Features all the cover songs Metallica have recorded over the years plus 11 new cover songs that were recorded in 1998.
Lars: “We make albums like Garage Inc. because they're fun to do. Doing covers has always been a great way for us to break away from our normal recording process. It allows for a much looser approach, and it's always fun taking other people’s songs and adding our own spin to them.” FREE SPEECH FOR THE DUMB (Originally recorded by Discharge)
The song "Free Speech for the Dumb" was originally released by Discharge in 1982 on their album "Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing".
Although its lyrics consist just of a one-liner it could be interpreted in two ways. Either it can be taken word-to-word or as an oxymoron because sometimes a mute person is called dumb so the line "Free speech for the dumb" could be used as "Free speech for the mute". Free speech, free speech, for the dumb Free speech, free speech, for the dumb Free speech, free speech, for the dumb Free fucking speech Free speech, free speech, for the dumb Free speech, free speech, for the dumb Free speech, free speech, for the dumb Free fucking speech TOP IT'S ELECTRIC (Originally recorded by Diamond Head)
The song "It's Electric" was originally released by Diamond Head in 1980 on the "Lightning to the Nations" album.
I'm gonna be a rock and roll star, gotta groove from night to day Gotta blow my crummy job, gonna blow my blues away I'm gonna make a stand, gonna make a million, Gonna make it with you I'm gonna be wild my friend, I gotta push it through Whoa, yeah, It's electric It's electric Yeah, It's electric, yeah It's electric, whoa yeah I stop on red but leave on amber Danger paves my way I'm gonna make it my friend, gonna make it today Gonna get this dust from my heels Down the highway I go Gonna get the stars from my route Make it in a rock and roll show Whoa, yeah Yeah, It's electric It's electric Yo, It's electric, yeah It's electric, whoa I stop on red but leave on amber Danger paves my way I'm gonna make it my friend, gonna make it today Gonna get this dust from my heels Down the highway I go Gonna get the stars from my route Make it in a rock and roll show Whoa, It's electric, yeah It's electric Yeah, It's electric, yeah It's electric Yeah, It's electric It's electric, yo, yeah TOP SABBRA CADABRA (Originally recorded by Black Sabbath)
The song "Sabbra Cadabra" was originally released by Black Sabbath in December 1973 on the album "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
Lars: "I remember on the Load tour, talking with Kirk about this project one night in Frankfurt, staying up and watching the sun rise, and saying, 'If we do any Sabbath, it's got to be 'Sabbra Cadabra'. There's actually a bit of that fill in '2x4'. Black Sabbath were not a direct influence on our music... But they were a big influence on the four of us as we were growing up." Feel so good, I feel so fine I love my little lady, always on my mind She gives me lovin every night and day Never gonna leave her, never going away Someone to love me You know she makes me feel alright, yeah, alright Someone to need me, love me every single night, yeah Feel so happy since I met that girl When we're making love it's something out of this world Feels so good to know that she's all mine Gonna love that woman till the end of time Someone to live for I'll love her till the end of time, yeah She makes me feel happy It's good to know that she's all mine I am the world that hides the universal secret of all time Destruction of the empty spaces is my one and only crime I lived a thousand times, I found out what it means to be believed The thoughts and images, the unborn child never was conceived You gotta believe me Hey, I'm talkin' to you Well, I know it's hard for you to know the reason why And I know you'll understand when it's time to die I don't believe the knife you have will be the only one You have to let your body sleep to let your soul live on Feel so happy since I met that girl When we're making love it's something out of this world Feels so good to know that she's all mine Gonna love that woman till the end of time Someone to live for Love me till the end of time, yeah She makes me feel happy It's good to know that she's all mine She's all mine, yeah Yo, yeah TOP TURN THE PAGE (Originally recorded by Bob Seger)
The song was originally released by Bob Seger in 1973 on the "Back in '72" album. The song is about the other side of a band's life on tour. The deafening silence after the audience leaves, the loneliness of hotel rooms and the stares in restaurants.
