Metallica - Overkill Lyrics






Only way to feel the noise
Is when it's good and loud
So good I can't believe it
Screamin' with the crowd

Don't sweat it
Give it back to you
Don't sweat it
Give it back to you
Overkill
Overkill
Overkill
Shut up

On your feet you feel the beat
It goes straight to your spine
Shake your head, you must be dead
If it don't make you fly

Don't sweat it
Give it back to you
Don't sweat it
Give it back to you
Overkill
Overkill
Overkill
Get the fuck down

Ooh yeah

Know your body's made to move
It goes straight to your spine
You gotta move it
If it don't make you fly

Don't sweat it
Give it back to you
Don't sweat it
Give it back to you
Overkill
Overkill
Overkill
Get on it!

    Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud.
    So good I can't believe it, screaming with the crowd.
    Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you.
    Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you.
    Overkill, overkill, overkill

    On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine.
    Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly.
    Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you.
    Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you.
    Overkill, overkill, overkill

    Know your body's made to move, ya feel it in your guts.
    Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make a strut.
    Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you.
    Don't sweat it, we'll get it back to you.
    Overkill, overkill, overkill

  2. L.... L....

    I don't know why, but James's voice sounds really off in this one, it's a shame because this version is great.

  3. �.... �....

    I think Motörhead did a cover of this

  4. h.... h....

    sounds like good..

  5. T.... ....

    So like... the mumbling at around 1:56 or something???

  6. M.... O....

    As soon as lars kicks in you know you are in big trouble boy!!!!!

  7. B.... E....

    I came here from Battle Beast just to reminisce about the past ^_0

  8. M.... O....

    From the opening drums i always crank it up Jason could have sang this definitely 😁 xxx

  9. K.... K....

    1:26, when I get a quadruple kill in Overwatch to capture the point

  10. B.... ....

    Bruce Willis, give it back to you.

    B.... ....

    So good lol. Been listening to this since i was in elementary school and never caught that till almost 29 years old haha

  11. k.... ....

    that neverfucknending solo is a beast

  12. k.... 7....

    Amazing, the vocals here are great

  13. s.... ....

    If u think this sucks you need to be kicked in the nuts

  14. E.... S....

    boa essa versão

  15. S.... ....

    Motörhead can cover Metallica, but Metallica can't cover Motörhead.

    S.... ....

    The Vocal is better by Motörhead, but the Last solo blows all away man. Also pssst

  16. A.... C....

    Lemmys voice is always natural because of that he was always badass... But james's artificial and disturbing

  17. G.... M....

    kirks solo is insane if im honest

  18. h.... h....

    best metallica...

  19. S.... B....

    Where's the bass? All of it sounds weak as

  20. j.... ....

    Retards here argue about how bad this sounds compared to the original. Yes the original motorhead version is cleaner and sounds better and this doesn't. Well did you ever thought a possibility that this is just a cover recorded all in one take? Thought so. That's the whole point of this Carage Inc. record, just covers.

    j.... ....

    juhah Yeah I mean, wasn't this a live recording?

    j.... ....

    Lars fucked up the begining and for that he shall never be forgiven

  21. h.... h....

    one of the best rock song.

  22. A.... S....

    Even here lars fuck it up

  23. J.... R....

    Okay.. The vocals may not be that great... But that guitar... Damn :D

    J.... R....

    The last solo blows all away man =)
    Is this Kirk or James ^^

  24. T.... T....

    Cliff is in heaven teaching lemmy how to play bass with his fingers, Lemmy is teaching Cliff how to play with a pick.

  25. R.... M....

    woops, james or kirk's mistake at 1:50, wrong chord part, haha.

    R.... M....

    That would be James'.. James actually plays the solo that starts at 2:18 that comes from the same side of the speakers as the rhythm guitar. This a "live" studio cover which they recorded pretty much in one take so there are other mistakes too.

  26. T.... G....

    beautiful cover

  27. S.... ....

    good album by metalfourca

  28. D.... J....

    I remember... great energy in the 2000!!

  29. H.... ....

    It's not a studio version. Anyways, Metallica are the right band to cover Motörhead.

  30. W.... W....

    If you cover Motörhead is gonna be bullshit
    If Motörhead covers your song is the better version.

  31. t.... m....

