Crude, rude , heavy guitars , awesome bass and great drumms . The way Lars played when he was younger was spectacular !! I love Metallica old school !!!!!!
I was 17 in 87’ 11th grade and bought the lp…got this creeping death Ep and first four records on LP…this band was the bomb back in the day got into them in 84’ with ride..went back to first record, then forward in 86’ to master… then 88’s justice ..then was outta school …grunge hit in 91’ and so did the black album… then I was done , black was too polished -though good.. 96’ on lost interest when load dropped.
+Captain Ron I think he gets that dumbass. Cliff would have made all these songs sound so different. Even worse maybe. The guitar tone and James' vocals are what makes this album for most of us. I think Jason's percussive bass picking suited James guitar playing more than Cliff did in all honesty due to cliff being more fluid. James virtually played drums on guitar. Fucking the best shit ever.
With no internet and radio stations refusing to play Metallica, the only way to discover them was to have a metal head friend who'd already bought an album. Luckily, I had several. Blew my mind at 17.
These guys were at there peak musically ,James voice developed they hadn't met Bob Rock yet, they were still a yound hungry band and had all of there hair.
A good buddy of mine who passed away lent me this record and Reign In Blood for the weekend around 1990 and I've been a thrash metal fan ever since, rest easy my brother
When people ask what is your favorite Metallica Justice, lighting, Puppets ,kill them all, and you say 5.98 ep and they stare at you with blank stares with no clue.
I remember riding the back roads of Louisiana with a friend who had an amazing sounding sound system in a truck Smoking weed (Mexican sativa)and beers 🍺 This sound is the best Metallica Raw in your face Master of puppets is a masterpiece 🎉
When this album came out I was about 16 years old. After listening to it for about 5 minutes, I was 16 years old again. I might cue it up one more time before I go back to being 50
Remember being 16 yr old and having heard only their first three records. No YT back then. Then a friend of mine came over and blasted this EP from the stereo. We freaked out around the room laughing hysterically. We had a band and we bled on our instruments even more than usual that day.
Felt like the coolest kid in our group getting this tape right before Justice came out. After Justice came out, I remember asking my 4th or 5th grade teacher (whatever it was, too long ago) what a megalomaniac was. lol.
🤘In 1987, I was 17 years old, living in Philadelphia, jamming out to this record with my friends up the park. Good times and RIP Ruthie, Bobby, Kevin, Lubby and Cliff 🤘
Most certainly. The first time I saw them was on the "Ultimate Sin" tour with Ozzy. I stopped going to see them after the touring they did for"Load". This is definitely the Metallica I like. They were drunker and sloppier on stage, I will give them the fact that they are much tighter live now than they used to be? But they don't have that fire lit under their ass anymore. I think they made a wrong turn with the "Black" album (which I would give three out of five stars IMO). After "....And justice for all" they started to lose the aggressive rebellious thing that drew all of us to them in the first place in the early and mid-80s.
...Talked my grandmother into buying me this cassette for a xmas gift christmas of '87.. (R.I.P august 1997)... 🤘she didn't know the beast she was feeding... 🤘after repeated sessions of falling asleep to ...and justice for all, blaring out of a boom box ... (and having one copy of each, kill'em all and puppets wore out and eaten by multiple, sorry ass walkmans,(yea....80's)...i've never stopped loving the early days of metallica.
Sixth grade would have never been passed without this being played in one ear putting in work in the back of the class. A long long time ago in another reality than this one we find ourselves in now !
Metallica...BEST band of a generation! James Hetfield...BEST frontman of ALL time! Change my mind... My son was 2 years old in 1993, could name each band member, their name, and their instrument. He also knew ALL of their songs. Gotta raise these kids right after all. 😜 We are both still incredibly huge forever fans. Love you guys SO VERY MUCH... 💋🖤🤘🖤
Great memories. This album in cassette and my Sony Walkman. Destroying my ears and loving it during High School years 87 - 91 Had the privilege to see them the 1st time in Yankees Stadium for the Big 4 tour. Over 30 years and still rock.
Matalica was my favorite metal band.untill Megadeth came.out. Then SLAYER I HEARD AT A FRIENDS HOUSE. NOTHING BETTER THAN SPEED METAL. AND THEY CALL THEM HAIR BANDS METAL. NO IT'S NOT TO ME THAT'S JUST AS BAD AS ALL THAT RAP.SH**T . I LOVE HARD CORE METAL MATALICA WAS GOOD UNTIL AFTER JUSTICE LP THEN THEY WENT DOWN HILL BUT SLAYER AND MEGADETH KEPT ROCKN OUT. THANKS BROTHER KEEP ROCKIIN OUT.
