 Topic: Budgie v Metallica
Posted: July 30 2013 at 05:55 |
Just heard both these on Planet Rock, and was struck by how crude the cover is, lacking the delicate heaviness of the original (and generally, I like Metallica).
Views?

If there is something that I really hate is Metallica, along with the boring AC DC.

I prefer the Metallica version, although it probably has something to do with being the version that I first heard and I am most familiar with.

Metallica don't hold a candle to Budgie as far as my ears go. I have the full studio discography relating to both bands and if someone were to steal my Metallica albums I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Budgie however I guard with my life.

Definitely Budgie, even though I heard Metallica's first.
I would be torn between Metallica's cover of Astronomy, compared to BOC's original.

Considering how unlistenable Garage Inc is, these results are not surprising.

I don't remember the original version by Budgie, but one shouldn't lose an opportunity to spit on the grave of Metallica.

I don't know Metallica's version so no vote. Although I love Budgie and this song, I must say that Breadfan has one of the most awkward drumming I've heard.

I didn't realise I had both these in my collection.
Kudo's to Metallica for covering a great song by a great band.
However the Budgie original slays Metallica's over compressed version.

Mmmmm, Metallica not too popular around these parts?
I'm not just addressing the topic question either.
One of the most influential metal bands of all time and some would say pioneers of what is now termed prog metal. I know it's different strokes for different folks but surely some of these comments are a little disrespectful.

Metallica have no association with the creation of prog metal IMO. Sorry.

Good thing that you are on the Math Rock team and not the Prog Metal team then.

Come on: who in his/her right mind would listen to And Justice For All? Metallica was the worst thing ever happened to metal. Just look at the results of the poll and read the comments about 'Tallica all over the forum! The worst band, I tell you!
