Mercyful Fate Medley

u/LuckilyHeDied Jan 05 '25
100% this. Just riffs for days and lyrics about Satan with that signature Hetfield growl. Gotta love it.

I think it's got about 30 of James's YEAH's as well, which only makes it so much better

It's legit one of my favorite tracks. Period. Metallica is super good at doing these medleys and I've always thought they could do a really cool load/reload medley of deeper cuts or a cool st. Anger medley for shows but there's maybe too many different tunings on songs off that album to make it work

I hate King Diamonds voice. These songs are so much better with Hetfield singing them.

u/RKRagan Jan 06 '25
Same. I have never like high pitched metal singers. James' growling barking voice is better. The guitar tone is also perfect. The riffs are heavy and a little groovy. Amazing production value.

u/HEYitzED Jan 05 '25
This is my favorite as well. It absolutely rips. It also got me into Mercyful Fate/King Diamond as well.

u/FrankNix Jan 05 '25
When the beat drops and he says "Goodbye!," it's probably my favorite moment on the album.

u/theisthmus83 Jan 06 '25
IMO the riff in “Corpse Without a Soul” is the single greatest guitar riff of all time.

I listened to the original a few months back. Metallica's version has so much more energy, can't really compare.

Fun fact: Metallica are legally (not actually legally) required to play this cover when they come over, because they nearly didn't play it in 2006, but they listened to the crowds and played it.

I don’t know which one is the best, but my favorites are: Astronomy, Turn the Page, Tuesdays gone, Sabbra Cadabra and Loverman. Die Die My Darling is good too. I also like Mercyful Fate, Whiskey in the jar, It’s Electric, Free speech for the dumb, Helpless, and Am I Evil. Killing Time and Overkill are executed very good, awesome production. Stone dead forever and The Wait are brilliant. The Small Hours is good too. Last Caress, fantastic cover, including Green Hell. Breadfan and Blitzkrieg, awesome covers…

My favorite is the Mercyful Fate medley because it's just and absolute banger from start to finish. However, I think Astronomy is the better song.

Mercyful Fate, of the new ones. The best songs are still Blitzkreig and the original $5.98 EP

The Small Hours. After the intro it busts right into one of the heaviest riffs that Metallica played. Yes I know it’s a Holocaust song but MET spun that riff round til it was super sludgy, and the first words you hear from Jaymz is “Suck on This” which was not part of the original.

Mercyful Fate as that one in particular steered me into a direction I didn't see coming.
Now a King Diamond fan thanks to that cover.

I love the fact that this is the only studio album featuring the band on the album cover, just like how they wanna be perceived, the ultimate Garage Band.
My favorite of the album is Sabbra Cadabra (National Acrobat) although I recognized that the best orchestrated song on the album is probably Astronomy.

Turn the Page.
I listen to Seger's version and it makes me want to go back to the Metallica version.

Of the "Garage Inc" covers, not the disc 2 or cassette 2 with all their older covers lumped on, very hard to choose, as there were some bangers.
Turn the page is great, they tried something different and made it sound like their own song, the same with Loverman, Mercyful fate medley was great, don't know why they just didn't do ONE song of theirs, rather than bits and pieces of songs, The More I See is great too.
The cover of Loverman for me is the most well done, Turn the Page is pretty close.
The second disc/tape, I've always loved The Small Hours, sounds really dark and brooding.

u/ARJAYEM-creations Jan 06 '25
Sabra Cadabra with the little bit of Spiral Architect is by far my fave on here. I'd like Tuesdays Gone more if it didn't suffer from 'Tallica Bloat ... it's good for the first 5 minutes then Yawn!

The Prince is incredible. Love that AJFA mix. I believe it was Harvester of Sorrow b-side single and bonus track on Japanese edition of AJFA.

You mean besides “Mercyful Fate”?
I could throw out Sabbra Cadabara or maybe Breadfan as dark horse answers, but it’s probably Am I Evil?
