When Metallica Detailed Road Triumphs on ‘Wherever I May Roam’

By the time Metallica released their eponymous 1991 album, colloquially known as the Black Album , they had logged enough touring miles to employ one of the most time-honored classic rock conventions: the road song, which came in the form of the pummeling single "Wherever I May Roam."

Road songs aren't just written; they're earned through years of grueling interstate drives, faceless hotel rooms, grungy dive bars and empty shows in Podunk towns. These efforts eventually pay off for the artists that stick it out, and road songs often mark the transition from scrappy up-and-comer to world-conquering star. Bob Seger 's road song came in 1972 with " Turn the Page ," which Metallica would later cover on  Garage Inc . Their heroes in Motorhead included "(We Are) The Roadcrew" on their landmark  Ace of Spades . Perhaps most famously, Bon Jovi detailed the agonies and ecstasies of the road in pristine, self-mythologizing detail on the  Slippery When Wet   smash "Wanted Dead or Alive."

While Metallica could not have been more ideologically opposed to Bon Jovi at the dawn of the '90s, they strove to write similarly explosive, larger-than-life rock anthems on the Black Album after pushing their brand of technical thrash to its limit on the knotty  ... And Justice for All   and its accompanying   13-month Damaged Justice Tour. The Bay Area quartet enlisted producer Bob Rock , who engineered Bon Jovi's  Slippery When Wet  and  New Jersey and produced Motley Crue 's chart-topping  Dr. Feelgood , and set out on the path to writing the bestselling metal album of all time.

Among the Black Album's embarrassment of stadium-metal riches ("Enter Sandman," "Sad But True," "Nothing Else Matters," et al.), "Wherever I May Roam" stands out for its disarmingly personal lyrics. "One person started complaining about his personal life, and then another person said, 'Well, I'm having problems, too,'" guitarist Kirk Hammett recalled in 1992. "And then a third person said, 'Well, goddamn it, I am, too!' It wasn't something that was influenced by each other at all. And when we were having these problems with our personal lives it made us realize how much of a foundation the band is for us."

Indeed, James Hetfield 's lyrics emphasize the fierce kinship the members of Metallica had forged with each other and their fans over nearly a decade on the road. " And the road becomes my bride ... and the Earth becomes my throne ," Hetfield growls over cavernous drums and ringing guitar chords at the beginning of each verse. As the band picks up momentum and revs into the chorus, Hetfield opens up and roars, " And I'll redefine anywhere / Anywhere I roam / Where I lay my head is home, yeah! "

Metallica incorporate numerous Eastern-sounding elements into "Wherever I May Roam," as heard on Hammett's electric sitar intro and Phrygian dominant riffing and soloing. The guitarist offsets these meticulous compositions with an off-the-cuff outro solo that fades out with the rest of the track.

"It's totally improvised and spontaneous," Hammett said  of the solo years later. "We only did like four or five passes, and what you hear on the record is basically just me improvising. And that was one of my greatest days at the office."

Rock knew Metallica had struck gold with "Wherever I May Roam" as well. "Realistically, the guys in Metallica can shit out riffs all day, and half of them will be incredible," he told MusicRadar . "When you hang out with them, though, you start to hear the difference between a great riff and a 'Smoke on the Water'-type riff. Metallica had several on this album, and I'd say this one is pretty high up there."

If anybody could tell the difference between a great Metallica riff and a timeless Metallica riff, it was Rock. "It wasn’t a fun, easy record to make," he confessed. "Sure, we had some laughs, but things were difficult. I told the guys when we were done that I’d never work with them again. They felt the same way about me." Of course, otherworldly success to the tune of 16 million U.S. sales has a funny way of making people go back on their word, and Rock went on to produce four successive Metallica albums after the Black Album.

Metallica released "Wherever I May Roam" as the fourth Black Album single on Oct. 19, 1992. By that point, they were approaching the end of the grueling, 224-show Wherever We May Roam Tour, and the song's music video appropriately features the band members rolling down the highway in a tour bus, sound-checking and walking through the bowels of empty arenas, which would be filled to the rafters with tens of thousands of screaming fans just a few hours later.

