Garage Inc. by Metallica
Garage Inc. is a cover/compilation album by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on November 24, 1998 through Elektra Records. Over 2.5 million copies have been sold in the US as certified by the RIAA. It includes cover songs, B-side covers, and the The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited, which had gone out of print since its original release in 1987. The title is a combination of Garage Days Re-Revisited and their song "Damage, Inc." The album features songs by artists that have influenced Metallica, including many bands from the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement.
Housing a ton of covers and B-sides, as well as their 1987 <i>The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited</i>, Metallica’s <i>Garage, Inc.</i> is quite literally a treasure trove of hard and deep cuts. Guitar-laden tracks like “Die, Die My Darling” (The Misfits) and “Sabbra Cadabra” (Black Sabbath) see Metallica paying homage to their roots while maintaining their own thrash-soaked sound born of wailing solos and threatening vocals. And “Whiskey in the Jar” is a jovial tribute to Thin Lizzy.