TheShagdog1313 No shit - 16yrs old got picked up every day by my bro with his chevette -only tunes were from a crappy boom box in the back - Garage days every AM - Damn - Good memories
Listening to this gives me goosebumps. 14 year old me only knew Metallica and had zero idea of who Killing Joke, Budgie, Diamond Head or Holocaust were. I heard of the Misfits but hadn't yet heard any of their albums as none of these artists music was available at the record shop in the mall in central PA back then. It took me MANY years until I was able to finally listen to the original songs. A great album to get introduced to the new wave of british heavy metal.
This reminds me of high school! At night I had my cassette tape in and my headphones on, playing air drums listening to the small hours over and over again!
No, it most certainly isn't. It's in my top 5... shit, top 3! Haha, maybe it is, but we fuckin' know it (me by heart, lyrics, guitars and air drums haaah
I trashed so many house parties sneaking this cassette to the stereo when everyone was sauced. Damn I miss the 80's we tore that sh#@ up!!! Back when you could really party!
It's amazing they became so successful with no radio play or media support. They just work their asses off and became bigger then Beatles a house hold name every one knows. And I was one their original fans what a ride.I'm pretty damn good guitarist cause of these guys.I play anything from classical finger picking to country finger picking to peer shred. These guys were my favorite when I was kid.The first metal songs I learned were Seek&Destroy and for Whom the Bell tolls. Used run around in my S10 with a tape in deck I had ever tape more then once because they were either wore out or were stolen.
Metallibashers live forever!! 🤘🤘🎸😎☠☠. Do you think Het,Lars and co remember that term for us early 80s fans? I like to think so... best wishes to you and yours mate Davy and family ♥️☠☠🤘😎
I was 14 when this album came out. Metallica was one of the few good things about our childhood. They literally made the world a better place for us kids.
Played this in my Walkman while mowing lawns. When the tape finally gave it up. I walked to the record store and dropped my $5.98+.36 tax, walked back and resumed mowing.
Me and my Cousin spent a lot of time driving our hotrods all over Germantown, and Carlisle Ohio, raising hell listening to every Metallica album up to, and justice for all!!! This album is a badass album for being covers they used to test Jason Newsteads sound!!! Metallathraxdethslayer Machine fueled our driving aggression and high octane and horse power fueled our cars!!! Best era in metal to date!!!
Back in '87, I was 15, "I'm The Man' moved me from rap to metal. After I thought the Anthrax metal was cool, my friend said listen to so far so good, and this metallica ep. "helpless" introduced me to Metallica, this EP introduced me to Metallica, all covers, and Helpless and Small Hours were coolest songs I ever heard until I heard For Whom The Bell Tolls and Call of Ktulu, The Thing..., No Remorse. But when Justice came out, I couldn't tell you how many tapes I stretched! Couldn't afford cd's haha... Fuckin "HELPLESS". Changed my life!
This tape was the pinnacle of metal and punk being cool with each other. I remember walking out of a 7-Eleven around the time it came out singing helpless aloud and some rocker who was on his way in sang along with me "I can see the sky but I can see what's going on" It was a seminal happy punk rocker moment.
Rich V Nice man. I've been a Metallica fan since they started. My brother turned me on to them. My allowance was always spent at the record store for some metal cassette. Testament, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, etc.
When this came out I was 23 and working a shit job, picking and packing orders for a small marine supply company making $6 an hour. This was the soundtrack for the entire summer, literally DESTROYED this tape...it was played CONSTANTLY over and over again in my walkman at full volume until it finally stretched all to hell and was totally unplayable, and I STILL played it more, until it finally broke! Best hour's worth of cash I ever spent lol!
Thomas Ferebee Yeah it wasn't bad...minimum wage at the time was $5.25/hr., they gave me $6 my hours fluctuated with the season, so I'd work 50 hour weeks in the spring and summer but only got 20 hours in fall and winter. So, I had plenty of beer money from April to September, but couldn't afford to put gas in my car AND eat for the rest of the year!
Thomas Ferebee 5.25 what I was making as a roll tender for a printing press company. 12 hour shifts....making ads for Thursday and Sunday papers.....god I hated that fuckin job....all the printers were old burnouts who would fire up bowls all day and watch the ads go round and round while I ran around that machine filling ink...paper....cleaning....but I had this and slayer blasting....