"Wherever I May Roam" peaked at a modest No. 82 on the Billboard   Hot 100 and No. 25 on the Album Rock Tracks chart, but it remains a concert staple and one of the band's most beloved songs. For Hetfield, it also crystalized everything Metallica set out to — and did — achieve with the Black Album.

"I would say when I think of the Black Album, I think of 'Wherever I May Roam' and 'The Unforgiven,'" he told  Guitar World . "Those two songs, they kind of tell the story of the times for us, I think. Especially 'The Unforgiven,' which was very vulnerable and very revealing for me. And then 'Wherever I May Roam,' that kind of encapsulated our quest for muscle, our quest for epic-ness and our quest for a solid mid-tempo song that would really get the crowd jumping. So those are the two that really get me.”

“No repeat weekend.” 

That’s how Metallica has branded the setlists for its upcoming M72 stadium tour, celebrating both the band’s new album 72 Seasons (out April 14) and 40 years of thrash-metal dominance.  

Each city stop on the new roadshow — Metallica’s first full trek in four years —  includes two nights promising completely different sets, encouraging Metallica lifers to attend both gigs for a deep dive into the band’s maniacal catalog. 

As the tour kicks off in Amsterdam April 27, we’ve been fantasizing about what a given night will look like — and which songs will make the cut during which show. Surely, as James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo exit a city, there will be a consensus among fans as to which night offered the better gig. 

Of course, it’s a matter of opinion. The most devout diehards would be happy with a set more focused on deep cuts and credence given to ‘83’s seminal Kill ‘Em All debut, celebrating its 40th anniversary this summer, while the multi-generational Metallica families would be down to hear more off 2016’s explosive Hardwired … To Self-Destruct. And of course, there’s the contrarian who actually wants to hear stuff off St. Anger . 

With all of this, here’s our dream setlist for the tour; a best-case-scenario M72 set, taking into consideration the band’s past tours — and leaving enough meat on the bone for night two. The setlist below would clock in around two hours, in step with their massive Hardwired tour that ran from 2017 to 2019. 

Let’s rage!

“Fight Fire With Fire”

In this dream, Metallica saves more of the 21st Century stuff for night two and instead buckles down on the fan-beloved oldies, a commitment made apparent immediately. As the stadium fades to black (get it), an acoustic, almost baroque guitar melody begins to blare from the PA. The band takes the stage, Ulrich leads them in with some big, extended cymbal fill and boom — Hammett’s first godkiller riff gets the place moving. 

“Trapped Under Ice”

The band does not pause, does not welcome the crowd, not yet. Instead they remain in 1984 with another Ride the Lightning shredder, thrilling elder fans who attribute their hearing loss to seeing the band about 10 too many times. Some wild winter scene plays out on the Jumbotron, with an abominable snowman emerging from a frozen lake. He inexplicably breathes blue flame; no one bats an eye. 

“Disposable Heroes” 

We’ll give “Welcome Home (Sanitarium)” and “Orion” to night two and here harness the maximum octane of “Disposable Heroes,” the night’s first offering from Master of Puppets, with its forever-relevant barkings of the horrors and futility of war. “Back to the front!” the crowd roars. It’s largely been Hammett’s show so far as the solo on “Heroes” is pure guitar triumph, noodling its way to hell as a warzone rages on the big screen. 

“Wherever I May Roam”  

Okay, back to the Black Album fan favorites and another titanic sing-along, as fans get the heartiest Hetfield “ yeah-yeah ”s of the night so far. It’s also a relative break for the band; less demanding parts, steadying them for what’s to come. 

