What do you get when you take one of my favorite songs of all time and one of my current favorite metal bands covering it? Somehow an even more awesome version of an already nearly perfect Metallica song.
I am not a Bob Dylan fan, though I can actually listen to All Along the Watchtower by him. That said I much prefer his stuff covered and Jimi blew him out of the water covering All Along the Watchtower.
Yesterday was the Bear McCready cover used as a plot device in Battlestar Galactica, today is Hendrix’s cover of Dylan’s All Along the Watchtower. Of course Jimi’s is the definitive version but I might go ahead and do a three day in a roll and post Dylan’s original tomorrow.
