Loose ‘N Lethal

No shock that Metallica covered “Let It Loose,” the lethal leadoff of Savage’s head-cracking debut. It’s exactly the sort of raw metal assault that proves their “no life until leather” thesis. The kind of thing you’d expect to hear roaring from that 2000 A.D. extra’s death tricycle as he chases down a post-apocalyptic ice cream truck. It’s the highlight, but “Cry Wolf” and “Ain’t No Fit Place” show they had more to them. Plus the whole thing sounds like it was recorded in Lemmy’s water closet.