“For Whom the Bell Tolls”

The stadium goes dark again, momentarily, as the band catches its breath amid the cheers of 60,000 fans. Then the monster video screen illuminates once more. It depicts an unholy black church built into a mountainside. The camera zooms in to focus on the belltower. The bell begins to ring. The crowd shrieks as Trujillo begins the famous bass melody, passed from the late Cliff Burton to Jason Newsted to him. Trujillo does his funny crabwalk thing as Hetfield hammers the mammoth vocal. If this rendition of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is anything like the beast brought to stadiums on the Hardwired Tour, the crowd bellowing “Take a look to the sky just before you die/ It’s the last time you will! ” will be enough to send fissures through the parking lot asphalt. An unlucky Kia Optima tumbles into the abyss. 

“Lux Æterna” 

Hetfield talks to the crowd for the first time and plugs the new album 72 Seasons, asking how many in the audience have bought the new album. Everyone screams in affirmation and they are indeed telling the truth — metal fans still buy records! And so the band launches into the only new track on the night, the searing and fun lead single “Lux Æterna” — which unloads its stadium-ready chorus as people sing along, without a clue of what “Lux Æterna” actually means. A few dudes who drank their Bud Light tallboys a little too fast run to the bathroom. 

“Atlas, Rise!”

The best song off their preceding LP Hardwired … To Self-Destruct (and a 2018 Grammy nominee for best rock song) comes hurtling through next, with a riff and drum crash that beats the crowd into submission. Meanwhile, a 50-foot tall Atlas — Greek mythology’s eternal shoulderer of the heavens — inflates behind the band, holding a globe large enough to be rented as an AirBnb. Yes, Atlas literally rises! Fans gawk as the song’s hard-rock-and-blues chug soldiers on. 

“Creeping Death” 

For the next 80 minutes or so, nothing released in the last 25 years is referenced. Everything is for the graying diehards, beginning with the mammoth march of “Creeping Death.” The call-and-response “die!” chants force a helicopter flying overhead to be diverted. Fans don’t yet know this is the last Ride the Lightning track of the night — “Fade to Black,” the title track and “The Call of Ktulu” are saved for night two — but that’s cool, there’s much hell-raising still to be had. So let it be written!

“Harvester of Sorrow” 

As far as … And Justice For All goes, we’re also fine giving “One” and “Blackened” to the inferior second night, and providing an underappreciated track for the real fans in “Harvester of Sorrow,” for which the bass is turned up so loudly it nearly cracks a few fans’ sternums in the front rows. The relatively simpler riff allows for steady headbanging. A few more casual fans make one last run to the beer stand to find out it’s about to close — the true harvesters of sorrow!

“The Unforgiven” 

An acoustic guitar is brought out. Everyone takes a breath. No one is willing to admit they’re thrilled to sit a spell as the Black Album power ballad kicks in. Hammett still annihilates the solos, of course. 

Hetfield schmoozes with the crowd a little, asking whoever’s drunk to throw up their devil horns. Heavy metal, man! The frontman then begins to note how the band’s seminal debut album Kill ‘Em All turns 40 in July, and to celebrate, they are going to play a mini-set. The next 15 minutes are pure speedfreak bedlam, beginning with the aptly named “Whiplash,” backed by the band’s oldest photos plastered on the big screen, surrounded by bloody hammer iconography. They were just kids! 

“The Four Horsemen” 

Onward with the galloping riffs! Around the stadium, the know-it-all friend of every group is sure to point out how Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine co-wrote the song before he was fired. Luckily no one can hear them over the solos, which signal intelligent life in nearby galaxies. Everyone is thrilled, as “Four Horsemen” has been only scantily performed over the last decade.

“Seek and Destroy”

The band ties a pretty, pulverizing bow on Kill ‘Em All with the album’s most enduring, well-known track — it feels like home for fans who’ve been with them since their mighty Megaforce Records beginnings, sleeping on floors in New Jersey. Everyone sings the repetitive hook and cheers once the big Judas Priest-y solo begins to unfurl. 

