Turn The Page
I think that both artists did a good job on "Turn The Page". The heavy style from Metallica fits quite well to this song. But I like the calm-country-style version by Bob Seger better.
So what is your opinion? I can imagine that lots of younger people don't even know the original version by Bob Seger. So take the chance and listen to this great song.

Comments about Turn The Page:
Bob Seger's song is great, but Metallica brings an edge to the song. My vote goes to the cover version.

There is a band in Holland, called JR Band, who did a real good job at covering this song... I heard it for the first time, 8 years ago and I just love it! I wished I could find a sample, but too sad... Nothing. Just believe me ;)

well, I've just today realized (after listening to one of our radio stations) that "turn the page" was not original metallica song. after some searching found one Bob Seger concert version on youtube.
Great one! REALLY, REALLY great one! and to me - way better than the cover.

Metallica can go fuck a horse. Each and every Metallica song sounds exactly the same. Bob Seger did it first, and he did it better. What's ridiculous is that Metallica has quite a few of these cover songs thats seem to sound EXACTLY like their own song. Do you think they ever get tired of the same lousy chord progression and metal drum beats? I'm sure homeless people are pretty fucking tired of being homeless... I can't believe you people. After voting for Metallica, please follow my instructions: 1. Get on a riding lawn mower at 1:30 AM. 2. Engage the blade. 3.Drive directly into oncoming traffic on a major highway. 4(if necessary). Tie yourself to the rear axel of a Fedex delivery truck.

I like Metallicas version but it is no where near the intensity of Bobs, I don't like how they get rid of the horns and Segers tortured cries at the end of the song are not topped by Hetfields. And yes idiot Seger had plenty of good songs

I remember telling my friend that Metallica did a cool cover of a Bob Sieger song, and he replied that there wasn't any cool Bob Sieger songs. Metallica does a wicked job with this song and really brings it alive. Sounds great loud!

The Metallica version of the song had more intensity in it
and in addition to that it also had a good metallic touch
also the vocals were in line with the music

Both are great, however, here in Australia we grew up we a cover by a guy called John English who topped the charts with it in 1977. It's such agreat song it would be hard to srew it up!

+1 to the previous comment
Metallica version is good, but Bob Seger's version to me is more intensive
- gigabass, Ratingen, Germany, 06.07.2007 |
Both are excellent interpretations in their own way. But the quiet delivery by Bob, to me, illustrates the lonely time on the road...the unwanted time for introspection and lack of connection to anyone anywhere. Quiet desperation even.
