Metallica (Black Album)

Now that Metallica are back to touring the world, fans should get ready for an onslaught of live videos to come from the shows.

Power ballad was a radical departure from Metallica's trademark technical thrash.

Metallica have now shared a fully pro-shot live video of their performance of "Wherever I May Roam" at Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium.

It was their only challenge left.

'It really is a moment that somehow saved and refueled our band,' says Newsted.

In an exclusive chat with Ultimate Metallica, Kirk Hammett talks about his guitar solo work on the Black Album and even shares one of his favorite solos.

As the opening track on 1991's self-titled album, Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' is one of the most well-known songs from the band's last three decades. With a memorable opening guitar riff, the song lays the foundation for what fans affectionately call 'The Black Album...

When a band has a successful album, the usual plan is to release another one with a reasonably similar sound a couple years later to capitalize on the previous record’s success and keep the momentum going. Metallica has never done it that way. They work on their own timetable, and generally piss off a portion of their fan base with every new release, but garner legions of new fans in the process.

On the heels of directing 'Enter Sandman' and 'Wherever I May Roam,' Wayne Isham stuck around to film Metallica's final music video from their 1991 self-titled album. The video for 'Sad But True,' which debuted Oct. 5, 1992, is the band's fifth clip from their eponymous album.

With the music video for 'Wherever I May Roam,' Metallica joined back up with director Wayne Isham, whom the band worked with previously for 'Enter Sandman.' After a few months of shooting in San Diego, California and throughout the Northeastern United States, the video premiered on May 21, 1992.
