Beatles, metal vs classic

Out of these two versions, I definitely prefer the classic. I love The Beatles and this is one of my favorite songs by them. When I hear any versions of a song that is so classic in my mind, I instantly think of them as cheap imitations of the real thing. Because of this, I will always prefer the original over any covers.
I also believe that the original version was more aesthetically pleasing than the metal version. The sad mood that this song is based on does not translate well in a heavy metal playing style. Also, the sounds made by the non distorted string instruments and the voices in The Beatles' version were smoother and easier on the ear.
P.S. Sorry that these posts are so late. I missed a couple days last week and have been backed up with homework since.
