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 amazingly 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
One of Metallica's first slower paced songs. Though it picks up tempo in the middle, it was rejected at first by Metallica's fan-base for being too slow and rockish. The Load album was the first of Metallicas alternative rock experiment and many fans did not approve. However, many alternative rock fans found this song to be very good 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
Through the years leading up to Metallica's S & M performance with the San Fransisco Orchestra, James was fooling around, playing with a few new riffs he hadn't fit into a song yet. When the album S & M began recording and Metallica was accompanied by an entire orchestra, James new guitar riffs found a home in No Leaf Clover. This song was created for the orchestra album and show. It helped to showcase the members of Metallica as not only metal headbangers, but as intelligent performers who knew how to create exceptional songs.
1 " Master of Puppets " - Master of Puppets
A truly amazing masterpiece of metal banging performance. This 8 minute song is one of the most popular in the bands history and helped bring Metallica to fame when it was released. Who couldn't love the powerful riff, the clever lyrics, or the interesting middle section. The song topped charts and brought Metallica out in the open for the world to see.
