Metallica - whiskey in the jar + Lyrics

[1976Stratomaster]

this is not metallica any more, hasn't been for a very long time

[GhostBusterTrace]

I much prefer an irish accent singing this song than a forced american one ;-)

[GhostBusterTrace]

Much better sung by Lynott. Its an irish song and sounds better wiht an irish accent. And its "the devil he may take yer not ya lol"

[cillers4567]

@Antifaith29 haha yeah that guy's definitely an American wannabe :L and I'd like to speak for the Irish people, when I say that we don't care if you had an Irish grandparent...every American we meet claims to be Irish in one form or another :) lol

[beatles271]

this is nothing but terrible.Have they no soul?

[xenophonon123]

yikes...pee on his leg......he'll never notice, the stupid dweeb.

Then tap on his shoulder and point to the guy to his left. Laugh heartily and punch him hard in the braces.

[Izzycuddles09]

also can,t compare Apples and oranges.

[samppa199]

@Izzycuddles09 right! :)

[Izzycuddles09]

I like it and I,m Irish.

[Antifaith29]

@Izzycuddles09 Irish Irish or that anoying American that says theyre irish, Irish?

Genuine question from an Anoying Australian who says he's irish because my granfather was ;) lol

[Izzycuddles09]

@Antifaith29 My grandmother was..your anoying yourself.letting stupid stuff upset you.

[Antifaith29]

@Izzycuddles09 Hardly.

[SauceJohnsson]

This is just terrible .... sad but true.

[MegaAxel300]

why is it worser than the irish version? cuz its an IRISH SONG, NOT A ROCK SONG!!!!!!!

don't ruin the song, please

[samppa199]

@MegaAxel300 so you cant compare metallica's version on original one, like you cant compare metal and rap, right? I think that they are just two different songs :)

[68blues]

Go ahead!

[Xenodemic]

Any version not played with traditional instruments is a cover of the Thin Lizzy song.

Metallica's intention was to cover Thin Lizzy, they did so badly.. they fucked up this song. Leave it alone unless you are Irish, or you will end up with a piece of shit like this song

[docmartin63]

nice music

[hawkinscraig05]

Great song ruined

[123silvercrest]

I LOVE Metallica ! But i do think that they ruined this song in his cover, gary moore did a great cover with eric bell, that in my opinion is the best cover of this song ever made.

[68django]

Always liked this version, This and Thin Lizzy.

[jtimm121]

ozzy



[thamesclipper]

been a Lizzy fan since I was knee high to a grasshopper, but this thing totally rocks; for the people splitting hairs about the authenticity of the lyrics, it's a folk song, the Lizzy "original" bears no resemblance to traditional versions of the song, this version is almost verbatim to the Lizzy take, stop being anal, just enjoy it, I did,and I never thought I would

[discomadame]

I love this version. So glad they covered it. Love the dead's pretty version too, and of course Lizzy's

[tsm767]

Meh, I like the Dead's more.

[justinc71]

Thin Lizzy's 'original' version is great, but I love the heavy hit of Metallica's version as well. It's a great song, let's just agree to that and enjoy it :)

[LivonianKnight]

This is either a major variation to the song or the lyrics are way off, lol.

[james91971]

this one of my fav song to i love it the beat is good n the guiatar tht is basicly wat i look for in heavy metal :D ;)

[betabersker]

@04jhayes GOOD*

[betabersker]

@04jhayes personaly i think that it is a preaty god cover, the reason why they didnt do the way thin lizzy does theirs is because this is a meatel band and they wanted it to have a metal feel. anyways if you here a cover that sounds the same, whats the point of listening to the cover of it...

[04jhayes]

this is an awful cover to makes worse these guys aren't irish thin lizzy does a much better job than metallica and they even kept the irish sound to it aswell

[jagair]

I liked that 1...

[Mowogjones]

Original is better...

[samppa199]

@Mowogjones there's not "original" whiskey in the jar.. it's an Irish song that have been played hundred years without an actual song writer or player

[MaxGauthierguitar]

@samppa199 some one had to write it :P

[samppa199]

@MaxGauthierguitar Yeah, but point is that no one will ever know who ;)

[eldeano1]

@samppa199 it was me, I scribbled it onto a napkin in a irish pub and guess I just left it on the bar..

[Cheesebonerable]

@samppa199 Fine.. The greatful dead one ( which was before this) was is better.

[MarcosHendrix]

@samppa199 Yes, but the lyrics, chords and the solo are from the Thin Lizzy version, however this version of Metallica is pretty brutal!!

[dabraq]

@samppa199 But the "original" is better. anyway:D

[rudedude68]

@Mowogjones Yeah and the riff is stolen from Thin Lizzy

[sammmiehunter]

@Mowogjones This is awesome... I sing it in karaoke... who cares about the Original... just like who cares about who made the sliced bread. This is the best version out there.

[Hyppija]

W00T metallica for ever!!!!!!!!!!
