In 1973, Thin Lizzy released their classic version for the traditional irish song that became a rock and roll classic. In 1998, on the “Garage Inc.” covers album, Metallica paid they tribute to the band making a version for “Whiskey In The Jar”, winning a Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy for it at the 2000 ceremony.
James Hetfield also shared a photo kissing the state of the late bassist in Dublin:
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
