Someday, maybe I'll show you my "trippin' balls in an abandoned steel mill" pic that ended up looking like "crazy *kitten* Malfoy is up to no good" pic.

Love Metallica but they never should have covered Bob Seger.

It may be based on age, but I prefer the Metallica version.

I also like their cover of Whisky in the Jar

For a cover, I dig it.

Five Finger Death Punch has done a pretty good job of making me appreciate originals on multiple occasions.

I do find the death metal version of Disney's "Let it Go" by Betraying the Martyr to be much better than the original. Not that I like Death Metal, but since my daughter was in elementary school when that movie came about, I'd heard the original many more times than necessary...
