Yeah, "Mechanix" is essentially a sped-up 'Four Horsemen" without the melodic break in the middle that was added by Metallica, with an added intro. Also, according to Mustaine, Kirk Hammett used a bunch of his guitar solos for "Kill 'Em All". Listening to the "No Life 'Till Leather" demo, his story checks out, as all the solos are more or less identical (to the best of my memory.) I don't have the real demo, obviously, but I have heard all the songs via the glory of YouTube. I also find James' vocals on that album pretty funny, as he was going for a Diamond Head-esque vocal approach, but it just sounded like his balls had been stepped on. Haha.
And I doubt Mustaine's pride would let him appear in Guitar Hero: Metallica, however awesome that would be.
And while we're on the subject:

wow you didnt bold social song

I'm not that into Social Distortion, plus I haven't heard the song in question. I don't dislike them, I just never really checked them out. I'm also not that big of a "Tuesday's Gone' fan, I mean, it's obvious why they picked it, but I would have preferred "That Smell" or "Saturday Night Special", or even "Swamp Music." Also, could we have gotten a different Lizzy song? I'd kill to play the live versions of "Jailbreak" or "Emerald."

Also, could we have gotten a different Lizzy song? I'd kill to play the live versions of "Jailbreak" or "Emerald." It's a good song.not that hard.My thing is social never covered metallica nor did they cover them. I would have loved jail break too. They should have had angel of death.They cleared it and charted it but didnt put it in. I would have loved ride the lighting and from the video on GHWT i thought it would have it

I also don't get the Social connection. If they were going with punk they should have put in Misfits and Discharge, as Metallica were/are huge fans (and Discharge being pretty metal for a punk band). Hell, in '85, supposedly the Misfits were all Cliff would listen to, he'd drive the rest of the band crazy.
The thing (that should not be) is, with "Angel of Death", parents would definitely bitched. "War Ensemble", while fairly dark, is roughly on the same level as "Disposable Heroes." "Angel of Death", on the other hand, has pretty graphic descriptions of concentration camp atrocities, which is definitely a touchy enough subject for any game maker to think twice about including it. Though I don't understand why they take out "Angel of Death" and leave in the Mercyful Fate medley. I mean, I likes me some Mercyful Fate, but there are some pretty Satanic lyrics in their material. Hell, even "Am I Evil?" is about a witch being burned and the son taking revenge. Those bands probably aren't big enough to stir up a fuss, though.
And Ride the Lightning was downloadable content on Rock Band, "Trapped Under Ice" was on GHWT. And it was glorious. I always have a little inner struggle when playing Cliff-era Metallica songs on GH, because on one hand, I want to solo, but on the other, as I've stated ad nauseum, Cliff was the man and the reason I play bass. I usually go with the solos. I can just play Cliff's stuff on bass, but I'll be damned if I can solo like Kirk/Mustaine. I'll stick to rhythm guitar.
What I want to know is: Will we finally be able to hear the bass on the Justice tracks?

I know it was dlc but they could have it in.I know bought Am I evil (one of the few diamond head fans)My great grand parents were killed in aszwtich (lol forgot how to spell it).It was more bought the doctor.

I am sorry to hear about your great-grandparents. I feel I should elaborate upon my post: "Angel of Death" was written about atrocities committed in concentration camps by Josef Mengele, who did so many evil deeds he was nicknamed "The Angel of Death", hence the song.
