From IrishCentral: " “Whiskey in the Jar,” a song about a notorious Irish highwayman Patrick Fleming who was hanged in 1650, has become Ireland’s oldest most beloved song a true rebel air that stirs the passions." Each generation reinterprets great older songs for themselves. Music is forever.

I had a girl practically beg me to to see Metallica back in 88. I was a country boy. She promised dinner, a show and a good time later. I begrudgingly went. I have loved them ever since.

One of my favourite cover songs

Hell yes

The rythm of this song is absolutly perfect, love that

I love Metallica. Seen them 12 times in concert. I have been listening to them for since their 1st album. I am 59 now and am rocking out to wiskey in the jaro.

My favorite Metallica cover. This song rules.

MetallicA just came to Central América, omg, they kicked ass. I thank God for sharing this planet with them.

My 6 year old daughter told me daddy this is cool song🤘🏻. One of the greatest days of my life 😜👌

So nice to see young people having good, clean fun!

When I think of Metallica, this is how old I think they are in my mind. Nevermind I have every cd and it's 20 years later! Just enjoy it while we can.

Sitting and working while Metallica classics are blasting away in the background is one of life's great pleasures.

they say rock is a kind of violent music but when the rock music have not so many listeners we have the worst world possible

You're never too old for Metallica's music! I'm 53 now and have been listening to them since I was 16 or 17.

This is the best cover EVER! Thin Lizzie did a great job in '72. There have been many covers of this 300+ year old song but this is definitely the best! T.L. brought this very old Irish folk song into mainstream, love Thin Lizzie's cover but Metallica rocks it!

I sang this karaoke in a bar in 2008 gave it my all.. only time I’ve ever done that.. had more high fives & free drinks in my life.. love Metallica

Been loving Metallica since the '80's! Keep killing it!

Ótima musica perfeita desde1986 quando eu tinha 16 anos de idade já curtia metálica e sempre vou curtir metálica para sempre

One of my favorite music videos

Saw these guys 3 times. First time i was 13. Then 19. Then a few yrs ago at 41. Love this band forever 😊😊❤❤

The PERFECT Video. Describing it any further would lessen it. That WAS my 20"s.

Escuto todos os dias essa música !!!!

Literally my favorite Metallica song

обожнюю цю пісню ♡ I love it, it's a masterpiece, like all Metallica songs. ♡♡

Podia ficar dias só ouvindo esse solo de guitarra 😃🎧🎶🤜🤛🎸🙌

Si después de 20 año mi hijos/as están escuchando esta hermosura, estan llendo por el camino correcto ❤

This song is Awesome. Love 💕 Metallica ⚡

When it reached 100 millions, please remaster this video in HD or 4K... this chicks deserved it!

I've lived in Dublin for a year and I was there I used to listen to that song in the Irish pubs almost every day . ❤️

Yeah!!!

Best damned song this band ever recorded! I can rock out to this over & over & over.

Super jacked up version of thin lizzys homage and it's one of the best things Metallicas done in decades

Its nuts I know - but I can not STOP listening to this song and its 16 years old. This has to be my favorite Metallica song - really - they pull this cover off so well- its fucking well done. They had fun with this one - you can tell. And A House Party with a bunch of wasted drunk chicks in Brooklyn I was there- can't forget Brooklyn

Happy New year 23 , old Metallica still rocks !

Phil's still kickin' ass !!! Thank you Metallica for the homage to a legend.

4:34 >Jason: *kicks shelf and it mostly falls* >Lars: *kicks shelf, nothing happens*

10 years gone but still rocking and slaying with this song one of my favs🖤

Esse clip me remete ao ano de 1999... adoro!!!

"Whiskey in the Jar" is an Irish traditional song set in the southern mountains of Ireland, often with specific mention of counties Cork and Kerry. The song, about a rapparee (highwayman) who is betrayed by his wife or lover, is one of the most widely performed traditional Irish songs and has been recorded by numerous artists since the 1950’s.

Oh Lordy, I had forgotten until I read a few of the comments that this video was still getting airplay in the mid 90's. I remember on Compuserve's CB Simulator having a discussion about what this video was like. Some of the comments gave me flashbacks to 1995 and..... I'm just going to shut up before I age myself any further. edited to add: Back in 1995 Thin Lizzy's version was still being played on the air as a "classic from the 70's." I freely admit in 1995 I was only drug-free a year and was still drinking.

