Who cares if they did use the Nigger word, fucking politically correct arseholes. Blacks use "honky" and "cracker" all the fucking time. Bloody white coolies!
metallica who?? this song and band blow away anything metallica will ever accomplish. And besides that's a snare drum and there's a bass..This is how metal is played metallica.....
@jeriryan wtf would you know about anything about belfast ,the northern irish were defo not racist you fool.My ultimate hero was and still is phil lynott.ive never heard so much shit in all my life and stop potraying us in a bad light.Your from america youve the cheek to accuse any one of being racist .There was never whites only signs in belast NEVER!!!!!!! .plus the orgional inhabitants of america yous killed and shoved off to reservations big deal , no tax .You still stole there country
It is ironic that people never learn about history and it repeats over and over again. The British move into North America and drive out the natives (French and Spanish helped as well) meanwhile the British are doing the same thing in Ireland. The confiscation of land for the plantations in N. Ireland and then not giving it back caused the Troubles. I live in America and my family (and most of my towns ancestors) moved here when their land was confiscated in N. Ireland.
@rufus566 Your info about n ireland is way wrong buddy the troubles had nothing to do with the british plantation owners that was the easter rising 2 totally seperate things
Easter Rising of 1916? While the War for Independence did lead to the Free State agreement creating Northern Ireland as a British state apart from the future southern republic, it was the 16th - 17th century plantation of Ireland (mostly Munster and Ulster) by the English and lowland Scots that caused the Troubles in the 20th century. Unionist Anglicans (Church of England) trace their lineage to the British population that supplanted the Irish. IRA wants them out...
This was the best song that they did we played the shit out of this when Me and my hoard of Vikings partied till dawn with James, Lars and Cliff way back in 1981-1984!!!!
@disturbedspike i aint knocking it! its a good song i just think metallica's has a bigger better guitar sound! although sweeeeet savage's 96 version sounds better than the original.
@OldManPoopOrgy I didn't mean your grammar stupid, I meant that in the part 1:16 I can't hear the word "nigga" at all, even checked the lyrics. But in 1:19 I can hear the word "nigga" too. According to lyris he doesn't say "nigga" though.. Anyways I think apologies from me is in place (:
Metallica fans are the biggest tools there are! One clown here wrote that they wished Metallica had covered it back in 86 so Cliff would have been on bass! Like it would have sounded any fuckin different. Fuck all! They covered it to BEGIN WITH!
I wish Metallica never covered Killing Time, the amount of ignorant wankers that come on here either saying that their cover is better or compare them to some other big name heavy metal band (however different aesthetically they are) can be really annoying.
P.S. NoiseFilthFury, your channel is great. Got anymore hidden N.W.O.B.H.M. treasure videos to upload? Love the Warefare, Saracen, Avenger etc videos you uploaded!
Not bad, but I like the Metallica version more because I think they did an Excellent re-do of the solo in this song; Bitchin solo, one of the best I have to say :D
What utter bollocks jeriryan!!!! In reference to..." In the 80's Irish metal fans did not like black people very much so the word NIGGER was not a problem for them. It was perfectly natural for those working class northern Irish youth to be racist." Naturally racist!! now thats a good example of bigotry, for f**k sake come on!!
The singer CLEARLY sings "NIGGER kid". Of coarse Metallica changed it for their cover version of it but the original so obviously sings the word NIGGER. In the 80's Irish metal fans did not like black people very much so the word NIGGER was not a problem for them. It was perfectly natural for those working class northern Irish youth to be racist.

