Best Metal Cover of a Folk Song Ever

prove me wrong

1. Depends on how one defines metal/folk*, of course... But I prefer Whiskey in the Jar by either

Thin Lizzy or Metallica


Thin Lizzy

Metallica

*some might claim that Thin Lizzy isn't metal and is thereby ineligible for consideration, and one could also claim that Metallica is also ineligible because they are covering the Thin Lizzy arrangement/cover -- and Thin Lizzy isn't folk either.

2. I'll give you the TL version as a folk song, by a hard rock band.

Good pick

[NBachers]

3. That whole album is epic

4. one of the best

Their cover of Green Manalishi is another standout on an album on which every song is awesome. My fave though may be Victim of Changes.

5. Green Manalishi!

Their version is so huge sounding. Their live version is outstanding.
