It's a tribute. A compliment to Knopfler and The Straits. To have someone of Metallicas success giving recognition to my favourite band of all time touches me. It probably touches Mark Knopfler too.
Relax nerds, Metallica liked the song so they covered it, CZcams commenters are such weirdos that they have to make everything deep and meaningful, cringe
I heard it years ago and couldn't find it again...unfortunately...hearing it again now and the band of brothers scenes is so beautiful and sad at the same time.....thanks for uploading it
I grew up listening to both bands. NO band will ever manage to compose/sing this song like the original... simply because of the way Dire Straits sang the song. But please.... this if f***ing awesome too!!! - MY OPINION
Metallica is making tribute to rock legends Dire Straits. Metallica's version is awesome ,it's very beautiful to listen this version , but Dire Stratis are perfection ! Respect for Metallica ,and Dire Straits too !
never gonna forget that day when i shared a good moment with my friends (brothers) and we listen to this song , it was a great and unforgettable , i hope we gonna spend more fine days like that.
Even Mark Knopfler is enjoying his whiskey while listening to this cover. A big Thank you too Metallica for giveing us this lovely interpretation of one of the beste songe ever knowed to mankind :))
there's a quote which is too deep to understand - i mean i cant still decrypt it and it goes like - " Men come and go but the MAN goes on forever..."...- it's like spirit of manhood continues come what may and is embedded in every man's soul...- no matter what happens - " let me bid you farewell , every man has to die ..-Life goes on"...- The first metaphysical poet" john dunne " said -" Every man's death diminishes me for i am involved in mankind therefore never sent to know for whom the bell tolls - IT TOLLS FOR THEE "..We are all brothers in arms.... AMEN...........
Jeder, der sein eigenes Leben jemals in die Hände anderer - gleichgesinnter legte (so wie ich einst 1989) fühlt und versteht die wahrheit dieses songs! danke für dieses lied!
I am a Private Military Contractor, romanian by origin but hired by an american mercenary firm. I served so far in Afghanistan and Iraq. Every time i am sent there i listen to this song, it calms me. GOD BLESS all my brothers in arms, wether they are, Marines, Rangers, Seals, Air force, Romanian special forces or other branches from different countries because we all spill our blood on those lands.
Knopfler may not be the best singer in the world, but his guitar does the singing for him. THAT is what this song is missing.....the second melody provided by Mark's beautiful guitarmanship.
Aktueller denn je. Sollte jeden tag innder ganzen Welt im Radio laufen! Hope to see you in paradise ...in everlasting peace.... for ALL my brothers in arms in the world ! We were foold
+Arley Prates Claro.....os caras do Metallica apenas fizeram uma homenagem...Os caras já acham que eles querem roubar a musica dos Straits....eu leio os coments e dou risada....
I grew up listening to both Metallica and Dire Straits and I love both bands...Personally I think Metallica should have left this one alone. Just my opinion.
+SonicRising I think that the didnt take the right aproach to the song, they could have covered it more metallica style and it would have been amazing.
Very good song from this band one of my favorite,s band,s ever time I hare this song it makes me upset my heart goes out to everyone that has been in the war thanks for saving us and protecting us
oft frage ich mich, was aus den vielen jungen Soldaten ( Bamberg-Germany) die ich kannte geworden ist, haben sie den Krieg überstanden??? noch sehe ich viele, viele die sich in der Hoffnung uns wieder zu sehen verabschiedeten, aber ich habe nie mehr etwas von ihnen gehört...
BBelt Metallica Covered it from the Dire Straits. And NOOOOOOO Mark Knopfler the Original Singer And Guitarist from the Dire Straits is a too big Legend to cover
I think the same could have been said for disturbed Covering Simon and Garfunkel yet Disturbed got a message from Garfunkel praising their performance on the sound of silence. legendary to who? there are many people who have no clue who he is and would hate his music, Covers are just that covers, some get it right and do amazing and give a different feel to the original song. I'm sure some love this cover and don't care for the original and vice versa but it's just down to personal preference and personal opinion. But either way they performed this at a charity event so good for Metallica for doing something different to themselves.
It's not horribly done.... But... This version doesn't have the passion of the original.. Or other Metallica songs. Whiskey in the Jar and Enter the Sandman come to mind. I honestly feel their agents put them up to this song, and they didn't want to do it.
Hi it is a cover not a literal interpretation, I feel that whoever covers it, take the message it portrays and hold it in your heart and thank all those who have given their lives for our freedom.
I`m a life long 'Metalhead`, love bands like metallica, megadeth, pantera, death, amon amarth, but James Hetfield does NOT have the voice for this song, IMHO Dire Straites and Mark Knopfler did the original and best!
Exactly what I think. In fact, let me add that James sings way better (technically speaking) than Mark, but this song fits Mark's voice better. Anyway, I don't hate this version at all either.
I have to disagree on you comment. This is a live version, a studio one would sound very diferent, and just like "When a blind man cries" James knows how to do some pretty powerful covers.
I have been a Metallica fan since the late 80's but this cover lacks the heartfelt emotion of the Dire Straits original. Knopfler's soulful, haunting voice was filled with such emotion and sadness that you almost felt he had experienced what his lyrics were describing. This cover is not even close.

