2 weeks left!! The Air Up There Acoustic EP!! 24.9.21!! Let's talk about the 3rd song, yup, the Metallica Cover. Damage, Inc. off 1986's Master of Puppets!

Many, many moons ago Paul and I always talked about how cool it would be to be able to be in a band in a position to release a bad ass cover of a song like Damage Inc or Disposable Heroes off the Master of Puppets Album. That album is ridiculous, riffs, tempo, lyrics, everything about it. There's some pretty deep song writing there. This was waaaay back when Paul was in New Sedition and No Quarter still had the first EP line up. Somehow at all the house shows or whatever me and Paul would find ourselves blind talking about old school albums and what we'd cover if we were in a band together. He used to get so passionate about it. I also have another good mate Grahame who is very supportive who always said "Maaaaateee, a Metallica cover?? It'd have to be special to pull it off". Well, we got there. It was a challenge for us all but super stoked with how it turned out!!!!

It took some drunken tour chats to convince Chris and Darcy, even they can see now it was fun and worth the effort. A big part of me pushing for it was knowing how much it'd mean to Paul. He loved every minute of it, and crushed it. Him and Darcy split the solo, so Darcy takes over at the end. When Paul did his solo for it he was being heaps nervous then bam!! Laid it down in pretty much one take. Later he told me he'd spent hours going over different tabs and videos to make sure he did it as accurate as possible. That's just how much he loves music❤️ I think we all crushed it to be fair. Chris was worried how he'd sing it, but I think he nailed it. Josh's bass rumbling along it tight as. Darcy's section of the solo he also laid down ridiculously fast, and not to mention the production effort he's put in, it sounds amazing. It's a perfect taste of how the full album will sound sonically. As for me, I think I was 2 takes, maybe 2 and a half?? Talk about some cardio...

There's a lot of Metallica covers out there, we wanted to do one of their songs that we were inspired by instead of their later stuff. Those fast choppy palm mute driven Hetfield riffs have inspired all of our song writing. There's also a million punk rock covers out there. But we wanted to do something a little different. Being a punk rock band with a lot of metal style riffs, we thought this suited well. I imagine there'll be a bazillion Metallica fans who will throw shade, but we had a blast and I hope u enjoy it!
