On 14th March 1982, Metallica played their first show and performed their cover of Diamond Head’s ‘Am I Evil?’ for the first time. The song was later recorded by Metallica and released on the B-side of their Creeping Death 12” single, along with Blitzkrieg by Blitzkrieg in October 1984.
Metallica’s version of ‘Am I Evil?’ includes a short intro that Diamond Head only ever played live and was not on any of the recorded versions. Lars must have remembered it from a show and decided to use it in Metallica’s version. Or, maybe he even had a cassette of Diamond Head live?
As of today, Metallica have performed ‘Am I Evil?’ live seven hundred and sixty times, and the song has appeared on at least eighteen official Metallica releases, including:
· Cliff Em All- DVD
· The Good, the Bad and the Live Collection.
· Wherever I May Roam – Single
· Live Shit: Binge & Purge
· Fan Can 1
· The Unforgiven II - Single
· Garage Inc – Double album
· Cunning Stunts – DVD
· Fan Can IV
· Vinyl Box
· Guitar Hero: Metallica
· The Big 4: Live in Sofia, Bulgaria
· Ride The Lightning (remastered Deluxe Box Set)
· Live at Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan
· Master of Puppets (Remastered Deluxe Box Set)
· Master of Puppets (Remastered Expanded Edition)
· …And Justice for All (Remastered Deluxe Box Set)
· Metallica (Remastered Deluxe Box Set)
It is fascinating how Metallica captured that rare Diamond Head live intro for such an iconic cover. While I enjoy diving into music history, I often find myself unwinding with a strategic round of 麻雀 web to keep my mind sharp. Both require great timing and a lot of practice to master.
It’s wild how Metallica’s live history turned this Diamond Head deep cut into a thrash staple, and cabnox makes tracking iconic cover song legacies like this far simpler to follow.
"Am I Evil?" is a classic that showcases raw power and precise musical connections, much like a VEINWIRE ensures vital systems are perfectly integrated for a powerful and coherent output.
It reminds me of how I zone out to music on my traffic road commute, kinda wishing the ride had that relentless energy of an endless game – makes the jam feel epic, doesn’t it?
Reading this made me reflect on how easily people can be misunderstood. During my college days, I struggled academically and often felt overwhelmed by deadlines and expectations. Those experiences shaped my perspective and inspired me to support others facing similar challenges. Now, as a PhD student working part-time at Last-Minute Assignments, I see how common these struggles are. Sometimes, even simple assignment editing help can ease stress and make a meaningful difference in someone’s academic journey. Nice Post