Two of my favourite bands too, I'm a Geordie and Dire Straits are part of our culture and heritage 👌🏻

for the boys that never got to go home...respect and love for our fallen men which ever country your from ..
😢 lovely words my friend! And so truh!!! Im so sad...
Greetings from Austria!!!
Love from 🇮🇳 my frnd
Absolutely 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
Dire Strait's song was about soldiers in battle.
Metallica's cover was about the soldiers going through the battle.
This song was inspired by the Guerra de Malvinas/Falklands War, which was going on when Mark Knopfler wrote the song.
In battle or (in your words) going through it. Whats the difference, They've all been there.
I heard it years ago and couldn't find it again...unfortunately...hearing it again now and the band of brothers scenes is so beautiful and sad at the same time.....thanks for uploading it
Goes to show what an epically good guitarist Mark Knopfler is.
exactly. Metallica are incredible but Mark is untouchable. Makes them look like chumps.
And singer....
Agreed on both....
Jerry Runstrom both are great
I love old school Metallica but yeah Dire Straights did it right the first time!
I grew up listening to both bands. NO band will ever manage to compose/sing this song like the original... simply because of the way Dire Straits sang the song. But please.... this if f***ing awesome too!!! - MY OPINION
Totally agree! I love the original song, but to have my favorite band covering one of my favorite songs is a rare treat. :3
Love it, it’s got a twist to it at the end, with Jame’s voice. Metallica forever! 🤟🏼
Metallica is making tribute to rock legends Dire Straits. Metallica's version is awesome ,it's very beautiful to listen this version , but Dire Stratis are perfection ! Respect for Metallica ,and Dire Straits too !
I love the original but Hetfield's voice is so damn powerful!
never gonna forget that day when i shared a good moment with my friends (brothers) and we listen to this song , it was a great and unforgettable , i hope we gonna spend more fine days like that.
Gay
I'm glad there's now 2 versions of this great song. Both by the greatest bands.
3 actually I like home free’s version as well
Awesome.....reminds me of the days when I was a soldier of fortune!.....dedicated to members of 22 parakomando.
Efectivamente de Dire straits 1985 , pero magistralmente tocada por esta gente , que buena versión....... exelente
I love this tune by dire straits and dont normaly agree with covers but this is a great cover love hearing it and a great video to band of brothers
Even Mark Knopfler is enjoying his whiskey while listening to this cover. A big Thank you too Metallica for giveing us this lovely interpretation of one of the beste songe ever knowed to mankind :))
This kind of performance is a beautiful gesture what a musician can show towards another one. No matter how good it was performed.
Fascinante... simplesmente de arrepiar!
Never got tired of this masterpiece, both original and this cover. Roll the vinyl, open a beer, paradise...
first time i heard this version--holds up to a great song--good job!
The video and the message it portrays are amazing.
Great how he has done this tribute in his own style i am a massive dire straits and think this version is good aswell

Big thanks for the upload. Enjoyed muchly. :-)
Unforgettable, not tired of listening.