It's strange man...same. 44 and discovered METALLICA at 11 from my older cousin who was into all the killer metal of the time--no glam-- it was thrash speed and power metal and I thank him for it...it lead me to start my own metal band because I wanted to be Lars...music is everything to me and it's cool to know I wasn't the only one. ROCK ON BROTHER.
This may not be a producer's idea of production, or a sound engineer's either, but I love the tightness, compression and the isolated vocals of James on this EP; tighter than a frog's ass over a barrel! And Jason NewKid sure owned his keep on this recording, but hey, after downing 2 Jolt colas in a row before playing, there wasn't anyone else that could keep up to them like he did! 👊😎
Takes me back to my high school years where I hated almost everything & everyone. Liked horror movies, Nintendo, & heavy music. Those 3 years were a struggle but somehow got thru them. Words I'll never say " wish I was back in high school".
fuck high school DARE TO BE DIFFERENT the sheep dont understand why you listen to what you listen to and why you do what you do , walk your own path on your own THE WORLD HAS BECOME LIKE SCHOOL KIDS scared to be YOUR SELF and say what you think and not worry what others might think. FUCK THOSE FOLLOWERS
It was the first recording/release with him on bass. All the equiptment was still on settings for Cliff, as they overlooked making any adjustments. Lars made sure that wasn't missed on the next recording/release for "...Justice.......".
I was maybe 14 but dirt biked with guys likely your age and hung out for a bit at there place after biking so would listen Metallica they all the record but I had a walkman and old man had top shelf stereo from radio shack ( low fi but still better than a lot a setups . And then we sparked up weed lol. Lotta Sabbath, old ac/DC..... The 80's were the best or are in my memories. Look up top 100 hits of 86 or 87 or 1988.... Something in the water ...... Then came , nooooo , grunge😢
Good god, you kids are so spoiled with this easy net access. Diamondhead was a great English metal band, like Iron Maiden and others, and this was a tribute. We used to only be able to hear a song if someone owned it, Garage Days introduced me to 3 bands I never would have heard of otherwise. Now I get to Google it or look on RUclips, but I own two Diamondhead albums on vinyl, discovered The Misfits... This was a brilliant idea at the time. Just learn from it and don't troll or give people crap for their tastes. Listen more and type less. I'm Creeping Death.
I bought this when it was released! And yes, it had the "$5.98 Do Not Pay More" sticker on it and the bastard at Sam Goody (yes, I'm old) priced it $6.98. I told him to fuck off and got it at a different record store. I STILL have this album, on VINYL!
I got it here for free, but hey that vinyl is the shit - this my favorite album by these guys.I am 46 - this album came out when I was living near San Francisco. It was getting late and the sun was going down, and dude I was riding with said" you're gonna love this" - let me tell you - hearing this for the first time and riding in to San Fran - it was like a fucking dream - a good one. I will never forget that shit, it was bad ass.
The bible belt didn't embrace thrash metal at all. They thought it was evil and satanic, just look at the west Memphis 3, literally sentenced to life imprisonment for listening to Metallica/Slayer/Megadeth and reading Stephen king books. Thank God they are out now.
Quite possibly my favourite Metallica album... Yes, it's covers, and Metallica write amazing tunes of their own, but this album is almost like they asked Jason to Join in...
These Metallica covers blew me away, Loved how they made The Misfits sound even more awesome then ever. Loved all 5 of these songs and I was glad they were also available on Garage Inc as well. A fresh sound even for 1987. Also Lars, Kirk and James look so happy. Though Jason looks so shocked to be with Metallica
funkster007 Dude I fully agree. AJFA had such shit production despite it being such an awesome album from Metallica. Coming from an EP Garage Days sounded so awesome and they should have stuck to what they done with Master of Puppets production wise.
***** Yes they did my dude, So much win with this EP! I still want them to play in Smaller Venues when they perform live. The big venues are too expensive for my tastes. Plus the moshes and aggression is way better. I always blast the first four albums and this EP when I need my rush. But this and Master have the best production quality.
Takes me back to being 13, denim jacket covered in patches and patchouli oil, tight jeans and sneakers, jump in the fire tshirt, bad hair, walkman, skateboard etc good times.
You missed out the obligatory scrap with the "Trendies"(they always started it) otherwise, my life was identical (except I fucking hate patchouli oil and my hair was alway fantas.... Shit...)
