The roster was then filled out by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine and bassist Ron McGovney (soon to be replaced by virtuoso Cliff Burton).In the heady days of the '80s, they forged their way from being the supporting act at tiny club gigs to opening for and headlining stadium tours, with next to no support from radio. Their third album, Master of Puppets (1986), created the band's first notable commercial success, and was and is hailed as a metal masterpiece. Unfortunately, on their subsequent tour, Burton was killed in a bus accident. Choosing to continue on in spite of their grief, the band auditioned and hired Jason Newsted, an intense young musician who became the perennial "New Guy" and the butt of 14 long years of hazing, with the bass being almost non-existent in the mix of their next album, ...And Justice For All (1988), being seen as the first major instance. It was also with this album that the band first started getting accusations of "selling out" after they put out a music video for the song "One", something fans claimed they had promised in the past they'd never do.In The '90s, the band moved away from thrash metal (according to Hammett, they realized that the general consensus was that songs were "too fucking long", though the rise of grunge and alternative rock probably also had something to do with it), first coming out with their massively successful self-titled album Metallica (aka "The Black Album") in 1991, then the rock-, country- and blues-tinged alt-rock pair Load and ReLoad, respectively released in 1996 and 1997.Metallica were then mostly quiet for a while, and when they finally set about making a new album, they had a full-on breakdown, with a fed-up Newsted leaving the group (from a combination of his continued hazing treatment, Hetfield's refusal to allow him to become a full songwriting partner, and a neck injury that needed rest), Hetfield going into rehab for alcoholism, and the entire future of the band in doubt. St. Anger, the album forged in the midst of all thisnote The band's producer Bob Rock filled the spot of bassist for the recording, was released in 2003. It's disdained by most fans, though for some it's an interesting experiment hamstrung by its intentionally unpolished production and overly introspective lyrics. Luckily for the band, new bassist Robert Trujillo both helped them mellow out and encouraged them to mix up their set-list on a nightly basis, pulling out songs they hadn't played for the better part of 20 years.The band's next album, Death Magnetic, came in 2008, and was the most in-character effort they'd had in years in the sense of it being a return to their thrash roots. However, it was a casualty of the Loudness War, and whether it's any good depends entirely on who you ask. In 2011, they collaborated with Lou Reed on Lulu, which opened to mixed-at-best reviews from critics and was panned by just about every fan that had an opinion on it, although it received the unwavering support of David Bowie, who loved it and cited it as an influence on his final album, ★.In December 2011, to tie into their 30th anniversary mega-reunion shows, they released Beyond Magnetic, an EP consisting of four songs left over from the studio sessions for Death Magnetic. On November 30, 2012, they left Warner (Bros.) Records (where they'd been since being signed to subsidiary Elektra Records in 1984), with the rights to all their studio albums, master recordings and videos, and formed a new independent label, Blackened Recordings. Its first release, a month later, was Quebec Magnetic, a live DVD culled from two performances in Quebec City in 2009.In late 2016, the band released their 10th album, Hardwired... to Self-Destruct, which marked another clear return to their '80s thrash/speed metal roots. The effectiveness of the stylistic throwback at this stage in their career became a topic of debate, but it was a commercial success regardless. The album became Metallica's sixth to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200, making them the second band in music history to have that many consecutive #1 debuts after Dave Matthews Band. Their 11th album, 72 Seasons, was released on April 14, 2023; it debuted at #1 in 20 different countries, but not America, being kept from the top of the chart only by Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time.Metallica is perhaps best known for their somewhat turbulent relationship with their fans, in part the result of their long career and their experimentation with musical styles. The fanbase tends to divide thusly: "hardcore" metalheads that stay away from anything after Justice, or after Master if they're not into prog-metal (Hetfield even mentioned in interviews that the band lost some especially vocal fans after the acoustic guitar intro on "Fade to Black" from Lightning); fans who got into the band with the Black Album and like their anthemic '90s style better; those who uncritically love everything the band releases; and some who seem to exist solely to antagonise the band and other fans.Further division among the fandom — in particular those who play guitar, bass or whatever — divide their material based on the band's line-up at any given time. Bass players tend to favour the Cliff Burton years, although Newsted has his fans as well, as does Trujillo (though even fans of Trujillo's work with other bands — mostly Ozzy or Suicidal Tendencies — split over whether his funk-influenced tone and style suit Metallica's material). Guitarists may debate whether Hammett's solos or Hetfield's riff-based rhythmic style are the true core of the band's sound. Others love to argue Hammett vs. Mustaine — still.If you really want to get an earful, round up three Metallica fans (bonus points for a token hater) and ask them if and when Metallica sold out. It was after Cliff died. It was when they slowed down the music. It was trying to follow the alternative music trend in the '90s. It was the advent of the gimmicky stuff like Garage, Inc. and S & M. It was trying too hard to get their old sound back after ReLoad. It was everything after Kill 'Em All. They never "sold out" at all, but got older and less angry and wanted to experiment in other styles, and besides, altering your artistic expression just to appease any fanbase, even your original one (thrash), is the very definition of "selling out." In short, there are likely as many possible answers as there are people who have heard of Metallica.Lars Ulrich's crusade against Napster also left a bad taste in the mouths of many, who wondered if he hadn't just shot his own band in the foot. Ulrich has never outright apologised for some of the things he said during this time (though he did mention he regretted the way he expressed some of his beliefs at the time), although the band has been much more Internet-friendly since then, playing nice with iTunes, putting up old shows online for free, and allowing recent concert-goers to download a copy of the show they attended.They also cottoned on with atypical shrewdness to the popularity of Guitar Hero and the potential that their guitar-driven songs had in the format. After licensing a few of their more popular tunes for the series, they went the whole hog by releasing their most recent album as downloadable content, and followed it up by co-developing Guitar Hero: Metallica, an entire game allowing players to perform as the band themselves. (The Metallica tracks in any given Guitar Hero or Rock Band game are generally amongst the hardest, because... Well, it's Metallica.)

