I was in HMV the other day and heard one of the cliche bullshit females singers singing the words to Nothing Else Matters. What the hell is going on?!

[Tav]

are you still drunk?

[Mouse]

No I literally did hear this!

ive heard quite a few bands cover metallica

most of them being live, and most of them cutting off before the solo....

i wonder why....

i heard it on radio 2 the other day

it was a bollox song initially, made slightly more "wild boar-ish"

crap metallica covers are ten to a penny man, being one of the biggest metal bands automatically means at least every second band has to have a crack at your songs at some point or other, any "tribute to.." album is absolutely laden with shit attempts at all the classics, The only covers i have heard i really enjoyed was Limp Bizkit and Korn's attempts from the Icons show (korn may of cut the solo but to be honest it wouldnt be very korn to play a solo) and im totally digging the fade to bluegrass album, which is a hayseed dixie-like hash through their songs, but they've actually taken the time to rearrange the songs and make them thier own.

Then you've got apocalyptica's version, but that's really in a class of its own tbh.

The Apocolyptica tribute to Metallica is genius

Their version of Nothing Else Matters nearly made me cry when I first heard it (in a good way.)

And what I wouldn't give to be able to play the solo in their cover of One...Christ.
