This was one of the songs that got me in to Metallica. Like most folks I had no idea who the heck Diamond Head was, and no idea that Metallica had been doing Diamond Head covers for years. They didn't make it a secret that these were covers, but they didn't shout it from the rooftop either. On their "Garage Days" E.P. Metallica do their best Diamond Head impression and it's quite good. Give this a listen and you can hear the roots of what became known as "Speed Metal" and later "Thrash Metal". Here are the originators doing AM I EVIL. Which version do you prefer? Metallica or Diamond Head? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Milking it for money in order to make new album? Lack of new materials to release? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

If this is to make money to record a new album... good news! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Metallica also inform their fans, during live shows, that this is Diamond Head's song, and also how much respect they have for them. We need to check with which company was the "new" version of Am I evil was released with. If it's a new label, then maybe they are trying to solve their conflict of money distribution they have in their band. If it's the same label as the old version of the song then it's probably money milking which I hope it will be used for the recording of new material.

So they are re releasing re mastered versions of some old tracks to commemorate the anniversary, I think. I gotta say the new version sounds way better than the original.
