Metallica - Brothers In Arms (Live Oct 27, 2007)

[StephenFeinberg]

One word describing this 'cover': EARCANCER...

[skruad]

What the fuck!!! Dont ever do that again, guys!

[ShakkAzz]

to you people who call this crap and shit and so on, can't u try to cover the song and make it better, instead of mocking and talk shit??? idiots!!!

[Meripat]

@ShakkAzz Well they have a point

[schmoukiz]

It's the thought that counts :)) I admire the selecting of this song.

[TheRickJames09]

swear to god, i went to the trouble of trying to remember my account from last year, got my password reset and sent to me, went through so many annoying letter security checks, just so i could express my hatred for this song.

butchered. just butchered

[stronts76]

I'm not a great fan both of Metallica and Dire Straits...

This version is awful.

James sings out of tune all the song long...

[zShshha]

korn murdered dark side of the moon

[oldfunkymonkeysock]

@zShshha No. Another Brick in the Wall.

[zShshha]

whats wrong with it really

[mydecae]

this is heavy metal suicide

[Supreluud]

The worst cover ever made. Hands down.

[219Monster]

what went wrong?

[XRePete]

oh boy, i like metallica, but this sounds amateur as to me sorry. 6:14 is about the only part that sounded right lol. Great the original classic masterpiece is just a click away...

[paledaledeath]

vile.

[ImKevin15]

Certainly nothing wrong with this cover.

[jordancivic96]

i think they did a great job with this. its no dire straits, but its excellent, proving james can sing in many styles and ranges. really donn car what other people think. 2 each his own i guess

[TheDudeFromIstanbul]

Truly awful... Let me bid you farewell with this indeed, Metallicats. You are a band that can only play their own songs good and this is another good embodiment of this statement. Somebody buy that guitarist a bloody clip-on tuner by the way, Napster must have not paid the last instalment yet...

[masterbjohnson2]

Metalica, please... NEVER DO THIS AGAIN!

[1Siddhartha9]

no, ...Im sorry, ... nice try! But some songs shouldnt be covered, ... and this is one of the very few! Even when its as hard as anything! Again: a few songs must stand for itself! The motivation, the feelings, ... brothers i Arms ist for the ages by Knopfler, resp. DIRE STRAITS! Pure, no show, ...music!

[andnesterov]

This sounds ok.

[Trissie188]

It should be forbidden, Bands like Metallica covering the GREAT Mark Knopfler

[Tibbz2Tibbz]

I need an eardrum transplant.

[freestyletheone]

Why playing one of the few songs that MK plays with distortion...with an acoustic guitar??

Wrong choiche, Kirk&James...

[makaic17]

fuck u guys one bad song so what metallica fucking rocks



[spyrf7]

DAVE MUSTAINE UPLOADED THIS TO PROVE THAT METALLICA SUCKS

[Dominator5515]

@spyrf7

you suck you fat scum

[senhorronable]

Actually, I almost reported the video as inappropriate :-)

[wasp220]

@senhorronable hhhhhhhhhhhh right :DDDD

[senhorronable]

Some schoolbands do better... Terrible!

[dml74ns]

Tuckin Ferrible

[kitteninterrupted]

Before I heard this I thought that Metallica sucked. Now I KNOW that Metallica sucks.

[elvislives81677]

man. this is bad. really bad.

[REALwoombath]

My ears are bleeding...

[Dav2006pew]

You can't touch something that's pure gold

[Ali74]

Fair play to James for playing a classic tune he loves. 

[undertakerfreak1127]

Who said the point of a cover is to "make it better"?

Here I was thinking that you can't outdo the original. Idiots. Take this for what it is and leave it at that.

[jordancivic96]

@undertakerfreak1127 thank you. nice 2 c that theres at least 1 other person out there whos not ignorant or close minded

[Seanic14]

That's fucked, way to kill a great song, fucking Jesus, I like metallica and dire straits but fuck, they should stick to what their good at

[TheMorihate]

thats how to kill a song

[jun5ku]

Seriously.. metallica fucked this song up..

[garthnose]

love that this cover exists. get in!

[JimmyPage1123]

Love both Dire Straits and Metallica! this song,too!

