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.
