"Last Caress/Green Hell" is Metallica's 1987 cover version of the Misfits songs "Last Caress" and "Green Hell", released on Metallica's The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited E.P. Near the end of the song, the intro for Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills can be heard, deliberately out of key. The song also appears in the album Garage Inc. The song is also in an album by Metallica called Acoustica that is live in their studio.