[MrKuparinen85]

Hey guys, stop complain. Even Metallica have idols, and this is their way to show Knopler appreciation. All respect to Metallica

[mesiesta]

What the fuck...

[trancaholic0707]

metallica this song does NOT suit you!!!!

[DobermansRock]

Really? Why? You fucked it up. The job is to make it better.

[matc0]

LOVE IT!!

[blatimir]

F***ing horrific!!

Metallica has no business playing this kinds of legendary songs. Especially from bends who actually have real musicians (respect, Kirk Hammet) and singer (yeah, Hetfield)!!!

Finally DISBAND ALREADY!!! Happy 30th birthday, probably 15 or more too many!!!

[ramzyred]

this sucks



[jorisclijsters]

i love metallica but if this is the best cover anyone will ever do i again take my at off to dire straits!!!!!if this is as close as it gets dire straits will be legends far after i m gone

[spargelstecher666]

why should the four horsemen be ashamed?? for playing a great song? of corse the original is way better than this version but metallica is just covering that piece of art in their own way. i think they made a good job.

[RevFilmore]

@spargelstecher666

That's about a good job done as replacing a Playboy centerfold model with an orang utan with plastic tits strapped on

[Linkfriend]

Not bad but..

There´s not the emotion of a mark knopfler..

[RevFilmore]

Mark Knopfler would spin in his grave if he was dead.

[hotamohit]

@RevFilmore he must have spun in his live state anyway

[SurfGreenStrato]

I have great respect for Metallica, but when they did this.. .they should have got shot... Like, for real. Don't touch this song if you well, aren't Mark... and no matter how good Metallica is in the hardrock and ballad-department, they ain't no Mark. This is like Britney doing Nothing Else Matters or Elton John doing Master of Puppets. It just doesn't fit.

[33vada]

this cover is great.to me, by the way, whatever james hetfied touches turns into pure gold...love you James!love you metallica!

[EnolaGuys]

OMG, very wrong choice guys. You can't play every song you like. Knopfler forever.

[rugli]

@EnolaGuys So true!

[wasp220]

@EnolaGuys  looool agreeee

[knucklesandleeroy]

@EnolaGuys its a cover,and i think a v good one,cant name a better band to do it without raping the shit out of it. Can you?

[necroshyha]

FAYAHHHHH

[MassWisdom]

ya no, theres a special magic in the air when its played by dire straits, it just isnt there with metallica... it just ain't happenin'

[TheCharlie994]

Guys... Why Metallica cant play what they want? I absolutely agree with Rewq112. Remember, it is just cover! Metallica's cover! In Metallica's style. Listen and enjoy!

[HUCKEBUCKE]

listen to the day 2 version instead much better!! =)

[Rewq112]

What a fuck are you talking about?! Everybody knows, that nobody can play this song better than Dire Straits. Metallica just loves this song and feel the same thing that we do. That's the point.

[windomaker]

What the hell is this crap? ...

[bigozzyg]

Holy shit!

[nadodemerung]

Kirk didn't do his homework...

[hellisherable]

no one must EVER cover this Song. I hate metallica, and my hatred only got bigger.

[morleck2]

@hellisherable then why are you watchin them

[hellisherable]

@morleck2 your answer is so stupid.

[markrod1000]

i am one of the biggest metallica fans ever...........and i love dire straits !!!! this simply does not fit...............

[Kirkhammett3500]

They covered Dire Straits that shows a great respect for the Old School band , people appreciate it or NOT, that's NOT THEIR GOAL!

Metallica & D.Straits ♥ ♥ ♥

[Venom957]

I don't think any of you understand what a cover is. Metallica are not trying to better Dire Straits at all. Metallica clearly love Dire Straits enough to try to do a cover of this song, and as far as I'm concerned, this is great.

I can't believe you people..

[Tidessonable]

Ah come on, it's not that bad. Truly inspiring song, and a pretty decent version of it I thought, certainly listenable. It's just a bit weird hearing Hetfields twang, and the few deviations from the original track is all.

[stevieb19660]

This is the ultimate anti-war song. I dont care who sings it or how good or bad they do. I am a HUGE Dire Straits AND Metallica fan, all great musicians, just different.

