Metallica do not ... ( 1 week ago by Duckimoo)
Metallica do not try to 'compete'. They honor the song and the artists who wrote it by making a cover of it. Whether you like Metallica or not is a completely different matter, but their cover of Astronomy is very, very good.
Swallow some anti-bias pills and take some time to actually listen and accept the genius of the Metallica cover. I'm sure you'll come around :)
you have to ... ( 1 week ago by ukmarco20)
you have to remember that this is the original version. A cover is simply that (a cover). No matter how good Metllica are they can't compete with this song played how it was intended. I expect that being brought up on Metallica would have you think that they have the edge.Just take a moment to listen to the original and enjoy............
Genius?? You have ... ( 1 week ago by phellymckerr)
Genius?? You have got to be kidding me man. Anyone can play distorted power chords...its guitar 101. i challange u to go back and listen to the elegance with which Buck play this song on the guitar. as for the drumming, its the same quirky out of step tempo that i have heard on so much of metallicas stuff. average at best!
think twice before you use the G word my friend
Why do people keep ... ( 1 week ago by Duckimoo)
Why do people keep saying "compete"? Metallica are not trying to make a better version of an excellent song - that's not the point of a cover. Metallica made a fantastic cover, reminding people of what excellent music is often overlooked.
God damnit people, stop sucking so much >_>
Like I said, I'm ... ( 1 week ago by Duckimoo)
Like I said, I'm sure you'll come around if you just approach the cover from an unbiased perspective. You should really learn to listen to the music and not the band. Your arguments are flawed and inconsistent, because you let your ignorance and lack of insight regarding music do the talking, and therefore lose credibility.
You will not gain any wisdom from an objective discussion, if you approach it subjectively. Metallica's cover is very good, whether you like the style or not :)
Exactly my point, ... ( 1 week ago by phellymckerr)
Exactly my point, Metllica's monotone approach to everything they do does not make for a good cover. It is nothing short of barbaric. And i'm not at all biased. I like any good music. Im not even comparing Metallica's version to the B.O.C's, its just simply poorly covered regardless of what went before it. Shame on Metallica.
This is continued on my next comment....
And to go back to ... ( 1 week ago by phellymckerr)
And to go back to the genius issue, you are laughable. What geniuses do is they consistently create something or do something that has rarely or never been done before. And do it to the best possible standard. How can this be said of Metallica, given that they do an INORDINATE amount of covers. Don't be talking nonsense about music to me my friend :)
Have you ever ... ( 1 week ago by morris7670)
Have you ever really listened to their "...And Justice For All" or "Ride The Lightning" albums. In songs like "Fade To Black" and "To Live is To Die" they show not only expertly crafted song writing ability but absolute musical skill on par with the best. If you don't like their cover thats fine(i do) but to go as far as calling them just barbaric and poor musicians. I'm not trying to talk down to you, just saying maybe you should truly listen to them and then answer.
Some of you have to ... ( 1 week ago by wackydan74)
Some of you have to face some hard truths. If Metallica are too loud your too old! Pull out yer pipe and yer slippers and slip into a BOC coma. Good night pop! Both are awesome songs.
I didnt say ... ( 1 week ago by phellymckerr)
I didnt say Metallica were barbaric, nor did I call them poor musicians. I said their cover of this song was barbaric. I'm not trying to talk down to you, just saying maybe you should read what i wrote and then answer.
Metallica are not ... ( 1 week ago by phellymckerr)
Metallica are not too loud, they are just loud dude. Unelegant, power chord whores. If they rick your boat rock on dude, but the pale in comparison to what has went before them (Floyd, Led Zepp B.O.C...etc. Do you still think Metallica will have a following in 30-40 years from now? I don't, and thats a hard truth you have to face my friend.
Alright, alright, ... ( 1 week ago by carrienurse)
Alright, alright, ALRIGHT! I'm a Cultist from the early 70s. Seen them over 50 times. I truly believe they were the most ground-breaking American metal band ever. BUT, as I've said here before, I love Metallica. Hetfield's vocals. Nuff said there. However, NO ONE can sing "Astronomy" like Mr. Bloom. Pull out "Secret Treaties" and listen again. The Light that never warms...

When you hear Metallicas version, you consider this is one of the best metalsongs ever. But Fuck Metallica.
Bloom is one of the ... ( 6 days ago by sheepinspace)
Bloom is one of the coolest frontmen ever, but why is anyone arguing over which version is the best? BOC are prob the most underrated rock bands of the 70s and no-one can doubt that Metallica are the THE most influential metal bands of our times. Both versions fcking rock!!
Your obvious " ... ( 6 days ago by Duckimoo)
Your obvious "hatred" towards Metallica is the only thing that drives your arguments. Using terms like "barbaric" and "monotone" simply shows how narrow a musical field of vision you have. Your guitar 101 statement really just says that you cannot appreciate music that is simplistic, and thus any appearance of power chords in a song will give you the impression that the artist isn't capable of producing quality music.
Your idea of what ... ( 6 days ago by Duckimoo)
Your idea of what the point of a cover song is, is quite obviously very misguided. You constantly give the impression that you think Metallica is trying to go above and beyond the original song in their cover. What makes this cover so brilliant, is that the mood and the atmosphere is retained while the actual music played is completely different - and that is what makes a good cover.
Loverman is another great example of an excellent cover by Metallica. What is your opinion on that one?
One of the best ... ( 5 days ago by redoyster23)
One of the best ballads ever. Probably the best from the '70s, much better than the overrated "Stairway To Heaven". I'll never get to understand why this one is so less famous. Oh, and it comes from one of the best albums ever.
Blue Öyster Cult ... ( 4 days ago by horstpeter99)
Blue Öyster Cult are great even if they are not very known... its a great song, but dont say that "Stairway To Heaven" is overrated. Led Zeppelin is the best Band in rock history!

so funny to hear someone say BOC is not known. they used to be but time passes. they had their day when they were pretty damn big.

Overrated? Hardly. The way it scales and just keeps getting better from the moment it starts is nothing short of amazing. Any time I'm feeling down, it cheers me up in 2 red seconds =)
