Metallica - Stone Cold Crazy (Live) [1990] sounds better

Original song by Queen Written by Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon Released : 1990 Genre : Rock Style : Heavy Metal “Stone Cold Crazy“ is a song by British rock band Queen from their 1974 album Sheer Heart Attack. Metallica covered the song as their contribution to the 1990 compilation album Rubáiyát: Elektra’s 40th Anniversary. This cover version was later used as a B-side of their “Enter Sandman“ single and subsequently won a Grammy Award; it also appeared on their covers/B-sides album Garage Inc. The Metallica version of the song is more aggressive than the original; they also slightly altered the lyrics, adding two uses of the word “fuck“ and changing the more humorous lines for more violent lyrics. James Hetfield once performed it together with Queen & Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath (singing Metallica’s altered lyrics) at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Metallica also played the song as an encore during their 1991–93 Black Album tour; it appears on the live CD Live Shit: Binge & Purge and the 2009 live DVD Français Pour une Nuit.