I bought this EP back in the day. Y'all remember boys n girls the $5.98 ep you do not pay more. Still have it in the plastic. Sound Warehouse San Antonio Tx. Back when kids would freak out on album covers. Damn I miss those days. Keep on Rockn bothers n sisters. Peace.
Dood, when it came out... whew! But you know it's legendary when people of all age groups hear this for the first time, it's the same hell yeah, regardless!
Tammy Devine AMEN I’m 47 and could not agree more. When I first heard Whiplash it blew my Fucking mind! It was not like anything I ever heard before, to bad everything after Justice sucks.
I am 56 and I will never forget I had a tape player listening in park afterburner this cassette .but you're right about those clueless blank stares I get.
Right before recording AJFA. Brutal !!! Jason Newsted stated in an interview that their peak was 1991. I’d Break it down this way. 1982 was raw and unpolished. 1985 was their hardest sound, 1987 showing off their chops, 1991 was their tightest. And they continued with that vibe to this day.

Long. Live heavy metal.

I wish ...and Justice for All sounded like this. The production is so raw, heavy and you can not only hear the bass, you can feel it.
"you can not only hear the Bass, you can feel it!" Should be a tag line to promote this EP lol
Crude, rude , heavy guitars , awesome bass and great drumms . The way Lars played when he was younger was spectacular !! I love Metallica old school !!!!!!
Got this album when it came out in 87. I was 21 years old. It still kicks ass at 57.
Me to. First audition Metallica without Burton.
I agree with you,long life for enjoy the good music like this ,rockers
Me too brother. Class of 87
I was 17 in 87’ 11th grade and bought the lp…got this creeping death Ep and first four records on LP…this band was the bomb back in the day got into them in 84’ with ride..went back to first record, then forward in 86’ to master… then 88’s justice ..then was outta school …grunge hit in 91’ and so did the black album… then I was done , black was too polished -though good.. 96’ on lost interest when load dropped.
This is the best of Metallica.. a lot younger people don't even know about this..
In my opinion, this was Metallica's best sound.
+Albee213 THE SMALL HOURS !!! THE WAIT!!! like i said...a master piece
***** man Cliff with this raw production would blow the roof off!!
+Captain Ron I think he gets that dumbass. Cliff would have made all these songs sound so different. Even worse maybe. The guitar tone and James' vocals are what makes this album for most of us. I think Jason's percussive bass picking suited James guitar playing more than Cliff did in all honesty due to cliff being more fluid. James virtually played drums on guitar. Fucking the best shit ever.
totally agree 👍
it was certainly one of their best sounding albums, it was relaxed and not over produced.
With no internet and radio stations refusing to play Metallica, the only way to discover them was to have a metal head friend who'd already bought an album. Luckily, I had several. Blew my mind at 17.
- Helpless (0:00 - 6:41)

When people ask what is your favorite Metallica Justice, lighting, Puppets ,kill them all, and you say 5.98 ep and they stare at you with blank stares with no clue.
I felt back then I was the only one who had that tape and even big fans of them didn't even know
I have the vinyl and people that are fans have never seen it hahaha
❤ I had the vinyl😮
😂🤘
I remember riding the back roads of Louisiana with a friend who had an amazing sounding sound system in a truck
Smoking weed (Mexican sativa)and beers 🍺
This sound is the best Metallica
Raw in your face
Master of puppets is a masterpiece 🎉
When this album came out I was about 16 years old. After listening to it for about 5 minutes, I was 16 years old again. I might cue it up one more time before I go back to being 50
Right there with you brother! I visit this on the regular, even though I still have the vinyl copy I bought on 22 Aug 87.
Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!!!!!!!!
That's how much I love(d)-especially back then!) this fucking album!
This is one of the best comments I have heard off. 🤣🤣🤟👍👍🤟🤟
Im doing what you said right now
woah how time flies, im currently 16 and will probably keep listening till the end of my time.
Remember being 16 yr old and having heard only their first three records.
No YT back then.
Then a friend of mine came over and blasted this EP from the stereo.
We freaked out around the room laughing hysterically.
We had a band and we bled on our instruments even more than usual that day.
Is it just me or is this the best thing Metallica has ever released? As an eighties kid kid I like Metallica a lot but this recording takes the cake.
