Apparently the dude posting the video labeled it wrong. Actually it's only Jon Oliva from Savatage singing. Lemmy played bass, Gregg Bissonette played drums, and Bob Balch on guitar. The CD was Metallic Assault: a Tribute to Metallica.

It sounds exactly like James Hetfield's voice. There's no originality in it.

I briefly owned that cd. It was a bunch of different musicians covering Metallica songs. It was ok, but nothing that really stood out. If anything it made me want to listen to the origianls more.

I have "Metallic Attack - The Ultimate Metallica Tribute Album". That album has Dark Angel, Death Angel, Motorhead, Flotsam & Jetsam, Testament, etc. doing Metallica coves.

I completely agree. When a cover is so closely following the original; i question the entire point of it. It's just karaoke. You should try to add something different to the song; imposing your own personality upon it while retaining the spirit and essence of the original. Wrathchild by Ultimatum is a fine, albeit obvious, example of a cover done right.

Jon is Jon is Jon. I don't care about the music. If I wanna listen to Metallica, I can put on Metallica. But I just love the man's voice!

My thoughts exactly. A friend sent me this cover a few years back, and whilst it almost is a carbon copy, it's great hearing Jon sing it.

On the low register he sounds like James, but on the high end he sounds like himself.
