King Nothing..... Personally i don't care for the rest on their newer stuff... However my original point was about 1 song... not their attempt at relevance as you put it... and i don't think their releasing this song was an attempt to be relevant... that doesn't make any sense.

  • Rest in peace Phil.

  • This is a shortened version recorded for TV, the second part of the solo is missing. The original recording is better. Metallica has the spirit but misses the nuances of the song. And if you call that pinchin' a loaf, bucket of gravel voice better than Lynott's?

  • @hanksta34 Yes. I think its better, and so do Millions of others around the world. & to be honest its not the voice as much as it is, as you said..."The Spirit". Sorry but Lizzy doesnt have it. I mean C'mon, Metallica doesnt remake GNR songs... or Ozzy songs... they redid this song because it was a good song to do... but also because most young people today hadnt heard it... & if the Lizzy version had more "Spirit" it would be played on radio not obscure & Metallica never would have touched it.

  • @Josh26Indy Thin Lizzy are best known for their songs "Whiskey in the Jar", "Jailbreak" and "The Boys Are Back in Town", all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations.

    What was deemed "Spirit" in 1973 is a different passion in the current venue. Apples to Oranges my friend. I like the rocking power of Mettalicas version but I like the bluesy feel of Thin Lizzys as well... Check out "Ace of Spades" and Lemmy if ya wanna rock ol skewl..

  • Comment removed

  • @Josh26Indy the only crappy and cheesy thing is your childish "I don't owe anyone respect" attitude. If you like any kind of music you have to respect your elders because I don't see you out there inspiring people. One day when your life is in the can and you've finished a bottle of whiskey on your own, maybe you'll come back to song and realise that it rocks like the ice in whiskey. Otherwise there's some delightfully shit crunkcore waiting for you on the otherside of the inter-noodle.

  • @SudoMade Ohh where to start... I dont owe any respect to these people & you havent given any reason why I should. I dont have to respect people who are older than me simply because they are older than me...that is just stupid. And if a song is good youl know it right off the bat... it wont take letting your life go to shit to realise it. & if you wanna make up words like crunkcore & internoodle than it shows what a moron fuck you really are.

  • @Josh26Indy you suck

  • @MissMiniBrown Fuck you..

  • Comment removed

  • hey fucking rookies!! It's legitimate if you say that you like more the Metallica version. No one argue with tastes. But you owe some respect to this band. And if you don't even know who they are, go home and study. And cut down the bullshits.

  • @magabastardo I dont owe any respect to this group. And studying their music more wouldn't change the fact that I still think they suck. In fact i looked up some of thier other songs... just to be fair about it & they were all crappy cheesy mellow 70s songs... So why is it again i should show them respect ???

  • @Josh26Indy Go fuck yourself then...

  • @RobieGate7 Or maybe I could just go Fuck your Mom instead.

  • 31 dislikes??? Hunt 'em down like dogs!

  • Quality version, cheers, Love the Lizzy.

  • R I P One of the true rock legends

  • i'm the 777,777 viewer ; )

  • this sucks...

  • Epic song is epic.

  • good un

  • I think i prefer this version over the metallica ver$ion.

  • @spiderman97828 of course you do.

  • @spiderman97828 of course you do, this is the real stuff!!

  • love it,,, thank you! xxxx

  • 22 Years before i was born, i would give so much to see this...

  • Seen these guys open up for Queen in Philadelphia Civic Center .....

    Thanks For The Video

    The Beatle Man's " A Blast From your Past "

  • @ABlastFromYourPast Wow, I would do anything to have been able to see both those bands.  I hope you realize how lucky you are! (I'm sure you do) :)

  • I didn't know they spelled it like that! You are a real Metallica fan! LOL! Does those sellout, corporate rock whores still try to stop people from downloading their music even though they are all multi-millionaires? Metallica sucks and their fans are morons. Just look below for proof!

  • @mistomen you're right!! there's no soul on metallica version! this is my opinion!

  • @mistomen Just because a band you like ripped off a song from a different band doesn't give you the right to disrespect the band who made the original. If anyone is an idiot it's you.

  • @mistomen Oh yeah, Metallica sucks cuz you say so, right. Opinions are relative, and you're not less of a moron for bashing other bands just because you dont like them. Grow up, peace.

