Marching Toward Madness 500 · Page 5

No... no... no, they absolutely did not. Been a Metallica fan since the late 80's. I like their version of Whiskey in the Jar better than Thin Lizzy, because I hadn't heard the original first. If I hear the original first, and I like it... nobody can do it better.

Weird, but there it is.

Metallica made it better.

Saw a study once and the version you hear first tends to be your favorite. Be it original or cover. Case in point, Whiskey in the Jar was actually released by the Dubliners in '67 and covered by Thin Lizzy. And I'll always take Hendrix's version of Watchtower over Dylan. Though I don't know if that supports the argument, because it is Jimi after all

Saw Bob Seger on the Against the Wind tour. They played Turn the Page for the encore. A group of security guards brought Alto Reed into our section in the balcony, and he started playing the intro before a spotlight came on to light gHim up. It was really 😎

Whiskey in the jar is one of my favorite songs and until just this moment I did not know it was a cover.

My other take is Hurt by Nine Inch Nails was a great song, but it now belongs to Johnny Cash. Even Trent Reznor said so.

Fleetwood Mac Landslide is better than Smashing Pumpkins, though I heard the latter first.

I heard Reznor say that but can't agree. I think Downward Spiral is too wrapped up in my formative years to accept otherwise

I'm with MACS on this one. I like Neil Young's version of All Along the Watchtower with Willie Nelson best. Didn't Dylan do it first ?

Yes, Dylan wrote All Along the Watchtower, but the best rendition was the one by Jimmy Hendrix.

I though axl write that.

I saw a study once that shows when the number of churches in any given area increase so do the total number of violent crimes and violent deaths.
