Such a beautiful song... You know, one of the things I like the most in Metallica is the variety of kinds of music they play and how everything they play is just perfect, I'm not sure if I'm in love with James's voice or something else, but there's something about them that makes it almost impossible to survive over one or two days without listening to them...
I was at this concert - Bridge School Benefit Concert for Neil Young's Bridge School. Artists did it for low or no fee and almost all proceeds went to the school. The series, which had the most amazing 90's artists was acoustic only!
love skynard...love metallica...grew up listenin to both...but im under-impressed by this...just 1 mans opinion...we all have em. Know what would be cool? i wanna hear skynard cover a metallica tune!
I'm not a huge Metallica fan, although I do like their stuff, but I gotta tell ya, this is f*cking GREAT!!!! This is one of my favorite Skynyrd tunes, and I was preparing for the worst when I listened to this version, but holy shit!!!! Very pleasently surprised, to say the least. Thanks for posting it!!!
james can sing whatever the "F" he wants. he's earned that right. he is a pioneer of metal and an inspiration to many of today's artists who would be honored to have Metallica "butcher" their songs.
My 2 favorite bands are Skynyrd and Metallica, and to see Metallica cover a Skynyrd song fucking rocks. R.I.P. Ronnie and all the others who died in the crash.
Love this song. Want to see a vid of the original skynyrd boys ripping that one up though....this is a distant cousin to the original version. Still a great tune to cover
whenever lynrd skynrd played a gig the running gag was for someone in the audiebce to shout out "play freebird" this then entered the popular lexicon. at any gig of any artist there would be calls for "play freebird".
I like Metallica there are great cause they keep good rock coming out these days! But not a huge fan but I do say I have much respect for them cause of there respect for the founders of rock!
@FuckingMetalMusic WOW! Finally someone who`s not talking shit! Thumbs up from me! And what you say about the albums is actually one of the things that i love about Metallica. They try out alot of different things and come out the other side stronger! :-D
I wanna hear James make an album of country songs just for fun. Would be as cool AF
*southern rock* but you are right
Yeah he's voice is Perfect for country.
He made a song called “mama said” it’s actually really awesome
He covered a Waylon song on CMT. It was gold
I wish the same, my friend.

Metallica never fail a cover. They're awesome : )
Its not about if the Metallica is better or the Skynyrd its better. Its about how they see the music. If you like it, its ok, if you don't its ok too.
The studio version of this was amazing...
I don't think any other band out there can make a cover like Metallica does. There isn't a single cover done by them that sucks, not a single one.
because they are an excellent band with true passion for music
there havin' fun with a classic. hell yeah.
I was at this concert - Bridge School Benefit Concert for Neil Young's Bridge School. Artists did it for low or no fee and almost all proceeds went to the school. The series, which had the most amazing 90's artists was acoustic only!
they're good both metal and country...whoooaaahh i love his voice in this song...
When he mentioned a song from Re-Load, he was talking about the song they had just finished playing, Low Man's Lyric.
James sang that like a fucking champ! that was probly one of the best of their slower performances ive ever seen. 'TALLICA FOR LIFE!
Listening this June 2020. World is burning outside and James is jamming.
fantastic cover. love it...good job Metallica...its great to hear a great cover a great.
i can listen to this all day man...its a good cover
Usually i only listen to originals, but Metallica really knows their shit and this song sounds great.
Skynyrd for life \m/
love skynard...love metallica...grew up listenin to both...but im under-impressed by this...just 1 mans opinion...we all have em. Know what would be cool? i wanna hear skynard cover a metallica tune!
My favorite song of all time and a great version. Free Bird is one of the top 3 rock songs ever, no question. But this...this song is just PURE SOUL.
Mind Blowing dude..............
its hard to listen to tuesdays gone and not choke up this song brings on alot of memories
Metallica fully acoustic! Cool! :))))
Its great seeing Metallica having fun on stage!
Great song.
"SKYNARD DUDE!"

Jason without a pick ^^ unusual. I've always thought James has a great voice for both rock and country.

Both versions are awesome and I'm a true Metallica fan, however I love the original better.
whenever lynrd skynrd played a gig the running gag was for someone in the audiebce to shout out "play freebird" this then entered the popular lexicon. at any gig of any artist there would be calls for "play freebird".
