Metallica

Finally a Black Album pick, and this one is Big. Big arrangements, big lyrics, big length, big hit, big live staple. A James showcase here with his gravely voice giving a maturity to this performance that they didn't have back in '82. Heavy in its use of acoustic guitar, with a more standard verse chorus structure and heavy intro and outro essentially, James also wrote the guitar solo in the middle which sings and soars in the middle of the track

The video is also notable from being from their first documentary "A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica" and has playboy pinups which are censored these days. I've never watched it, but I should. The black album is often considered to be when Metallica sold out, and the increased commercialisation, demonstrated by the documentary, makes this a very interesting chapter in their history

Anyone who's seen Metallica has seen this track, and with many artists covering it, who's seen it covered instead live?
