Metallica - Stone Dead Forever Lyrics






Get on!

You think you see me
In the glass
You think you hear me
Better listen fast
I think I see you
Gone to seed
Think your reason
Is your guilt and greed

You're out there on your own
Your face turned to stone
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
All right

You're a financial wizard
Yeah a top tycoon
You're Sweet long lizard
With a silver spoon
You know you've never had it
Quite so good
And you didn't know
That you even could

Your time has come to own
Your touch turned to gold
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
All right

Financial wizard
A top tycoon
Sweet lounge lizard
With a silver spoon
You've never had it
Quite so good
And you didn't know
That you even could

But your time has turned to gold
Your touch is turned to gold
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever

It's been a long time
It's been a long long wait
And you caught your fingers
In the pearly gates
You better leave your number
And we'll call you
You know your problem
Ain't exactly new

Your time has come today
Your face has turned to hey
What ever happened to your life?
Stone dead forever
That's right

Yo

Ah

Metallica Stone Dead Forever Comments
  1. C.... g....

    Jason looks like early 2000's Undertaker in the photo.

  2. A.... M....

    the only time where jason's bass was audible.

  3. s.... b....

    IM SORRREY EX. COVER...I LIKE NOT 1 OVER THE OTHER.

  4. H.... C....

    James' voice isn't very good in this. I can tell he put on a deeper voice on purpose but I honestly think Jason should've just done all the vocals for this as Jason naturally has a deep voice

  5. S.... ....

    Those of you bitching about the speed, set at 1.25x

  6. A.... k....

    MAKE THE SPEED 1.25 AWESOMEEEEE

    A.... k....

    Alperen keleş make the speed 1.5

  7. S.... D....

    Metallica and Motorhead.....It is just over the top

  8. 0.... a....

    gööd cöver

  9. y.... z....

    metallica can play everething..better than the original version....because they are metallica

    y.... z....

    ...............................................just no........

    y.... z....

    Yeah, I'm gonna call bullshit on that one... the original is fucking outrageous, and this cover is tame in comparison, and this is coming from a metallica fan

    y.... z....

    Leave the bottle m8

    y.... z....

    yandex zyandex get fucked!

    y.... z....

    hell no

  10. S.... A....

    Stop hating so much on this version
    Yes it can be faster
    And there's Lars
    But the production is really good and Jason and Kirk really nail it
    That bass tone, heaviness kills it

  11. V.... V....

    After listening to Motorhead version this seems useless.

    V.... V....

    Verde Voda metallica ruin covers

    V.... V....

    PrismEdits Metallica ruins songs lol

    V.... V....

    "Oh guys, let's go youtube to say Metallica (the biggest band from the entire world) covers sucks, that is going to makes us look cool" Steve, Brian & Peter, 3 losers that never achieved anything important on their lives :-)

  12. H.... H....

    SHIT cover boys . Motorhead makes your spine tingle with there version.

  13. T.... B....

    Definately stone dead mate, from the Bomber album.
    Deaf forever,a different song from Orgasmatron.

  14. A.... C....

    Did Metallica really release it as Stone DeaD Forever ? It supposed to be Deaf.Or is it just someones miss during upload ?

  15. Z.... ....

    motorhead is life !

  16. N.... N....

    great upload. thank you.. not trying to be a dick but as far as i know these Motorhead covers aren't 'studio'. This is the band piss drunk playing Lemmys birthday party.

  17. g.... ....

    1.25 thank me later

  18. A.... W....

    love this fucking song

  19. U.... T....

    Jason's a beast on backing vocals!

    U.... T....

    also on the bass

  20. J.... P....

    who became negative ????

    J.... P....

    Rap guys? homosexuals? who knows

  21. �.... �....

    rip Lemmy

  22. T.... B....

    This is an outrage to Motörhead

  23. R.... ....

    This gets better every time I listen to it, and I'm pretty much in love with this song now.

  24. m.... ....

    It could be a bit faster.

    m.... ....

    I though that too

  25. A.... ....

    RIP Motörhead D:

  26. P.... R....

    rip lemmy

  27. J.... L....

    Motorhead lml

  28. T.... J....

    uh... Metallica covered these in a live performance for Lemmy's Birthday several years back...  It's a live performance (not studio) with Lemmy there in the audience... that's why they covered them...  It's a tribute... check the liner notes for the actual purchased music...  Relax guys...  :)

    T.... J....

    Wrong. These were recorded in Jason's basement.

  29. n.... ....

    Lars doing his usual of making us wonder why he plays drums. 

