Metallica has been the subject of many different tributes, mashups and other covers, but this might be one of the few jazz reworkings of a Metallica song.

YouTuber Lucas Brar shared “Enter JAZZman,” a cover of Metallica’s classic tune “Enter Sandman” if it were a jazz song. Spoiler: It’s jaunty AF! Listen below and judge for yourself.

If you enjoyed Brar’s jazz stylings of “Enter Sandman,” his YouTube channel is chock full of other jazz takes on popular rock songs including Queen’s “We Are The Champions,” Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven.”
