Whiskey In The Jar:
The song "Whiskey in the Jar" is based upon an old traditional Irish drinking tune and soon became Metallica's new drinking song.
Album:
Garage Inc.
The cover of:
Although the song "Whiskey in the Jar" revived the first time on a record by the Irish singing group the Dubliners, Metallica covered the version which was originally released by Thin Lizzy in 1972 as a UK single.
The subject matter:
It is about a young bandit robs an army officer to keep his girlfriend happy and was imprisoned after she betrays him.
What Metallica says about it:
James: "It's extremely catchy and the fact it isn't really their song is weird, it's some Irish drinking song. I liked the fact the Phil Lynott could go anywhere and write any style, from some completely sappy love ballad to some total quick-rocker to goofing around with the cowboy song, to different shuffle beats."

  • @thundercats283 oh god, what have I done? Because I downloaded a song or two Lars won't be able to buy that third yacht or James won't be able to send his kids to Harvard.I'm a lazy dude, I've worked for 28 years but they have it tough,jetting around the world, staying in 5 star hotels, having fans/sheep treating them like royalty.I've paid extortion rates for music since 1970 but you are right, I should keep feeding the corporate music machine. Wake up chump, this is 2012.

  • @mistomen Really.. Wow so you say for the time they have been around they did not work.. So you are one of the people who like to down load and steal things as well just like the rest of the fags out there. Get a life and try doing what they did for as long as they did and tell me if it is not work you pussy shit.

  • @thundercats283 Metallica are sellout, corporate rock whores. You say they work their asses off ,are you fucking retarded? You call that work? You are worse than a fag, you are a fanboy.

  • @copperandmoonshine ok thats understandable but how would like if u made some of the greatest song of the 80s and 90s and all of a sudden not make that lil bit of money from royalties. ITS CALLED STEALING i feel they did wat they thought was necessicary as did many artist Metallica wasn't the only that filed suit against napster

  • Lars is a terrible Drummer in my opinion. I can play his shit!

  • @copperandmoonshine Absolutely!They lost all their cred on that one.A lot of Metallica fans act like it never happened,but it totally showed what money grubbers Lars and co. are.

  • looks like a bunch of l.a. lipstick lesbians running around playing grab-ass while these 4 nut-sacks play air guitar...........buncha fags , after lars pulled bitch about napster i NEVER buy anything of metallica..........if i like it , i steal it off of the internet.
