Both are great but you have to understand this for Metallica was for their garage inc. album that was all covers of bands that inspired Metallica. So while Metallica version is better for metal heads the original by ANWL is punk classic so close call. Love them both.
It's like the difference between a small budget, indie film versus a huge budget, studio backed, blockbuster summer film. It all depends on your personal taste.
Anti-Nowhere League don't have a 'version'. It's their song! Metallica is simply covering the song, so by definition Metallica's 'version' is derivative. They've taken a punk rock song and fed it into the Metallica franchise machine, made it part of the Metallica brand. Metallica, collectively, are better musicians, but this is PUNK! And Metallica ain't punk. They sound too corporate-friendly, too polished, in a sense too establishment. The spirit of punk is rebellion and resistance, to hell with all comers. You might compare this to Metallica's Thin Lizzy cover. It's the same problem.

Metallica actually has been everywhere.
All 7 continents in 1 year..
The best band in the world !!!!!
Thats amazing🔥
These all are facts!!! I believe #2 in sales worldwide only behind the Beatles!!!
Haha this is slow for Metallica man. If you want to hear some of their fast songs, react to damage inc, dyers eve or fight fire with fire
This is actually a close one. I really can’t pick. because I like the punk rock sound and I like the metal sounds.🪓🤡❤️🪓
OK Metallica by one percent
Metallica is a better version imo. I do like the British version only due to the accent
Metallica wins by far... but... it was a punk song so... if u like that early punk sound, then im sure u go for the first one. Metallica FAN4LIFE🤘🏽😎
A.N.L all the way . 🇬🇧