Sure you are,you beg on the street like every other Romani
metallica can do anything, even this
Me faz pensar muito sobre valores, importância e sobre as pessoas que andam ao meu lado. As que penso amar. Pensamentos produtivos...
love the song specially with Metallica

Ну так приди сюда в Украину и ты поймёшь
Every great band on every great war movie or serie... always great. Love the Doors on Apocalypse Now or Metallica on saving private Ryan...
Vjera,Nada i Ljubav kroz Put,Istinu i Život...
I grew up listening to both Metallica and Dire Straits and I love both bands...Personally I think Metallica should have left this one alone. Just my opinion.
SonicRising - definitely with you on that one mate.
+SonicRising I agree! Although I still love the Metallica sound and their own influence.
+SonicRising I think that the didnt take the right aproach to the song, they could have covered it more metallica style and it would have been amazing.
+SonicRising they do it justice, james' pain filled voice is perfect for this.
+SonicRising I totally agree. To be fair, the original is tough to beat...
“We are fools to make war on our brothers in arms”
Man.....
Metallicagood as usual very strong piece to our platoon. BRAVO
Very good song from this band one of my favorite,s band,s ever time I hare this song it makes me upset my heart goes out to everyone that has been in the war thanks for saving us and protecting us

Super ¡¡¡ excellent version achieved by Metallica ...
Disturbed should cover this.

Mr Hammett!
Fantástico! Viagem total!!!
Just Wicked Awesome
no one does it better then dire straits
Sonia, per te
versione stupenda Simona Battistelli ! Buona giornata cara :-)
When he say "Will be return" make me cry...and i only can't keep calm and...I break in cries...
I Love it 🤘🏽😍😍
I think that is so much batter then the original... i love the metallica style and james sings very nice.
Thinking doesn't seem to be your best quality, no offense.
Not your fault if you and real music don't get along. Enjoy this shit
This is why Dire Straits had to exist, no one else can perform this song without sounding...well...like this...
Yep that is terrible cover. "Brothers in armsa" YEAH! So bad! XD
and vocals are awsome
Best rendition ever METALLICA 4eva¡¡
whats wrong with u all ...this is a cool tribute.
he doesnt seem to sing with depth.. he doesnt speak to the soul but to emotions, just blahblah in his mouth pff..
Oz Peled that's cause you've never been there. the words are all the fucking same
To my mind mind James' Vocals paint quite a good picture of war and its horror. Dont like his voice much but this version is good work. Peace !
Lorenor Zorro ty for sharing your point of view
It's not horribly done.... But... This version doesn't have the passion of the original.. Or other Metallica songs. Whiskey in the Jar and Enter the Sandman come to mind. I honestly feel their agents put them up to this song, and they didn't want to do it.
This Song´s amazing. But The Version from Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler is the Best.
Hi it is a cover not a literal interpretation, I feel that whoever covers it, take the message it portrays and hold it in your heart and thank all those who have given their lives for our freedom.
Very melodic awesome! To the Men and Women of our Armed Forces, I Salute You, Thank You. Thanks Dad! Love you see once again
simplesmente sensacional;incrivel
This is one they should have said, "OK, we can't better this" and walked away. This is dire.
I`m a life long 'Metalhead`, love bands like metallica, megadeth, pantera, death, amon amarth, but James Hetfield does NOT have the voice for this song, IMHO Dire Straites and Mark Knopfler did the original and best!
Exactly what I think. In fact, let me add that James sings way better (technically speaking) than Mark, but this song fits Mark's voice better.
Anyway, I don't hate this version at all either.
agree
Porque você não pode por p gravação
I have to disagree on you comment. This is a live version, a studio one would sound very diferent, and just like "When a blind man cries" James knows how to do some pretty powerful covers.
É assim que se arranca a alma de uma musica.
se it as a tribute from the one of the greatest bands to one of one of the best guitarplayers ever...:)
I have been a Metallica fan since the late 80's but this cover lacks the heartfelt emotion of the Dire Straits original. Knopfler's soulful, haunting voice was filled with such emotion and sadness that you almost felt he had experienced what his lyrics were describing. This cover is not even close.
I wonder what original movies is this cut from.
Thank you!
The surreal McCoy just band of brothers. Great amazing hbo series. I recommend it a lot. My favorite.
there are so many different notes, so many different songs, and you just chose the right ones, but you play a different song.
great ,my brothers remember Fayetteville in 1983 at my place, great time Lars and the boys before the accident,Jeffrey CLARK
