    I've heard this song a zillion times but some reason hearing this made me really emotional?... great cover.

      That makes no sense. As you do your Laundry if your clothes are dirty. Not clean

      I had to wash my hands with highly concentrated dish soap and use sandpaper on the nails and use moisturizer

    When I was young, teachers and priests wouldn't stop yelling that rock and heavy metal are evil music. And now I'm listening to this man playing Metallica in a church and, nothing else matters.

      The religion in Denmark is also much more tolerant over things people love. They’re not going to judge what type of music you like (ofc there’s maybe some who does but that’s a minority). And a priest can also be married or be a woman in danish church.

    Wow! Very impressive. So crisp and spot on with some surprising additions to an already fantastic song. I'm sure I'll be coming back to this video many times in the future!
