Description: Metallica covered Stone Cold Crazy as their contribution to the compilation album "Rub¨¢iy¨¢t ¨C Elektra's 40th Anniversary" and was later used as a B-side of their "Enter Sandman" single and subsequently won a Grammy Award for their version, which also appeared in their covers' album Garage Inc.. The Metallica version of the song is more aggressive than the original; they also slightly altered the lyrics, adding profanity and changing the more humorous lines for more violent lyrics, such as "walking down the street/shooting people that I meet/with my fully loaded tommy gun". James Hetfield once sang it together with Queen & Tony Iommi (singing Metallica's altered lyrics) at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. Hellyeah played Metallica's version of Stone Cold Crazy on the 2007 Family Values Tour. Sometimes referring to it under the title "Stone Cold Wasted".
