Punk Goes Metal was the first compilation album to be released as part of the Punk Goes... series created by Fearless Records. It features covers of heavy metal songs by punk rock bands and was released on August 1, 2000.
The Aquabats' contribution, "Why Rock?", is actually an original composition, credited to fictional band "Leather Pyrate". To date, this remains the only non-cover to appear on a Punk Goes... covers compilation, excluding the Punk Goes Acoustic albums.

Famous quotes containing the words punk and/or metal:
“When theres no future
How can there be sin
Were the flowers in the dustbin
Were the poison in your human machine
Were the future
Your future
God Save the Queen”
—The Sex Pistols, British punk band (1976-1979)
“And, indeed, is there not something holy about a great kitchen?... The scoured gleam of row upon row of metal vessels dangling from hooks or reposing on their shelves till needed with the air of so many chalices waiting for the celebration of the sacrament of food. And the range like an altar, yes, before which my mother bowed in perpetual homage, a fringe of sweat upon her upper lip and the fire glowing in her cheeks.”
—Angela Carter (19401992)
