BLOODY HELL!!! I cant believe Metallica stayed perfectly still and through the whole song and still sounded spectacular!

[LeBart021]

It's not about kickin' somebody's ass you stupid fucks. It's music not football..

[Gravelgutband]

@hrannigests What are you talking about? Its the same speed as on the Overkill album.

[Gravelgutband]

@papstbenni I prefer the original Whiplash. But i prefer Lemmy over anybody in the world

[AlbanianGuy]

@ZleeperZMarshall did u find out i like to know

[ZleeperZMarshall]

Hi. Does any one know what riff they are playing before overkill? What song is that from?

[williamtrevormcneil]

i wish i was in a majorly successful band that got to play cover songs from another majorly successful band that played covers of my songs as well..

itd be a lot better than being one of these people that comment "X's version is FARRR better.." *cough cough* @Ulghart

[Arbiter321]

I have to say that I like the Motorhead version way more than this. James is awesome, but his vocals just don't match Lemmy's.

[Zephyesa]

@Adamthebarsteward its only when a band attains true greatness, that they can do this.

[SSSoM3]

love the vocals

[Ulghart]

The version or Motörhead is FAR badass....
