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
