Why is everyone arguing about this! Dire Straits original version is beautiful, but Metallica's cover is a completely different sound and should not be compared to Dire's. The two stand separately, and both are awesome. I personally prefer Metallica's because it is so stark and raw, and war is stark and raw, but that is just my preference.

I think the same could have been said for disturbed Covering Simon and Garfunkel yet Disturbed got a message from Garfunkel praising their performance on the sound of silence. legendary to who? there are many people who have no clue who he is and would hate his music, Covers are just that covers, some get it right and do amazing and give a different feel to the original song. I'm sure some love this cover and don't care for the original and vice versa but it's just down to personal preference and personal opinion. But either way they performed this at a charity event so good for Metallica for doing something different to themselves.
