I was pretty depressed at the time because our gear had just been stolen, and we had been thrown out of our manager’s house for breaking shit and drinking his liquor cabinet dry. I wrote the song at a friend’s house in New Jersey. You could hear every squeak, so I had to be careful. It was pretty much our first ballad, so we knew it would freak people out… Recording that song, I learned how frustrating acoustic guitar can be. James Hetfield (lead vocalist/guitarist in Metallica) commented on the song in a interview with Guitar World in 1991: “That song was a big step for us. The tracks tell the story of a man who wants to commit suicide. “Fade to Black” was written and produced by all members of Metallica, as well as producer Flemming Rasmussen helping with the production. Anger.“Fade to Black” is the fourth track from American heavy metal band Metallica and their 1984 album “Ride the Lightning”. A film titled Some Kind of Monster documented the recording process of St. Anger in 2003 disappointed some critics and fans with the exclusion of guitar solos, and the "steel-sounding" snare drum. Despite reaching number one on the Billboard 200, the release of St. A settlement was reached, and Napster became a pay-to-use service. In 2000, Metallica was among several artists who filed a lawsuit against Napster for sharing the band's copyright-protected material for free without the band members' consent. With the release of Load in 1996, Metallica distanced itself from earlier releases in what has been described as "an almost alternative rock approach", and the band faced accusations of "selling out". Some critics and fans believed the band changed its musical direction to appeal to the mainstream audience. The band achieved substantial commercial success with its self-titled 1991 album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community, and some critics say the 1986 release Master of Puppets is one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums. Metallica's early releases included fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship that placed them as one of the "Big Four" of the thrash metal subgenre alongside Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax. Newsted left the band in 2001 and was replaced by Robert Trujillo in 2003. Jason Newsted replaced him less than two months later.
In September 1986, Metallica's tour bus skidded out of control and flipped, which resulted in Burton being crushed under the bus and killed. These last two were later replaced from the band, in favor of Kirk Hammett and Cliff Burton, respectively. Founded when drummer Lars Ulrich posted an advertisement in a Los Angeles newspaper, Metallica's original line-up consisted of Ulrich, rhythm guitarist and vocalist James Hetfield, lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, and bassist Ron McGovney.
Metallica is an American heavy metal band that formed in 1981 in Los Angeles, California.
