    Ok so nobody can beat Queen their head and shoulders above everyone. I mean Freddie’s vocals are faster and crisper and the tempo of Queen’s version was tighter. But look how great of Metallica to sing this in tribute to Queen who they say influenced them!

    While I do enjoy the Metallica cover of “Stone Cold Crazy” (and love that they *are* Queen fans), I still enjoy Queen’s original far more.
    But I’ve loved Queen since this very Sheer Heart Attack album (1974) - I was 8 years old lol

    For me I have never been a metalica fan one of the few out there who aren't. For me the difference between the two versions was clarity. the vocals for Freddy Mercury were clean and precise aan instrament in its own rank. The same with the guitar playing. Brian May's guitar playing was to me more pure cleaner than Metallica. Enjoyed both but for me Queen would be my choice no questions asked with more of a pure sound.
    Thanks for the extra video! may even have to give Metallica another try

    Lol, at least I managed to avoid bending over all day and picked cherries and grapes. Not that they didn't have their problems, like chilblains from twisting frosted stems and trying not to fall off a ladder after coming face to face with a giant bird eating spider, when picking cherries. Or trying not to cut yourself instead of the stem of a bunch of grapes. The vines I worked on were old and dense, so was hard to see where you were putting your hands.

    OMG, I spent a very short time picking strawberries when I was 15. I lasted exactly one day. Chris the Curator might even know roughly where the farm was; it was on the main road between Trafalgar and Thorpdale in Victoria. I didn't learn my lesson from that, shortly after I got a job bagging carrots on a farm near Warragul. That lasted just one day as well. I quickly learned that fruit and vegetable picking was not my calling in life.
    I have never seen a video for this song before. Queen's Stone Cold Crazy drums are super current. Check out Anthony Barone if you are interested, he has a bit of stuff on CZcams (Alex and George, you have seen Barone before, George, in particular, liked him); Barone is a beast, and Roger Taylor could be mistaken for him in this track. Freddie's vocals did it for me though, he was spittin' (melodic) bars before any of us knew there were bars to be spat.
    Metallica version: Guitars were much better (could be a recording thing, and the age of the Queen video), but I felt Metallica were cleaner on guitars. Drums? I will have to go back for a second listen; on first take, they didn't stand out as much for me as Taylor did. That could be because the Metallica guitars were higher in the mix ... but school is still out on drums, leaning towards Taylor.
    Vocals: I have to give it to Freddie. First, he's dead, so you have to be kind. However, I like lyrics and vocals. Both are great singers, but I love Freddie's diction in this one. It means so much more when you can hear what they sing.
    I'm going to fall toward Queen on this one, both are quality versions though.

      I've always thought to own a cover you have to surpass the original, and this is still definitively a Queen song, but I agree, great stuff from Metallica. They also played it at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, some er...30 years ago, so they should be good at it by now!.

    Queen and Metallica... What more can you ask for? And Metallica is overrated??? How? They single handedly kept the genre alive in the late 90's and early 00's. You may not like Lars or his drumming all that much, but his effect on the whole metal genre cannot be understated. He has kept Metallica afloat as he has been responsible for all their contracts and business dealings and they didn't get screwed at any point... And now they have their own music label which is, of course releasing their music and supporting numerous other bands. The snot nosed kids of Metallica love music and entertaining the crowds and are still honestly surprised someone wants to come to their gigs as they play outsider music... Metal music is outsider music.
    And Queen kicked off the entire Thrash metal genre with this song. Needless to say the world owes Queen and huge debt of gratitude. And if you look at Queens portfolio of songs it is just incredible. One hit after another. It is just pure wow. And some of these songs are 50 years old now and they still sound very good and relevant. It is impossible what they were able to do back then.