“King Nothing” (with Phil Anselmo) 

As the mini-set concludes, a jewel-studded crown appears on the screen, rotating gloriously as it descends onto the skull of a festering zombie — night two can have “Fuel,” we’ll take this killer third single from Load, with its incendiary hard-rock chorus. To boost the track, the band welcomes fellow metal god Phil Anselmo (Pantera is opening the tour) to the stage, for some extra fury. The song gives way to an extended outro with a snippet of “Walk” as the stadium’s foundation quakes. 

The band turns “Battery,” usually used as a set or encore opener, on its hurtling head, closing the main set with a final burst of pandemonium. The acoustic riff hypes the crowd and then Hetfield, under a spotlight, unleashes that famed, punishing riff. Hammett delivers the knockout blow with one of the best solos in his pantheon and band trots off. No fans dare leave, knowing what’s still to come.

ENCORE : “Master of Puppets” 

After a few moments and requisite “Metal-lica!” chants, the foursome re-emerges. Hetfield has swapped his sweat-soaked black t-shirt for an identical (albeit dry) black t-shirt. And then it hits: Dun … dun-dun-dun! The stadium erupts once more, let’s go! The cosmic “Master! MASTER!” sing-along tears a chasm into the fabric of time and space, shifting dimensions and laws of physics. Puddles of Michelob Ultra form floating helixes throughout the concourse, frightening concession workers. The Kia Optima rises from the Earth’s molten core to its rightful parking space. 

“Nothing Else Matters”

The stadium returns to this plane as Hammett strums those open strings, summoning the night’s final power ballad. Fans know the night is slowly coming to an end, but no one wants to believe it as they wail the iconic chorus: “Never cared for what they do! Never cared for what they know-ow-owwww!” 

“Enter Sandman” 

Hetfield shouts that they’ve got one more, and promises to “see you for night two!” before unloading metal’s most recognizable riff. It’s a party, a finale, a storm of thunder and bursting flames from the pyro cannons. In this moment, no one is sick of “Sandman” anymore, happily barking “exit light, enter night!” Though once Hetfield reaches the spoken prayer part, all the dads begin to file out, hoping to beat the traffic. But then they miss the extended outro, with pieces from “Frayed Ends of Sanity,” borrowing from the Hardwired Tour. 

It’s an unforgettable night of metal prowess, and a culmination of one of rock’s bar-none most untouchable acts of the last half-century. But who knows — maybe the real tour will be even better than this fan-fiction fever dream. We’ll be counting the days!

METALLICA Shares Pro-Shot Video Of 'Wherever I May Roam' Performance From Detroit During 'M72' Tour

Professionally filmed video of METALLICA performing the song "Wherever I May Roam" on November 12 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan can be seen below.

Prior to this month's concerts, METALLICA last played in Detroit in 2017 at Comerica Park.

The "M72" tour features a bold new in-the-round stage design that relocates the famed METALLICA Snake Pit to center stage, allowing promoters to sell more tickets than usual. And since METALLICA 's stage is hollow in the center, there is even more space available to accommodate fans.

According to Billboard , METALLICA 's giant ring-shaped stage also includes eight towers of monitors and speakers, with each of the towers is anchored by a raised platform that doubles as VIP seating, with eight folding chairs decorated with the black-and-yellow color scheme of the band's new album, "72 Seasons" .

This past August, METALLICA drew nearly 80,000 fans to the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles at the first of the band's two shows at the venue. It was the biggest crowd in the history of the SoCal stadium, which opened in September 2020. The San Francisco Bay Area-based metal legends drew a similarly sized capacity crowd two days later at the same venue.

Fans purchased more than 156,000 tickets for the two-concert stand, which was also part of METALLICA 's "M72" world tour.

The "M72" tour launched in late April in Amsterdam.

A portion of proceeds from the shows go to METALLICA 's All Within My Hands foundation, which seeks to assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band and combat food insecurity; provides disaster relief; and bestows scholarships.

METALLICA 's production travels in 87 trucks — 45 for the band and its setup, plus two groups of 21 each for the steel stage and towers. There are 130 people in the band's crew, plus 40 steelworkers, local hires and truck drivers.