Felt like the coolest kid in our group getting this tape right before Justice came out. After Justice came out, I remember asking my 4th or 5th grade teacher (whatever it was, too long ago) what a megalomaniac was. lol.
🤘In 1987, I was 17 years old, living in Philadelphia, jamming out to this record with my friends up the park. Good times and RIP Ruthie, Bobby, Kevin, Lubby and Cliff 🤘
When you realize that the old days were better .... a million times much better!
....and they'll NEVER EVER be the same
Try explaining this to the stupid ass generation today.... Here's a bottle of whiskey
Not
The way I like to remember Metallica
Indeed
Right?!?!!
Most certainly. The first time I saw them was on the "Ultimate Sin" tour with Ozzy. I stopped going to see them after the touring they did for"Load". This is definitely the Metallica I like. They were drunker and sloppier on stage, I will give them the fact that they are much tighter live now than they used to be? But they don't have that fire lit under their ass anymore.

After "....And justice for all" they started to lose the aggressive rebellious thing that drew all of us to them in the first place in the early and mid-80s.
@@ziggylayneable exactly
Totally
This is the original Metallica, can't get enough.
This is music for metalheads, what they play now is commercial.
Damn shame!
This album is covers, wouldn't call it original Metallica. Original Metallica was metal up your ass, kill em all and ride the lightning imo.
Pretty far from original Metallica. No Cliff, no Mustaine
...Talked my grandmother into buying me this cassette for a xmas gift christmas of '87..
(R.I.P august 1997)... 🤘she didn't know the beast she was feeding... 🤘after repeated sessions of falling asleep to ...and justice for all, blaring out of a boom box ...

Hell yeah you had a cool grandmother
What was the change in sound on the black album like for you? And then to load/reload lol
Cassette? I have this on an album, didn't know they made cassette tape of this album
Sixth grade would have never been passed without this being played in one ear putting in work in the back of the class. A long long time ago in another reality than this one we find ourselves in now !

This album is so underrated.
No, it most certainly isn't. It's in my top 5... shit, top 3! Haha, maybe it is, but we fuckin' know it (me by heart, lyrics, guitars and air drums haaah
I trashed so many house parties sneaking this cassette to the stereo when everyone was sauced. Damn I miss the 80's we tore that sh#@ up!!! Back when you could really party!
80s partying smoshes any other decade of aggression less aggression
fucl yeah! !!tore up a lot of houses.back when everyone was throwing partys
Ima try this, when everyone is drunk as fuck, I'll just blast this album or kill'em all in the party, it'll be total chaos
I remember when this came out. It was literally $5.98. It was still under 10 bones. ❤ Great times.
The disk version said “ the 9.98 cd”
Never gets old guys,glad I went thru that era!!!...
It's amazing they became so successful with no radio play or media support. They just work their asses off and became bigger then Beatles a house hold name every one knows. And I was one their original fans what a ride.I'm pretty damn good guitarist cause of these guys.I play anything from classical finger picking to country finger picking to peer shred.

I was 14 when this album came out. Metallica was one of the few good things about our childhood. They literally made the world a better place for us kids.
So true brother
We were the true hearts
Yep. They really did.
Played this in my Walkman while mowing lawns. When the tape finally gave it up. I walked to the record store and dropped my $5.98+.36 tax, walked back and resumed mowing.
Godamn! My life was the same!
Mowing grass headphones !!!
Late 80s
Me and my Cousin spent a lot of time driving our hotrods all over Germantown, and Carlisle Ohio, raising hell listening to every Metallica album up to, and justice for all!!! This album is a badass album for being covers they used to test Jason Newsteads sound!!! Metallathraxdethslayer Machine fueled our driving aggression and high octane and horse power fueled our cars!!! Best era in metal to date!!!
by far
It's nice to have a recording of the old heavy Metallica with Jason killin' it.
Such a shame they didn't leave Jason's bass this audiable on Justice...
When I first heard … And Justice for Jason it was amazing how different it sounded.
we it was not so produced by metallica lol
The bass tone on this record is easily my favorite of all Metallica albums. I loved Justice, but remember being so bummed it didn’t sound like this.
Sick ass album!!I remember whn it 1st came out!!It was my favorite album..Hearing it makes me feel young again..😊
Back in '87, I was 15, "I'm The Man' moved me from rap to metal. After I thought the Anthrax metal was cool, my friend said listen to so far so good, and this metallica ep. "helpless" introduced me to Metallica, this EP introduced me to Metallica, all covers, and Helpless and Small Hours were coolest songs I ever heard until I heard For Whom The Bell Tolls and Call of Ktulu, The Thing..., No Remorse. But when Justice came out, I couldn't tell you how many tapes I stretched! Couldn't afford cd's haha... Fuckin "HELPLESS". Changed my life!
