It is not a remake of Megadeth's "Mechanix". If you read the liner notes in Killing is my Business... (Remastered) Dave says when he was in Metallica they had both songs, and when Dave was kicked out, he claims he asked them not to use his stuff, but they were under no obligation (legal or otherwise) to do so, so they went with Four Horsemen (which is a better song lyrically speaking, in my opinion.) If you have any other questions about Metallica, I know almost everything you might think of asking about.
