Transforming Bob Seger's midtempo Turn the Page into a real rocker, and converting Nick Cave's Loverman into sheer brutality. Disc one is the new material, and Metallica place their undeniable stamp on each track. They combine to give fans a glimpse into the wide variety of influences that have shaped metal's mightiest band.
#GARAGE INC. METALLICA PLUS#
Every recorded cover tune from Metallica plus 11 newly recorded covers are included in this double-CD set. Although cover has a negative connotation, it is the playing of others' material that forges the identity and agenda of future superstars. Anybody who's anybody in rock has been in a cover band. Whiskey In The Jar won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance.

Staying true to the loose and fun vibe, the latter features guests Gary Rossington (Skynyrd), Jerry Cantrell and Sean Kinney (Alice In Chains), John Popper (Blues Traveler), Les Claypool (Primus), Jim Martin (ex-Faith No More) and Pepper Keenan (Down, Corrosion Of Conformity) sharing vocal duties.GARAGE INC. All, however, are delivered with a strong Metallica vibe and James Hetfield’s distinct snarl. The raucous “Free Speech For The Dumb” (by UK crust punks Discharge) sets the tone, followed by “It’s Electric” from NWOBHM legends Diamond Head, to whom Metallica quite possibly owe their career for inspiring them to get started in the first place.įollowing up with an homage to the godfathers of metal, Black Sabbath, “Sabbra Cadabra,” and with the bulk of Disc One’s material representing their more familiar influences – “Die, Die My Darling” (Misfits), the titular “Mercyful Fate,” “The More I See” (Discharge again) – it’s reassuringly apparent that the band Metallica had grown into wasn’t a million miles from the teenagers who first got together in 1981.īut it’s Bob Seger’s country-rock paean to touring life, “Turn The Page,” Nick Cave’s “Loverman,” Blue Öyster Cult’s “Astronomy,” Thin Lizzy’s “Whiskey In The Jar” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Tuesday’s Gone” that perhaps gives some perspective to the band’s frame of mind for Load and Reload. The result was a double-album of new covers, along with a clutch of hard-to-come-by B-sides and EP tracks, with Disc One representing the band Metallica had become, and Disc Two getting to the heart of the group. There was just a renewed interest in f_king with some other stuff.” Just shake that off a little bit and come back to something a little looser and a little kind of sillier. But we just did the two Load albums more or less back to back, so it just seemed like a good time to do some, from both a time point of view and a creative point of view. As Lars Ulrich explained to Metal Hammer, “We haven’t really f_ked with cover songs for a while. “There was an interest in f_king with some other stuff” The cover art even depicts the band members as mechanics – an everyman group, no different to anyone else. The album’s title itself is a nod to the Master Of Puppets track “Damage Inc,” while the concept harks back to The $5.98 EP: Garage Days Re-Revisited, a 1987 EP that had long been out of print.
But on Garage Inc, Metallica also pay homage to their own history.
