Motörhead's cover of Enter Sandman is a fantastic cover, but it is not better than the original, just different.
And as for that Machine Head cover of Battery... Battery was a track written at the height of the ballcrushing powers that Metallica possessed,
before they became a Garth Brooks wannabe quartet during their black album days, and lost their own nuts, and thereby their ability to crush other
nuts.
Nothing, no one, not a single person ever born to play guitar, rock a mic, or beat drums, could ever hope to conquer the best material that Metallica
wrote. I have heard lots of covers of Black Album songs by other bands, which were better than the originals, but covering Metallica tracks from the
days when the band was in its prime? I would not touch that with a space elevator.
