Lots of those do not sound good off the bat. But I love Metallica covers so I'll give this a listen.

I don't even know who half of these people are, but its interesting to see so many different takes on these songs. (Interesting doesn't necessarily equal good.) I already hate the way Miley Cyrus does Nothing Else Matters. Maybe thats just because I don't like her, sorry.

I don't like her either. I couldn't believe that was her singing Nothing Else Matters at the beginning. Sounded like she was doing a Mary Ann Faithful impersonation.

Another one, I really dig this. Reminds me of the old Blackest Album tributes from years ago.

Sadly this is NOT on this collection but I had to share it anyway.
I demand all Metallica covers going forward are sung in Mongolian.
