The Only Banjo Cover of Metallica's "Battery" You'll Ever Need
Mumford & Sons might have buried the banjo, but this Metallica cover says otherwise.
Watch above as these metal lovers take on "Battery," the intro track to the outfit's must-own Master of Puppets album. The original's incessant heavy-metal guitars and electrifying solos are replaced with calm, twangy banjo strums. But the cover keeps the pounding drums and throaty screams that all act as a rather fascinating juxtaposition alongside the country-fried chords.
