Never Neverland is a BILLION times better the Enter Sandman will ever be !!!!!

@anniafan If you look at A Year and A Half in the Life of Metallica, which you probably did, uncle Bob was sure that Sad But True was going to be the killer master song, not Enter Sandman... Although they both were a major success, Enter Sandman is still "bigger" than Sad But True. Anyway, what's my point? I don't know anymore... :p

He told this story when I was at Jeff Waters guitar clinic, and many other interesting storys. And why all this "Annihilator vs. Metallica" now..Jeff loves Metallica, and he said many good things about the band.
Annihilato's 'Never, Neverland' was released on Sept. 12 1990. Metallica's demos for 'The Black Album' were recorded... one day later - on Sept. 13. 'Enter Sandman' was among them but with NO LYRICS. In fact, the song got its lyrics as the last one firstly being intented to talk about a child dying in its crib, nightmares were the second idea, so nothing really fits timewise.

It could fit easily. When the chorus to Enter Sandman was written OFF TO NEVER, NEVERLAND, it was after the release of Annihilator's record. The titleNever,Neverland was out int he press in late Spring 1990 and when Metallica finally wrote the lyrics, they could have changed the title to their song right up until the recording was long finished.

No question that metal god JAMES HETFIELD could have easily has that title around before but it is quite possible and makes sense that, if this was their big "hit-to-be", then their label would probably not want the title to be the same as another thrash metal record, out a year earlier, that was a big seller.