Visiting old memories and bumped into this jewel 😍😍😍
I called in sick the night before this album was released so I could be first in line to buy it. Still got it.
Who doesn't?
I've been a fan of the Lords of THRASH METAL ever since the GARAGE DAYS RE-REVISITED came out!!
Thrash-On to the fullest!!!!
That's awesome 🤘
Cool. Bought this on cassette the week it dropped. Still have it! 👍🤘
Takes me back in the day jamming with my friends.
Just turned 49yo last week and still think this album or ep is some of there hardest kick ass shit...
@Atropus Arbaalish ohhhh Napalm Death and Bolt Thrower. Bro what are you even talking about? Kick ass stuff is AC/DC , etc not really death metal.
This tape was the pinnacle of metal and punk being cool with each other. I remember walking out of a 7-Eleven around the time it came out singing helpless aloud and some rocker who was on his way in sang along with me
"I can see the sky but I can see what's going on"
It was a seminal happy punk rocker moment.
Love this EP, I was 15 when it was released, the anger/ aggression spoke to me. At the time I had no idea these were covers.
God, I haven't heard this in 30 years nearly. Really takes me back.
Crazy how this EP had better production than Justice. Love the sound on this one
Justice production is perfect, is masterpiece!
Listened to Metallica for years and only just now learned of the existence of this EP. Nice to hear some new old-school stuff 😀
Love this album since the day it came out in summer of 87.great times man.
Damn, i remember buying this cassette. 12 years old at the time. Why can't life have a rewind button!?!?!
Mike C I was 13
Rich V Nice man. I've been a Metallica fan since they started. My brother turned me on to them. My allowance was always spent at the record store for some metal cassette. Testament, King Diamond, Iron Maiden, etc.
Mike C Abigail, lol
Rich V haha, yea buddy. Abigail, Them, Fatal Portrait. Christ, I'm old, lol
Me too, between 9 and 13 somewhere, late 80's
Memorys,drugs,hard times,good times,metal.
RIP Cliff Burton...
Sadly missed and never forgotten.. 👍🇭🇲
When this came out I was 23 and working a shit job, picking and packing orders for a small marine supply company making $6 an hour. This was the soundtrack for the entire summer, literally DESTROYED this tape...it was played CONSTANTLY over and over again in my walkman at full volume until it finally stretched all to hell and was totally unplayable, and I STILL played it more, until it finally broke! Best hour's worth of cash I ever spent lol!
Wouldn't 6 dollars an hour be good for 87? I was making 6 an hour my first job in 2013
Thomas Ferebee Yeah it wasn't bad...minimum wage at the time was $5.25/hr., they gave me $6 my hours fluctuated with the season, so I'd work 50 hour weeks in the spring and summer but only got 20 hours in fall and winter. So, I had plenty of beer money from April to September, but couldn't afford to put gas in my car AND eat for the rest of the year!
Thomas Ferebee 5.25 what I was making as a roll tender for a printing press company. 12 hour shifts....making ads for Thursday and Sunday papers.....god I hated that fuckin job....all the printers were old burnouts who would fire up bowls all day and watch the ads go round and round while I ran around that machine filling ink...paper....cleaning....but I had this and slayer blasting....
I was 11 years old when I first heard Metallica ! Now I'm 44 and they still kick as!
It's strange man...same. 44 and discovered METALLICA at 11 from my older cousin who was into all the killer metal of the time--no glam-- it was thrash speed and power metal and I thank him for it...it lead me to start my own metal band because I wanted to be Lars...music is everything to me and it's cool to know I wasn't the only one. ROCK ON BROTHER.
I just turned 50 and listened to them since I was 16. Cant get enough.
Unknown Prospertor 55 and it only sounds better the older I get!! THE WAIT!!!
I'm just a few years older. What was the first album/tune you remember liking? For me it was Kill em All (Sean and Destroy)
No they don't anymore but i wish they did
This album is the best James ever sounded. It's like a cross between MOP/AJFA.
One of the most underrated albums of all time. Absolutely ripping!
a master piece! they should have recorded ..and justice with this sound ,,, fckin perfect!
