I will check that out - and anything else in his list I'm not familiar with.
I have to point out that we didn't just cover Metallica - we covered Slayer too, and Anthrax, Megadeth, Sacred Reich... nothing was too hard for us to have a go at, that was our attitude!
...and then Watchtower came along...
Besides, we only did covers to pad out the set and get the audience into what we were trying to achieve while we were writing our own original material. Thrash was not a popular idiom in the mid-late 1980s in the UK, it was very much as underground as the Ozric Tentacles were.
