those are mustaine style licks. i don't know for sure. i haven't listened to lloyd grant so i'll have to check him out to decide whether i believe the title of this vid.
The song only James wrote, before even entering Metallica, together with Phantom Lord. So, those people who think Dave wrote whole Kill'em All are wrong...
@WMGsuck this is lars on drums, grant on guitar, james on vocals, guitar, and bass. mcgovney wasnt on this because he wasnt in the band yet so james did it.
@ScooterAndOtis dude it was lars on drums, mcgovney in bass and james singing the guitar work was lloyds but mustaine was already in the band, lloyd has never been in metallica and dave in his book mentions that he was indignated to see that the guitar work in metal massacre was lloyds and not his but he was already in the band as mcgovney
@ScooterAndOtis Everyone here has it wrong. James is on vocals, rhythm guitar and bass. Lars is on drums. Dave plays the two lead breaks at 1:11 and 1:50. Lloyd plays the final solo at 2:56. It's true, Metallica says so, Dave Mustaine has said so, and several biographers have said so. Originally there was no solo at 2:56. This version had already been recorded. Lars decided another solo was needed, but Mustaine wasn't around and the recording had to be taken to get mastered. Lars stopped by...
@skiiddo CONTINUED - At Lloyd's house on the way to get it mastered (they were still friends, even after Lloyd was kicked out of Metallica) and asked him to record a solo quickly, and that solo is what you hear at 2:56. Trust me, everyone that knew the band at the time has said it went like that.
@skiiddo i actually just learned that ironically. i was reading the ron mcgovney interview so yeah, your right, mustaine wasnt really a member yet though was he? he had just barely got in the band correct?
@ScooterAndOtis Yeah, it was still unclear as to whether Dave or Lloyd would be the full time member at this point. But Llyod was unreliably and often missed rehearsals, much like Ron McGovney ended up doing, and in the same way, he lost his role to the more talented and reliable option. It just goes to show that you don't skip damn band rehearsals, I mean... what were Lloyd and Ron thinking? They could be chart-topping billionaires now if they had been more reliable.
@skiiddo i dont know abt grant, but the moment james and lars saw burton, ron was out already. wouldnt have mattered if he skipped the rehearsals or did not
@skiiddo Yep, this is absolutely accurate. Ron wasn't there. James on vocals, rhythm guitar, and bass. Lloyd plays the lead, and Lars bangs some cans together to make drum noises. ;)
This is going to be random, but ive been seeing your comments everywhere. An hour ago i was watching a Tantara video and i saw your comment there, and now here on a metallica demo and i see another one of comments haha.
@MrDR7no no, when dave joined, he was the only guitarist, then Lloyd joined there were 2 guitar players, james started learning, then lloyd was out, i think, dont hold me to it
CONFUCION: there was a song they did and they had an overdub of either bass or guitar by an african american/jamacian person. I read about it in a Metallica book. Also I guess there is 2 versions of this for the Metal massacre (including a re-issue) and the version in NO LIFE TILL... Because I went to a used record store in another city, heard this, but didnt but that copy of Metal massacre, it was sooooo long ago, I remember it so differently.
@MichaelHansenFUN loyd grant was african american. he played on this one.. the second had dave mustaine. the second was different.. no question about it
Lloyd Grant was ONLY hired for this song and quickly replaced by Dave Mustaine, who was replaced in 1983 by Kirk Hammett.
James Hetfield moved to guitar and vocals and his roommate, Ron McGovney was their bassist for a while until they found Cliff Burton, also in 1983.
We all know that Cliff was tragically killed in Sep. 1986 in a bus wreck and Metallica released their last true metal album (aside from Garage Inc.) in 1988.
@MaelSechlinn Ron McGovney left metallica because Dave Mustaine poured beer down his bass and when Ron went to play it he got shocked and left because of dave
