I'm 49 yrs old and I tend to like listening to "classic rock"-the stuff I listened to as a much younger man.But thanks to XM Radio,I heard a few tracks off this one,and really loved them.Most notably Thin Lizzy's "Whiskey In The Jar" ,and Blue Oyster Cult's "Astronomy" (a high school favorite of mine).Also good were Bob Seger's "Turn The Page" and Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone".There's 2 discs in this set,the second one contains some Motorhead covers and one of the filthiest ,and vile songs ever "So What".They actually played that on XM Radio too.I nearly choked on my coffee,that day.A lot of filler in here,too,but you are sure to find a lot to like.And I shopped around for this and picked up a used copy here on ebay for 3 bucks!Money well spent.Buy this one,and enjoy
MANY METAL FANS MIGHT NOT KNOW THIS, BUT THIS 2 CD METALLICA SET IS IN THE TOP 10 SELLING METAL CD'S OF ALL TIME. ALTHOUGH IT IS B-SIDES, AND COVERS, IT SHOWS WHAT METALLICA CAN DO WHEN THEY JUST WANT TO DO A JAM SESSION. RECORDED OVER SEVERAL YEARS, THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE METALLICA ALBUMS. I ALMOST OVER LOOKED IT, TILL A FRIEND GOT ONE. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD IT WAS. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, AND PICK ONE UP. I FOUND MINE LIKE NEW FOR UNDER $5 FREE SHIP.

I was quite surprised how much I liked this cd. I bought it just for the song "Turn The Page", but in listening to it I discovered many other songs that make the purchase worth it. While I'm not a huge fan of bands that cover other artists music, (which is why this received a good instead of excellant rating) metallica doesn't depart very far from the original arraingment of the songs. Hetfield's voice fits most of the tracks like a glove, and when it doesn't, I like it anyway. From the slower tracks like Tuesdays Gone and Turn The Page to the raunchy and raucous So What, this is great compilation of cover songs done right by one of the best metal bands out there. So go ahead and buy it. You'll like it. And if not......SO WHAT!!!!
I think this one of the best albums metallica ever released after the Load , Re-load period , even if its not actually a new album its a collection of cover did by Metallica in their history , songs like Am I Evil (Diamond Head cover ) , Sabbra Cadabra (Black Sabbath cover) , Die Die My Darling (Misfits cover ) , Loverman (Nick Cave cover) , Turn the page (Bob Seger cover) , Whiskey In The Jar (Thin Lizzy cover) , and lot more . I apreciate this album because some of the covers sound way better than the original versions , and covers like Am I Evil , Breadfan remind me of the early Metallica period , anyway its for sure worth the money(thats why i bought it , its a need-to-have for old Metallica Fans ) What i dont like about it is the period in which it was released, and i cant give it 5point rating cause this isnt a act of creation its just about interpretation .Read full review
Factory sealed Metallica, complete with "hype sticker". I'm a happy camper.
