3.10.2008 - Battery?

Dear Scorpion,

A friend of mine recently gave me a home-made cd with a band doing a cover of the Metallica song "Battery" on it, he said it was Megadeth playing it. the vocals do sound similar to that of Dave Mustaine's, but i was wondering if Megadeth have ever done a cover of "Battery".
thanx a bunch,


Henri

Henri, you might want to tell your friend that he is mistaken. The cover of the Metallica song "Battery" that you're asking about is from the album "Metal Militia - A Tribute to Metallica II" that was released in 1996. "Battery" was covered by a band called Blakk Totem on that album, not by Megadeth. In fact, Megadeth has never covered a Metallica song, so do me a favor and set your friend straight on the truth concerning this issue.
