Can only get away with this gag once (I missed yesterday, oops). But here is Metallica’s cover of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic. A southern rock staple, Metallica covered it for Garage Inc back in 1998. Garage Inc, has a lot more famous tracks, like So What, Whisky in the Jar, and Overkill - but none of them are about Tuesday!

The song itself is a low tempo affair featuring a wide variety of acoustic instrumentation with guitars, harmonicas, pianos, and a low drum mix. And it is a longer one, with a heavy verse, chorus strucure punctuated by a few different solos. Featuring (my music theory being tested here) an eight bar blues progression of some sort, in Ab, and James has to sing in a higher key than I think he’d master today. Looks deceptively simple from Ultimate Guitar but I bet getting those changes and lyrics synced takes sone practice. And lyrically it deals with a break up, the titular Tuesday leaving the singer to wander the trains and plains of their mind, and soul. James doing a great soulful performancs ro match.

Not a huge live staple, who’s seen it before? Or, has anyone seen Skynyrd perform it? Happy Tuesday folks