Best clip, best cover. That's all folks. ✌ Power grinde

my favourite Metallica song. I know it's a cover but they bring this song to life

Imposible no escuchar éstos fenómenos..sin que me alegren el día aunque sea un mal día siempre que Los escuchó me cargan de algún modo la autoestima..las baterías.. unos de Los mejores grupos en mí opinión..en este estilo de música..lo mejor de lo mejor los amo.. hasta el último día de mi vida siempre Metálica..... Que vivan por siempre.!!🇪🇦👍🙏

Fuckin A 40 years old and still love this song.

ALL THE THE BEST FOR THE NEWLIGHT YEAR 2020, BLESSINGS TO METALLICA AND FANS.

I LOVE Metallica

Garage inc was awesome, wicked nostalgia for this version of metallica

James says yeah 10 times in this song.

METALLICA 1 word, OUTSTANDING!

One of the best covers of all time...if not the best

This is the peak of Metallica. This is when things were golden.

Been at party that we drank from jars🍻Still have THE HD pilot glasses with Mirror glas 🕶l got as a gift as a memory😅

This is most definitely the song of all time this was like high school to me can’t wait to move back there soon for partyings just like this

Metallica 24/7

This makes me want to go back to college,,,, oh wait, I never went to college!! Musha rain dum a doo, dum a da

i love how lars plays in this song. nevermind his abilities but i think his style is just perfect for some songs. he has groove he has power he has the swing and the swagger and most of all his style is very recognizable. i like it and he is/was an inspiration for my own playing.

This one of my FAVORITE songs by them. I love music and the video. I’d love to be able to tear up a house lol

Im 58 and them 3. From kids to adults. Live from moscow is like my favorite ever. The world at peace. Rocking out.

This was the song of my youth, we were 14 when it was released, damn partying these days really was like in this clip!

Im born with 3percent hearing and when I was 11 years old, I walked in a music store and saw the album "kill em all" with a sledgehammer and a puddle of blood..."cooool"....I bought it despite I couldn't hear well and remembers blowing my parents stereo fuses. I'm 41 years old now and I smile at this :)

All is good.

Me encanta Metallica, y amo este tema!!⚡💪

One of my favourite songs !!!!

I love this song so much :DDD I still remember when I heard it for the first time and couldn't believe that was actually Metallica. It's so different and SO fun to play especially at parties. :D

It kicked ass then and stell is

Yeah baby!!!!!

Man Kirk looks so cool! That actually how I see my self in the future (I loved punk and metal styles)

Mano isso é muito bom!!!!

I'm not crazy about Metallica's covers but the original songs they choose to cover are excellent.

One of the best covers ever made in music. Metallica absolutely nailed it.

2021 and still a quality tune.

I love this song. I'm almost 51 and this gets me up and going every time

Se convirtió en mi canción favorita 🤘🏼😎

2024 anyone??

This song will always remind me of my best guy friend that passed away. I miss him every day.

*essa nunca vou enjoar uiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii adoroooooooooo* ♥

Did u guys realise breadfan was playing at the beginning

Metallica just makes me feel………ALIVE!!!!👊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I played this at a huge family party in a hall recently. prior to this song i was playing all sorts of deep house, electro, drum and bass. I decided "fckit" and wanted to really change it up to what I was really feeling-some Metallica. Once Whiskey In The Jar came on, i noticed everyone grooving to it LMFAO not to mention so many people coming up to me either saying "hey this is a thin lizzy remake?????!!" or "hey who is is this? love it!". Got the same reaction to Lowman's lyric, Astronomy and a number of other Metallica ballads I put on \m/

That's awesome!! I remember that song from my childhood. It holds up well. My boy loves it!!

If there were ever a concert I could go to it would be HIS FOR SURE!!!! LOVE METALLICA!!!!!!!!!

2021 activo Buen tema para entrenar a lo loco 🤘🏼

this is true American rock metal whatever you wanna call it Metallica did a great job with this cover

One of the best rock and roll songs ever! I know that its an old irish folk song but WTF it rocks and im no effn kid. 71 and proud of of it.

Gran Canción Metallica son lo máximo 🤘😎🎤🥁🎸🖤

This is the most late 90s/early 2000s thing that ever happened to Metallica
