'''''Garage Inc.''''' is a [[compilation album]] of [[cover version|cover songs]] by American [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] band [[Metallica]]. It was released on November 24, 1998, through [[Elektra Records]]. It includes cover songs, B-side covers, and ''[[The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited]]'', which had gone out of print since its original release in 1987. The title is a combination of ''Garage Days Revisited'' and Metallica's song "Damage, Inc.", from ''[[Master of Puppets]]''. The album's graphical cover draws heavily from the 1987 EP. The album features songs by artists that have influenced Metallica, including many bands from [[new wave of British heavy metal]], [[hardcore punk]] bands and popular songs.

==Production==
The day after Metallica finished the North American leg of the [[Poor Re-Touring Me Tour]] in San Diego's [[Sleep Train Amphitheatre (Chula Vista, California)|Coors Amphitheatre]], they hit the studio to start recording a new album of cover versions.<ref>{{Cite book |last=McIver |first=Joel |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mBlbAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT334 |title=Justice for All: The Truth about Metallica |date=2014-06-16 |publisher=Omnibus Press |isbn=978-1-78323-123-2 |language=en}}</ref> As [[Lars Ulrich]] explained, the band wanted to do something different after "three pretty serious albums in a row, starting with [[Metallica (album)|the Black album]] and then ''[[Load (album)|Load]]'' and ''[[Reload (Metallica album)|ReLoad]]''", and the process would be easier by working with covers, especially as the band had a tradition of taking other people's songs  and  "[turning] them into something very Metallica, different from what the original artist did".<ref name=bill/> Given that the band had recorded many covers that were spread across various releases, such as B-sides of their singles and the 1987 EP ''[[The $5.98 E.P. - Garage Days Re-Revisited]]'', the band would "put them all in a nice little packaging for easy listening" along with the newly recorded cover versions, chosen through a group decision.<ref name=bill>{{cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_HwoEAAAAMBAJ|page=[https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_HwoEAAAAMBAJ/page/n100 101]|title=Billboard|date=November 14, 1998|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc.|access-date=January 24, 2018|via=Internet Archive}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/450081/metallica-compile-rarities-b-sides-for-release/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170812061927/http://www.mtv.com/news/450081/metallica-compile-rarities-b-sides-for-release/|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 12, 2017|title=Metallica Compile Rarities, B-Sides For Release|website=[[MTV]]|access-date=January 24, 2018}}</ref> Only one of the eleven songs in the "New Recordings '98" disk was not done in the three-week sessions, a version of [[Lynyrd Skynyrd]]'s  "[[Tuesday's Gone]]" the band recorded for a radio broadcast along with friends such as [[Les Claypool]], [[John Popper]] and [[Gary Rossington]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/510104/just-some-cover-band/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170709053146/http://www.mtv.com/news/510104/just-some-cover-band/|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 9, 2017|title=Just Some Cover Band ...|website=[[MTV]]|access-date=January 24, 2018}}</ref>

==Garage Barrage Tour==
Metallica played five shows in November 1998 to support the album's release. Embracing the cover song concept, the band's setlist consisted entirely of cover songs from throughout their career.  Metallica's own music was presented by the opening band, Battery, a Metallica [[tribute band]].

==Packaging==
The cover for ''Garage Inc.'' had an [[Anton Corbijn]] photograph of Metallica dressed as mechanics. The band wanted the booklet to hold a detailed account of the contents of the project, and designer Andy Airfix was allowed to search through Ulrich's catalogue of Metallica memorabilia in San Francisco to create a 32-page booklet. Airfix also did the back cover, where the front of ''Garage Days Re-Revisited'' was modified with headshots of Metallica in 1998 and the track list written on [[tracing paper]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://andieairfix.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/42-metallica-part-three-graphic-design-as-an-extreme-sport/|title=42.

* "Last Caress/Green Hell" contains a parody of [[Iron Maiden]]'s song "[[Run to the Hills]]" at the outro; Iron Maiden responded to this on a B-side cover of the [[Montrose (band)|Montrose]] song titled "Space Station No. 5". The original CD edition has a mastering error in "Green Hell" at 2:01 where the left channel glitches and is out of sync with the right channel for a second. This error does not exist on the original EP release, nor the remastered EP edition. 
* "Am I Evil?" and "Blitzkrieg" were originally released in November 1984 as B-sides contained on the "Creeping Death" single. They were later included as bonus tracks on the 1988 Elektra re-issue of Metallica's debut album ''[[Kill 'Em All]]''; subsequent re-issues of ''Kill 'Em All'' did not contain the two bonus tracks. 
* "Breadfan" and "The Prince" were originally released by Metallica in September 1988 as B-sides to the "[[Harvester of Sorrow]]" single. "Breadfan" was also included on the "[[Eye of the Beholder (song)|Eye of the Beholder]]" single. "The Prince" was also the B-side to the "[[One (Metallica song)|One]]" single, as well as the bonus track on the Japanese pressing of ''[[...And Justice for All (album)|…And Justice For All]]''.
* "Stone Cold Crazy" was originally released by Metallica in September 1990 on the [[Rubáiyát: Elektra's 40th Anniversary]] compilation album, and was later included on the "[[Enter Sandman]]" single.
* "So What" and "Killing Time" were originally released by Metallica in November 1991 as B-sides to "The Unforgiven" single. "So What" was also on the "[[Sad but True]]" single, as well as the bonus track on the Japanese pressing of ''[[Metallica (album)|Metallica]]''.
*"Motörheadache" was recorded live at [[The plant studios|The Plant Studios]] in December, 1995
