as a diehard Pistols fan, I search out every cover just because I can. I love to hear different takes on such groundbreaking tunes. Anyways, in terms of Pistols covers, this is weak. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely the love the Megadeth version, but to cover a song that is so much about vibe....and they missed all of that. So they have no clue to the spirit of the original...a given...I really like what they did with it, the metal riffs, and the vocals are badass....no comment on the actual lyrics though, heh. All in all an interesting take on just how fucked up Mustaine was at the time...and anyone who seriously compares this to the Crue version...that one is even worse, talk about missing the point.