    Probably James' worst vocal work

    t.... m....

    yea. I gotta agree. still an amazing singer though. Dave mustaine is a really good singer too.

    t.... m....

    Overkill's Overkill is much better, if you want to listen imo

    t.... m....

    Lalá it can't be bad it's a fucking Motörhead tune 🤘🏻😝🤘🏻

    t.... m....

    He's obviously imitating Lemmy's vocals here.

    t.... m....

    ...I AM THE TABLE!

  32. J.... B....

    i love this song overkill by metallica.the tune is superb

  33. J.... B....

    i love this song overkill by metallica.the tune is superb

  34. s.... m....

    the thing people dont understand is that making covers of somebodys songs is not trying to sound exactly as the original but to make ti sound like yourself. if you compare this version to the original, ofcourse it doesnt sound the same. but its metallica stlye and its ok

    s.... m....

    Thanks for explaining that professor genius.

    s.... m....

    This is awful, btw.

    s.... m....

    Now is it ok to say that Metallica style sucks ? Cause it does, a lot.

    s.... m....

    @LANGOUSTE UH is it OK to say, you suck

  35. w.... e....

    fast, sloppy and fucking mental !!!!
    thats your original Metallica !!!!!
    pay attention! !!!😛😝

    w.... e....

    just the way i like em. METALLICA FOR LIFE!

  36. w.... e....

    fast, sloppy and fucking mental !!!!
    thats your original Metallica !!!!!
    pay attention! !!!😛😝

  37. h.... h....

    best metallica...

  38. h.... h....

    best wersion this song...

  39. s.... ....

    1:51 wtf

  40. A.... ....

    This would be awesome if it was done during the Black Album era instead of Load.

  41. M.... A....

    I prefer this version than the original..

    M.... A....

    I think the only problem with this version is Lars' completely butchering the intro.

  42. C.... T....

    I want Cliff Burton again . . . and Lemmy too!

  43. �.... �....

    Rip Lemmy

  44. T.... R....

    Lemmy IS THE bass player !!! Jason need more metal, and more bass power ! RIP murder one ...

  45. s.... ....

    Best band to cover Motorhead, so raw, no other band can pull it off like Metallica.

    s.... ....

    +slantyrock Amen to that. Perhaps the surviving members of Motorhead can get some gigs together with Hetfield (and maybe Rob) to pay the last tribute to Lemmy.

    s.... ....

    You don't listen to a lot of Metal do you?...

    s.... ....

    @Duke Nukem metallica is not a die hard metal band. Metallica are real musicians the can do many genres

  46. M.... ....

    RIP Lemmy

  47. R.... �....

    I prefer original one.

  48. d.... ....

    Lars ruins another song, who knew? I mean ruined as in the drum audio is a lot louder than it should be.

    d.... ....

    +dementionX That's not Lar's fault. It's whoever did the mixing and recording.

    d.... ....

    Lars sounds faster than the original. That's fucking insane and the guitars are from heaven

  49. F.... G....

    Put speed on 1.25, maybe thank me later

    F.... G....

    aaah but 1,5? hahaha

    F.... G....

    Lars thanks you ....

    F.... G....

    I liked it less on that speed -1

    F.... G....

    The track is faster than the original

  50. g.... ....

    Unlike the other covers in garage inc , overkill was done crappy crapply hyper super crappy done.. Holy shit lol

    g.... ....

    +Eddie Hunter 666 I quite much like it.

    g.... ....

    +Eddie Hunter 666 I like how rough and impromptu it sounds though. Sounds like a bunch of guys jamming in a garage in the 70s/80s.

    g.... ....

    i fell like it was rushed. but still sounds good. of course I like every Metallica song so what do i know?

  51. M.... C....

    Not even close to how good Motorheads version is, and I'm a long time Metallica fan but this just doesn't hold up at all.

    M.... C....

    Yeah, I agree but live cover versions are better than studio..

    M.... C....

    +Michael Creed Agree . . . the problem here is the vocals

    M.... C....

    I do not think that it supposed to be better. It is a clear sign of respect and admiration.

    M.... C....

    M C Metallica's covers of Motorhead are their only bad covers imo

  52. m.... ....

