My knowledge of Metallica really only goes up
to the black album. I, only heard this
song on the radio, and never bought it.
Metallica had taken a different direction, and while I think this song
is pretty cool, it is not good enough to spend money on. Hero of the Day came out when I was at college, as a part of a sellout Metallica album. I have
theorized that someone gave Metallica a huge sum of money in some back room so
that they would make a pop album, and that would make room for the younger
bands to break through the thick crust of music that is already out there. Thus, by putting out a sellout album,
Metallica, made an album that would let other bands that were just as good get
a piece of the corporate pie. Basically, what I am saying is that when the big metal bands sold out, it made room for bands like, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, Godsmack, nu metal, Dimmu Borgir, and Iced Earth to succeed in America.
