Metallica’s “Wherever I May Roam” Gets a Unique 30th Anniversary Cover by YouTube All-Stars

YouTube metal all-stars Anthony Vincent, Steve Terreberry, Rudy Ayoub, Hiram Hernandez, Gigi Zimmer, and wienerdrums have teamed up for a special thirtieth anniversary cover of Metallica’s “Wherever I May Roam.” Some of you are going to love it; some of you are going to hate it. None of you will be able to deny that it’s a truly singular take on the song that does a good job of balancing homage and invention. (They also do something really cool at the end at that I won’t spoil for you here.)

Put more simply… this is the best kind of cover.

Check it out below.