Maybe best Metallica s best distorsion on guitars and best Hetfield s voice is here.
This may not be a producer's idea of production, or a sound engineer's either, but I love the tightness, compression and the isolated vocals of James on this EP; tighter than a frog's ass over a barrel! And Jason NewKid sure owned his keep on this recording, but hey, after downing 2 Jolt colas in a row before playing, there wasn't anyone else that could keep up to them like he did! 👊😎
My mother bought this for me. I never get tired of listening to this.
This is the Metallica I know
got this on vinyl.... actually, i have the first 4 or 5 on vinyl....
this is my favorite metallica record.
I'm still listening in 2024
Fork off and go listen to Bieber.. your comment is too lame young sprout 🌱 😂🖕🤭🤣 Enjoy ...
Mum let you out of the house?.. 😂
Same 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Takes me back to my high school years where I hated almost everything & everyone.
Liked horror movies, Nintendo, & heavy music.
Those 3 years were a struggle but somehow got thru them.
Words I'll never say " wish I was back in high school".
Amen to that!
Couldn't get laid huh 😞
fuck high school DARE TO BE DIFFERENT the sheep dont understand why you listen to what you listen to and why you do what you do , walk your own path on your own THE WORLD HAS BECOME LIKE SCHOOL KIDS scared to be YOUR SELF and say what you think and not worry what others might think. FUCK THOSE FOLLOWERS
The only album where we can hear Jason at his best.
Unfortunately I agree ..
It was the first recording/release with him on bass. All the equiptment was still on settings for Cliff, as they overlooked making any adjustments.
Lars made sure that wasn't missed on the next recording/release for "...Justice.......".
One of the best bands and COVER bands EVER, period end of fucking sentence.
Damn I am old. I I bought this on cassette in my senior year in high school 😂
There were there 3 garage days. If you ever get a copy of metal up your ass, on tape.
I will personally tell James.
I was maybe 14 but dirt biked with guys likely your age and hung out for a bit at there place after biking so would listen Metallica they all the record but I had a walkman and old man had top shelf stereo from radio shack ( low fi but still better than a lot a setups . And then we sparked up weed lol. Lotta Sabbath, old ac/DC..... The 80's were the best or are in my memories. Look up top 100 hits of 86 or 87 or 1988.... Something in the water ...... Then came , nooooo , grunge😢
Remember listening this EP back in 88.... change my life...
O yeah
Thanks for this! Brings back memories. Being 16, skateboarding and listening to this album . I miss the 80s.
Especialmente pra voce
Esses caras tocam demais até quem não gosta de rock ouvindo esse som vai gostar
HaHa, I bought this cassette back in 89. I wore the tape out.
Sounds very good! Awesome album! Crank it up! Metal Up Your Ass!
I feel like I’m in high school all over again. Epic.
I got this Germany when I was stationed there for 6months in 87 I paid only $3 for it it was $9.98 but somehow it came out to $3 for CD.
Good god, you kids are so spoiled with this easy net access. Diamondhead was a great English metal band, like Iron Maiden and others, and this was a tribute. We used to only be able to hear a song if someone owned it, Garage Days introduced me to 3 bands I never would have heard of otherwise. Now I get to Google it or look on RUclips, but I own two Diamondhead albums on vinyl, discovered The Misfits... This was a brilliant idea at the time. Just learn from it and don't troll or give people crap for their tastes. Listen more and type less. I'm Creeping Death.
damn you old people... talking bullshit
I feel ya!
So,
You discovered the Misfits by listening to Metallica? Yikes.
At least you found them.
Lol
This album meant so so so much to my childhood/tween years.
I bought this when it was released! And yes, it had the "$5.98 Do Not Pay More" sticker on it and the bastard at Sam Goody (yes, I'm old) priced it $6.98. I told him to fuck off and got it at a different record store. I STILL have this album, on VINYL!
bought it then too... 5.98 NO MOre
I got it here for free, but hey that vinyl is the shit - this my favorite album by these guys.I am 46 - this album came out when I was living near San Francisco. It was getting late and the sun was going down, and dude I was riding with said" you're gonna love this" - let me tell you - hearing this for the first time and riding in to San Fran - it was like a fucking dream - a good one. I will never forget that shit, it was bad ass.