“The Four Horsemen�, like most of the unsubtle lyrics in the first album, is about the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (the song even provides the page quote). It’s also a bit of Heavy Meta, likening themselves to said Horsemen, and it’s since become a nickname for the band.

The phrase “suffer unto� crops up in a few songs (notably “Harvester of Sorrow� and “My Apocalypse�), but is fundamentally meaningless. Even if it did mean something, it would likely be closer to “put up with� than “suffer from�, which kind of robs the lyrics of their impact. It’s probably best not to think about it too hard.

New Sound Album: The Black Album, Load and ReLoad, St. Anger, S & M. Inverted with Death Magnetic, an "Old Sound Album". Hardwired...to Self-Destruct provides a strange example because, unexpectedly, it combines elements of the sounds of Load and ReLoad and of ...And Justice for All alongside use of melody that perhaps eclipses that found on any previous Metallica record.

Beyond Magnetic ends with "Rebel of Babylon", the EP's only track with a duration of more than 8 minutes. Downplayed in Hardwired... to Self Destruct, where the first disc ends with the longest overall track, "Halo on Fire" (8:16). 72 Seasons ends with "Inamorata" (11:10).

Sophisticated as Hell: When introducing the song "Seek and Destroy" live (as seen in their 1989 Seattle show), James would sometimes say the title in a faux-fancy manner. The band's lyrics in general can be this; they are often quite intellectual, based on literary sources or thoughtful political protest, but contain Precision F Strikes and the like.

Vocal Evolution
 Metallica (Music) / int_2ef005ab
comment
Vocal Evolution: Along with James having more melodic singing instead of just shrieking like in the early days, he certainly sounds different due to all the screaming (he even blew his voice recording "So What") and smoking. To put this in perspective — James' voice on Kill 'Em All was extremely high, and sounded basically nothing like James Hetfield, even when compared to Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Just five years later, he had already grown into a low-register baritone, which is basically the opposite to his high tenor vocals just years earlier.

Older Than They Look: In the first few years, James was skinny, baby-faced and had quite a bit of acne, basically making him look like a really tall fifteen year-old. Kirk, basically his entire life. Since he's always got a soft speaking voice, a young-looking face and a small build, he basically looked 10 years younger than the rest of the band at any given time. Hell, he looks the same these days as he did 20 years ago, only with grey hair. Lars counts to an extent. He's basically looked the same age their entire career, with only his weight and hairstyle changing.

