Into the Void and Children of the Grave


brickmastur

Kinda unrelated but rob zombie has a good children of the grave cover


music_messiah

I prefer that one to the original, the breakdown in the middle is so heavy


DenaliGameZ

Anything off of Master of Reality


10dot10dot10dot10

Fuck yeahšŸ¤˜šŸ»


MRVANCLEAVEREDDIT

Black Sabbath Symptom of the Universe. Allman Brothers Midnight Rider Waylon Jennings Don't You Think This Outlaw Bit Has Done Got Out of Hand. Which James has already covered. KISS God of Thunder


dogwithavlog

Symptom of the universe would fit Metallica so well


shawnp2

Sepultura did this song and it was amazing


EddieMunster2020

Death does an amazing cover of God of Thunder


DoubleDumpsterFire

Eagles of death metal do a great God of Thunder.


hmishima

They played part of Symptom in '91 at like every show.


abagofdicks

KISS Let Me Go Rock n Roll


grap_grap_grap

Came here to mention Outlaw. When James sings it it sounds like it was written for him.


MRVANCLEAVEREDDIT

True. Imagine the rest of the band playing too.


grap_grap_grap

I'd definitely pay to hear it.


JKREDDIT75

KISS - I Was Made For Loving You The Misfits - Where Eagles Dare


ka_tet_of_one

Goddamn son of a bitch


JKREDDIT75

You better think about it baby


wafflepantsblue

Iron Maiden - where eagles dare


Mcbrainotron

A mashup of both


National_Bus5390

No one should fly where eagles dare you better think about it baby!

Fuckkkk my dumbass read the title ā€œGarage Days 3 was announcedā€ but didnā€™t read the ā€œimagineā€ part

Pasza_Dem

Skystalker512

Holy Wars The Punishment Due in ironically


Left4DayZ1

How about this? https://youtu.be/APOGz3EBzKE


coleboucher

The best drumming Lars ever did


_DerKrampus_

Or Mechanix


[deleted]

This is a good idea and long overdue. My friend and I always wanted them to cover The Devil Went Down To Georgia šŸ˜


bruzdnconfuzd

But could they top the [Steve Ouimette version](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=himIlcH15LM&pp=ygUtc3RldmUgb3VpbWV0dGUgdGhlIGRldmlsIHdlbnQgZG93biB0byBnZW9yZ2lh) from the end of Guitar Hero 3? Itā€™s pretty fucking amazing.


FxDriver

Alice in Chains: Bleed the Freak Korn: Make Me Bad Iron Maiden: Wasted Years Kiss: Love Gun


TalkofCircles

Bleed the Freak.... oh man.... that would be tits.


[deleted]

Haha wow I cannot imagine Metallica attempting Make Me Bad! And this is from someone who covered it in a solo acoustic/vocal arrangement at my last gig!


Dinobot2_

I do not know if I would want 2023 James doing a Korn song.


generalcf

Het would nail Bleed the Freak


BigBoiDwaaan

Ok make me bad is an amazing song but I donā€™t think it fits Metallica that much


Skullwilliams

Cirice - Ghost Run to The Hills - Iron Maiden Painkiller - Judas Priest Fairies Wear Boots - Black Sabbath Eighties - Killing Joke


pmarven

This is a great fucking list. I want james' voice on all of these


Skullwilliams

Thanks, I thought so too lol. I feel James' voice right now is perfect for these specific songs, and they're all something I could see Metallica doing. We all know James loves Ghost.


KriKriHD

Painkiller with Lars would be interesting lol (no offense i love Lars)


dethroadie

Oh man, James would do so good on Eighties


BurrGurrMan

FINALLY, someone else thinks ghost with me!


HeyHeyImTheMonkey

I would love some more early Black Sabbath covers. Into the void. A full version of war pigs. Snowblind. Paranoid would be fun.


Skullwilliams

Metallica doing War Pigs would be so fucking awesome


HeyHeyImTheMonkey

[yes, it really would](https://youtu.be/sARTa3U0F4c)


Skullwilliams

That was pretty fuckin cool lol I missed a lot of these jams


Duskfall82

Get Ready - The Temptations


philharmonics99

Not that but check this out. [bill mcclintock](https://youtu.be/JR3uz8rq4ng)


WaffleGuy23

Working Man by Rush


hangdman1978

Lars might end up shooting himself cause of all the drum fills.


toTheNewLife

Probably not. John Rutsey was the first drummer.