    I love Overkill. I've I had a son who is my dog, and my WoW character, I would call him Overkill or Bomber... I love Bomber too. But the best solution would be Bomberkill.

    m.... ....

    +mr.Tajtas wat

    m.... ....

    +mr.Tajtas jajaja clap clap

    m.... ....

    BOMBERKILL! this needs to happen.

  53. H.... H....

    best version this song...great.

  54. H.... H....

    wery fine ....fine version this song...

  55. H.... H....

    all time best metallica song....

    H.... H....

    dude wtf it's not even the song of metallica. it's a cover

  56. V.... S....

    Aguante Motorhead Ufff...

  57. S.... G....

    This isn't studio, it's live at Lemmy's birthday party in '95, recorded direct from the board.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_of_the_Day - this was originally released on here.

    S.... G....

    +Scott Green No it wasnt, when they played at Lemmys birthday party the stopped after the first "restart", and then they launched into Damage Case. The 4 Motörhead covers they did on Garage Inc was recorded live during rehearsals for the birthday party in a rehearsal studio.

  58. J.... ....

    Ehhh Jame's vocals aren't the greatest here. I'll still head bang to it though haha good song

  59. C.... J....

    Si que es verdad que esta es mejor que la original pero enter sandman la hace mejor Motörhead

    C.... J....

    +Carl Jonson Pero que dices!!!!!!!!!! Aqui se nota un monton la falta del bajo como el de Lemmy. Y todas las canciones de Motorhead que no tienen la voz de Lemmy pierden mucho. Es un buen cover, pero ni se acerca al original.

    C.... J....

    @Vangonaj me gusta mucho mas como canta esta canción hetfield aunque falte ese súper bajo de lemmy (y uno de los mejores grupos si no el mejor es Motörhead)

    C.... J....

    @Carl Jonson
    Para gustos los colores XD

    C.... J....

    No, lo contrario las versiones originales son mejores, aunque las alternativas no suenen nada mal.

    C.... J....

    Vamos a dejar este tema ya, Lemmy murió ayer, creador del Heavy Metal. Descanza en Paz.

  60. P.... ....

    Jason should've sung this since he sounds quite like lemmy

    P.... ....

    +Metallist yea and someone else hut that bass properly . Not like a pussy

    P.... ....

    Nobody cares about the bassist until he dies

    P.... ....

    @Phant0mGetsuga993 Cliff and lemmy

    P.... ....

    Jason sounds NOTHING like Lemmy.

    P.... ....

    I don't know if he sounds like Lemmy, but yes, he should have sung this

  61. d.... ....

    Lars is making this song sound slower than it is.

    d.... ....

    maybe the 2007 version, but the original recording is at this pace

    d.... ....

    yeah lars is bad yeah lars is shit, shut up und hear of the last solo, that solo blows all away

  62. j.... h....

    but i like!!!!!!!

  63. a.... f....

    James please stick to your own vocals..
    Sincerely, The Metallica Army

  64. M.... C....

    Unlike Motörhead's cover of enter sandman, this is shite. The lyrics are fucked over by an attempt to emulate Lemmy and the guitar doesn't have the drive of the Motörhead original.

    M.... C....

    are you high? he's not even attempting to sound like Lemmy here

  65. C.... R....

    Mejor que la original !!!!(disculpen pero es la neta)
    Tallica baby!

    C.... R....

    +Carlos F. Ramirez Diaz No tienes npi

  66. A.... W....

    My two favorite Metallica albums are in justice for all and SNM but I'm not saying that I don't like their other albums I like a lot of their stuff but after they started rolling downhill I just got so disappointed I stop listening to them altogether

    A.... W....

    well, bye.

  67. T.... ....

    James's vocals are completely fucked up here.

    T.... ....

    I'd have to agree... :p

    T.... ....

    like striku said , Jason have sung it

    T.... ....

    Yeah.. love metallica, but wtf is going on here..

    T.... ....

    Its a cover song from motorhead.

    james is doing Lemmy's voice.

    T.... ....

    Unknown *Attempting to do Lemmy's voice. Even though he didn't sound like him I still think this is an OK version of the original

  68. 7.... ....

    Motörhead did a cover of enter sandman but they did not write it.

  69. p.... ....

    1:48 am I the only one who can hear it every time?

    p.... ....

    Hear what?

    p.... ....