Insufferable Genius: Dave Mustaine in a nutshell as far as his time in Metallica was concerned. He was an exceedingly talented guitarist whose ability was acknowledged by everyone. Unfortunately, he was also a godawful mean drunk with drug issues that were serious even then and a sober personality that was apparently not that much better. Lars, though not really in regards to his drumming. Say what you will about the man personally, but it's in large part his connections, business savvy and the fact that he is the one arranging most of the songs from whatever riffs and lyrics James makes that made Metallica something more than just a garage band.

Concept Album: Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, and ...And Justice for All each have thematic elements linking their songs together (death, those whose fates are controlled by others or who control others' fates, and the miscarriage of justice, respectively). Death Magnetic is a borderline case, with Hetfield saying the general idea of the title was inspired by the untimely deaths of several friends and colleagues.

Ascended Meme: Metallica's first album was called Kill 'Em All and the cover art was a hammer in a pool of blood. Then they spotted a fan wearing a home-made shirt at one of their shows that said "Alcoholica" and had replaced the hammer with a bottle spilling booze, and titled it "Drink 'em All." They stole the idea and printed up their own shirts.

Vocal Dissonance: Watch any early interviews with James. That deep, powerful-speaking voice should not come from a zitty, skinny blond-haired kid, especially one who sung like a spotty teenager. Eventually averted progressively over the time between Justice and Load, during which, in addition to lowering his singing to match his standard voice, James aged and bulked up, growing into the voice.

Strictly Formula: A few of Metallica's albums seem to follow a specific formula when it comes to track order: A relatively slow song is placed as track four, the second-to-last track is an instrumental track with no singing, and the final track is a high-speed thrasher. Ride the Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All, and Death Magnetic all follow this formula (with the sole exception that the places of the instrumental and the high-speed thrasher are switched on Ride the Lightning).

Made Hilarious in Hindsight during the 30th Anniversary shows, when Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell performed with Metallica, and he was the one with the "Friends haircut".

Early-Installment Weirdness: The pre-Kill 'Em All demos. James is imitating Sean Harris, Dave is writing lyrics about sex, Ron is plunking along and Lars' drum kit sounds like a cutlery cupboard being opened and closed. The production quality is also often (no surprise) quite poor. Kill 'Em All counts both in the production quality grounds (the sound isn't as clear as anything from Ride the Lightning onwards), and the NWOBHM-style music, having the band's only Heavy Meta lyrics.

Fan Remake

Fan Remake: A rare music example. There exists a fan remake of St. Anger on YouTube that attempts to correct many of the complaints people had with the official release. It has vastly improved production, partially streamlined songsnote some of the more notorious parts of the album, like the bridge in "Invisible Kid", were removed altogether, while some of the extended jams were shortened to give the songs more focus, and the notorious snare of the original is ditched in favor of more standard drum tuning/mixing. On the other hand, guitar solos are still absent, and a number of Narm-tastic lines like "Fran-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tic-tok!" were kept in. Nevertheless, despite being essentially a cover album with no involvement from the band itself, a number of fans have agreed that it's probably better to just listen to this instead of the official album.

comment
Metal Scream: Metallica are gods at this, though aren't really big users of these. James basically has two kinds. The first one is the high-pitched traditional kind, which mostly disappeared as his voice matured, the second kind is a more mid-ranged yell, much easier to pull of for a guy with his voice. Jason Newsted is well beloved for his punk/thrash screams, as well as his bona-fide death growls.

Man on Fire: The very thing that resulted in James getting severe burns on the left side of his body and (indirectly) allowing Guns N' Roses to cause a riot by refusing to play for more than half an hour. They later mocked this very trope during the Load tour, where the stage setup "collapsed" during "Enter Sandman" and a member of the crew ran across the stage while on fire. They then came back out and played encores using small lights hanging from the scaffolding and mobile amps wheeled onto the stage. This was recycled for the concert portions of Through the Never.