METALLICA 's manager Cliff Burnstein told Billboard that between 80% and 90% of fans at each concert are attending both shows.

METALLICA 's two-night stand at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas in August was livestreamed to movie theaters across the globe. It marked METALLICA 's first appearance in Texas since November 2021, when the band played before, during and after a Triad Combat event at Globe Life Field.

Wherever We May Roam Tour

Wherever We May Roam (mentioned by band members in interviews as Wherever I May Roam ) was a concert tour by the American heavy metal band Metallica in support of their eponymous fifth studio album (commonly known as The Black Album ). It began in autumn of 1991. The North American legs ran through summer 1992, followed by the Guns N' Roses/Metallica Stadium Tour , the Wherever We May Roam European leg, and finally the Nowhere Else to Roam tour of smaller markets in North America, Mexico, Asia, Australia, South America, Europe and Israel, ending in the summer of 1993.

First typical setlist

Second typical setlist.

These initial North American shows took place in arenas, with multiple dates in largely populated areas not uncommon. The band was at a commercial peak, following the release of their fifth and most commercially successful album Metallica (The Black Album) and its breakthrough hit " Enter Sandman ". The leg of the tour overlapped with the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert , at which Metallica performed a short set.

The 1991 European leg was part of the Monsters of Rock festival. The last concert of that leg, held on September 28, 1991, at Tushino Airfield in Moscow, was described as "the first free outdoor Western rock concert in Soviet history" and had a crowd estimated between 150,000 and 500,000 people, [1] [2] with some unofficial estimates as high as 1,600,000. [3] On the North American leg, the January 13 and 14, 1992, shows in San Diego were later released in the box set Live Shit: Binge & Purge , [4] while the tour and the album were later documented in A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica . [5]

During the Guns N' Roses/Metallica Stadium Tour , Hetfield suffered second and third degree burns to his arms, face, hands, and legs during a live performance of the introduction of " Fade to Black ". [4]

The band dispensed with supporting acts on the tour, billing it on tickets as "An Evening with Metallica / No Opening Act". Instead, a video presentation was shown before the concerts actually started which lasted about 20 or 25 minutes. Included might be clips of local sights near the venue, Metallica shopping in local stores, roadies prepping the arena, Lars Ulrich walking around backstage giving introductions and reciting band history, or other band members engaging in various hijinks. The video would conclude with a montage of "Enter Sandman" with film clips of Clint Eastwood in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly .

Setlists consisted of a mixture of Metallica (The Black Album) material with fan-favorite songs from their first four albums. Shows were typically three hours long.

The stage itself was a diamond form, with a number of singing and playing positions that would allow band members to rotate around. Two drum kits were typically setup on opposite sides of the stage, with the ability to lower the kits down below the stage or raise it to the stage itself, as well as move the kits around to different positions on the stage. Some selected fans were located in a pit inside the stage area dubbed the "Snakepit" by the band.

At different points in the show, individual solo slots were offered up, typically a bass solo, a guitar solo, then later a drum solo. The drum slot was often the most popular, with James Hetfield often taking a seat behind the second kit, dueling with Ulrich. Drum parts from other bands such as Slayer might be quoted, or Kirk Hammett might appear to play a bit of " Smoke on the Water " along with the drums. The bass solos often included segments with the guitars.

Metallica is the fifth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on August 12, 1991, by Elektra Records. Recording sessions took place at One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles over an eight-month span that frequently found Metallica at odds with their new producer Bob Rock. The album marked a change in the band's music from the thrash metal style of their previous four albums to a slower, heavier, and more refined sound.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band's fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax, and Slayer. Metallica's current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine, who formed Megadeth after being fired from Metallica, and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton, and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

St. Anger is the eighth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on June 5, 2003. It was the last Metallica album released through Elektra Records and the final collaboration between Metallica and longtime producer Bob Rock, with whom the band had worked since 1990. This is also Metallica's only album as an official trio, as bassist Jason Newsted left the band prior to the recording sessions. Rock played bass in Newsted's place, and Robert Trujillo joined the band following its completion. Although he does not play on the album, Trujillo is credited in the liner notes and appears in photos with the band in the album's booklet.

