Here is the very 1st version of "Hit The Lights" from the first Metal Massacre compilation way back in 1982. The band name was spelled incorrectly on the album (spelled Mettallica). Guitar solo was done by Llyod Grant. Band was only Hetfield and Ullrich at that time. James Hetfield hated the version so much, a new version with Dave Mustaine on guitars appeared on the 2nd pressing of Metal Massacre I.

First Version from Metal Massacre I: with Lloyd Grant on guitars; James Hetfield vocals/bass; Lars Ulrich drums

Second version from Metal Massacre I: with Dave Mustaine on guitars; James Hetfield vocals/bass; Lars Ulrich drums

Kill 'Em All version:

- Anyone else stream Metal Shop Rocks?

  I stream it everyday. You have two choices, Metal Shop and Hair Band Radio. Both are awesome and commercial free. There’s too many ballads for me on HBR, though. I learn early 80’s bands everyday on the Metal Shop, plus all my favorites into the early 90’s. https://metalshoprocks.torontocast.stream/

  I love Lizzy Borden and absolutely love that album. "Be One of Us" is a Killer track that's obviously inspired by "The Lost Boys". They even mention "Lost Boys" in the lyrics

  That's right. I do remember that now. Chris joined my shit list years ago, so not surprised I forgot about this and would explain why Carsten would want to step out on his own.

  You should give them a go. Most will be other greatest hits albums Particularly Home On A Monday which has a nice Cool Change vibe to it and also Playing To Win, which is rockier than most others.