Religion Rant Song
 Metallica (Music) / int_5df06b20
comment
Religion Rant Song: "The God That Failed" is a "Hate the Faithful" type of song. The song is about James Hetfield's mother, who was a believer in Christian Science. Once she got cancer, Hetfield's mother forwent medical treatment, instead just praying to God to heal her. However, she died from the aforesaid lack of medical treatment as the cancer spread quickly. Hetfield felt that had she not followed her Christian Science beliefs, she could have survived.

Sequel Song
 Metallica (Music) / int_6298c177
comment
Sequel Song: The so-called "Unforgiven Trilogy" consists of "The Unforgiven" from their 1991 self-titled album, "The Unforgiven II" from 1997's ReLoad, and "The Unforgiven III" from 2008's Death Magnetic. The original and "II" share a horn intro and some lyrics. "III" has neither, but it's still easy to see the connection. "Lux Æterna" from 72 Seasons can be viewed as something of a successor to "Hit the Lights" from Kill 'Em All. The song's name means "Eternal Light" in Latin, and both songs are short, punk-y affairs with a very similar structure and tempo. Also from 72 Seasons is "Sleepwalk My Life Away" to "Enter Sandman" from the self-titled, which shares much of the latter song's rhythm, melodies and lyrical themes.

Working Title: "Until It Sleeps" was "Fobd" as they found it similar to Soundgarden's "Fell on Black Days". And Demo Magnetic reveals some amusing ones ("Hi Guy", "German Soup", "Gymbag"), which apart from "UN3" for "The Unforgiven III" are all unrelated to the end result. “Atlas, Rise!� was initially “N.W.O.B.H.M. A.T.M�, which is presumably “New Wave of British Heavy Metal at This Moment�, putting its roots on display.

James' Explorer/Snakebyte model guitars, particularly the "Eet Fuk" one. Also his various other signatures like The Grynch and his Iron Cross Les Pauls. Kirk's horror movie themed guitars, and more recently the 1959 Les Paul "Greeny" previously owned by Peter Green and Gary Moore. Rob's 5-string Warwick basses. Jason, despite not having any particularly iconic basses, is noted as being one of the first big players to almost exclusively use 5-string basses, especially outside of really technical Jazz Fusion guys.

Epic Rocking: They frequently have songs over 5 minutes long, but some really fit the trope, such as "One" (7:26), "To Live Is to Die" (9:49), "The Outlaw Torn" (9:52), "...And Justice for All" (9:46), "Suicide & Redemption" (9:58), and the Mercyful Fate medley "Mercyful Fate" (11:11). Considering the 5-minute referential, Death Magnetic and ...And Justice For All (the album) are 100% made of this trope. Each has only one song below six minutes ("My Apocalypse" and "Dyers Eve" respectively), but they later wrote a new intro available for free download to "My Apocalypse", which makes it over six minutes. Not to mention every album since the self-titled one surpasses the 70 minute mark (Load clocks in at 78:59, which was the longest the manufacturing company could guarantee them without causing the CD to skip! And that's after shortening "The Outlaw Torn", whose uncut version lampshades with "Unencumbered by Manufacturing Restrictions Version"). They've written only 6 songs shorter than 4 minutes: "Motorbreath", "Holier Than Thou", "The Struggle Within", "Wasting My Hate" "Hardwired" and "Lux Æterna". The Lulu album has 3 songs over 10 minutes, with the longest being "Junior Dad", which is almost 20 minutes long! Hardwired...to Self-Destruct and St. Anger both make extensive use of this trope, as well. After the first track, not a single track on Hardwired is less than five minutes long, and all but three are longer than six, with "Halo on Fire", the longest, topping out at over eight. And of course, the album itself is seventy-seven and a half minutes long. The bonus disc isn't as consistent an employer of this trope, but the longest track, the Ronnie James Dio medley, is over nine minutes long, and several other songs top the six-minute mark. As for St. Anger, every song tops the five-minute long mark and six of them top seven ("All Within My Hands", the longest track, is nearly nine minutes long).

