i was going to say that i'm surprised so many people don't realize that Metallica's Whiskey in The Jar is a cover, but trying to find the original composer (i thought The Highwaymen did it first) the song is actually a traditional Irish folk song that dates back to the 17th century. so a 400 year gap from when i thought the song was first done is quite the difference