[CoitzeYoCojones]

oh, come one, wtf is this? you might be singing great songs, but not that great...

[TheJeti1982]

Nobody can sing this song like Mark Knofler

[mdariotic]

Why do people have to compare versions and judge if one sucks? Can't we just say it is nice that a great band is admiring another great band?

[stevebarnes73]

@mdariotic because some times the original sometimes just cannot be topped not matter how big you are in your genre!!

[MrMasterful1]

@mdariotic

Two great bands but they're working out the chords as they're going along! It's really unpolished for a band of Metallicas standard.

[atma]

ahm, no no, it was an error to cover this song live... totally different tune, absolutely unfit to sing/play it... respect metallica but this sucks.

[LukaszVT40k]

Ugh.

[MrJuanBuzz]

I´m sorry, I´m a great fan of this band , Metallica really rules!, but... hell, this song can´t be covered, DS and MK forever!!!

[copymizer]

james actually has a good calm voice

[Equilibriumization]

Ржач 100%. The Metallica has shown the last. In 7 years now play better. Уж лучше бы не позорились.

[AnthologyOfDreams]

@Equilibriumization +1000 ))))

[ermark2]

Respect and tribute Ok. But musically far far behind from the original one. Everything about brothers in arms= Mark Knopfler.

[arikkrol]

Great interpretation!!

Great cover!!

Loved it!!

[bones2k]

Just have to say this record is shit without Mark Knopfler

[Thomhonor]

Allright, the version of Mark Knopfler is the best. But Mark Knopfler loved that his awesose song coverd was by many bands

[mrDarko94]

Oh my God,what the fuck you did with this classic,Hetfield??? You really have a terrible voice man...

[TheCatholicKid459]

I appreciate Metallica's appreciation of this classic, but it should have been left alone, this is one of those songs you just don't cover, for it has to be perfect to be any good.

[Miflletzet]

All the power and might of the original song is from the broken, soft voice of knopfler, and the spacial sound of his guitar.

Brothers in arms is very dificult song to cover - because its not just a metter of singing the lyrics and play the guitar.you have to transmit the whole feeling..

[69markmarky]

What A Let Down To Dire Straits, TOTAL SHIT.. Give It Up Metallica , It SUCKS you have wrecked a top top song.,. AWFULL..

[MrALF423]

This is horrible and says a lot about their musical baggage...

[StefanoLoriato]

versao perfeitaa!!!

[siddharthjoshi91]

compare the like-dislike ratio on this one to the one on Dire Straits' song.

[saoirseterri]

No I think they've lost the the feel of the song for some really nice guitar work, but what do I know, Knopfler was in Dublin recently [with Bob Dylan] and did a really nice version of it and the song was the imprortant thing the guitar break good and all as it was still just complimented it.

But as I said what do I know

[CroissantOrange]

A disservice to Mark

[themanfromconnemara]

I love this version. They Metallica-ised it.

[Metallicaownall]

Best version of this song, LOVE METALLICA<3

[andrefsferreira]

purists also said Hendrix couldn't be covered for he was a God and all

until SRV came and played Little Wing

everyone can be cover. As long they do it decently. Unfortunately here is not the case...

[abcdknebel]

love it !

[rumarami]

Why oh why?? If these guys just can hear what they are doing.. Awful.. and sad..

[irons666666]

hahahahah what the f==k is this,i thought they were a big rock band,now doing poor covers of great songs!

[Jaymzofsteel]

James sings it way better, he has way more power than the guy from dire, tho i like the dire versions guitar cause it is plugged in. id like to hear james and whoever from dire do a duo on this one

[vwbigdave]

What the F**k is this ?!!? LOVL. Dreadfull. Completely murdered.

[sgtMustash]

metallica is a good band but trying to make music like Dire Straits!?!?! nobody can't make music like Knopfler! this is the same as justin f*ckingbieber making a cover of Toto. its just horrable >.<

[Obligerad]

I´m sorry guys, but Metalliica should be ashaed for this.. Brothers in arm will always be property of Dire Straits!

