This song is hundreds of years old, going back to the pirate days. It’s an old Irish folk song that’s been covered countless times, about a bandit that steals money from Captain Farrell, brings it to his girlfriend, then gets betrayed by her and ends up killing the good ol’ Captain and going to prison. There are different versions, in one it’s Captain Pepper and the girl’s name is Jenny. Metallica covered Thin Lizzy’s version, but punched it up a bit. Enjoying you guys, keep it up! Dig back to some older RUSH, like Anthem, By-tor and the snow dog or the Necromancer, heavy shit! Brad’s head will explode! 😁

[@mikenastasi8927]

YEAH! RUSH -- now you're talking.

[@pc574]

They said that the settlers used to sing it during the revolutionary war too

[@raymo6795]

...I believe it is Celtic, I remember a version by "The Kingston Trio"

[@mattmorrow7777]

Aye

[@VintageReplay]

Nice explanation!

[@ChrisTian-rm7zm]

The Gibson Les Paul Kirk Hammett is playing in this video was owned by the late Gary Moore, who died in 2011. He was one of the guitarists of Thin Lizzy, the band who made this old irish folk song famous.

[@mpmlopes]

Also the live version of Still Got The Blues by Gary Moore is worth checking out. Gary Moore in the 90s was in an exceptional form musically speaking.

[@hesch-tag]

So you should perhaps mention it originally belonged to Peter Green from Fleetwood Mac.

[@chriscalvert4625]

Kirk also paid over 1 million bucks for it!

[@NJTRAF]

And it was gifted to Gary Moore by Peter Green, of Fleetwood Mac, and is one of the unique "Greeny" Les Paul's with the reverse polarity pickups IIRC

[@stricknine8623]

@@NJTRAF Yep !! I like Hammett more than I did just for his appreciation of that Les Paul.

[@sumonjamal1653]

'Whiskey in the jar' was a traditional Irish drinking song... Thin Lizzy recorded a rock version of the song in the early 70's. Metallica opted to cover Thin Lizzy for their covers record 'Garage Inc.' in 1998, cos late bassist Cliff Burton was a huge fan of the band and their bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott... Tragically, Phil Lynott and Cliff Burton both passed away in 1986, just months apart...

[@rlarkin100]

I tipped a Superchat for them to react to the Thin Lizzy version, hopefully they do it. The Thin Lizzy version is beautiful, but this version has lost the poetic vibe --and Metallica certainly has some poetic songs. They failed here imo. Just an opinion.

@@pc574 yeah, but your comment adds no context at all to this reaction. I know its an Irish folk song which they have covered and many others cover, but must say the Lizzy version is IMHO a true classic and I'll always think of them first when I hear any version of it. The point is that this song they are reacting to was played as a tribute Thin Lizzy and more specifically to Phil Lynton, RIP, the lead singer of Thin Lizzy. Metallica have stated how they were greatly influenced by artists like Phil and Thin Lizzy. Them playing this song in Ireland was a nice touch, a nice way to show the respect and asteem they hold Phil in.

Metallica puts on an amazing show. I built the stage and rigged lighting for the show the last time they came thru Tulsa. I was also a ticket holder for that show. My day started at 5am , unloading trucks and putting the show together. We get cut loose until after the show around 4:30 that afternoon. I went and grabbed food and immediately got in line waiting for doors to the venue to open up. I caught 3 guitar picks that night , then had to go tear down the show and load trucks to send them on their way to next gig. Made for a very long day for me , but what a fun night

Y'all need to listen to the unforgiven trilogy. I dunno how it hasn't come up on your list yet, but it's definitely a must. I think Brad would also like more of the load and reload albums, which are underrated. Songs like Bleeding Me, Fixxxer, Carpe Diem, Low man's lyric.

[@lovedc4ever678]

I am literally such a fan of Blue Oyster Cult it ridiculous and as much as I may balk at it somewhere, Metallica's cover of "Astronomy" is better than the original by BOC. It's hard to really choos but "Load" is in my top three of their albums.

[@raadbeirouti]

@@lovedc4ever678 That song is amazing. I think both versions are unique in their own way. But definitely, Metallica's cover gets the edge. Astronomy is a must listen! I personally prefer puppets, justice, and the black album. But I think Brad will definitely enjoy more load, reload, garage albums. It's all amazing and just a testament to how creative and diversified this band is.

