Australian musician John Butler has responded to Metallica‘s surprise nod at their Perth concert by delivering a heartfelt, blues-infused take on the band’s iconic single “Enter Sandman.”

Butler shared the cover via Instagram while on tour in Europe and the U.K., captioning the post: “@metallica Enter Sandman, but make it John Butlery.”

Butler, who is currently touring across Europe and the U.K., shared his bluesy interpretation via Instagram, using a custom-made Indian slide guitar known as a Chaturangui. “@metallica ‘Enter Sandman,’ but make it John Butlery,” he captioned the clip. “It’s taken me a minute to pull my sh*t together after Metallica covered my song ‘Zebra’ last weekend in Perth/Boorloo… I thought I’d tackle one of their lesser-known tracks. I hope you like it.”
