They do it by altering the speed on the tape reels I believe to do this technique.

I think Motown was known for doing this very thing quite a bit in the Detroit years.

Would be funny if James played it live with a capo on the first fret

There's a lyric in Fight Fire With Fire: "Armageddon's here, like said in the past". I had always wondered if this was a reference to the song Blitzkrieg, which was on Kill 'Em All: "The day is coming, Armageddon's near". I just looked it up though and Blitzkrieg was actually just a bonus track on the 1988 reissue of Kill 'Em All. That would've been cool though.

Metallica's Blitzkrieg cover was originally a B-side from 1984, and apparently they played it live as far back as 1982 so it's still plausible.

“Fight Fire” is hard to play and sing at the same time , you run out of breath by the first couplet