Roughly three years before the band recorded "Garage Inc." Lars listened to Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" and he was impressed at how good Seger described the stupefying stuff the fans never see when a band is touring. Lars: "That song has James Hetfield written all over it." On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha You can listen to the engine, moanin out as one long song You can think about the woman, or the girl you knew the night before But your thoughts will soon be wanderin, the way they always do When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through Here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage There I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page So you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode Yeah most times you can't here 'em talk, other times you can All the same 'ole cliches: is it woman, is it man? And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand Make your stand Here I am, on the road again There I am, up on the stage Here I go, playing the star again There I go, turn the page Oh, out there in the spotlight, tourin a million miles away Every ounce of energy, you try and give away As the sweat pours out your body, like the music that you play Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed With the echoes of the amplifiers ringin' in your head You smoke the days last cigarette, remembering what she said Yeah, here I am, on the road again There I am, up on that stage Here I go, playing star again And there I go, turn the page And there I go, turn that page There I go, yeah yeah, there I go, yeah yeah yeah There I go, yeah Here I go, yeah There I go, there I go....long gone.... TOP DIE, DIE MY DARLING (Originally recorded by The Misfits)
The song was originally released by The Misfits in 1984 as a single. James: "Awesome, ugly shit. I always liked their poppy modulations combined with singing about death."
Die, die, die my darling Don't utter a single word Die, die, die my darling Just shut your pretty eyes I'll be seeing you again I'll be seeing you... in Hell So Don't cry to me, oh baby Your future's in an oblong box Don't cry to me, oh baby You should have seen it coming on Don't cry to me, oh baby You had to know it was in your cards Don't cry to me, oh baby Dead-end zone for a dead-end girl Don't cry to me, oh baby And now your life drains on that floor Don't cry to me, oh baby Die, die, die my darling Don't utter a single word Die, die, die my darling Just shut your pretty mouth I'll be seeing you again I'll be seeing you in Hell Don't cry to me, oh baby Your future's in an oblong box Don't cry to me, oh baby You should have seen it coming on Don't cry to me, oh baby You had to know it was in your cards Don't cry to me, oh baby Dead-end zone for a dead-end girl Don't cry to me, oh baby And now your life drains on that floor Don't cry to me, oh baby Die, die, die my darling Don't utter a single word Die, die, die my darling Just shut your pretty mouth I'll be seeing you again I'll be seeing you in Hell Die die die, die die die, die die die die... She's dyin TOP LOVERMAN (Originally recorded by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds)
The song "Loverman" was originally released by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds in 1994 on the album "Let Love In".
Cave first came to James' attention through Metallica's producer Bob Rock who gave James a copy of Cave's death-song cycle "Murder Ballads". There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer) There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer) And he's bucking and braying and pawing at the floor (How much longer) And he's howling with pain and crawling up the walls (How much longer) There's a devil waitin outside your door (How much longer) And he's weak with evil and broken by the world (How much longer) And he's shouting your name and asking for more (How much longer) There's a devil waiting outside your door (How much longer) Loverman, since the world began Forever, amen Till the end of time Yeah, take off that dress Ooh, I'm coming down, yeah I'm your loverman, yeah Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am L is for love, baby O is for only you that I do V is for loving virtually everything that you are E is for loving almost everything that you do R is for rape me M is for murder me A is for answering all of my prayers N is for knowing your loverman's going to Be the answer to all of yours Loverman, till the bitter end While the empires burn down Forever and ever and ever and ever amen I'm your loverman So help me, baby So help me, baby Cause I am what I am what I am what I am what I am I'm your loverman There's a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer) There's a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer) With a trembling heart, he's coming through your door (How much longer) With his straining sex in his jumping paw (How much longer) There's a devil crawling along your floor (How much longer) And he's old and he's stupid and he's hungry and he's sore And he's blind and he's lame and he's dirty and he's poor Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more, gimme more Gimme more, gimme more, gimme more (How much longer) There's a devil crawling along your floor Loverman, ha hah, and here I stand Forever, amen Cause I am what I am what I am what I am Hey, forgive me baby My hands are tied And I got no choice no no no no I got no choice, no choice at all I'll say it again L is for love, baby O is for oh yes I do V is for virtue, so I ain' t gonna hurt you E is for even if you want me to R is for render unto me baby M is for that which is mine A is for any old how, darling N is for any old time Loverman, yeah yeah yeah I got the master plan, yeah To take off your dress Yeah and be your man, be your man, hey Seize the throne, ha hah, seize the mantle Seize that crown, yeah Cause I am what I am what I am what I am, yes I am I'm your Loverman There's a devil laying by your side (How much longer) There's a devil laying by your side (How much longer) You might think he's asleep but take a look at his eyes (How much longer) And he wants you, darlin, to be his bride (How much longer) Yeah there's a devil lying by your side (How much longer) Loverman, loverman, loverman I'll be your loverman till the end of time Till the empires burn down Forever, amen I'll be your loverman, I'll be your loverman I'm your loverman, I'm your loverman Yeah I'm your loverman I'm your loverman, loverman I'm your loverman, I'm your loverman Yeah I'm your loverman Yes, I'm your loverman Loverman, your loverman Loverman, forever amen Loverman, loverman How much longer TOP MERCYFUL FATE (Originally recorded by Mercyful Fate)

