Original - 8 - They may have many much better songs but its still interresting to see this side of them, especially as a timeline to see how much they influenced the next decade of arena and hair metal. No Bohemian or Somebody to Love ect. but still respectable if for nothing else having one of the greatest singers to ever pick up a microphone alongside some of the best guys to pick up instruments, just good old head bangin' fun.

Metalica - 5 - They didn't do much different with the arrangement it seems, which I can't fault them for as it may have been out of respect, but bringing something different to a song is part of what makes a cover relevant to start with. But just okay at face value too, though admittedly would have been slightly higher without the subconscious comparisson. Besides that, obviously James isn't in a league with Freddie's technical gifts on the vocal side, but props for at least being able to also say the words fast :unsure: and put his own grit and energy to it. Still underwhelmed, but decent headbangin' fare as well.

Original x5
