The Earth's Greatest Album Covers... Ever !!! "Metallica - Metal Up Your Ass"

"I must be hungry. 'Cause I go crazy. Over your leather boots
Now baby, I know that's not normal. But I love you."
It's difficult to understand why Elektra rejected this original design and title for Metallica's first album, featuring a large knife, protruding from a toilet bowl. I mean, what better way to invoke the essence of kick-ass, old-school thrash metal than the idea of someone getting stabbed in the rectum? They ultimately opted for the less offensive title "Kill 'Em All," and the now famous picture of a bloody hammer. Pussies!
