The song Dirty Window by Metallica was written by James Hetfield after being in rehab and staring at a window for extended amounts of time.


The song Mechanix by Megadeth was originally writen by Dave Mustaine, however Mustaine was kicked out of the band before Kill em all was released. The song Mechanix was on Megadeth's debut album, Killing is my business... and business is good! However on Kill em All, the lyrics and song title were changed by Lars Ulrich, and is about the Four Horsemen about the Apocalypse.
