Metallica's Rise To Fame: The 5 Songs That Got Them there...
My 5 different songs here are the songs that I believe opened Metallica up to a wider, more diverse audience. Metallica has had so many fans, from Germany to Canada, and these people probably discovered Metallica through one of these songs:
5 "Dyers Eve" - And Justice for All...
This is a intensely fast song that played to the thrash and speed metal fans. This song is so intense that Metallica has a hard time trying to play it today like they did when they first released it. This song is very seldom played life but it has been played a few times on select tours. This song, known for its powerful chords, opened up Metallica's first fans (heavy metal, speed metal fans) to Metallica's ability and level of expertise.
4 "Hero of the Day" - Load
This is one of Metallica's slower paced songs. Though it does pick up the tempo in the middle (at 2:33), it was quickly rejected, along with the whole album, by Metallica's fan-base for being too alternative rock. The Load album was their first of alternative rock experiment and many fans did not enjoy where they were going with it. However, it is true to say that many alternative rock fans loved this song and it is now known as one of Metallica's most famous songs.
3 Until it Sleeps - Load
A new voice took the reins in the Load album, the secular voice. The song Until it Sleeps was written to tackle some of the popular religious beliefs that James was struggling with. James mother had just died after refusing life-saving medication because she thought that God would save her. James comments on the illogical and showcases the popular, conflicting arguments between science and religion. This song helped to get Metallica noticed by the atheistic community and the intellectuals who found the song to be an enriching caricature on the debate they were dealing with.
2 No Leaf Clover - S & M symphony
Through the years leading up to Metallica's new S & M show with the San Fransisco Orchestra, James was jamming around, playing with a couple of riffs he hadn't found a song for. When S & M began recording, the band was rehearsing, and Metallica was accompanied by a large orchestra, James new guitar riffs found a place to live in No Leaf Clover. This song was created for the orchestra show in San Fransisco. It was instrumental in showing Metallica as not only beloved metal players, but as smart people who knew how to create exceptional songs.
1 "Master of Puppets" - Master of Puppets
This song has yet to be beaten. The song lasts for longer than eight minutes and was the main tool that made Metallica so popular. No one can argue that this song didn't completely change metal or Metallica. The middle section, with it's slow, hypnotic power, was beautiful. Unsurprisingly, this song topped the charts and gave Metallica the largest fan base of any metal group. - 18418
