Back in 1982, Metallica made their recorded debut on the Metal Blade compilation, Metal Massacre with their song "Hit the Lights." The first pressing of Metal Massacre featured a version of "Hit the Lights" with guitar solos by Lloyd Grant and Dave Mustaine, with James tripling on rhythm guitar, vocals, and bass. They later re-recorded "Hit the Lights" for the second pressing of Metal Massacre featuring Dave Mustaine on lead guitar and Ron McGovney on bass.
