John from Galway, IrelandAnother great song from another great Irish band. BTW, this is a great song, and Metallica's version isn't half bad either. Wayne from Crockett, TxNo matter where you go, you will always find someone dissing Metallica. It's like Lynott took all the sorrows of the Irish and plugged it into his guitar James from Gettysburg, PaThis version is so much sadder than other versions I have heard. Richie from Trim, IrelandIm a massive fan of both lizzy(got to see them in the olympia in Dublin last week with john sykes on lead vocals.ROCK!) and metallica and although im an irish man i have to say i prefer metallicas version. Scott from Ottawa - Living In Sa Tx, TxThe story sounds like an old Irish song my dad used to sing called the "Wild Colonial Boy". Jason from Denver, CoThe only thing better than whiskey in the jar is whiskey in my belly. Niles from Belpre, OhI don't know where this song originated. If it weren't for pirated underground tapes from back in the day metallica wouldn't be s-t!!!! Wurm from Hicktoria, TxI'm too late for the Metallica comments.lol! I love this song! This Lizzy and Metallica! Hey Metallica fans you know WHY the new stuff sounds so different? Because they ran out of stuff that was stolen from Dave Mustaine! lol! I respect making new sounding music.but the napster thing was just greedy. Ed from Canton, OhIs there any meaning behind the line "Whack for my daddy-o" or is it just a continuation of the preceding jibberish?. Paul from Dublin, Irelandground-breaking version of an old Irish ballad that made people sit up and listen to something different, and led the way for many other guitar bands to follow in later years, including the great Metallica. Adam from Clinton Township, MiThe lines musha-ring-dum-a-doo-dum-a-da are gibbberish, but it's Irish gibberish. Besides, for much of his career following, he made great music with Megadeth, but was a whiny, stoned, idiot for a long time. anyone who brings politics into heavy metal ain't much of a songwriter. Adam from Clinton Township, MiOH, btw Wurm. With "Whiskey in the Jar," "Boys are Back in Town" and "Jailbreak," the original Thin Lizzy band has stood the test of time. Drugs took their toll on this talented vocalist and bass guitarist, whose contributions to classic rock can't be overstated. Henry from New Smyrna Beach, FlPhil Lynott, (along with co-founder and drummer Brian Downey) was the heart and soul of Thin Lizzy and his tragic passing is a reminder of the pressures of keeping up with fame and producing hit records. Virginie from In My Room Thin Lizzy version is much better. but Thin Lizzy's version was so, so, hard to listen too, it was unadulterated swill :( Skinnypen from Skinnypen's HouseVirginie, your wrong. 
That's the beauty of a song that's hundreds of years old. BTW, there are tons of versions of the lyrics, and so many ways to spin them.
I LOVE the Pogues, but their version seems to lack the energy of these two. John from Los AngelesBoth the Metallica and Thin Lizzy versions are so strong, I think we can love them both.Thin Lizzy’s version will always be the best, Metallica is a close second, I love music of many genres, just enjoy it Paulette Woods from Austria I’m replying to skinnypen, “Thin Lizzy’s version was hard to listen to, unadulterated swill “ oh dear I’m still smiling as you obviously know your music ( yeah right ).Metallica's cover is what ii is, heavy metal. Deborah from Forest Town SaThinLizzy whiskey in the jar, so melodic thats why i love it.