Instrumentals: "(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth", "The Call of Ktulu", "Orion", "To Live Is to Die", "Suicide & Redemption". The first four feature Cliff Burton prominently, even though "To Live [...]" only has a poem written by him, spoken by James Hetfield. "Suicide & Redemption", on the Guitar Hero soundtrack, actually has two versions, with solos from Hammett and Hetfield respectively. Their albums in The '90s don’t feature instrumentals, although “My Friend of Misery� on the Black Album (with its prominent bass riff by Jason) was originally intended to be one. Load and Re-Load also feature album-closers with long jam sections (“The Outlaw Torn� and “Fixxxer�, respectively), which fulfill much the same purpose.

Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett - Dave was notoriously abrasive, and his erratic, aggressive behavior got him kicked out. Kirk is soft spoken, fairly down-to-earth, and has remained in the band with no real conflict for 35+ years.

Apocalypse How: “The Four Horsemen�, like most of the unsubtle lyrics in the first album, is about the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (the song even provides the page quote). It’s also a bit of Heavy Meta, likening themselves to said Horsemen, and it’s since become a nickname for the band. “Fight Fire With Fire�, written at the height of 1980s Cold War tensions, is about how nuclear warfare will inevitably lead to the complete destruction of both sides (and everyone else). "Blackened" foresees environmental catastrophe, as well as an indifferent populace who’d rather live it up than do anything to stop the unfolding disaster that will kill even them.

Heel–Face Revolving Door

Heel–Face Revolving Door: Dave Mustaine can't seem to remember whether or not James Hetfield is his enemy. Currently, they seem to be getting along quite well, if the Big Four shows at the Sonisphere Festival are any indication. For whatever reason, though, Dave still dumps on Ron McGovney, the original bassist. The other members neglect him in favor of Cliff sometimes, too (it's honestly hard not to), but Dave went as far as referring to the Ron-era band as a three-piece with him happening to be around them and in their band, but not really important at all. Ron disputes this, saying that he learned to play bass in a short time, and without his house and sometime managerial skills, the group would never have gotten off the ground.

Continuity Nod: "The Unforgiven III" seems to be more like this than strictly the latest part of the "Unforgiven" trilogy (at least "II" still borrowed some elements from the original; "III" is a completely different composition). 17 years apart, "Fuck it all and fucking no regrets" appeared in both "Damage Inc." (1986) and St. Anger's title track (2003). Lux Æterna contains the line "full speed or nothing", referencing Motorbreath from Kill 'em All, and the song is on the whole very structurally similar to Hit the Lights from the same album.

Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: Hetfield sometimes sings with great emphasis on syllables at times. A good recorded example is "Through the Never." (that album marks the point where this became prevalent in their music, apparently enforced: Bob Rock asked James to get less wordy and said the emphasis helped shorter lyrics fit the timing)

Digital Piracy Is Evil: The Napster controversy. To the band's credit, they've been much better about embracing the Internet and new technology since then, but some downloaders are still bitter. Lars has joked that his obituary will have "Napster" in its first paragraph. Notably averted when they posted an ENTIRE ALBUM on the internet 12 days before it was fully released worldwide. They also allowed fans to stream Death Magnetic from their official web site prior to the album's release. When Hardwired...to Self-Destruct leaked early, the band responded by putting videos for every song on the album up on YouTube.

Loudness War
 Metallica (Music) / int_a6254a7a
comment
Loudness War: Death Magnetic is particularly infamous for this. And yet the Guitar Hero song pack has the unaltered master tracks that avoid this, no seriously. The general rule for Death Magnetic is to buy the album, throw it out, and burn this version instead. Beyond Magnetic, being songs left over from the sessions for DM, has a rough mix that's very loud, but is more dynamic and less clipped than the original master of DM (though still quite clipped in comparison to most other albums, even in modern times). The remaster of DM is substantially more dynamic and substantially less clipped than Beyond, though. Death Magnetic was remastered in 2015/2016 (originally released as the Mastered for iTunes version, then the 24-bit masters for those were released on Metallica's site), and it's a substantial improvement. The new score is DR7, which isn't great, but is a hell of a lot better than the original's DR3, and more importantly, it avoids the original's clipping issues (it's still slightly clipped, but compared to most modern records it's not even noticeable). This is probably how the album was intended to sound in the first place. Hardwired...to Self-Destruct comes out to DR6, which isn't great, but is certainly a hell of a lot better than Death Magnetic. Radiohead and David Bowie's 2016 albums were louder than Metallica's, for whatever that's worth.