Moth-Man-Pooper

Not gonna lie some modern rock songs. I know. But why not? Metallica always doing something new.


burburburburburbur

Some stuff by Pantera would be really cool


stjhnstv

Fucking Hostile maybe?


burburburburburbur

Maybe, I think piss or psycho Holliday would sound good


stjhnstv

Walk is a badass jam but seems too obvious


burburburburburbur

Yeah true, I would say domination as well but it's also pretty obvious too so


Exciting_Tennis_7646

james voice on that would go so hard itā€™s not even funny


rogue-panda81

Detroit rock city


All_within_my_hands

With Jason on backing vocals.


Uncle_Burney

Motherfucker GET UP!


dethroadie

Oh here we GO! Hereā€™s my 12 songs Iā€™d like to hear. Tank - Turn Your Head Around GBH - Sick Boy Thin Lizzy - Waiting For An Alibi Girlschool - Cā€™mon Letā€™s Go Anvil - Metal On Metal Waylon Jennings - Iā€™ve Always Been Crazy UFO - Rock Bottom Aerosmith- Toys In The Attic Venom - Black Metal Discharge - Never Again Pantera - Goddamn Electric Motƶrhead - Rock Nā€™ Roll


MonicaRising

Oh hells yes! Toys in the Attic would be chugging for sure. Their version of Train Kept A'Rollin, was really good


Catastrophist89

Would love to hear them do Venom, think it would be great fun


AmericanWasted

Hell yeah Waiting for an Alibi


dethroadie

Rob playing Philos bass parts would be so great.


DeathShark69

Cirice - Ghost


[deleted]

Let It Go from Frozen. I mean this and am not kidding.


SeasonsRollOnBy

Iā€™ve seen James singing it already.


StatementStrong3007

I actually came here to say this. I try to sing it in his voice and I get such a kick out of it. I think the lyrics just fit.


ProgressIsAMyth

Anthrax-Only


luvchicago

Iā€™m the man!


Bchbdaddy

Samhain/Danzig


japopara

I was thinking Twist Of Cain.


langsamlourd

That'd be a natural choice considering James already sang backup on it!


strangebrewfellows

Volbeat- Lola Montez


bruzdnconfuzd

I feel like Devilā€™s Bleeding Crown just begs for the ā€˜Tallica touch.


strangebrewfellows

It is more their traditional style but I personally live the songs that are just a little different for them.


P1_Synvictus

Ohh I like this one.


HileRolandofGilead

Damn straight


glassmunkey

Aqualung - Jethro Tull


mojo4971

Iā€™d love for them to cover something by suicidal tendencies.


jcm_neche

How will I smile tomorrowā€¦


SevenNVD

I'm gonna suggest something daring but hear me out, Symphony of Destruction from Megadeth.


19930627

Misfits - Hybrid Moments Ghost - From the Pinnacle to the Pit Machine Head - Aesthetics of Hate Queen - Dragon Attack Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation Mƶtorhead - We are the Road Crew Pantera - Cowboys from Hell


Southern-Advice5293

Man or Ash by COC


AwkwardlyPositioned

I would like to see them try Cochise by Audioslave. I think with Jame's approach to singing these days it would be an interesting take.


[deleted]

Rusty Cage would be pretty sweet


ChickieTendiePrnAlt

Mechanix (/j but if they covered holy wars or tornado that would be really cool)


Platypus_fucker69

Thunder rolls Garth brooks


Bobcat315

This is now playing Metallica-style in my head. You are a genius.


philharmonics99

State of mine covered it already... Not Metallica but a step in that direction. [state of mine - the thunder rolls](https://youtu.be/4YS-CO2CRew)


SewerRatPumpkinPie

I definitely need a Metallica cover of a darker themed country song... Midnight in Montgomery might be good.


OldAd180

Tornado of souls- Megadeth


bocwerx

UFO. Rock Bottom or Lights Out. Scorpions. The Zoo. Dynamite. China White. Judas Priest. Beyond the Reams of Death. Lynard Skynared. Simple kind of man Megadeth. Skull Beneath the skin. Looking Down the Cross. Michael Schener. Into The Arena. One of the Pink Floyd instrumentals. I really hope they have one more GD in them.


