My favorite is Chris Stapleton’s version of Nothing Else Matters on the Blacklist.

I was a big fan of his before he released his cover. But that took it to another level.

Yes! Came here to say this! Also thanks to this cover, I got into his music more generally.

Came here to say this, but also to say that I think it's better than Metallica's.

It’s really good. I’m not sure if it’s better than Metallica’s though.

I currently like it better but I have serious listening fatigue for Metallica’s version. I just have heard that song so many times.

i love it because it really does feel like “if ghost wrote enter sandman” and not just “ghost playing metallicas song enter sandman”

This was an incredible cover. I had 2% hope they played it on this tour with Metallica. But they did not. Still a great show though.

Definitely not Motorhead's version of "Whiplash" which for some reason won them a Grammy, but I remember liking "Trapped Under Ice" by Death Angel from the same tribute album

Mixed Up Everything does some cool stuff. They have an unplugged rendition of Master of Puppets that's worth checking out.

At around the 8 minute mark, at the end of Cave In’s “Crambone”, they do a medley that rules! Probably my favorite for 20 plus years now.

As I’m a recent new huge fan of Orbit Culture after seeing them in January, they have a cover of Hardwired and it’s amazing!

Cover band "Blistered Earth" does a great job. Seen em twice, and they killed it both times. They even got the look down.

Ha*ash - The Unforgiven and some band whose name I can't remember, but they did Ktulu telling a story over it, probably something from HP Lovecraft.

Andre Antunes. Master of Puppets in the style of Muse. A multilayered cover. I love it and think it's spot on.