Let's kill Sam Goody! Oh maybe he is already dead?:)
Takes me back to being 17 years old in Southern Alabama and everybody looking at me like I'm crazy head banging now they all lesson to Metallica 😂😂❤❤
The bible belt didn't embrace thrash metal at all. They thought it was evil and satanic, just look at the west Memphis 3, literally sentenced to life imprisonment for listening to Metallica/Slayer/Megadeth and reading Stephen king books. Thank God they are out now.
It's a great album for me.
I love it,and I love Metallica🇹🇭
80's Metal was toooooo damn epic!
Quite possibly my favourite Metallica album... Yes, it's covers, and Metallica write amazing tunes of their own, but this album is almost like they asked Jason to Join in...
Maybe their best production and they did it themselves
What a mix, great energy and execution!!
00:00 - Helpless
06:40 - The Small Hours
13:23 - The Wait
18:19 - Crash Course in Brain Surgery
21:30 - Last Caress/Green Hell
These Metallica covers blew me away, Loved how they made The Misfits sound even more awesome then ever. Loved all 5 of these songs and I was glad they were also available on Garage Inc as well. A fresh sound even for 1987. Also Lars, Kirk and James look so happy. Though Jason looks so shocked to be with Metallica
Been a long time since I heard this. Great production too. Wish they would have stuck with that sound. AJFA sounded like over compressed shit to me.
funkster007 Dude I fully agree. AJFA had such shit production despite it being such an awesome album from Metallica. Coming from an EP Garage Days sounded so awesome and they should have stuck to what they done with Master of Puppets production wise.
They know how to play
Daniel Costa 30 Years later they still got it, Though they've changed quite a bit I still love them.
***** Yes they did my dude, So much win with this EP! I still want them to play in Smaller Venues when they perform live. The big venues are too expensive for my tastes. Plus the moshes and aggression is way better. I always blast the first four albums and this EP when I need my rush. But this and Master have the best production quality.
Takes me back to being 13, denim jacket covered in patches and patchouli oil, tight jeans and sneakers, jump in the fire tshirt, bad hair, walkman, skateboard etc good times.
Keep on fling the flag bro.
Yeeeeeeeeeeiu..... !!!!!!!!!!
You missed out the obligatory scrap with the "Trendies"(they always started it) otherwise, my life was identical (except I fucking hate patchouli oil and my hair was alway fantas.... Shit...)
patchouli oil?, You must have been a poser!
we just didn't know about the wonders of hair gel yet. Makes long hair look much better.
I bought this EP back in the day. Y'all remember boys n girls the $5.98 ep you do not pay more. Still have it in the plastic. Sound Warehouse San Antonio Tx. Back when kids would freak out on album covers. Damn I miss those days. Keep on Rockn bothers n sisters. Peace.
Mines not in plastic but yeah,sound warehouse on harry st Wichita Kansas
This my wife’s account but I remember buying this and playing it all day everyday .it was the soundtrack to my teenage years ‘, and still love it
Damn nigga get ur own YT account....
Lol what happened did ur balls drop off????
This will always be the best sounding Metallica album.
Daniel Asher
Love this album. Love all their old shit!
This shit f..... kicks ass .
Dood, when it came out... whew!
But you know it's legendary when people of all age groups hear this for the first time, it's the same hell yeah, regardless!
IM 48 still a blister of an album, had the original cassette nobody undrstands these new Metallica fans have no clue
Tammy Devine AMEN I’m 47 and could not agree more. When I first heard Whiplash it blew my Fucking mind! It was not like anything I ever heard before, to bad everything after Justice sucks.
46 and still my favorite band since I was like 14. Time flies!
Me too!:) I'm 48.
I remember buying the cassette and running to my car to play it in my new stereo. Great memories. ❤️ from 🇨🇦
@@jamesturner7488 I absolutely agree.
I have the original 5:98 ep vinyl, bought it September 87 after seeing them at monster of Rock, Donnington that August,
I am 56 and I will never forget I had a tape player listening in park afterburner this cassette .but you're right about those clueless blank stares I get.
I had this LP when i was a child, now i am listening here in my 47 years old.
same
yes \m/ \m/
Same
45 here and still love listening to this, not sure my neighbors like it 😂
41
This was Metallica at the top of their game.
Right before recording AJFA. Brutal !!! Jason Newsted stated in an interview that their peak was 1991. I’d Break it down this way. 1982 was raw and unpolished. 1985 was their hardest sound, 1987 showing off their chops, 1991 was their tightest. And they continued with that vibe to this day.
My first favorite album of theirs. Second album is and justice for all. They both are awesome albums. 👍🤟🤟😜
