Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Got the Time by Anthrax

Today's Metal Track is Got the Time by Anthrax. This cover song is off of their 1990 album Persistence of Time. It was originally recorded by Joe Jackson in 1979 on his debut album Sharp!

Jackson didn't really care for their version stating "I think it sounds kind of clumsy compared to the way we did it on the Live album. I mean, our version is really smoking. Theirs is actually slower than ours, and kind of lumpen. The way I feel about it is, Thanks for the royalties, guys."

That Bass line! 



Here is the original. I think both are great!