    @louis Williams James playing verse, while Kirk doing the other part again and then switching tune imidiately, come on it's pretty hearable

    p.... ....

    @piotroftw i heard it lol

    p.... ....

    hear the voices to get out telling you to get the gun, get the gun, get the fucken gun!! lol

    p.... ....

    EVERY FUCKIN' TIME! But, it's more of a funny thing than annoying.

  70. r.... w....

    saint snuggles been smokin too much weed   Overkill came out BY MOTORHEAD in 1979 way before this came out...puff puff give

  71. B.... 6....

    Phil Taylor was on drums for the original, not Mik. 

    B.... 6....

    actualy exist new version recorded in 2007 with current drummer on, obviously

  72. S.... S....

    Motorhead wrote the song, they then sold it to Metallica, watch the Lemmy documentary and do your reasearch, they then covered it from Metallica.

  73. K.... J....

    dude Lars is one of favourite drummers (dont ask how or why), but i'd pick Mikkey over him any day of the week.

  74. A.... ....

    Lars over Mickey? Damn, where are you from...

  75. E.... J....

    I agree

  76. S.... S....

    Motorhead wrote Enter Sandman, if you didn't know

  77. m.... ....

    So all that drums and guitar and singing done in this video/song is fake ? lolz. You are a special kind of idiot!

  78. v.... ....

    Drum: Lars
    Guitar: Robert Trujillo
    Bass and Vocal: Lemmy Killmister

    nuff said

  79. v.... ....

    Motorhead's Overkill sounds better with Lemmy's voice.
    Metallica's Overkill cover sounds better with James' voice.
    Now Shut the f... up and enjoy the music! \m/

  80. D.... H....

    OrgasMic!

  81. s.... ....

    Lars couldn't bang a fucking door!
    James is so wrong vocally.
    Kirk, just fucking no! Ok, no!
    Bass player of the week:
    Well done, you got to the studio.

    s.... ....

    Lars is on Point, James vocal are bad, the last solo blows all away, the guitar is fucking great. so psst

  82. H.... W....

    As much as of a metallica fan as I am , nobody dose this as well as lemey and moterhead ....!

  83. A.... R....

    Lars? Fuck it.

  84. C.... D....

    Like a metronome - it's an audio track with just clicks, at the same speed as the song, to help people keep time...

  85. L.... U....

    Whats the click-track?

  86. S.... ....

    That wasn't a motorhead cover! It was zebrahead w/Lemmy on vocals.

  87. R.... O....

    Cacerollica

  88. b.... ....

    Although i agree with your name, your comment can suck my balls.

  89. C.... D....

    To my ears, the best drumming Lars ever did was on the ...And Justice For All album. He's competent, but to call him legendary is stretching it a bit. Don't get me wrong, he's way better than I'll ever be (especially since I'm a bassist), but in the videos of the Death Magnetic recording sessions, Rick Rubin gets Lars to play without a click-track and he can't keep time, complaining that he hasn't played without a click track since the '80s.

  90. M.... ....

    also there was a bootleg cd of lemmys birthday party and i heard it and the first song had very bad technical difficulties, keep in mind that was many many years ago, so that info may be wrong. FACT: this was released in CENSORED and UNCENSORED form

  91. C.... D....

    A little misleading to call it the studio version. The four Motorhead covers on Garage Inc are part of a six song live set that Metallica played for Lemmy's 50th birthday. That being said, it's a great version of an awesome song. The best part? Where James forgets the lines to the last verse and just mumbles along...

  92. M.... ....

    only way you can feel noise is when its good and loud!

  93. M.... ....

    where were 2 different versuions of this
    bleeped and unbleeped

  94. K.... K....

    lars was legendary at drums those years. i dont know what happened to him these years, frankly :D

  95. J.... ....

    James is to low.i cant hear him

  96. A.... h....

    I really im in love with metallica and motorhead but simply i dont like this version.

  97. v.... ....

    \m/(*_*)\m/

  98. b.... ....

    Overkill rules! (the band, obviously!)

  99. A.... O....

    Listen to Vital Remains or Origins and compare the drums, please.

  100. M.... D....

    Motorhead takes the cake for there songs Metallica covered. James' voice sounds weird here, like he's trying to hard to sing like Lemmy.
