"Whiskey in the Jar"

[highlander_Daz]

I actually like it ! I like thin lizzys version as well, theres a band called crackerjock that does the rounds and they do a great version. fast and ALL the verses as well. you gotta feel sorry feel for Captain Farrell!!

I'm a bit stunned.

I just finished a conversation with someone who was convinced that Metallica wrote "Whiskey in the Jar."

I'm not certain how I feel about this...

weel noo... had they drunk the whole jar when they blethered thot? :rolleyes:

Metallica??? They've never done anything worth a damn except make loud noises.

Hey now...some of us enjoy all types of music and really enjoy the occasional Metallica song...

As for the best version of Whiskey in the Jar I have heard, I have to give that to Barleyjuice. The bluegrass twang mixed into the middle is perfect. http://store.itsaboutmusic.com/barleyjuice.html Listen to the samples of the entire album for Another Round. The whole album is great, but Whiskey in the Jar is one of my favs. I hope their newest album hits my door any day.

It's sad, because that same person probably thinks that "Last Caress/Green Hell", "Am I Evil?" and "So What?" were probably written by Metallica, as well.

*shakes head*

Of course they did. It's on the same album where they did the original versions of "I've Got You Under My Skin", "Big Rock Candy Mountain", and of their first instrumental epic "Toccata in Fugue in D Minor". Rock ON !

Don't forget their original versions of "the rainbow connection", "The Imperial Death March" and "Ice Ice, Baby"...

Don't knock Metallica. They have a good deal of coordination and harmonic originality uncommon to other bands. Sure, they have some crap. They also have some stuff that is borderline genius.

And I LOVE their version of Whiskey in the Jar.

I like some of Metallica's stuff. And I like their version of "Whiskey in the Jar," but the idea that they wrote it is just ridiculous.

If you find that funny, check out Beatallica, a band which brilliantly blends the Beatles and Metallica!

that is crazy! I wonder if their opeing band is a Culture Club / Gwar blend?

I'll bet their concerts are great fun, though...