Here's something I don't think anyone has mentioned yet, and that is according to info culled from both "Metallica: Unbound" and Dave Mustaine's autobiography, the only solo Lloyd Grant played was the last one on the first version. Dave had already recorded the first two solos, and someone decided it needed another solo, so they stopped by Lloyd's house on the way to get the demo mastered, and had Lloyd rip out a one-take solo. It's the only time he ever did anything with Metallica.
@MikeyboyMovies rob was so awesome with suicidal because he could play his funk influences there imagen a metallica with funk elements would be strange
I thought that James did the guitar, bass, and vocals and Lars did the drums, but who did the lead? Is it that Lloyd Grant guy your talking about? I'm pretty sure I'm right because it said that on the behind the music and if you do your research it'll say the same thing. They just had james do bass,vocals,guitars, and lars on drums because they had to hurry up and get the song done so it could get put on the record.
@queenville hetfield wasnt a very experienced guitar player yet so lloyd played guitar and there were only 3 band members for the demo, lars-drums, james- vocals only, and lloyd guitar
@andrewds98 wikipedia says that james played bass and you can hear a bass there as well, but actually i was replying to the guy who said this is the only good metallica lineup
@andrewds98 james did play bass in that recording. they didnt have mcgovney yet so james decided to play bass in this recording and have grant and mustaine be the guitar players
@DonLduk You are a dumb-ass poser . Who does not know shit ! Mustaine wrote the song , but Hetfield sang it at that show . Mustaine did the intro to the song and the outro to the song .Everybody is telling you are wrong . So listen .
Sick of all the bitchin' about Dave and Kirk.....we all heard about the thrash 4 sonisphere concert. Dave and Metallica have put their differences aside, as should all the people bitchin' and just see these guys as the amazing musicians that they are.
@nolifetillleather6 well i'm doubtful they have. i'm sure kirk doesn't care at all. but it seems to me mustaine still holds a grudge judging by his attitude when they did the "am I evil" 4 bands thing. really the big 4 concerts was probably commisioned by metallica and the other bands signed on because they really need money. like its pretty damn obvious metallica holds the cards in these concerts considering they're way WAY more commercial than the other 3
it said in the dave mustiane book that the reason dave got to gether to meet was because he found a newspaper ad that a band was looking for a guitarist, and it said one of their influences were budgie and dave and lars were big fans of them
big metallica fan here, but i just think this sucks. the recording quality is horrible, you can;t hear the bass drum, and, well, then there's hetfield's voice.
@JohnTheRipper2 this was from the early 80's before pro tools or anything this was a demo. as far as james he was influenced by diamond head judas priest etc so that explains the voice
Shit I really need to upload the bootlegs from Ron's garage on here. I fought to the death on Ebay for Garage days 2 and took it for $65. "KILLED EM ALL"
@rageagainstboxhead one can only speculate but without the input of a brilliant basist like Burton, they wouldnt have come further than Kill em All. theyd probly go in another direction, we can only speculate..
@rageagainstboxhead well if Lloyd and Ron was in the band Metallica wouldn't have "four horse men, for whom the bell tolls, and other badass songs that made metallica stand out, theyd just be another Diamond head lmao
I dont get why some of you guys are comparing kirk and dave to Lloyd, kirk and dave have over at least 100 songs in which they play in and all you've probably heard of Lloyd grant is this 1 minute and a half solo.....
Wow, this is pretty bad, I'm not gonna lie. Mainly Jame's voice. But bands have to start somewhere, and its just fucking AWESOME to listen to this recording.

I dont get why some of you guys are comparing kirk and dave to Lloyd, kirk and dave have over at least 100 songs in which they play in and all you've probably heard of Lloyd grant is this 1 minute and a half solo.....

Wow, this is pretty bad, I'm not gonna lie. Mainly Jame's voice. But bands have to start somewhere, and its just fucking AWESOME to listen to this recording.

Lloyd Grant kicks ass. Better than Hammett, and equally as good as Mustaine