The song "A Corpse without a Soul" was originally released by Mercyful Fate in 1982 on the "Mercyful Fate" EP. All other songs were originally released by Mercyful Fate in 1983 on the "Melissa" album. Lars: "I think it's dear to all of us, we realize 15 years later how tremendously influential they were and what a motherfucker it was to execute. Just realizing how those guys were such brilliant musicians and have such a great thing going was very cool." They're walking by the night, the moon has frozen blue Long black coats a shelter for the rain, the load must get through Now bats are leaving their trees, they're joining the call Seven satanic Hell preachers heading for the hall Bringing the blood of a newborn child, yeah Got to succeed, if not it's Satan's fall Way out in Egypt in the valley of kings Where the mummified pharaohs pretend dead in their sleep, yeah Don't touch, never ever steal Unless you're in for the kill Oh you've be hit by the curse of the pharaohs Yes you been hit and the curse is on you Hit me Ooh, the curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly Just destroying your future, makin it all shady, yeah Don't touch, never ever steal Unless you're in for the kill Or you'll be hit by the curse of the pharaohs Yes you'll be hit and the curse is on you Listen, (Listen, listen) Yeah, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse without soul Satan, (Satan, Satan) Yeah, he's taken, he's taken, he's taken his toll He took it on me I, (I, I) Yeah, I'm trapped, I'm trapped, I'm trapped in his spell Tonight, (Tonight, tonight) Yeah, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going to Hell I inside his spell Howl like a wolf And a witch will open the door Follow me, and meet our high priestess Yeah, come come, into my coven Yeah, and become Lucifer's child Undress till you're naked And put on this white coat Take this white cross, and go to the center of the ring Yeah, come come, into my coven Yeah, and become Lucifer's child I was born on the cemetery, under the sign of the moon Raised from my grave by the dead And I was made a mercenary in the legions of Hell Now I'm king of pain, I'm insane, yeah!

The song "Astronomy" was originally released by the band Blue Öyster Cult in 1974 on the album "Secret Treaties".
James: "That song has always been pretty epic to me. Listening to the song, we thought whether we should even fuck with it because it's so sacred. We tried it and it came out pretty well." Clock strikes twelve and moon drops burst Out at you from their hiding place Like acid and oil on a madman's face His reason tend to fly away Like lesser birds on the four winds, yeah Like silver scrapes in May And now the sand's become a crust And most of you have gone away Yeah, gone away Ah come Susie dear, let's take a walk Just out there upon the beach I know you'll soon be married And you'll want to know where winds come from Well it's never said at all on the map that Carrie reads Behind the clock back there you know At the Four Winds Bar Mmm, yeah Yeah hey!

TOP WHISKEY IN THE JAR (Originally recorded by Thin Lizzy)
Although the song "Whiskey in the Jar" revived the first time on a record by the Irish singing group the Dubliners, Metallica covered the version which was originally released by Thin Lizzy in 1972 as a UK single.
The song is about a young bandit who robs an army officer to keep his girlfriend happy and was imprisoned after she betrays him. James: “It’s extremely catchy and the fact it isn’t really their song is weird, it’s some Irish drinking song.” As I was goin over the Cork and Kerry mountains I saw Captain Farrell, and his money he was countin I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier I said, stand and deliver, oh, or the devil he may take ya I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny I took all of his money, yeah and I brought it home to Molly She swore that she'd love me, no never would she leave me But the devil take that woman, yeah, for you know she treat me easy Musha ring dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber Takin' Molly with me but I never knew the danger For about six or maybe seven, yeah in walks Captain Farrell I jumped up, fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels Yeah, musha ring dum a doo dum a da, heh heh Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o Yeah, whiskey, yoh whiskey Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin And some men like to hear, to hear cannon ball a roarin' Me I like sleepin, specially in my Molly's chamber But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, heh heh Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o, yeah Whiskey in the jar-o Musha ring dum a doo dum a da Musha ring dum a doo dum a da Hey, musha ring dum a doo dum a da Musha ring dum a doo dum a da, yeah TOP TUESDAY'S GONE (Originally recorded by Lynyrd Skynyrd)

We gave Randy (Staub) the tapes of it and said 'here, mix this' and he was like 'holy shit'. There's 20 guys on it, and it had a great vibe. I always loved that one. It's a movin'-on song: you're splitting, you're leaving your woman at home. You're off doing your own thing. It really fits the road." Special guests on this song included: John Popper, Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, Les Claypool, Pepper Keenan, "Big" Jim Martin, and Gary Rossington.
