Kill 'Em All Trivias

Singles:

"Jump In The Fire" was released as a UK EP in February 1984 to promote a UK tour with Venom. The EP would feature "Phantom Lord" and "Seek & Destroy" as live tracks, although they are actually studio recordings with fake crowd noise dubbed over them. It should be noted that this was solely a record company maneuver.

"Whiplash" was released as a US 12" EP, featuring the same tracks as the UK Jump In The Fire EP but also featuring a special "Neckbrace Remix" of Whiplash.

The song "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth" is a bass solo by Cliff Burton. An instrumental track, with accompaniment on drums by Lars Ulrich, it features Burton's distinctive style of playing, incorporating heavy distortion, use of the wah-wah pedal, and tapping. This is also the bass solo that Cliff was playing when James and Lars first saw him at a gig. When they first entered the club where Cliff was playing, both James and Lars thought the sound was coming from a guitar. When they saw Cliff's red hair thrashing around, and that the sound was coming from a bass, they immediately wanted Cliff in their band.

The 1988 re-issue of the album by Elektra Records added the songs "Blitzkrieg" (a cover of a song by the band of the same name) and "Am I Evil?" (the aforementioned Diamond Head song). Both of these Metallica covers were previously released as Garage Days Revisited on the b-side of the Creeping Death EP from the label Music For Nations in 1984.
