All these silly comments about who's came first, a quick ggole will tell you Metallica is doing a cover of Thin Lizzy's version from the 1970's. Stationary Willberries weren't even the first, I doubt any video here is the first, this song dates back to the 1700's, that's why it's a TRADITIONAL Folksong
Lol!! metallica were not the originals of whiskey in the jar. Its an old irish song. Which thin lizzy then took and modified it, and metallica later covered. But yeah I agree, metallicas version suits my taste the best :D
This is the best version of this song on YouTube, after The Dubliners version (which I've heard too many times). I'm sorry, but all the "rock" versions sound tragic. This is a folk song - you need to be a proper musician to bring it to life :)
Why there are so many DUMB comments? THIS IS THE ORIGINAL SONG A-HOLES! WHAT THE F* ITS YOUR PROBLEM?! READ THE FRIGGIN DESCRIPTION. METALLICA MADE A NEW VERSION, NOT THESE GUYS! F*CKING DUMB KIDS! Thank you.
the metallica version of this song is the piece of shit cage:P this is a folk song not some piece of shit song like most of the tunes metallica come up with
Hi! I am a teacher of English from Hungary. I have organised a small band in my schhool and we'd like to play Irish music. First of all I would like to have the students perform Whiskey in the Jar. My problem is that I cannot find scores. Could you help me in any way?
soo good!!!!!!!! :P
