The Metalica original is better but Motorhead tried to copy it as exactly as possible!

It's 5% worse because Lemmy can't sing like James Hetfield.

@Burnley123 As a fan of both Lemmy and James, I agree. And that's not even saying one is objectively better than the other. Lemmy was good at singing the songs he composed. James is good at singing the songs he composes.

@LordShadowfire Agree.

I also think that a cover should try and be a bit different. Try to add something. They didn't.

@Burnley123 The song is pretty decent as it was- although Metallica declined from there, Motorhead stayed the same!

BelleButterfield · F

Can't say I'm very fond of either. But I think Lemmy's voice fits music better.

My goodness, it's almost ten years since Lemmy died :-(

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@ninalanyon Yeah, his voice was perfect and it is why they were/are one of my favourite metal bands

Nimbus · M

I've seen MH in concert but they don't hold a candle to Mettalica on this song.

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@Nimbus No! Not you too!!!! And you saw Lemmy!

Nimbus · M

@BritishFailedAesthetic Lol, I'll have you know MH gave me tinnitus! ;)

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@Nimbus You're not the only one to have claimed that!

graphite · 61-69, M

I didn't know anyone but Metallica covered this song. But they knock it out of the ballpark.

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@graphite Yes, I know Motorhead do 🤭

RedBaron · M

Wins what?

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@RedBaron Wins at a javellin throwing contest..... which cover of the song?

LordShadowfire · M

Lemmy is a legend in his own right, and has earned his immortality, but it somehow sounds weird, him covering this song.

BritishFailedAesthetic · M

@LordShadowfire His cigarette infused voice was perfect for metal!

LordShadowfire · M

@BritishFailedAesthetic Oh, absolutely. It's as if he was born for it.