Jason Curtis Newsted is an American musician who was the bassist of heavy metal band Metallica from 1986 to 2001. He first performed with thrash metal band Flotsam and Jetsam from 1981 to 1986 before joining Metallica to succeed the deceased Cliff Burton. Newsted performed on the albums ...And Justice for All (1988), Metallica (1991), Load (1996), and Reload (1997).

Live Shit: Binge & Purge is the first live album by the American heavy metal band Metallica, released in a box set format on November 23, 1993. The initial first pressings contained three CDs or cassette tapes, with songs from concerts in Mexico City on the Nowhere Else to Roam tour, as well as three VHS tapes while a newer version contains two DVDs from concerts in San Diego on the Wherever We May Roam Tour and Seattle on the Damaged Justice Tour. It was originally released as a cardboard box depicting the style of a typical tour equipment transport box. Besides the audio and video media, the box featured additional bonus material and a black "Metalli'Fukin'ca" T-shirt. Live Shit: Binge & Purge has been certified 15× platinum by the RIAA as a long-form video format.

" One " is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica, released as the third and final single from the band's fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All (1988). Written by band members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the song portrays a World War I soldier who is severely wounded—arms, legs and jaw blown off by a landmine, blind and unable to speak or move—begging God to take his life. In the music video, attempting to communicate with the hospital staff he jolts in his bed, spelling "Kill me" in Morse code. Production of the song was done by the band alongside Flemming Rasmussen. The song was the band's first to chart in the U.S., reaching number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100 . It was also a number one hit in Finland.

A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica is a two-part documentary about the process of making the Metallica album and the following tour. It was produced by Juliana Roberts and directed by Adam Dubin.

Cliff 'Em All is a compilation of video footage, and the first video album by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on November 17, 1987, as a tribute to Metallica's bassist Cliff Burton, who died in a tour bus accident on September 27, 1986, at the age of 24, near Ljungby, Sweden, during the European leg of their Master of Puppets world tour. Its title is derived from Metallica's debut album, Kill 'Em All . The home video also features a performance with former guitarist Dave Mustaine on March 19, 1983, shortly before his ousting from the band.

Damaged Justice was the fourth concert tour by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It began on September 11, 1988, and ended on October 8, 1989. The name is believed to be inspired either by the cover of its fourth studio album ...And Justice for All , or by the song "Damage, Inc." from the group's previous album, Master of Puppets . The single "One" was released during the tour.

" The Unforgiven " is a power ballad by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released as the second single from their eponymous fifth album Metallica .

Wherever I May Roam by Metallica

Songfacts®:

• James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich wrote "Wherever I May Roam" about life on the road. Metallica were road warriors in these days, touring constantly. The song talks about the weary travels during, and at the end of the tour. Kirk Hammett was quoted saying after the Wherever I May Roam tour, "I bought a house last year that I haven't even seen yet!" >> Suggestion credit : Josh - El Paso, TX
• The instrument used at the beginning is an electric sitar. Kirk Hammett used it again when they played this with the San Francisco Orchestra in 1999. This can be heard on their album S&M .
• The odd "cracking" sound heard throughout the song is from a 12-string bass that Jason Newsted used on the track.
• The intro of the guitar solo near the end of the song was adapted from a Jimi Hendrix solo. Kirk Hammett has openly admitted this. >> Suggestion credit : JT - Tullahoma, TN, for above 3
• Metallica dropped a trio of different versions of "Wherever I May Roam" on July 21, 2021. They were all released from the 30th anniversary edition of The Black Album . The three tracks are: A Spanish rendition by the "Prince of Reggaeton," J Balvin. A country-fied interpretation by Nashville star Jon Pardi.

