Best Songs Metallica Has Covered

These can be any song on Garage Days, Garage Inc., or any other cover they've made.

The Top Ten

1 Am I Evil? - Diamond Head

One of the best covers in metal, period.

2 Overkill - Motörhead

3 The Prince - Diamond Head

4 Last Caress/Green Hell - The Misfits

5 Stone Cold Crazy - Queen

Probably the first proto-thrash metal song ever

6 Turn the Page - Bob Seger

One their greatest covers.

7 Whiskey In the Jar - Thin Lizzy

Whiskey in the jar, believe it or not, goes back decades. It was a traditional Irish song sang in villages and in army camps.

8 So What? - Anti-Nowhere League

9 Blitzkrieg - Blitzkrieg

10 Tuesday's Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd

The Contenders

11 Sabbra Cadabra - Black Sabbath

12 When a Blind Man Cries - Deep Purple

It was on the tribute album "Re-Machined: A Tribute to Deep Purple's Machine Head", 2012
I really like this cover.

13 Loverman - Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds

Metallica cover sounds much better to me

14 Breadfan - Budgie

15 It's Electric - Diamond Head

16 Helpless - Diamond Head

17 Mercyful Fate - Mercyful Fate

The riffs in the original recordings are already great, and also go well with the guitars tuned 1/2 a step down. The nonstop riffs are already awesome, and don't forget that this medley is 11 minutes long. Sadly, it's only been performed live about 10 times as of late September '18.

18 Ronnie Rising Medley - Ronnie James Dio

19 Astronomy - Blue Öyster Cult

Masterpiece

20 Remember Tomorrow - Iron Maiden

21 The Wait - Killing Joke
