"Whiskey in the Jar"

[Jimmy Carbomb]

I'll make sure to pass this "little known snippet" to a number of other bands over the next few months. I'm sure they'll have as good a laugh as I have! Thanks!!

Out of curiosity, I think I'll research as to whether The Spin Doctors are related to The Saw Doctors. There's also a chance that Ted Kennedy wrote "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap". Google's gonna love this.

Sorry, I know this is old... but this just cracks me up. Metallica's version of "Whiskey in the Jar" is not only based on Thin Lizzy's version, but it's on the Garage Inc. album... WHICH IS NOTHING BUT COVERS!

I'm a bit stunned.

I just finished a conversation with someone who was convinced that Metallica wrote "Whiskey in the Jar."

Who's Metallica?

Bryan...obtuse and loving it...

I like Thin Lizzy's version, don't think of Metallica's version as "metal", actually I find Metallica kind of tame, and don't get me going on their recording tech (what recording tech..).

Musically, I didn't evolve much past Blue Cheer, ha.

I've been trying to play this on guitar actually, so I'm starting to like my version.

Dude, they wrote "Whiskey In A Jar"

[pipesndrumsnun]

I've met many people in this world...and I actually believe that many of them would think Metallica wrote it! Oh my!

*Sighs*
As a Megadeath/Thin Lizzy/Pogues/Dubliners fan, this angers me greatly.
:P

Dude, they wrote "Whiskey In A Jar"

tsk, tsk, tsk. You need to repent.

[Ozman1944]

I remember "THE IRISH ROVERS" Singing it in the early 1960's....(If it's the same sone I'm thinking of).

[Archangel]

Okay, Beatallica I like, I think I'll order the cd. Is that a bad thing?
