      With respect to your comment on how the lead singer, James Hetfield, bends words? Sounds like a very famous MC we all know and love, Eminem. 😃 He plays with bending words too..

    First time I can remember hearing this song and seeing this video was at around 7 years old. It was on a recorded VHS tape with a bunch of other music videos that my dad made. The video freaked me out as a kid. Then later when I grew up and I actually listened to the song I realized how beautiful and powerful it was and have loved it ever since.

    the essence of Metallica is their first album "kill em all" their best album unquestionably. It's the album I listened to almost 40 years ago and it's the one I've listened to the most in my life. Today I discovered a band "Lovebites" heavy, power, thrash, metal. An all-female band from the Japanese scene. And I must say that some of their titles have the color, Metallica. A band that deserves special attention for those who are open-minded. Search on you tube and listen to "break the wall", "The hammer of wrath", "Set the world on fire" (a killer), "thunder vengeance" (live) the opening of the concert.

    What you said about 'crossing over' into exploring not only new sound, but a new way of vocalizing words and even the words that people choose to say is true for me too but reversed. Been a metalhead for as long as I've been listening to music and have been making efforts over the last year to dive into hip hop, and what you said there perfectly explains my feelings 👍

    Hey bro, it’s cool as hell you pay attention to all the aspects of rock- I just don’t understand why us metal heads, in your age group, knew hip hop and rap, because they it was hard and real. We loved the beastie boys, NWA, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill .
    We Had no issues going from SLAYER Angel of Death to F...the police by NWA - we also listened to tribe called quest, 24/7 spy’s , living color and Michael Jackson.
    Why did the Black community ignore all great Music but instead only stayed in one lane.

      I think it’s like a cultural pressure. I’m white and my other white friends would make fun of me cause I’d listen to nwa and nas... they’d be like dude you’re not black. Or you’re not gangster. I think it’s probably even worse for them transitioning to rock music because it’s such a drastic difference in sound and people interpret rock and metal to be only white people music. I don’t know why! Brothers gave us rock!

    I’ve been finding out that I’ve lived rather naively. To me, music has always been music and I never attached it to a race. To me, you like what you like or even sometimes you just like what you’re familiar with. Music plays such a huge role in my life. Sometimes it is what I cling to, in order to not crumble. I feel music. I experience music and I’ve not ever thought that some music isn’t mine to listen to. That being said, i DO gravitate towards rock and metal and Classical. Not much in the way of r&b or hip hop. I have been opening my eyes to rap lately and am enjoying my journey. Interesting perspective Van.

    I suggest Nothing Else Matters, the Memory Remains, the Unforgiven 2, Wherever I May Roam
