I bet if they would of had more luck with there manager and wouldnt have made so many stupid discisions they would probaly be one of the best metal bands out
And Metallica would have been unknown(atleast to mainstream)
GUYS! I LOVE METALLICA! BECAUSE THEIR MANY COVERS ALLOWED THE BAND TO REFORM FROM ROYALTIES! we should be mad at diamond head's studio, they should have been advertised and pushed and everything they are as good as iron maiden and in my eyes better!
yeah the thing is metallicas version i kick ass and rougher but this version is more clean and better sounding & you cant go wrong with the original :D
My favorite indy wrestler in all the world, Death Falcon Zero, comes out to this song. Perfect into. Love how he works the "Am I evil? Yes I am!" into his schtick. Great song. Great worker.
this classic kicks metallica even in their 80s glory, the evil sound does not need speed it needs crazyness and steve harris showed it, then it comes speed and all those elements you know from the branches of metal.
metallica did a great job for the cover. and its rare to find any band to do well on a cover, most bands do horrible covers and not just this songs but any song. diamond head rulez and the riff here is just plain genius.
Thank you, alineto666, for posting this video ! I think the Metallica-Version is maybe a little bit heavier but this is better in another way.... it sounds so mystic, because of the vocals. very good ! It´s a shame, that the original never got the credits and appreciation as the cover.
I know that Am I evil was re-recorded once. is this the version from 1982's Borrowed Time LP or the original version remastered or something? I have the original white album version and it doesn't sound like this one. isn't Sean supposed to say "Mr. Guitar" before the solo? i do remember hearing him say that in some version of this song.
I bet if they would of had more luck with there manager and wouldnt have made so many stupid discisions they would probaly be one of the best metal bands out

Maybe the best metal song in the world.
Everythings perfect about it: the intro, the lyrics, the solo, the bass, the drumming, the guitar, the vocals, and of course the killer riff!
