this wasnt a folk song from hundreds of years ago , it was written by the dubliners , copied by thinn lizzy , and then copied again by metallica , and all the versions are good :)
@mrfenderbenderman , if the dubliners didnt, then who did ? , i know it wasn't phil lynot from thin lizzy , he came after the dublinners , another thing i love about this song is that anyone who has done a cover of it seams to do it a diffrent way , almost making it there own in a sence of the word
@mrfenderbenderman im still pretty sure it was the dublinners , im from dublin ireland , and i,ve always grown up being told it was the dublinners , but there are some little hints that suggest the song may have come from the 18th century but as far as i or any1 else i know that lives in ireland , the orriginal was by the dublinners
@Thunderboltvulpoon it wasn't, check any sources, dubliners did make it famous though, im from mayo and everyone here knows that its an old folk song, its not a little hint that the song was written during the time it describes,
@mrfenderbenderman ok, i concede that it more then likely wasnt the dubliners, but from the sources i have found , they claim it to be from the 18th century , not the 16th ,
But i was only talking about covers. It's like: "humm, this song doesn't belong to us, but let's turn it into a golden nugget !". They're so fucking awesome.
look how hard this beiber fan augie tried to make metallica look bad.......for one, its not fair for metallica to not be told their songs were being used without their permission, so it should never have happened anyways. 2nd, that kid probably could care less and he wasnt sued dumbass THE COMPANY WAS, that kid probably still is a fan. and 3rd..........its not right for you to blame someone when what WAS done was right......and it wasnt fair the cheap condom broke either but o well
listening to this while shooting some johnny walker black label. you really start to feel what this song is all about and why it has been remade by the likes of thin lizzy and metallica
Technically, this song is a cover of Thin Lizzy's WITJ because even though this song is an old Irish tune,Thin Lizzy modified the lyrics(nobody knows the exact lyrics for sure)and Metallica used Thin Lizzy's same lyrics...Anyways both versions are great!
@Andokai92 hell yeah it is im from holland i love this song whit a 10 bottels of heineken beer5 glasses of malibu cola ans 2 or 3 snorts of cocaine thats holland going to work tuesday
@Queentallicamaiden i know how dumb can dirtyanimal80 be? is he honestly saying diamond head was a good band? lol i wouldn't like the song am i evil if it wasn't for hetfield
Musha ring um a do um a da" is very very similar sounding to these Irish words:
Musha => M'uishe (my whiskey) ring um a => rinne me/ (rinne = past tense of "de/an" which is "do, make,perform, carry out, commit, turn out, reach, establish"; me/ = "I, me") do => don (from "do" + "an" = "to the, for the") um a da => amada/n (fool) . in other word "whiskey made me the fool" i found it on answers dot com lol
@dawala1000 I know this is probably wrong but I saw on a lyrics site that the lyrics to this part for Metallica's version is "I shout ram-bada-dooda-ba-da." ?
Originally this song was a traditional irish song, the dubliners redid it changing some of the lyrics, and then thin lizzy redid it again with more lyrical changes. Metallica used the thin lizzy version, like madden down there said.
These guys know who is all good. Thin Lizzy and Blue Oyster Cult were, no, still are, great bands. I don't think I'll ever lose interest in this genre of music, unlike Pop. That's why I like Metallica.
Pwning music in> Inspiration for a band> Pwning music made
originally done by thin Lizzy my ass, its an Irish folk song. before thin Lizzy did it then Dubliners did it. nobody can claim the rights to it because its a folk song.
It was used first as the irish folk song, and after that it was used as a folk song in the civil war.
can't beleave it either, i know someone who dislikes that song, but i really can't understand why!!! think that's the same as with all those gangstarappers... some people like them, and I (and not only i) FUCKING HATE THEM!!!
sorry to say that, but this is at least real music and it needs talented guys to play something like that!
5:20! It's like 4:20 but, with an extra hour to get smoked up and listen to this kick ass fuckin' song! METALLICA RULES ALL!!!!!!