@jeriryan Your talking some serious shite there........you would have been lucky to have even seen a black person in the early 80s in Belfast........oh look Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy.....a black man....irish metal/rock fans loved him,the black thing wasn't an issue at all........ i think it you americans are the experts in being racist.
I love how everyone is fighting over who's better Def Leppard or Metallica or Van Halen,etc.
Honestly, I'm a huge fan of all three,
but thats not the point here.
Why are you talking about those bands on this video? We should all just appreciate the amazing piece of work we have right in front of us. So please, save it for the videos of metallica or something.
Real fans, who are commenting and watching this video for the music, DON'T wanna hear it.
first i dont have 17 also i didnt said they were the only band to sold themselves but i think a lot of people would agree that today metallica fans most are posers im from mexico and here every shit who wants to hear "metal" thinks metallica is the best and i also know metallica was a pretty fucking blow balls band but they started changign a lot since hair/glam metal was becoming more popular they got kind of softly and this is my opinion i dont care if you agree or not i have 13 26/01/10
Metallica's thrash metal (the earlier stuff) was made in reaction of the glam/hair metal music so it's absolutly not the reason why they became softer as you say. So next time make your research before talking about something you don't know
and one more thing - you REALLY believe that Metallica is the only metal band that sold itself? if so then we have nothing to talk about cause you know shit and you`re blind as fuck.
metallica sucks and i have a fact the had sold themselves like a fucking whore :) and their music suck and they are a fucking band who survives today just only by posers
you suck a cock little bitch. i don`t give a fuck if you like them or not but Metallica was one of the bands that started thrash metal so have some fucking respect just for this fact. i wonder how many of their albums did you actually hear. but hell, you`re just a 17yo kid! so i shoouldn`t blame you for talking shit... but please, name some better bands, i`m eager to read their names.
it's so strange that everyone is talking about Def Leppard or other bands while overlooking Sweet Savage's masterpiece of antiwar song.
I heard a lot of cheesy antiwar song with some very unoriginal and cliche lyrics, but Sweet Savage is able to come up with something original and gives us a perspective on the soldier. Great lyrics with some cool music and vocals.
James's vocals destroys the original's one without even noticing. Even if the other instruments here were better (which is hard to determine, because the sound quality makes it much more difficult to notice everything), I prefer Metallica's, because the original vocals are annoying to listen to, while James's are simply awesome all the time.
I'll settle this little dispute - yes Vivian Campbell sold out.
Anything post -On Through the Night Def Leppard sucks.
Heaven and Hell is a Black Sabbath album with Ronnie James Dio on it but not Vivian Campbell (he was in "Dio" with Ronnie) who I thought was the connection was originally based on? - Great album none the less.
Richie Blackmore? (Yes I know and love him)
But seriously? Richie Blackmore? how does he come into this? Because he was in Rainbow with Dio?
You mean...He wanted to play music for a living instead of sitting behind a desk like some shit head, selling insurance....DARN him!!!!. Yep...thats some sell-out.....Lets be honest....No ones making a living playing this shit all the time.....Do I wanna fuck ALL the time with the opportunity to fuck an especially hot chick every now and again...OR do I wanna fuck an especially hot chick once every 25 years, and be celibate all the other days in between....Hhmmmm, lemme see
I woudnt say he sold out, he just grew up I guess. He claims he prefers the bluesier sound over the metal sound that he did back then. He's still a good player though
You dont think going to Def Leppard is selling out? there's no way he plays as complicated/intricate riffs as he did with dio/sweet savage. Why would he join if he has an easier job you might ask? MONEY. Besides anyone who prefers Def Leppard to DIO should be booked into an insane asylum.
Well I like Def Leppard but I like Dio too, or his earlier stuff. But you cant deny back in the early days Def Leppard was a heavy metal band. They havent done that in a while, but it would be nice to see them go back to it.
earlier stuff? nothing is wrong with heaven and hell man! that's better than Leppard ever was. Forget Campbell for a second, and listen to some Blackmore. Another sold out guitarist for dio. He's my favorite guitarist, and when he was in Rainbow was some really great stuff.
no doubt heaven and hell is a really good song, I can listen to it all day. Also I'll admit its better than anything Def Leppard has put out recently. As far as Blackmore goes he was one of the greatest, not my favorite guitarist ever but he was one of the best no denying it.
I guess its pretty clear that you dont know a single thing. While I do like Def Leppard, I also like the other bands like Dio, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Van Halen, Ozzy and the like. But I guess thats really not the issue here. Your to busy trying to bash Def Leppard and you have no real facts to back up your statements. I guess you've never listened to there first two albums. I dont even know why I'm debating this with you because you seem unable to have a debate without trying to run people down.
I havent made any statements other than the fact i think def leppard sucks, sorry im twistin your pantys in a bunch, but The drummer sucked when he had two hands.The lead singer was a little pussy who dyed his hair and tried so hard to fit in as pretty boy front man, There rythem guitarist is some punk that can barely play good enough for a good garage band(there lead is pretty good, but nothing that special). They are a stuido sell out band from record 2 and on dude,Bringin on the heartbreak HA
well if its your opinion that they suck thats fine, I'll respect your opinion. Hell one of my best friends cant stand them. But I dont think we will ever see eye to eye on it. But you know where I stand and I know where you stand and theres no changing it. I'm sure we can agree on some music somewhere. Personally I like there music, but thats just me.
@justin2354 You are a fucking moron! Def Leppard is one of THE GREATEST bands of all time. Phil Collen is one of the best technical guitar players in the business and Viv Campbell is a legend as well-as this video will attest-and your boys METALLICA COVERED. You are a fuckin tool!
So many newbie Metallica fanboys on here who know fuck all about Metallica, talking shite about Sweet Savage and Def Leppard........... Lars was a fucking HUGE Def Leppard fan and so was James. James was the singer in a glam metal hair band called "Leather Charm" with Hugh Tanner (who wrote some of the songs which James stole and modified for Kill Em All - Hit The Lights for example) before Metal Massacre. Stop talking such shite....fucking worse than Justin Bieber fans. \m/
@hayleestaine4 DUDE, I love DIO AND DEF LEPPARD! But to say that Dio's riffage is far more complex that Def Leppard's is just idiotic. Is Rainbow in the Dark NOT a pop song?? Moron!
Sounds like one of the voices from south park. Haha! Actually I like this a lot, it screams attitude which most music lacks these days, bunch of rich stupid fucks are making music now.
@danophile07 sweet savage were apart of the new wave of british heavy metal not glam metal. And metallica have sayed many times that they were influenced by nwobhm
I know. No disrepsect for any of the original Metallica cover's' bands, but Metallica almost always plays covers faster, so if you listen to Metallica's first, it makes it seem better. This song...I don't know. They're both awesome.
couldnt agree more, but vivian cambells version is much better than the version with the other guitarist, the music that vivian released in sweet savage is much better than his work with def lepard
muy buena banda...

