Metallica garage inc disc 26/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Track five is a Misfits covers and track seven is an 11-minute epic medley of Mercyful Fate songs. Track eight is a testament to the skill of Metallica: if they can play decently what it took BOC four guitarists to make, what does that have to say about the Cult? Track ten is tough for "die-hard" metal-fans who hate anything that isn't Master of Puppets, South of Heaven or Rust In Peace to like, but its still fun to listen to while on the road alOne (as are the other tracks). Track six crawls on for seven minutes of Lars tapping the cymbals, James singing the lyrics and Jason chanting "How much longer?" interspersed by heavy choruses. Personally, track four is a good track, despite James' limited vocal range compared to that of Bob Seger, and Kirk's slide is a decent replacement for the sax. Track four is a cover of Bob Seger's " Turn the Page", six of Nick Cave's "Loverman", eight of Blue Oyster Cult's "Astronomy" and ten is a semi- Live jam of Skynyrd's "Tuesday's GOne" featuring Pepper Keenan from Corrosion of Conformity, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, "Fatso" Jim Martin from Faith No More, Blues Traveler's John Popper, Les Claypool of Primus and Gary Rossington from Skynyrd itself. Oh yeah, I should mention that those of you who hate Metallica's softer material should skip tracks four, six, eight and ten. ![]() Obviously James is no Ozzy Osbourne and Kirk is no Tony Iommi, nor is Lars a Bill Ward, but they play through both songs rather well, even with the lack of a guitar solo. Track number three is a medley of two Black Sabbath songs, both of them from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Track two has a good feel to it, a nice beat and rhythm and good lyrics. Track One is pretty raw and in-your-face, and to some, James' shouted vocals are a shocking indicator of things to come ( St. Disc 1 features all new recordings, whereas Disc 2 features B-sides from as far back as the days of Cliff Burton to the release of the Load album. This is a compilation of all cover-songs dOne by Metallica. Not an official album, but definitely something to be looked at more than once.
