For Whom The Bell Tolls - 3 Times

Posted By: Paul Morris ` · 5/16/2012 12:51:00 PM

Metal has a way of clearing my head..

Today, I had one of those mornings and I found my cure in Pantera's "Walk" & "F***in' Hostile" and Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls". I got lost on YouTube again and dug up all kinds versions of the song. We'll save the original with Cliff Burton for last,

First up is My Son The Hurricane from St. Catharines and their horny version of the classic.

 

 

My Son The Hurricane will be playing at S.C.E.N.E. Music Fest on June 24th. CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS ABOUT THE FESTIVAL.

APOCALYPTICA - I forgot about these guys - 4 classically trained cellists who started this band by playing classical covers of Metallica songs. They don't get into "For Whom..." til the 2:50 mark. check it out:

  

 

Alright, those are okay but nothing can touch the original. Here's an early video with bassist Cliff Burton to remind you how great he was and that the lead at the beginning of the song was on a bass guitar! ....time marches on!
