Diamond Head's influence on METALLICA is historic as they covered ‘Am I Evil?’, ‘The Prince’ and ‘Helpless’ from Lightning To The Nations.
Metallica performed "Am I Evil" along with the other bands in the Big 4 (SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX) at the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth on July 8th. Drummer Lars Ulrich said that there was "a pretty good chance that none of us would be here" without Brian Tatler before playing the song with Tatler on guitar.