Medley: Giving a recorded example, we have the appropriately named "Mercyful Fate" on Garage Inc. which mashes up five songs from King Diamond's old band. The album also has (from the Garage Days Re-Revisited EP) "Last Caress \ Green Hell", two unrelated Misfits songs. During the Load tour, a mash-up of older songs called "Kill / Ride Medley" was frequently used. Similarly, a medley of Justice songs was performed during the Black Album tour; a version of this can be found on Live Shit: Binge & Purge. The band recorded another medley of songs for a Ronnie James Dio tribute album, which they entitled "Ronnie Rising Medley". It's also available on the deluxe edition of Hardwired...to Self-Destruct. Though it wasn't officially called a medley, when they covered Black Sabbath's "Sabbra Cadabra", they also spliced part of "A National Acrobat" into it.

Fate Worse than Death: "One" details the life of a soldier, after he loses all his limbs, his sight, his speech, and his hearing due to a landmine. He has machines that breathe for him, and so he's unable to die. His mind functions perfectly, leaving him a prisoner in his own body. Going by the original work Johnny Got His Gun, the military honchos that kept him alive decide not to kill him and just ignore his pleas for a dignified death, which only adds insult to injury.

They also have tribute albums of their songs covered by other artists; Metallic Attack: The Ultimate Tribute by other metal artists and one by punk artists, A Punk Tribute to Metallica. There's also a quadrilogy of cover albums from the Cleopatra Records label.

Rock Me, Asmodeus!: "Jump in the Fire" is sung from the perspective of Satan. "Devil's Dance" is a less literal example of this, as the song is actually using Satan as a metaphor for rape.

comment
Isn't It Ironic?: Not a particularly bad offender, but the use of "Master of Puppets" in the film Old School is a little odd during the scene where Beanie, Mitch, and Frank are kidnapping the pledges, seeing as the song is about drug addiction. The use of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in Zombieland. Again, not a bad offender, but the song is about war between humans and other humans, not between humans and zombies.

Shout-Out
 Metallica (Music) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: A (very off-key) bit of Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills" plays at the end of the "Last Caress / "Green Hell" medley. They replied in a more jokey manner. "Prince Charming" has a lyrical reference to the Voivod album Nothingface. Jason Newsted is known as a huge Voivod fan and even became an Ascended Fanboy when he later joined the band for awhile. The title "Leper Messiah" is possibly borrowed from a line in David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". During the ending of "The Memory Remains", along with the "ladadada-dada", Marianne Faithfull also says a quote from The Misfits that certainly fits a forgotten star ("Say yes, or at least say hello"). On early pressings of Master of Puppets, they featured a parody of Content Warnings: Comedy buffs will note that this list contains six of George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words. Which one was excluded? "Tits", the one Carlin said "doesn't even belong on the list". Hardwired has the song "Murder One", named after Lemmy's amplifier, and filled with references to Motörhead to honor the recently departed frontman. Also, "Spit Out the Bone" takes its title from GBH's "Passenger on the Menu".

Rags to Riches: Metallica literally started out as a garage band formed by a bunch of teenage kids. They would go on to become the most successful heavy metal band of all time, and even 30 years after the founding of the band they can still pack arenas and every new album is guaranteed to go multi-platinum, be it Master of Puppets or St. Anger. Averted in the case of Lars Ulrich, whose father Torben Ulrich already was an established artist when the band was formed, and additionally had a successful tennis career behind him.

Lighter and Softer: A large factor behind Metallica's massive success, as the band downplayed their aggressive Thrash Metal sound in favor of more poppy and accessible material, especially the power ballads "The Unforgiven" and "Nothing Else Matters". Load and ReLoad fall under this as well, incorporating more influences from Blues Rock, Alternative Rock, and even Country Music. Played with the lyrical content, though. Despite the softer sound, they feature the band's darkest and most serious material.

