"Whiskey in the Jar"

hehehehehehehehe.

I have no input other than to say that it's one of my favorite songs done by Barleyjuice. I dare say that regardless of who wrote it Barleyjuice does it better than Metallica ever could.

Sad, but not surprising.

If stupid people were oil, we'd never have a gas shortage!

Don't forget their original versions of "the rainbow connection", "The Imperial Death March" and "Ice Ice, Baby"...

Don't knock Metallica. They have a good deal of coordination and harmonic originality uncommon to other bands. Sure, they have some crap. They also have some stuff that is borderline genius.

And I LOVE their version of Whiskey in the Jar.

I'm not knocking them...I've got a lot of metallica myself...but it is pretty funny...

If you find that funny, check out Beatallica, a band which brilliantly blends the Beatles and Metallica!

I like some of Metallica's stuff. And I like their version of "Whiskey in the Jar," but the idea that they wrote it is just ridiculous.

They would probably also be suprised to learn that Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings......