  30. b.... ....

    needs more punk speed

    b.... ....

    we honestly doens't care you lil' wayne colored eggplant

    b.... ....

    you don't belong to anything to say "we" and also.... try one time to face people face to face one day "man"

    b.... ....

    @Sebastian Taborda This "man" will not travel to third world countries.
    It is clear you can not take critizism. You should leave this conversation.
    you can't win it.

    b.... ....

    baas Needs more Lemmy punch!!!!

  31. B.... 6....

    Decent version but as always the original is king

  32. J.... ....

    that out solo is so friking amazing. It s a James Hetfield solo to...witch makes it more special. 

  33. N.... B....

    Metallica shouldn't cover songs they can't even play. 

    It's like 30 BPM slower than the original.

    N.... B....

    just stop bitchin' and stfu

    N.... B....

    Boo fucking hoo, it's slower.

    It doesn't make it bad.

    They are perfectly capable of playing it and they demonstrate it right here. If you don't fucking understand why it is so, please, educate yourself.

    N.... B....

    +Nigwardo Bro It's a cover for a reason its not meant to sound exactly like the original they play they way they want to which is the whole point of a cover

    N.... B....

    Covers aren't meant to sound like the original.

    N.... B....

    s33zer Bitching gets stuff done! We don't like it, so we make it the way we do! Even if we have got fuckin bad teeth!

  34. P.... C....

    James rocks...

  35. s.... ....

    Painful? Problem? Fuck man, turn down your volume, no wait, close youtube, cancel your internet connection, sell your computer and finally, feel free to go fuck yourself with this: (_)_)====D

  36. U.... ....

    still sucks

  37. D.... T....

    there were only 4 motorhead covers done by metallica that garage days revisited made bigger and better - stone dead, damage case, ace of spades and overkill that smash the way this metal sounded before. they made a good thing so much better

  38. T.... S....

    lol nuff said

  39. 3.... ....

    2:45 that drums are cool and strange in same time
    fukin love this cover

  40. 3.... ....

    1:39 that chord they composed there, not in original , nice

  41. 3.... ....

    haha . . .

  42. A.... L....

    That's not james's Voice Wtf ?!

  43. b.... ....

    itwas the same 20 years ago too

  44. D.... ....

    I had this discussion (metallica vs motorhead) like 10 years ago... and I grew up... do the same!!

  45. r.... ....

    I like the original and cover of this song, but I personally prefer this cover cos the backing vocals and warmer bass

  46. K.... S....

    Yeah, you got points for that.

  47. C.... J....

    At least I was trying to be original instead of saying "Her her, like dis if you like Metallica ,derp her." You must be getting tired of that bullshit?

  48. K.... S....

    Your comment tried really hard to be funny, but failed at it so miserably, that it actually made me aggressive for a brief moment... sorry.

  49. C.... J....

    You would like that wouldn't you. But it's Too late too late and that day will never come. Why don't you stop riding the Hate train? Telling me to leave is just Overkill. Just because I like to throw a little humor here and there makes me bad? So what? Am I Evil for doing that? If you didn't like my comment then don't reply. Now how about you "Gtfo" and Don't tread on me before you're Unforgiven II; My friend of misery?

  50. K.... S....

    Gtfo ->

  51. C.... J....

    Slenderman: Can you see me, in the grass? Can you hear me, better start running fast!

  52. C.... O....

    are you new here. this is the internet and all unimportant assholes come here to act like douche nozzles.

  53. M.... H....

    What if Jason was singing?! That would be golden epic!!

  54. �.... P....

    No one can play rock`n`roll as Motorhead! No one can make realy good cover to Lemmy`s song!
    Sorry! James should know that before to made him self look like girl in mummy`s boots...

    �.... P....

    True..!!
    R I P Lenmy

  55. T.... G....

    9 people were stoned dead forever!

  56. T.... A....

    STONE DEAD BURRITO!!

  57. V.... ....

    The only bad thing about this as a cover is that it came after James starting actually singing. If he was still using his barking voice from the early days, it might be even better. Still pretty good.

  58. D.... ....

    STONE DEAD FOREVER!

  59. r.... ....

    as much as i like motorhead i'd have to say this one is million times better

  60. j.... ....

    most if not all the original songs are awesome, and all Metallica did was make them better! GO METALLICA!!!!

  61. i.... ....

    it doesnt get better much than this, legends covering legends' song

  62. a.... ....

    @GuitarRocker446 oh wow i just realized i responded to a comment 2 years old :D

  63. a.... ....

    @GuitarRocker446 use audacity, its free

  64. J.... C....

    For my that cover is good... but I agree with all of you that think the original song is better... is cooler, is stronger... is heavier... is good

  65. L.... M....

    @That70sShowRocker73 you are soooo good, no one ever can beat lemmy and the rest of motorhead. pure rock rules. stone dead forever!!!!!!