You dont think going to Def Leppard is selling out? there's no way he plays as complicated/intricate riffs as he did with dio/sweet savage. Why would he join if he has an easier job you might ask? MONEY. Besides anyone who prefers Def Leppard to DIO should be booked into an insane asylum.

Well I like Def Leppard but I like Dio too, or his earlier stuff. But you cant deny back in the early days Def Leppard was a heavy metal band. They havent done that in a while, but it would be nice to see them go back to it.
nwbritt 2 years ago
earlier stuff? nothing is wrong with heaven and hell man! that's better than Leppard ever was. Forget Campbell for a second, and listen to some Blackmore. Another sold out guitarist for dio. He's my favorite guitarist, and when he was in Rainbow was some really great stuff.
hayleestaine4 2 years ago
no doubt heaven and hell is a really good song, I can listen to it all day. Also I'll admit its better than anything Def Leppard has put out recently. As far as Blackmore goes he was one of the greatest, not my favorite guitarist ever but he was one of the best no denying it.

not just talking about the song, heaven and hell just came out with a new album... check it out!

alright I'll go check it out. I've heard a song or two off of it and those were pretty good.

Your just mad your a bitch cause you like the pop/hairmetal bands
justin2354 2 years ago
I guess its pretty clear that you dont know a single thing. While I do like Def Leppard, I also like the other bands like Dio, Sabbath, Zeppelin, Van Halen, Ozzy and the like. But I guess thats really not the issue here. Your to busy trying to bash Def Leppard and you have no real facts to back up your statements. I guess you've never listened to there first two albums. I dont even know why I'm debating this with you because you seem unable to have a debate without trying to run people down.

I havent made any statements other than the fact i think def leppard sucks, sorry im twistin your pantys in a bunch, but The drummer sucked when he had two hands.The lead singer was a little pussy who dyed his hair and tried so hard to fit in as pretty boy front man, There rythem guitarist is some punk that can barely play good enough for a good garage band(there lead is pretty good, but nothing that special). They are a stuido sell out band from record 2 and on dude,Bringin on the heartbreak HA
justin2354 2 years ago
well if its your opinion that they suck thats fine, I'll respect your opinion. Hell one of my best friends cant stand them. But I dont think we will ever see eye to eye on it. But you know where I stand and I know where you stand and theres no changing it. I'm sure we can agree on some music somewhere. Personally I like there music, but thats just me.

@justin2354 You are a fucking moron! Def Leppard is one of THE GREATEST bands of all time. Phil Collen is one of the best technical guitar players in the business and Viv Campbell is a legend as well-as this video will attest-and your boys METALLICA COVERED. You are a fuckin tool!

So many newbie Metallica fanboys on here who know fuck all about Metallica, talking shite about Sweet Savage and Def Leppard........... Lars was a fucking HUGE Def Leppard fan and so was James. James was the singer in a glam metal hair band called "Leather Charm" with Hugh Tanner (who wrote some of the songs which James stole and modified for Kill Em All - Hit The Lights for example) before Metal Massacre. Stop talking such shite....fucking worse than Justin Bieber fans. \m/

@hayleestaine4 DUDE, I love DIO AND DEF LEPPARD! But to say that Dio's riffage is far more complex that Def Leppard's is just idiotic. Is Rainbow in the Dark NOT a pop song?? Moron!

I know. No disrepsect for any of the original Metallica cover's' bands, but Metallica almost always plays covers faster, so if you listen to Metallica's first, it makes it seem better. This song...I don't know. They're both awesome.

I think the song itself is great.. Maybe so good anyone could cover it and as long as it's close to the original it'll sound amazing.
With that said, the 80s Metallica demo version was my favorite.

couldnt agree more, but vivian cambells version is much better than the version with the other guitarist, the music that vivian released in sweet savage is much better than his work with def lepard
