"Whiskey in the Jar"

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

I'd be surprised if they knew who Paul McCartney was to begin with!

paul who? is he the one with the big hair that quit the band to start megadeth?

That's Dave Mustaine, but nice try. I think Paul was the one who died when Metallica's tour bus crashed. In my opinion Megadeath was is still is way better than Metallica.

Dave, I thought he started Spinal Tap?!? Now I've got my big-hair heavy metal bands all messed up!

Sorry, I know this is old... but this just cracks me up. Metallica's version of "Whiskey in the Jar" is not only based on Thin Lizzy's version, but it's on the Garage Inc. album... WHICH IS NOTHING BUT COVERS!

I'm a bit stunned.

I just finished a conversation with someone who was convinced that Metallica wrote "Whiskey in the Jar."

Who's Metallica?

Bryan...obtuse and loving it...

Dude, they wrote "Whiskey In A Jar"

tsk, tsk, tsk. You need to repent.

I like Thin Lizzy's version, don't think of Metallica's version as "metal", actually I find Metallica kind of tame, and don't get me going on their recording tech (what recording tech..).

Musically, I didn't evolve much past Blue Cheer, ha.

I've been trying to play this on guitar actually, so I'm starting to like my version.

I've met many people in this world...and I actually believe that many of them would think Metallica wrote it! Oh my!