• Not Bob Ross from A House Mint song big Metallica fan.
• Stecky This song is about being refugee, I know that for fact.
• Mochi from Pr This song is about Buddhism and Siddhartha. Kirk is a Buddhist. Just look up Siddhartha. He discarded all his material possessions and became a roamer because "less is more" but continues to pursuit knowledge. I read a book about Siddhartha and literally everything on this song fits. It's astonishing that no one else noticed.
• Ktos from Pl Well i travel a lot with only a few things, i love to sleep in the wood, this song is my anthem. Every time im about to sleep i got "Where I lay my head is home" quote in my mind :D
• Jonaqilz from Perak...malaysia love this song...almost about me n my life...
• Fursuiter Chloe from Belvidere, Il (hoping To Go Live In Austrailia Or London) I thought it was about a person dreaming about worod domination, also I live 20 minutes away from bahgalow
• Jasper from New York For those who don't hear the "odd cracking" sound, you can hear it at 47 and 55 seconds in and it sounds like a whip cracking
• Josh Souvannakasy from Tumwater Wa It had india sitar intro
• Zander from Los Angeles I don't hear an "odd cracking sound" Help?
• Bahgalow from Rockford, Il Really?? I thought this song was about a bum.. Like a bum that begs for change.. Never thought about it in the "Touring" outlook.. Hmmm..
• Isis from Queens, Ny This is one of my favorites, love the beginning. I think the song is obviously about being on the road though.
• Jordan from Liberty City, Tx i love the sitar intro but i cant find it on napster always just starts at the heavy part...
• Adam from Clinton Township, Mi This song is Metallica's answer to Seger's 'Turn The Page'. Both songs are about life as a traveling musician.
• Oliver from Rizal, Philippines it's about satan roaming.........
• Danny from Des Moines, Ia Hey Varun, it's an electric sitar. You should watch the S&M version. Not only is it sick, but it also shows Kirk playing his sitar at the beginning. This song was written on the Phrygian scale which makes it sound more Eastern. Wikipedia says "Eye of the Beholder" is as well. I've heard Metallica wants to sound more Eastern on the new album, so expect some possible killers like this one. I don't work for Metallica, btw. I just love them so much.
• Brian from Richmond , Va My all-time favorite Metallica song off of my favorite album of all time, Metallica's self titled CD, more commonly known as the Black Album. The song is high octane energy. I absolutely love the beginning and the ending of the song. I play this song at least once every week. I love the lyrics and Lars is mean on the drums.
• Colleen from Mankato, Mn I have not heard every song by Metallica, but out of the ones I have heard, this is my absolute favourite.
• Lars Ulrich from Copenhagen Our band (Absinthe) used to play this all of the time. It's a cool song.
• Bob from New York, Ny This song reminds me of a soldier or samurai who just walks the earth without a care or goal.
• Jt from Tullahoma, Tn this is my favorite off the Black Album, hands down.
• Mongrol from Istanbul, Turkey one of my favourittes.. it's about freedom, and raw anarchism..... lots of power in this song...
• Steven from Viking, Canada This song rules along with the rest of the black album
• Charbel from Sydney U can feel the sadness in this music, the way the music is played, i feel like it expresses some kind of very sad moment like death or so.... GREAT SONG!!! i love it
• Niels from Denmark, Denmark The intro: James played the intro with a sitar which is an Indian folk instrument. The background: Lars used some further percussion and electronic sound effects for enriching the sound of the background.
• Paulo from India, United States One of the stronger tracks on the album.
• Daniel from Sydney, Australia It's a sitar which Kirk played which is why when ever this song is played live, the intro is played through on a tape
• Varun from Delhi, India Can someone tell what instrument is kinda used for the intro : An Indian Sitar or the regular guitar with a Sitar like Distortion???
• Mariah from Miami, Fl Yeah, it's almost like... Sitar-sounding...
• Jamie from Noel Shore, Canada This Song Kicks Ass...Especially The Intro :)

Metallica Shares Long-Lost Live Version Of 'Wherever I May Roam' From 1991

By Andrew Magnotta @AndrewMagnotta

July 23, 2021

Metallica just shared a previously unreleased live version of "Wherever I May Roam," from the band's performance at Bill Graham's 'Day on the Green' concert in Oakland, California, in 1991.

