BraveWords spoke to Jake in 2019 about METALLICA opening up for Ozzy in 1986. Try this dialog:
In 1986, Ozzy Osbourne made the daring transfer of taking a thrash band on the street. It was Metallica’s Injury, Inc. Tour that opened up exhibits from March to August in assist of their landmark album, Grasp Of Puppets. Jake E. Lee instructed BraveWords that Sharon was adamant that they didn’t stroll out on stage trying just like the “punters”.
Lee explains: “After Final Sin got here out, Lars (Ulrich) got here as much as me and he stated, ‘Thanks and congratulations – ‘Final Sin’ is the heaviest tune that Ozzy’s ever achieved, I adore it.’ Shit, this was coming from Metallica? So yeah, it was nonetheless heavy, it was nonetheless darkish.”
BraveWords: What did you suppose once you heard this band Metallica was opening for Ozzy and also you realized, ‘Man, these guys are bloody quick!’”
Lee: “No, I knew who Metallica was. However they have been completely different. I actually preferred it. Particularly with Cliff (Burton) – nothing in opposition to any of the bass gamers – however there was magic. I’m glad I bought to see all of them these instances wth Cliff. They have been heavy as shit. They have been offended, there was nothing polished or fairly about them. I assumed that was superior. Particularly that Final Sin tour. That’s the place we needed to costume a sure method, you already know? Ozzy had that gold glitter big-shouldered factor going and he had a man that made garments for everyone. You couldn’t costume your self in case you have been in Ozzy. Not again then. So that you needed to go to the clothes designer and say what you wished and I bear in mind seeing Ozzy’s outfit, seeing the bass gamers’, and I used to be like, ‘Rattling, if I’ve to put on this shit are you able to please simply mute it down?’ I imply, most of my shit is black and white, there’s no glitter. And I nonetheless felt uncomfortable. And I bear in mind considered one of Sharon’s issues was ‘You’ll be able to’t costume just like the punters. You’ll be able to’t be on stage and appear like you is also within the entrance row.’ Once I joined, she instructed me that. I remembered that, however I didn’t suppose we needed to go that far. And I like that Metallica went out in denims and t-shirt’s and simply fucking tore it up. I assumed that was superior. It had a punk perspective to it.”
