I don't know why everyone has to be immature about which song (BOC original or Metallica cover) is better. Both are incredibly legendary bands. Neither of them suck. I really get irritated when someone says a band sucks when they listen to just one of they're songs half of the way through with a previously existing bias and immediately say they suck. If either band sucked none of you would have ever heard of them and this debate would not be taking place. Both were incredible versions. Personally I prefer the metallica version to the original. I think james's powerful voice, james's and kirk's arguably heavier guitar, and lars's heavier drums add another dimension to the song. That being said I would not mind listening to either version multiple times on multiple occasions. Great song.
