St.Cover


I'm currently listening to Kink FM's Outlaw 666, their alternative chart of the songs of the last ten years. At number 650 it's Metallica's St.Anger. Disgrace to the name Metallica if you ask me and I wonder whether anyone will cover that particular album. Must be pretty easy to cover it better than the original. There's actually some songs on there that are quite good once to manage to listen through the crappy production. Time for a bit of digging on allmusic.com...

Frantic and St.Anger are done on "Hip Hop Tribute to Metallica : The Ultimate Mash-up", another one like the Alice in Chains tribute : hardly any info to be found and critical reviews.

Pitchshifter take on St.Anger on "Blackest Album 4", which sounds like something that might be interesting. On the same album Substanz-T does Shoot Me Again, which I in fact cannot remember.

That's it! Two genuine covers and two on what appears to be a cheap cash in on the name Metallica. Even when you take into account that the album is just two years old, that's not a lot for a band that's been covered to death in the past.