[thankfullyhere]

@Obligerad Hey bud...nothin wrong with paying homage

[hyc1765]

straits songs belong to them no one else is half as talented so why bother mettalica are shit sorry but any one who likes this knows fuck all about anything just type in dire Straits Brothers in Arms you will find the real version :)

[hyc1765]

straits songs belong to them no one else is half as talented so why bother mettalica are shit sorry but any one who likes this knows fuck all about anything t

[tankman232]

wonderful. not sarcasm.

[requiemmariano]

Don´t like the song? don´t listen.

[Pandemoniumraser]

why? just tell me why did you had to ruin this masterpiece :/ a big part of me died when i heard this.

[orennayar]

No surprise. Metallica's been murdering their own classics too, for a long time. A shadow of once a great band.

[turtle343434]

crap.

big crap

big fucking shit

[MetalliK41]

This should be better, its true.. But guys.. Saying that things wont change anything.. There are bands who cover Metallica songs and it doesnt sound any good at all..Brothers in Arms is a very hard song to sing, for sure.. There are covers that shoudnt be done..

[albertotub]

MY GOD, SHAME ON YOU, METALLICA !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ProvGANG]

this sounds beautiful, not more than dire straits but it is okay, anyway you can see that here is more people who liked this,,,

[james30721]

Jesus Christ people! What the HELL is wrong with this song. It sounds good to me, but fuck, I guess the majority wins over the minority.

[AntoineHorns]

Metllica has always sucked on cover. This time it sounds like they did want to suck...

[Brakballe]

Sings like a seasick cow...

[leafsfourever]

Pretty lame for sure..

[neaionqwe]

Seems like is unplugged.....

[bmoviebloodbath]

Awful!

[kristofreynders]

ok that you hate ' lulu ' .. but this is GOLD !

[Petar269724]

ffs James, don't sing other bands songs

[TheCanadaGold2010]

What in the world has Mark Knopfler done to deserve this.

[fawadm123]

YEAHH SUCH FOOOOLLS ! LMFAO! whyyyy!? hetfield. please stick to what youre good at. please dont try to massacre music.

[TheKryptinen]

why all dislike this song .... ?

[SouthernBeast666]

You just can't play this,metallica.Sad but true.

[doos1342]

@SouthernBeast666 Fuck man this sucked such DOGBALLS. And I used to be a fan of Metallica, but they should be SHOT for raping this tune.

[SouthernBeast666]

@doos1342 it's all about knowin your limits.That was a good attempt,but they failed.No doubts Metallica is a great band,but they should just play their stuff,not uncomparable things.

[SCCH286]

Mourinho tiene una pregunta para mourinho: por qué? por qué?

[blastfromtheeast]

It takes a lot to piss me off this bad.

[knucklesandleeroy]

@blastfromtheeast i think its a fking awesome good try, the voice is superb!

[blastfromtheeast]

Where are the people 'who always hit the dislike button' when you need them?

[blastfromtheeast]

BENCHMARK for WORST EVER cover.

Metallica can be inducted in Rock & Roll Hall of Shame for this.

There should be a law banning doing covers after this. Metallica should have listened to 'The Spaghetti Incident?' before they ever do a cover again. Or maybe try out Vengaboys next time.

[feelgoodist]

Big fan of Metallica, but this is pants, vocal deliverd like some crap pub singer.

[Matthijs3476]

I don't like the way Hetfield sings. I think he totally fucked up this song

[vichganesh]

Cmon! You guys cant be that deft.

[raresdavid]

Mark Knopfer's version is beter but i like this one too... reminds me lot of things

[nauroticdax]

the problem is they are collectively used to playing heavy fast thrash metal...not classical slow etc

[Techno4yourhead]

@nauroticdax Dire Straits aint classical

[nauroticdax]

@Techno4yourhead but you still see my point no?

[szoko173]

what a shit;/

[bycullaboy651]

MY SERIOUS ADVICE TO MY METALLICA - PLEASE DONT EVER TRY THIS AGAIN...AND LET DIRE STRAITS HANDEL IT...

[Mylosh35]

Well, I just love Dire Straits. I love Metallica as well. But, this is horrible. Hats off, for covering this magnificent song. It means that they appreciate the real music. But, Mark is one of the kind and no one can cover him. No one. Cheers!

[angusg61]

I LOVE METALLICA BUT THEY RUINED IT !
