The Misfits

I give Matt credit, he knows his stuff. On the original release of "Kill 'Em All (I believe), the song "Am I Evil" was included. The song was originally recorded by Diamond Head for the 1980 album "Lightning to the Nations".

On 1987's "Garage Days Re-Revisited", Metallica included a medley of two Misfits songs crammed into one, "Last Caress/Green Hell". Each of the songs are about a minute and a half long, and Metallica squeezed them into one song for the simple fact that they didn't feel like recording anything that short.

Then in 1998 on "Garage, Inc.", Metallica included another Misfits cover, "Die, Die My Darling".

Metallica got into the Misfits because the late Cliff Burton, their old bass player, was a huge Misfits fan and he played his Misfits tape constantly while they were on the road. At first the other guys hated it, but like anyone else, they realized that the Misfits songs are too catchy to be ignored, and fell in love with the band as Matthew and I have.
They're probably the catchiest band ever to write songs about death, murder, aliens and monsters that I, personally, have ever heard.