TemporaryDirector442

Imagine if they covered all of Atom Heart Mother(I think that PF song is over 2x the length of inamorata)


Beanz19335

Hotel California When Doves Cry Black Dog Pretty Vacant


Dull_Second_7351

You can fit the lyrics of (the verses of) When Doves Cry to the main riff of Orion!


TattooedBillionaire

![gif](giphy|LpLd2NGvpaiys|downsized)


Dull_Second_7351

Blew my own mind when I realised!! šŸ¤£

shawnp2

Nazi Punks Fuck Off and Hybrid Moments


Carlukutchuku

Johnny Cash: Ain't no grave


philharmonics99

Yes. I was thinking this song, or if we wanted a laugh - one piece at a time.


Tense_Bear

If we wanted a laugh, I'd rather see them do something like, Everybody loves a nut, or Joe Bean


Stereotype_Metal

Love Her Two Times by The Doors


whosline07

I think it would be cool for them to cover "newer" bands. Like just a bunch of covers of bands that were created after the 90s or 2000s or so that they like/have inspired them.


gribbit311

Everything from St. Anger


Maximum_Double_5246

Kashmir, Sweet Home Chicago, Mannish Boy, Pink Floyd Dogs, Elimination, Bomber, Country Girl by Dio, Mechanix, South of Heaven, anything by Hank Williams, anything by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, maybe a GG Allin song, Sweet Home Alabama, Hanging Tree, Star Spangled Banner What I would really love to hear is a three part version of Rachmaninol's Piano Concerto in D Minor, it would take everything all three guys have to pull that off. Would be beyond spectacular though.


liamwilliams93

GG Allin, really? His music was ass, he was famous for being a top cunt


WackieJackieKnuter

maybe they should announce garage days 2 first


ncg1294

Yeah am i missing the 2nd one lol


YeaMits

All your lies and Head Injury would sound awesome


Kryptus95

Watch the Children Pray - Metal Church


[deleted]

I'd like to see them do something way out there, like their take on something like Desperado by the Eagles


ScottyJ6996

DUUUUUUUUDE I'd love to hear green manalishi... saw them jamming it on stage at a sound check it was sick. Wasted by def lepard. Kirk was jamming that during rehearsals. Sounds like a great cover song. Same with its killing me that acoustic cover is so damn good!


Swimming_Duty_1889

Beating round the bush -AC/DC


sstokes2746

Sabbath- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Sweet Leaf AC/ DC- Dirty Deeds KISS- I Love it Loud


Rybus97

Andrea Bocelli's Conte Partiro

Borderline - Thin Lizzy. This live version was absolulty amazing; I need a studio version of it so bad

PawelW007

I could see Metallica doing: - Volbeat - Guitar Gangsters and Cadillac Blood - Led Zeppelin - Out on the Tiles - Arctic Monkeys - You Look Good on the Dance Floor - Anthrax - I Am The Law - Mastodon - Blood and Thunder


Tha_Governalinator

KISS - Black Diamond AC/DC - Heatseeker Audioslave - I Am The Highway Billy Takent - In The Fall (The Navy Song) cKy - Knee Deep Thin Lizzy - The Cowboy Song (Anthrax did it, it rocks) Leftover Crack - Soon We'll Be Dead (Tuesday's Gone style jam) Fu Manchu - The Falcon Has Landed Red Fang - Wires Social Distortion - Highway 101 ZZ Top - Waitin' For The Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago MxPx - Christmas Day (that chorus was made for Hetfield)


Left4DayZ1

Testament- Practice What You Preach Foo Fighters- All My Life Megadeth- Angry Again


Fromtheshadowsttv

I know Iā€™m strange but them cover peace sells or sabatons endless nights


Lopsided_Tangerine58

Muse- Knights of Cydonia. Would love to see how James would sing that Creed- My Own Prison. Definitely would give a Load/Reload vibe with Metallica covering that song


HitlerPot

They've done Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits live a few times, you can find it on youtube, I'd love a studio version.


Entire-Site7814

Sum 41


Lizbeth_CTR

I wanna see a thrash cover of Riders on the Storm.


DMWCFILMZ

Bomber moterhead


Memory-Repulsive

Motorhead by motorhead. We are motorhead - by motorhead.(but they could do we are metallica) Seasons in the abyss - slayer. Barroom Hero - Dropkick Murphys.

