==== BOOTLEG REVIEW ===============================================
Title: Garage Days 2
Format: 1CD
Info: Italian bootleg with color cover

This is an import/bootleg from Italy I think. Here's the track list:

    The Mechanix
    Killing Time
    Let It Loose
    Sucking My Love
    The Prince
    Jump In The Fire
    Whiplash
    No Remorse
    Eye Of The Beholder
    Remember Tomorrow
    2x4
    So What!
    Am I Evil?
    Helpless
    London Dungeon
    Last Caress/ Green Hell
    Rapid Fire
    'Merry Fuckin' Christmas From Metallica'
    Total Run Time:76 min.


This is a very cool boot. Some of it is hard to hear because of the 
age of the recording, but it's worth the $20 I paid. 
-The Mechanix is from the 'No Life 'Til Leather' demo

-Killing Time, Let It Loose, Sucking My Love, The Prince, and Jump In 
 The Fire were recorded in March of 1982 with Dave Mustaine on lead 
 guitar and Ron McGovney on bass. I think they were recorded in McGov-
 ney's garage. From what it says on the case Let It Loose and Sucking
 My Love are the two rarest Metallica recordings.

-Whiplash and No Remorse were recorded in March of 1983 at KUSF radio 
 in San Francisco. These recordings feature Dave mustaine and Cliff 
 Burton together. They are different from the kill 'Em All versions.

-Eye Of The Beholder is just a demo of the song recorded in 1988.

-Remember Tomorrow (originally by Iron Maiden) and 2x4 were recorded  
 at Monsters Of Rock 95.

-So What! was recorded at Wembley on October 25, 1993 and features 
 Animal of Anti-Nowhere League on vocals. This is a very cool track.

-Am I Evil? and Helpless were recorded at the N.E.C. in Birmingham on
 November 5, 1993 and features Diamond Head jamming on the tracks with
 Metallica.

-London Dungeon, Last Caress and Green Hell were recorded in Chicago
 in 1994 and features Glen Danzig on vocals.

-Rapid Fire (originally by Judas Priest) was recorded in Miami 1994 
 and features Rob Halford on vocals.

-'Merry Fuckin' Christmas From Metallica' is a 1993 promo for Live 
 Shit: Binge & Purge.' It's spoken by James

If you can find this CD pick it up, it's definetley worth it.
