@louevil555 Ok, fine I was being a little too harsh. Theres nothing wrong with covering other bands, and I like Garage Days, but in all seriousness, they have sucked since the Black album. I was the biggest fan of Metallica going back to the beginning and they changed in a bad way. This is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

@jfkdjfd Actually, Metallica covered 'Remember Tomorrow' a few years ago.

@CoolKabbage the answer is simple... Metallica is the best band ever.

PS. I like this song not becouse of Meta... Holocoust is awesome!

Wow, I bought Garage Days 25 years ago or whatever, and this was always my favourite song on that album. I knew it was a cover, but I had no idea who did it. After hearing it done by the guys that actually wrote and performed it. I'm floored. I can see why Metallica jumped on it. It is exceptional. I don't know if the guys from Holocaust are still around, but holy fuck, that is legendary. An exceptional example of a band that isn't a house hold name and should be imho...

@iamstinkynoreally why does everyone hate on metallica?? they were a great band. still are! metallica gone through things you could only imagine. and all there albums are great . st. anger get alot of hate cuz thats exactly what it is! just listen to my favorite song the unnamed feeling. your probably saying to yourself" fuck no! the drums suck ass cheeks" thats what i thought but they reall y fit in after a while. so please take a second to listen to the other song (cliff died after master)

Why does every comments contain metallica? This isn't a Metallica video. (Yes, I know I am not helping.

[Meta4z00]

Wo0t!

@louevil555 They haven't been good since the Black album and haven't been great since Cliff. They should have stopped. What made them interesting and relevant ceased when they started making videos and being corporate lap-dogs. You can't be convincingly angry when you fly on private jets, live in giant mansions and make millions of dollars for farting in a studio and calling in a new single.

Kinda wierd hearing an actual chord progression behind the chorus melody. On Metallics'a version, the guitars and bass all do what the vocal is doing.
