these covers are as stated in the booklet: 'Not very produced', 'Not produced' or Roughly produced'. The latter suggests already that this episode is all about covering Motörhead songs, the other episodes contain covers of Diamond Head, Queen and other bands. As mentioned above, good productions all in the sound you would expect from Metallica (especially when know and like Load and Reload), besides song number one, nothing to complain, but it's of course not the end of the road for Metallica or better say the beginning of the road, as Metallica have done many more covers in the past which will be found onĭisc 2: showing the history of covers done by Metallica in non-chronological order dating back to the year 1984 an episode calling the 'Garage Days Revisited' furthermore the 'Garage Days Re-Revisited '87', 'B-Sides & One Offs '88-'91' and Motorheadache '95. But other songs that are well done are: 'It's Electric', Sabbra Cadabbra', 'Die, Die My Darling' and the very dark 'Loverman' originally released by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The latter I think is the best version ever released of this song, really good. 'Turn The Page' and 'Whiskey In The Jar' were released as singles, The next 10 songs are all high quality covers from noted bands such as Black Sabbath, Danzig, Thin Lizzy, Lynrd Skynrd and more, not very garage, but that makes disc 1 much more smpathetic for me.

Metallica is known as the american legend of thrash metal, with sounds that came from the garage and made into onto the stage with 10.000's of fans watching, listening, screaming for more…ĭisc 1: 'The Metallicats covering all your favourites', starting off with 'Free Speech For The Dumb' a real garage sounding thrash metal song, with lyrics that will get on your nerves from second two on, you may think at this point it can only get better and you will be proven right.
