Metallica garage days inc plus#
The release consisted of eleven newly recorded cover songs, some previously-released B-side covers, plus 1987s The 5.98 E.P. at The Plant, Sausalito, California, September 14 through October 1, 1998. At one time, it might have seemed a little odd that Metallica would cover Budgie, Diamond Head, the Misfits, and Queen, but if Garage, Inc. Metallica recorded one of the two discs for Garage Inc. And if raw is what you want, the equally diverse disc two provides all the thrills you could hope for. Sure, it may not be nearly as raw as early Metallica, but it is a better listen than either of the Load records. The 5.98 E.P. Whether it's Bob Seger, Blue Öyster Cult, Thin Lizzy, Nick Cave, or the all-star jam on Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone," the band effortlessly makes the songs seem like their own, through a bizarre mix of respect and ballsy irreverence. It shouldn't come as a surprise that these covers recall the blooze 'n' boogie heavy rock of the Loads, but what is a surprise is that Metallica seems to have found their footing in this style through other people's songs. The second disc's rarities are balanced by the first disc's new covers, the bulk of which were recorded following the Reload tour. Savvy businessmen that they are, they also realized they needed to give hardcore fans who already owned all the covers a reason to purchase the new set - hence, the expansion of the Garage Days EP to the double-disc blowout Garage, Inc. Yes, the Garage Days Re-revisited EP is here, but that wasnt all that rare. By 1998, the band had understandably grown frustrated with this situation and decided to confront the problem head-on by reissuing all these rarities. Overall, its not bad, but it is definitely not as fan-oriented as they could claim. For many years, Metallica's 1987 EP Garage Days Re-Revisited was the most sought-after item in their catalog it was constantly bootlegged in the '90s, and often supplemented by a host of covers Metallica had released on singles and compilations throughout the years. Bass tablature, book is in very good condition for a 23 year old book, no tears or writing.
