Cover vs. Original

Whiskey in the Jar


Thin Lizzys version is a classic song, but Metallica is more powerful! A hard decision!

If you're going against Metallica's version of this song, you're crazy. Metallica did an amazing job of covering this song. I've heard the real original and it's horrible.

Michael is right, Thin Lizzy didn't write it. Having said that... I think the Thin Lizzy version is much better.

Side Note: Metallica after the black album sucked. I even question the black album.

Thin Lizzy's version is not really the original. It is a traditional Irish folk song.
