Garage, Inc. es un álbum de Metallica, publicado en 1998. El disco incluye 27 canciones, entre ellas «Free Speech For The Dumb», «It's Electric», «Sabbra Cadabra» y «Turn The Page».
Lanzado en 1998, Garage, Inc. es un álbum doble de Metallica que sirve como un apasionado tributo a sus influencias musicales. El proyecto consta de dos discos: el primero es una colección de versiones completamente nuevas, grabadas específicamente para este álbum, de canciones de bandas de punk, hard rock y de la Nueva Ola del Heavy Metal Británico (NWOBHM) que inspiraron a Metallica en sus inicios. El segundo disco es una compilación de todas las caras B y versiones que la banda había grabado a lo largo de su carrera, incluyendo el ya descatalogado y muy codiciado EP "The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited". "Garage, Inc." es un regreso a la energía cruda y sin pulir de sus primeros años y fue visto por muchos fans como una disculpa bienvenida tras la controvertida era de "Load" y "Reload".
Antecedentes de su creación
Después de dos álbumes de estudio muy producidos y estilísticamente complejos, Metallica quería hacer algo más directo, rápido y divertido. La idea de grabar un álbum de versiones les permitió relajarse en el estudio y simplemente tocar la música que amaban. El título es un guiño a su EP "Garage Days Re-Revisited" de 1987 y al sonido crudo de una "banda de garaje".
Análisis del contenido (disco 1)
El primer disco, grabado con el productor Bob Rock, es una clase de historia del rock pesado. La banda aborda una amplia gama de artistas, dándole a cada canción su propio sello. Incluye versiones potentes de "Free Speech for the Dumb" de Discharge, "It's Electric" de Diamond Head (una de sus mayores influencias) y un medley de Mercyful Fate. La balada de Bob Seger, "Turn the Page", fue transformada en una poderosa power ballad que se convirtió en un gran éxito en la radio. Su versión del clásico folk irlandés "Whiskey in the Jar", popularizada por Thin Lizzy, también fue un sencillo exitoso y les valió un premio Grammy.
Análisis del contenido (disco 2)
El segundo disco es un tesoro para los fans de toda la vida. Comienza con el EP "The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited" completo, su primera grabación con Jason Newsted. También incluye las caras B de sencillos de los 80, como las versiones de Budgie y Diamond Head, y las versiones de Queen ("Stone Cold Crazy") y Mötorhead ("Overkill", "Damage Case") de su sencillo "Hero of the Day". Es una colección completa de su "material no original" hasta esa fecha.

They're walking by the night The moon has frozen blue Long black coats a shelter for the rain Their 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 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 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 The curse of the pharaohs can be so deadly Just destroying your future Makin' it all shady Don't touch, never ever steal Unless you're in for the kill (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, I'm a corpse, I'm a corpse I'm a corpse without soul Satan, he's taken, he's taken He's taken his toll And he took it on me I, I'm trapped, I'm trapped I'm trapped in his spell Tonight, I'm going, I'm going I'm going to Hell, inside his spell Howl like a wolf And a witch will open the door Follow me and meet our high priestess Come, come into my coven And become Lucifer's child Undress until you're naked And put on this white coat Take this white cross and go to the center of the ring Come, come into my coven 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 You know my only pleasure Is to hear you cry I'd love to hear you cry I'd love to see you die And I'll be the first To watch your funeral And I'll be the last to leave I'd love to hear you cry And when you're down beyond the ground I'll dig up your body again And make love to shame Oh lady cry, and say goodbye (goodbye) Oh lady cry, and say goodbye You've gotta say goodbye 'Cause I will eat your mind - Tuesday's Gone