  • METILLICA'S COVER IT TEN TIMES BETTER THEN THIS FUCKED UP SHIT!!!

  • @xxskippyxx86 agreed

  • Muhtallika took it to a new high

  • 29 Irishmen HATE Metallica....

  • This is real soulful magic unlike that tripe horseshite version by Muttalicka.

  • great....

  • Who's playing bass?

  • @mooghead Phil Lynnott?

  • @fbendz Suggest you watch again.... Lynott is playing a 6 string...

  • fck!!! i like it!!!

  • Cool stuff!!! Metallica is more powerful, but this is more epic!! FETT ;)

  • classic tune

  • Year I was born.

  • FANTASTIC GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN ROCK ON PATRICK BURNS IRELAND

  • Affengeiler Song !!! Das war meine Zeit 

  • Guitar work in this version is great, any idiot can crank the gain and play fast, this is true muscicianship

  • Fck metallica's cover; this is where itz at..

  • @makemeateeshirt You really don't think Metallica's version was any good? Do you like any Metallica or just more so their version of this song?

  • @makemeateeshirt you gotta be kidding me... this is so fucking lame

  • @Josh26Indy its a good thing no one cares what you thinks, thin lizzy is the best, everyone knows that

  • @jmoney31705 Ok realistically Thin Lizzy is lame & weak in comparison to Metallica. In 1973 Maybe they were cool I have no idea. But if you took a million people & asked whose version was better Metallica would win hands down. Wake up... go look at the "like dislike" ratios between any Metallica version & any thin Lizzy version

    or the Total Number of Views of either version Its a Clear Fact that the Metallica version is Overwhelmingly Preferred. Sorry its just the truth.

  • @Josh26Indy and you're still a dumb fuckin 22 year old that doesnt know shit except for sellout bands, go listen to kings of leon records you dumb fuck,you white trash whore mother should have scraped you out of her cunt

  • @jmoney31705 Fuck you you ignorant dickless piece of shit... whats the matter you don't like someone insulting your fag music.... Then dont listen to FAG music... What the matter FAG you dont have any facts to present so you start your insults...

  • @jmoney31705 Now to be fair Kings of Leon had 3 great albums before getting sucked in the black hole of radio success records. PS - Lizzy kicks ass.

  • @Josh26Indy get the fuck off a lizzy viedo talking shit about it you dumb radio brainwashed fool that dopesnt know about real music

  • @jmoney31705 Let the troll twat think what he likes, but this is definately a better version than that Metallica crock of shite, and this is coming from a 19 year old so it's not all about age.

  • @jmoney31705 Im not going anywhere BITCH... Ill be posting about your favorite FAG video everyday.

  • @makemeateeshirt humm... well even though I somewhat agree with you. It's not Thin Lizzy's song & Metallica gives credit to Thin Lizzy in live performances out of admiration. That said... I DONT GIVE A FLYING FCK WHO COVERS IT... theres whiskey in the jar.

  • Love Metallica but there version sucks, Thin Lizzys is so much better, I think Metallicas is shit

  • dubliners piss all over both craptallica's version and this one, this one is still hugely superior to shittallica's though

  • Metallica's tunes are better.. not the vocals though

  • I love this song.

  • Thin Lizzy's is the best version! nuff said!

  • damn Metallica make this so fucking much better!

  • @deadbullyzm Bullshit, Metallica's is definitely different but this is how the song should be covered, by an IRISH band

  • @HordeFTL too true this THE version,no one,alive or dead could beat phils vocals or lizzy`s music

  • Never seen Phil with the baby-face.

  • Brian Downey was good.... more than good.

    A very excellent beat-keeper plus nfact.

  • einfach schön : )))))))))))))))))))

  • @punkassjohni89 FYI The Dubliners are NOT 450 years old!

  • Vide S.O.A.D.

  • What does it matter if you think Metallicas' version is better or not. Thin Lizzy is the real deal, they were not just a metal band, they were multi-dimensional, they had country, folk, soul,funk,new wave, soft rock, hard rock and yessss, even metal songs in their catalogue.A tip of the hat from Metallica is appreciated, but Lizzy was way more than just a metal band.

  • @mistomen Yeah Real metal... Dipshit.

  • @tryggjo Does Metallica still try to stop people from downloading their stuff even though they are all multimillionaires? Thats real metal. Try sellout corporate rock whores.