Roaring Rampage of Revenge: "The Day That Never Comes" is from the intentionally interpretable perspective from someone being constantly beat down and spat on by an outside force, implied to be an organization keeping many people down, from "seeing the Sun." As the song progresses, its protagonist goes from wishing for better days to swearing a rampage against them.

Cover Version

Cover Version: Lots. They covered "Remember Tomorrow" by Iron Maiden for the Maiden Heaven tribute album. They also did a cover of "Ecstasy of Gold", one of the songs Ennio Morricone did for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and usually open their concerts with the original piece. There's also a heavier version of "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen, which they even played at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert. It was one of the earliest metal songs, and numerous metal bands have played covers as a way of tribute. Their latest is a version of Nazareth's "Please Don't Judas Me" in Helping Hands... Generally speaking, if Metallica covers a song, it's going to be awesome. Even The Wizard of Oz music. And the reverse works too: You know you made it really big when one of your favourite bands covers one of your songs.

Refuge in Audacity: The aforementioned cover of "Last Caress / Green Hell". Within the first four lines, the narrator, mentions raping someone's mother and killing their baby. Their cover of the Anti-Nowhere League's "So What?", which is based on an argument the band heard two idiots having in a bar. The song's narrators claim to have had sex with a goat, a sheep, a schoolgirl, J.S. Bach, and the Queen of England, as well as having taken every drug imaginable and going to Hastings, Brighton, and Eastbourne. note  Though that one might have some dirty undertones given said coastal cities are full of sailors.

To the Tune of...: Metallica borrowed the intro of Bleak House's "Rainbow Warrior" for "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)"; the bridge is based on "Tom Sawyer". The latter was acknowledged / lampshaded by thanking Rush in the Master of Puppets liner notes. They lifted large parts of "Children of the Damned" by Iron Maiden for "The Unforgiven II". The opening notes of "Don't Tread on Me" are from "America" from the musical West Side Story.

Nobody Loves the Bassist: Jason Newsted, treated as the new guy for 14 years, though ironically beloved both by fans and other musicians. Dave Mustaine praised the guy in multiple interviews. Ron McGovney, (original bassist, 1981-83). In Dave Mustaine's autobiography, he was not fond of McGovney at all, and neither were Lars and James allegedly. According to various sources (VH1 documentaries, books, interviews, etc.) Dave hated Ron so much he actually poured beer into his bass to the point it was unplayable, tore up his house and got his dog to get on his car to ruin the paint job. Dave only denies ordering the dog to jump on the car, not that the dog did it. At least within the band, averted with Cliff (who the fans also like) and Robert.

comment
Intercourse with You / Hormone-Addled Teenager: Mostly averted. However, "The Four Horsemen" was originally called "The Mechanix", filled with double entendres about sex in an auto mechanic shop. It was released in the original form on Megadeth's debut album, Killing is My Business... And Business is Good!. Additionally, "Jump in the Fire", a song sung from Satan's perspective, was originally about teenage sexual frustration; this version can be heard on the No Life 'Til Leather demo. Notably, this one also had its origins with Dave Mustaine. Meanwhile, the only publicly released Metallica song that is clearly about sex is "Devil's Dance," which uses the image of Satan tempting followers as a metaphor for somebody soliciting sex.

Long-Runner Line-up: As much as Jason was the new guy for 14 years, his tenure was the longest of the band without changing members, until Robert (in the band since 2003) equaled it in 2017. Cliff likely would have stayed longer were it not for his tragic death.

Word Salad Lyrics
 Metallica (Music) / int_e18675e6
comment
Word Salad Lyrics: Sometimes they are just strings of cool-sounding phrases. James admitted the lyrics' crypticness aims for "anonymous but powerful", making sure they resonate with listeners. ("I'll put two powerful words put together, and sometime I won't know what they mean, but I'll apply them to my life somehow.") The line "No Life Til Leather" (which was both the title of their 1982 demo and the first line in "Hit The Lights") has no real meaning. The band, like most metal acts of the early-80's, just liked using the word "leather" in their lyrics due to its rough/cool sound. The phrase “suffer unto� crops up in a few songs (notably “Harvester of Sorrow� and “My Apocalypse�), but is fundamentally meaningless. Even if it did mean something, it would likely be closer to “put up with� than “suffer from�, which kind of robs the lyrics of their impact. It’s probably best not to think about it too hard.

