Metallica have cited a lot of bands without whom they wouldn't be here, but Black Sabbath are always foremost on the list. Many of these were represented on the two Garage… EPs, with Sabbath’s Sabbra Cadabra getting the covers treatment on Garage Inc. The U.S. titans – who arguably took Sabbath’s mantle as the single most influential metal band of the ’80s and beyond – have also tackled numerous Sabbs songs live, including Hole In The Sky and Iron Man when they had the honour of inducting Sabbath into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. “Bill, Geezer, Ozzy and Tony, if it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here,” Lars Ulrich said in their speech. “Obviously if there was no Black Sabbath, there would be no Metallica. If there was no Black Sabbath, hard rock and heavy metal as we know it today would look, sound and be shaped very, very differently. So if there was no Black Sabbath, I could possibly still be a morning newspaper delivery boy.”