[@sliestcarpenter]

Great song and fantastic reaction. Keep Rockin’ Brad and Lex !!

[@ansionnachbeagrioga5260]

It's a very old Irish folk tune about a highwayman that robs from an English officer and then his woman sells him out to British officers and he winds up betrayed and in prison. A 70's Irish rock band called Thin Lizzy turned it into a rock tune. And Metallica covered it as a tribute to Thin Lizzy lead vocalist Phil Lynnot.

[@EessaTube]

This song is a traditional Irish song and the best version of it, bar none, is the one by Irish band, Thin Lizzy. You should really check out their version and also other great songs in their catalogue, such as Roisin Dubh, Don't Believe a Word, Emerald and Jail Break.

Totally agree.

Drop Dead Murphys do the best rock version of this song. In college we would listen to all of these old Irish songs the week of St. Pats. And go to one of the local pubs who would have an Irish band play. The tvs would have the opening weekend of the NCAA bball tourny. Great memories. 👍

Garage Inc. is a compilation album of cover songs by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on November 24, 1998, through Elektra Records. It includes cover songs, B-side covers, and The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited, which had gone out of print since its original release in 1987. The title is a combination of Garage Days Revisited and Metallica's song "Damage, Inc.", from Master of Puppets. The album's graphical cover draws heavily from the 1987 EP. The album features songs by artists that have influenced Metallica, including many bands from the new wave of British heavy metal movement, hardcore punk bands and popular songs.

The version on "Garage, Inc." is one of my favorite Metallica recordings. Based on an Irish folk song c. 17th century, widely recorded over the last 70 years. The Pogues' version is worth a listen. Another great Pogues: "The Boys From County Hell."

[@Lymbe06]

I’d recommend sticking to studio versions on first time listening, the lives are basically a celebration of the song. Audiences sing along, lyrical and vocal mistakes are forgiven, the solos are not quite the same etc. Unless that specific band is killing it live like Maiden or AC/DC lol.

[@JimiBurleigh]

Whilst I like Thin Lizzy's version better, in fact it's probably my favourite version - there is nothing bad or wrong with Metallica's version, to be utterly clear - actually the song predates even Thin Lizzy. By a lot. Musicologist and historian Alan Lomax traced the origins of "Whiskey In The Jar" to 17th century Ireland. Which would make sense because Phil Lynott was raised in Dublin, Ireland. He would almost certainly have been familiar with the song as a folk ballad sung down the pub on a Saturday night.

Thin Lizzy was one of Cliff Burtons favorite bands. Think they play this for him.

[@MacV216]

This is based on the Irish folk song which has been around for hundred of years and the lyrics tend to change, my definitive version has seven verses, 1) the robbing of a Captain/Colonel Farrell or Pepper, 2) taking the money back to Jenny or Molly, I prefer Jenny because it rhymes with "made a pretty penny", 3) going to bed and being betrayed by Jenny, 4) being captured in the ambush set up by Jenny, 5) escaping prison, 6) seeking out the aid of his brother in the army, 7) a closing verse discussing his love for getting drunk and pretty women. Metallica's and Thin Lizzy's version has the protagonist in verse 4 shoot the people trying to arrest him rather than Jenny having filled his pistol barrels with water so that he would be taken without violence, their version then picks up with verse 7 except instead of the protagonist having liberated himself from the prison, his is stuck there to rot.

It's an old Irish pub drinking song that is over 200 years old.

This was an old Irish folk song first released by the Dubliners in 1968 and a rock version by Thin Lizzy in 1973. A quick search on the internet would clear up what looks like wilful ignorance.

Original song is by the Irish band Thin Lizzy which featured the Great Gary Moore before he went solo. His guitar riffs and skill is second to none, I recommend checking out Out in the Fields by Gary Moore 👌

This song is well older than Thin Lizzy. The settlers knew this song before coming to "The New World" as they sung it during the revolutionary war

James is not a backup type guitarist, Lex! He’s one of the greatest rhythm guitarist of all time.

Great cover, though I would have taken the studio version over the live one personally. Metallica also did a cover of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" which was even better than this one, IMO. Check it out.

Ayy I was at this concert :D

Your right the song is about a highway robber stealing for then being betrayed by his girl. It’s hundreds of years old, an Irish Traditional and there’s a hundred versions.

The official video is worth a watch
