The main press CD
is a collection of
Dave Mustaine era
METALLICA
studio recordings
with the highest quality.
It is exactly the best
masterpiece in
heavy metal history.
the main press CD
that summarizes
“studio recording”
also comes with a bonus
for this work
that summarizes
“garage recording”.
You can collect the
initial demo at once.
In the first place,
the circumstances surrounding
the initial
METALLICA
demo boot
were extremely complicated,
and many people
probably have
no idea
how many takes
there are.
First,
organize
the demo information.
There are three
major demos
of early
METALLICA
as follows.
・A: Garage Demo
(This work)
・ B: Studio demo
“Main press CD”
・C: Live Demo
“LIVE METAL UP YOUR ASS”
“B: Studio Demo”
is the main press CD
“NO LIFE ‘TIL LEATHER: DEFINITIVE EDITION”,
and “C:
Live Demo”
is a gift title
“LIVE METAL UP YOUR ASS”.
OK. The concept of this work is a
general overview of the remaining
“A: Garage Demo”.
The initial demo of
METALLICA
has had countless titles
for a long time,
but the last
“McGOVNEY’S GARAGE 1982”
was the best master collection.
This work has increased
by more than 37 minutes
from the previous edition,
which was a single piece.
It is a two-disc set that
has evolved from 1982
to a suitable decision board
to commemorate the
40th Anniversary.
Its content is divided
into five main categories.
Let’s introduce them
individually :
[DISC 1:
Garage Demo +1
(about 63 minutes)]
● Audition tape for the first live
(2 songs)
The first to appear is the so-called
“WHISKEY AUDITION TAPE”.
Metallica,
who solidified the lineup with
James Hetfield,
Lars,
Mustaine,
and McGoverny,
started live activities in
March 1982.
The first live was the opening act of
SAXON held at the club
“Whiskey A Go Go”.
not only the fresh performance
but also the famous song
“Let It Loose”
which has not been officially
re-recorded is a
delicious tape
(prayer, re-recording!).
● Practice tapes
in the garage
(6 songs)
Around this time,
Metallica explored their individuality
while practicing in
McGoverny’s garage.
Next is a demo that captures
the rehearsal and practice scenery.
The DIAMOND HEAD cover
and the first original
“Hit The Lights”
and
“Jump In The Fire”
are also very fresh versions,
still before dawn.
James concentrates on vocals
and Mustaine plays
all the guitars.
You can fully enjoy
the growth process of
getting used to the
instrument itself.
●Legendary demo
“POWER METAL”
(4 songs)
So far, it was recorded in
March 1982,
but the following four songs
were recorded in April
and are demos commonly known as
“POWER METAL”.
There is still a feeling of fumbling
in the guitar solo,
but James has picked up
the guitar again and
has improved like a
different person in
just one month.
This super-fast growth
accelerated further
through live activities,
and three months later
in July 1982,
it came to fruition in
the historic
“NO LIFE ‘TIL LEATHER”.
-Bonus:
Soundboard Live
(1 song)
The bonus recording
at the end of DISC 1
is the live performance of
“No Remorse
recorded on
August 4, 1982
Whiskey A Go Go”.
Speaking of the
soundboard live of
the Mustaine era,
“October 18, 1982”,
which is also sold at
livemetallica.com,
is famous,
but this is the
only soundboard
other than that.
This work is basically
summarized as
“McGoverny’s garage recording”,
but this track is the
only exception.
Because there are many cases
where the version of this track
with the cheers cut
is distributed as a demo,
and it is introduced
as the above
“part of the garage practice tape”
[DISC 2:
Riff tape for composition
(about 50 minutes)]
DISC 2
is the key to increasing the volume
beyond such a bonus live.
A tape on which riffs and phrases
are recorded instead of
memos for composing.
The same kind of recording
was recorded for about
17 minutes
on the previous edition,
but after that,
a tape owned by
McGoverny was discovered.
The dose was increased to
50 minutes
or more at once.
What’s more, the content
is extremely deep.
Since it is a tape
owned by McGoverny,
it will be the Mustaine era,
but the riff is not limited to
the songs recorded in
“KILL ‘EM ALL”.
“RIDE THE LIGHTNING”,
“… AND JUSTICE FOR ALL”,
“BLACK ALBUM”,
and even
“HARDWIRED… TO SELF-DESTRUCT”
riffs have appeared.
And more interesting than that is
that MEGADETH’s riffs
also appear in large quantities.
If you are a fan of both bands,
everyone is concerned about
“Which riff was devised by
James and which
riff was
Mustaine’s souvenir?”
This tape is also an important piece
of evidence for the elucidation
(In addition, this work is divided into 26 tracks
according to the research of overseas maniacs,
but in reality more
various riffs will appear.
Some of them have
not been used yet.
There are riffs that seem to be,
and there are variations
that are quite different
from the final version).
Unlike the main press CD
“NO LIFE ‘TIL LEATHER: DEFINITIVE EDITION”,
this garage-recorded work
cannot be said to have a
demo-like sound for everyone.
However, that is why their roots,
the situation at the time
when they were amateurs,
are directly transmitted,
they improve with each take,
the songs are elaborated,
and the sounds are getting better.
If you’ve ever played in a band,
I’m sure you’ll feel
even more familiar with
METALLICA
by linking it with your memories.
It’s full of romance like this
(unlike many demo boots),
which is neatly organized
and can be listened to
in chronological order.
If you listen to this work
“NO LIFE ‘TIL LEATHER: Definitive Edition”
“KILL ‘EM ALL”
in order,
you can accompany the progress
from the first step to the debut.
After that,
METALLICA
caused numerous revolutions,
and Mustaine who
pursued them.
Please check with your own ears
how the heroes who will change
even the music industry
will start their careers!
