Inspiration for Garage Years...

The year is 1988, I'm an 8-year old snot nose kid sitting in the back of the school bus with my yellow sport Walkman, listening to my sisters Def Leppard "Hysteria" tape that I had stolen from her that morning. An older middle school kid jerks my headphones off and aggressively asks, "What are you listening to?!" When I answer the look on his face is one I will never forget. It was like he wanted to punch me, but also teach me at the same time. "Here, kid! Take this tape home, make a copy, and bring it back tomorrow!!"

That tape was the Metallica "$5.98 E.P. Garage Days Re-Revisited" and it changed my fucking life forever by introducing me to The Misfits and punk rock. I ran out that weekend and purchased a copy of The Misfits "Earth A.D." tape with quarters that I had stolen from my dad's change tray.

At this point I knew Metallica well since my cousin Travis had given me a stolen copy of "Kill Em All" when I was 5 years old. Also, my first concert was the "Master Of Puppets" tour at the Civic Center in Charleston, WV when I was just 7 years old. This was also thanks to Travis, who was already a teenage drug addict at that point, but pretty kick ass first concert, right?

I've always wanted to put together a Metallica tribute album, so when the time finally came I knew the music needed to be a punk rock tribute to early Metallica, with cover art that incorporated my love of the Garage Days and Earth A.D. layouts.

Hope you all enjoy the music and the artwork.

Thanks for the support,

Mike Billups
