It's pretty cool that they covered this back then...it's not like Metallica was a huge classic band at the time...Kill Em All (which included this song) was only about a year old in 1984.

[@killercross2323]

Music was being sold since 81 tho

[@reysonhingada4366]

Because metallica is already named one of the big four thrash bands at that time

[@EricWmUpdate]

Sorry bro your absolutely wrong..... Mettalica Kill em all was an instant classic. They were the leaders of thrash metal and (being a metal hating punk rocker) they brought into existence a whole new genre of music and expanded fan base. To put it lightly they "Blew the F up"

[@luisugalde6956]

@@EricWmUpdate Still KEA was quite underground and only heard round the metal bubble back then. With that said, Pantera being a band from the time (old incarnation) will of course know about the hottest stuff coming out). They (Metallica) really started to conquer the world during/after RTL.

[@metalben005]

Being real, every thrash album from the early 80s sounded the same for the most part. Kill Em All and Fistfull of Metal are extremely similar. Same with Bonded by Blood and Show No Mercy.

Actually it's pretty easy if you're a good guitarist.

The hardest part is learning the guitar solos but even those with a great guitarist one or 2 listens and they have it

I was skeptical before I watched this, but Dimebag's Solo and the big Pantera logo proves me wrong. Well, this is also when he was Diamond and not Dimebag.