Reptiles Are Abhorrent: Played straight with "Slither," subverted with "Don't Tread on Me," as the reptile's fearsome qualities are meant to be associated with strength and honour (the title comes from the motto of the Gadsden flag, used by the Navy in the American Revolution, while the snake itself also appears on the cover of the Black Album, where the song came from).

Big Guy, Little Guy: James has been the tallest member of the band since Cliff's death in 1986 (6'1"). Lars (5'6") and Kirk (5'7") are short, and apart from Cliff (6'2"), Jason and Robert are both 5'9". Photos such as the one in our page image or the cover of Garage Days Revisited◊ try to disguise it.

Keet: Those who knew Lars Ulrich when he was a teenager describe him as being a hyperactive young man who was extremely enthusiastic about heavy metal. Brian Slagel of Metal Blade Records recalls that whenever they would go to the specialty record stores in the early 1980's to buy imported NWOBHM albums, Lars would jump out of the car before it had even stopped moving because he was so anxious to get new metal albums to listen to. After Slagel had founded Metal Blade records, he planned on putting together a compilation album called Metal Massacre featuring local heavy metal bands. When Lars found out about this he got so excited that he begged Slagel to let him record a song for the album despite the fact that Lars wasn't even in a band at the time. This motivated Lars to call up James Hetfield and Lloyd Grant (after the two realised they were short two members, and could get James to play bass) to help him record a song for the album, and that's the story of how Lars' keet-ness resulted in the birth of Metallica. Cliff had shades of this. Aside from his stage antics, about half of the pictures with him seem to have him making some goofy face, was known to carry around a hammer to go nuts with, and was generally quite an odd guy.

Once per Episode: "Are you alive? How does it feel to be alive?", usually said by James before the solo to "Battery" or "Fight Fire with Fire". After the release of Hardwired… to Self�Destruct he began asking the questions, followed by his own answer "If you want to live forever, then first you must dieee.", before playing the very fitting "Now That We're Dead".

Locked Out of the Loop
 Metallica (Music) / int_f06b07ff
comment
Locked Out of the Loop: James, during the late 1990's. During the band's post-Black Album hiatus, Lars and Kirk had developed interests (art, drugs) that he wanted no part of (him taking up hunting also kept him physically away from both during off-hours). During the Load period, they had been the primary forces behind the band's "new image." In particular, James hated the cover art by Andres Serrano, saying in a Guitar World interview that "I'm not a big fan of the man and his perversions. There's art and then there's just sick motherfuckers, and he's one of those." Additionally, he felt that the focus on the band's image was overshadowing what he felt was some of their more innovative work (as he said in the same interview "'Bleeding Me' is, I think, some of my best lyrics of all time. And what are people talking about? Lars' fuzzy jacket.") He had more in common with Jason (both were into hot rods and classic guitars, among other things), but years of hazing had effectively scorched that bridge to a crisp. As a result, being isolated from the rest of the band, he developed the "Doctor No" personality that led to Jason's departure and almost led to the band's breakup.

Survivor Guilt: It is thought that a great deal of James' angst in the post-Puppets albums stems from having survived the bus accident that took Cliff's life. In their Behind the Music special, Kirk revealed that earlier that evening, the band had gotten into a mild argument about the sleeping arrangements and had drawn cards to determine who would sleep where. Cliff drew the highest card and claimed Kirk's bunk, which, due to faulty mounting and poor reinforcement of the window, led to his being partially ejected from the bus and killed.

Bawdy Song/Auto Erotica: Notably averted when the band re-purposed Dave Mustaine's "The Mechanix", full of double entendres about sex in an auto repair shop, into "The Four Horsemen", an ode to the Apocalypse. The song is arguably better for it, but don't let any Megadeth fans hear you say that... or Mustaine, for that matter. They then played it completely straight in their word-for-word Cover Version of the most profane British punk songs ever recorded, "So What?!", even though the song is a parody about two drunken idiots attempting to outdo each other.