  66. Z.... U....

    fcuk Jason voice is awesome

  67. 5.... ....

    @Metallicafreak93

    ya you want something that, can slow it down with out messing the pitch tho.

  68. 1.... ....

    metallica is showing their respect singing this song to motorhead
    chill out .
    is a good cover .

  69. i.... ....

    HELLL YEAHHHHHH!

  70. g.... ....

    lemmy is god

  71. T.... ....

    it's good but not close to Motörhead's PERFECT ROCK 'N' ROLL SOUND! \\nn//

  72. e.... E....

    @Kapitank your fuckin ears should be destroyed... every band do it on their own style.

  73. R.... M....

    Good version but......far from the DIRTY&RAW Motorhead sound. MOTORHEAD is MOTORHEAD!

  74. T.... 8....

    @clnt874 its metallica dude not motorhead,its their version of this song

  75. G.... ....

    James sings like a exausted bitch GO SPAIN!!

  76. G.... ....

    @kkinkead your mother is gay

  77. C.... ....

    phil taylors drumming on the motorhead he is playing the high hats twice as fast as lars/this drumming is lame

  78. C.... ....

    @1011944 you are retarded

  79. 2.... ....

    The first 16 seconds sounded quite fine but...the rest is a horse fart like every cover CommerciallicA has done. Its just too slow, vocals are horrible and it just doesnt have that energy.
    But thats my personal oppinion...

  80. R.... ....

    Sorry Metallica. Leave this one be. Hetfield's voice is great though.

  81. c.... ....

    I hate Metallica with a firey burning hot passion, but I think this is a WILD Motorhead cover. Kirk Hammet really sounds like Eddie Clarke, a slower version of, but still real good. God damn, Never heard this till today but I'm impressed.

  82. M.... G....

    what about judas priest saxon, motorhead, mercyful fate, tank,venom... THAT IS THE BEST HEAVY METAL...iron maiden arent the only band of heavy metal

  83. p.... ....

    dave mustaine helped start metallica though, and judas priest helped start metal, metallica is my favorite band and in my opinion the best band of all time. You dont lik any songs by megadeth or judas priest?

  84. p.... ....

    wat about judas priest and megadeth?

  85. s.... ....

    What song was that then son? Got everything from On Parole to Motorizer and never come across that..........enlighten me please.

  86. I.... A....

    what are you talking about? motorhead likes metallica, search "Enter Sandman - Motorhead" in youtube.

  87. M.... ....

    Maybe metallica has become comercial, maybe I like the old songs more than new songs.
    But...I think that all words are nothing against the great songs that they made,make and the next that we're going to lisen. Metallica WAS perfect now, still being perfect "maybe less...but still! XD!!!

  88. k.... ....

    As a fan of Motorhead since 1983 (I missed Bomber's debut, but named my Staffordshire Bull Terrier after the song- he subsquently ripped the throats out of all and sundry doggie competitors on various waste grounds of South London until we had him put down in 88) and a recent convert to Metallica, I think this version has has a lot of decent dogs bollocks. I say, well done Metallica! Good job.

  89. E.... T....

    i dont like the bass tone, and james is a good vocalist but his voice just doesnt fit this song, motorhead is just one of those bands that if you cover their songs it just doesnt sound right, lemmy fucking rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  90. f.... ....

    NEEDZ MOAR SPEED METALLICA! Still one of my all time fave Motorhead songs coupled with one of my all time fave bands? AWESOME

  91. N.... ....

    "motor head sucks" :D first, its motörhead. and you should show some respect for motörhead, without it there wouldn't be metallica as we know. i don't like the bass in this song (its not like lemmys dirty sound), but its pretty good though.

  92. A.... ....

    ew the bass sounds horrible...sry but lemmy does it better

  93. A.... A....

    Well said.

  94. b.... ....

    Kick ass cover, Tallica rulessssssssssssssss
    hell yeah !

  95. C.... S....

    They've always sucked. WAY too light. Slayer's always had them beat and always will.

  96. m.... ....

    Cool, Fast Eddie and Philthy get more money.

  97. w.... ....

    Good cover, but they can't beat Motörhead's version :)

  98. W.... N....

    One of my favorite covers of all time. I think both versions r awesome, but I always catch myself jamming to the Metallica version. ???? I love Motorhead to death, but Metallica did a good job in my opinion. No matter what, Stone Dead Forever is a Motorhead Masterpiece.

  99. I.... ....

    Jason shoulda done lead vocals. He sounds just like Lemmy lol
