the best metallica cover i’ve ever heard




orion was my favorite metallica song–epic and complex, i learned just a bit on guitar. kcrw played a new version a couple nights ago, performed by rodrigo y gabriela, an ireland based acoustic guitar duo with roots in mexico city’s metal scene. their cover is incredible, spanish-tinged but as fiery as the original. rodrigo y gabriela’s self-titled album (recorded in bath, england) was released earlier this week; they perform a short west coast tour later this month.
