Sara Bareilles - Take on me

 

[ImperialSunlight]

Jimi Hendrix covered a lot of things and all of his covers were better. Also the Metallica version of "Am I Evil?".

Trivium's cover of Master of Puppets. No contest

They're almost exactly the same.

I know many of you are all about metal and hard rock, but there's something so soothing about his version.
