    I can’t compare the Metallica version to the BOC version they are completely different. And because of that I love them both.

  19. atouchofevil01 says:

    the original version from blue oyster cult is better to my.
    but thi one is great too

  20. MissHeledore says:

    orgasm…

  21. eclectictllc says:

    Note there’s 2 studio recordings of Astronomy by BOC — one slower and more like a ballad, the other more metal. this Metallica one resembles the ballad, so make sure you check out both BOC versions!

    The other issue is the lyrics. It’s the Four Winds Barn. Susie is a repeat character in many BOC songs. BOC has a huge number of albums, I highly recommend at least checking them out. Some of my favorites include Flaming Telepaths and Harvest Moon.

  22. Lobo1888 says:

    BOC were an extraordinary band, but comparing the original version with this one is simply comparing prog. rock with metal. I like both version in their own unique way. Song is simply great!

    103 people just want to be a pain in the ass, 2472 people know what good music is.

  25. juv3ntin says:

    @Mililley
    no. Disc one was recoded in one month in 1998. (11 songs, including Astronomy)

    you are talking about the The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited, Jason’s first…that appeared in 1987, and (like i already said) is on the second disc of Garage Inc, along with Motorheadache (1995), Garage Days Revisited(1984) and the other covers form B sides singles (1988-1991)

    @meccaollielord ”Lasers, long hair and the Les Paul. The three most important ‘L’s? in rock and roll” Don’t forget the subtle occult references for those in the know =D

  28. Metallicazor says:

  29. KyleJS30 says:

  30. zagarmonster says:

    @KyleJS30
