And this is the cover.

So which do you like better? I might actually go with the original.

Damn! This is one of my favoirte Metallica songs, though it's a cover. :/ I might be biased in this, but I'm going to go Metallica. They put a.. darker twist on the song.

Once in a flying hamburger(Sorry, I'm hungry) XD, I would like a cover better then the original. Yeppers.

I'd say they are relatively the same. I never liked Metallica's vocals much and their older stuff is worse than their newer stuff so the original wins purely for vocals but Metallica adds a great guitar cover so it gets lots of points for that.

 

Normally I'm the type who likes covers more, usually just because I like the newer sound of it, usually sounds more fleshed out to me, especially if the original is 30+ years apart from the cover like Dio's Holy Diver. (Can't stand Dio's version, Killswitch Engage's is much better)

Metallica feels like they have lost there touch..... they havent done anything thats really amazed me since the black album.... So im gonna say the original version is better.

Someone who finally agrees with me. The Metallica version is good but, the Diamond Head version is just better.

I have to go with Diamond Head, I have nothing against Metallica's covers I just like Sean Harris's voice more than I do Hetfield's.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

I much prefer the original, Metallica just doesn't really do it for me. I mean, the original sounds more... I'm not sure how to say it... meatier, if that makes sense.

Cover for sure on that one! It really depends. Sometimes a band completely recreates the song and makes it better and sometimes they butcher it.