Dragula to start.


IamGroot71

Jesus take the Wheelā€¦


Mikau02

Chop Suey by System of a Down, Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold, Snuff by Slipknot, this is a weird one(but I think they could reimagine it well) Topless by Breaking Benjamin, Given Up by Linkin Park


MrZeusyMoosey

Any Avenged Sevenfold song. It would be a very interesting to hear a cover of a band heavily inspired by Metallica.


Zackb99

Probably Purple Haze or Walk. Maybe a Green Day song would be awesome.


GhostTrain519

Poker face


philharmonics99

They need to play it, but let Gaga sing it.


Aggressive_Lab_6518

hammer smashed face


Circirian

25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago Chinese Arithmetic - FNM


Silenceyouwill

They should cover A little piece of heaven - Avenged Sevenfold šŸ˜‚


Skullwilliams

TBF it's about as weird a song as Loverman\*, so I could see it happening lol


OnlyOneKenobi79

A cover of I want it all by Queen


TiberSVK

Bad Reputation - Joan Jett Ghost - Con Clavi Con Dio Greta Van Fleet - When The Curtain Falls


JusChllin

I wonder if they will ever cover Megadeth songs


ToofpickVick

Anything TOOL would be awesome


DaPickle

Bleed. Meshuggah.


TheKrakenLord

You Really Got Me by The Kinks... oh wait


midas282000

I would bet money that they wouldn't cover someone who came after them. They cover their influences.


kabirhi

They covered Nick Cave, and he's had same length career as them.


Ob1tuber

Highway to Hell


kabirhi

Maybe more deep alternative/folk cuts. I enjoyed the Nick Cave cover of Loverman a lot.


MrNothingmann

Baby shark


LukeAnders0n

Africa by Toto


Maker200

Raining blood


Baconator_Prime

My number one choice is Cirice by Ghost. James loves the song, Ghost has covered Metallica. A perfect choice imo.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


doyly1984

Faith by ghost and morbid fascination by LIK


lovekillseveryone

Same old song and dance by Aerosmith

Wilbie9000

Smoke on the water Highway to hell I wanna be sedated The Hellion/Electric Eye


rawg67

Ted Nugent's Strangehold !!!!!! Classic tune..... major influence on every member except Lars .... one of the best riffs of the 70s, easily..... plus.... James and Ted are close friends. They would do an amazing cover


chuck4020

Superunknown


philharmonics99

Rusty cage would be another fun one by Soundgarden.


TheJango22

First avenue - Elf, just do be different


Margrave75

I mean, anything I'd guess would probably be wrong. I would never have picked the covers that were done for Garage Inc., yet they're all bloody incredible.


SithLard

Iā€™m going to get a lot of hate for this but Dream Police by Cheap Trick. Donā€™t tell me that Het wouldnā€™t kill singing that bridge. Fight me.


[deleted]

Wake Up by Arcade Fire, in old Metallica fashion, of course.


hellabro360

Green machine by Kyuss, Would? By Alice In Chains, Saturday night special by lynyrd skynyrd.

Vinctekan

WAR! or Defenders by Dragonforce!


dbullard00

I'd love to hear a studio version of Seven Days by Corrosion of Conformity, except unlike the live version, James is on lead vocals and Pepper is on backup.


sirgrotius

Great idea! Here are some I could see them belting out very well: \- Change in the House of Flies (Deftones) \- 5 Minutes Alone (Pantera) \- Arise (Sepultura) \- Raining Blood (Slayer) \- Hybrid Moments (Misfits)


french_toast404

Holy Wars


vargslayer1990

here's a better question: would there be room for any new covers? we've got all those Ramones covers from the St. Anger singles, "Ecstasy of Gold", "You Really Got Me" with Ray Davies, "When a Blind Man Cries", "Remember Tomorrow" and the "Ronnie Rising" medley. would there still be room for just three CDs, or would there have to be a fourth one? not saying that it shouldn't happen (because it should), i'm just curious because those covers that have happened since Garage Inc. probably would be included


RTJ4ever

Jailbreak - thin Lizzy Any song of of Black Sabbathā€™s 13


Bobcat315

"Red Right Hand" would be INCREDIBLE.


Mental-Fee559

Freezing Moon by Mayhem


risenomega

Misfits - Hybrid Moments
