Back in 2003, when I was just an innocent lad, I was listening to the local hard rock station when "Mandatory Metallica" came on. This was the first song they played, and the first Metallica song I'd ever really listened to. It blew me away, and honestly changed my life. I'd never really liked contemporary music, and this opened my eyes to the good OLD stuff. I don't know if I even would have started playing musical instruments if not for this.
One is my favourite Metallica song without a shadow of a doubt, and the added symphony sounds simply amazing. This might be my favourite rendition of my favourite song ever. :D
@demolishb98 i don't think that is quite fair to say, i am a teenager and i love rock music, especially metallica, my hopeful gf listens to classical music, one of my other friends listens to country music. one more thing, just because peole like u and me hate justin beiber's music, that doesn't mean that everyone has to, everyone is intitled to their own opinions and interests
The PTSD theme song. Every soldier, Marine, Airman, and Sailor who has been in battle goes through this in their mind. God help us, and give us our sanity back.
@PenanceOmega Some life left? Hell yeah, it never died man! I bleed metal and I always will. I'm not the only one who feels like that too. Long live Metal; long live Metallica!! \m/ ((> <)) \m/
@metallicaholic1011 this song is based on the movie "Johnny got his gun". It is about a soldier in the WWI. the movie was shot in 1971!!!!! thats why they have the war soundtrack inthe beginning. if you watch the movie you'll understand the lyrics too!
Haha I thought this was a prank at first because my itunes were on and I clicked my computer off mute and Tim McGraw was playing... I was like... DAMN IT
I love this song, especially on S&M, but I have to say this just to see what kind of death threats I'll get for it; Metallica blows now and Lars Ulrich is a whiny bitch that lacks talent.
Metallica is the greatest band in history. :] period. they make the greatest music in the world =] S&M is the best concert they ever held. such great sounds. althou it would be greater if they would have played Fade to Black.
The first and only song that actually chilled me to the bone was One-by Metallica.
Odd, since I've listened to heavier shit most of my life, then I read the lyrics, and I realized that I didn't just hear all of those things James said.
best band ever James and Lars did great but my still fave in the band is Kirk Hammet cuz ima guitarist lol and i know up until the middle of the fast solo and i dont know the part right b4 darkness... like where they keep doing that weird thing over again
From what I have heard, it was Cliff Burton who wrote this song. He gave a book to James with this song in it or somethong like that. Correct me if im wrong :P
am i the only one who turns it up real loud for the "darkness" riff. lol always sounds better louder