The track is the latest taste of rarities included in the band's forthcoming 30th anniversary Black Album reissue, celebrating the background and the growing legacy of one of the most successful heavy metal albums of all-time.

Take a listen to "Wherever I May Roam (Live at Day on the Green, Oakland, CA, October 12, 1991)" via the player above!

The Black Album was released in August of 1991, so the Day on the Green performance would have been one of the first times the band performed "Wherever I May Roam" live. That concert was also the final Day on the Green before Graham's death about two weeks later.

Previously this summer, the band unveiled a rough mix of "The Unforgiven" from the spring of 1991, rehearsal recording of "Holier Than Thou," an alternate studio take of "Sad But True" from February 1991 and an instrumental demo version of "Enter Sandman" from July of 1990.

The deluxe reissue package is a veritable Metallica library unto itself. It includes the remastered original album, available in multiple formats, plus a picture disc, three live albums, 14 CDs containing rough mixes, song demos, interviews and live performances, 6 DVDs with outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage, official music videos and live performances, a 120-page hardcover book, four tour laminates, three lithos, three guitar picks, a Metallica lanyard, a folder with lyrics sheets and a download card.

The 30th anniversary edition of the Black Album arrives September 10, along with The Metallica Blacklist , a massive compilation of covers of Black Album songs by various artists to benefit charity.

Photographer Ross Halfin 's Metallica: The Black Album In Black & White photo book is set to arrive on October 19.

And in addition to its string of festival dates this fall, the band has announced two shows this December in San Francisco to celebrate its 40th anniversary . Tickets to both anniversary shows will be available only to fan club members.

Electric Semi Truck

It’s electric metallica summer tour hits the road with iveco electric power.

Iconic rock band Metallica is going to “ride the lightning” (sorry) in more ways that one this summer as they use battery electric and hydrogen-powered trucks from Iveco throughout their European tour.

Built by Italian manufacturer and Nikola partner Iveco , the electric drive trucks (some BEVs, some FCEVs ) will ferry the band’s gear and road crews between 14 concert venues across Europe throughout the summer.

A little bit of everything

In addition to providing electrified transport between tour venues with its S-eWay electric semi trucks, Iveco will also provide electric and CNG-fueled versions of its Daily model shuttle buses (above, at right) for on-site transportation at different concerts , which will further reduce Metallica’s carbon footprint wherever the band may roam (sorry, again).

“The launch of Iveco’s 2024 full range is a unique milestone in our history that opens an exciting chapter powered by our new energy,” offered Luca Sra, President of Iveco Group’s Truck Business Unit, at the company’s 2024 product launch late last year . “There could be no better time to announce a truly electrifying partnership. We are very happy to go ‘down the highway’ with this amazing band and crew onboard our alternative propulsion vehicles, driven by our shared vocation for supporting sustainable communities and pushing the boundaries for a better world.”

Iveco says the use of these “green” trucks and vans help Metallica meet its goal of reducing its carbon footprint one concert at a time, and providing for a more sustainable show experience overall. Which is in keeping with Metallica’s “ All Within My Hands ” foundation, which supports local food banks while the band is on tour and provides funding for the Metallica Scholars workforce education initiative that supports students at community colleges.

Electrek’s Take

While we’re focused on the heavy-duty, battery-electric Iveco S-eWay that offers 500 km (just over 300 miles) of range on a single charge, it’s important to note that Metallica is also using hydrogen fuel cell and LPG versions of the company’s trucks and shuttles throughout the tour. That might be a controversial move in some circles, but Europe (and Iveco) seem optimistic that the challenges facing hydrogen’s viability as a transport fuel –  and those include both environmental costs and cost costs – will be overcome.

Whether that will happen before battery technology makes its next big leap forward and leaves H well and truly behind remains to be seen, of course ( my money’s on batteries ).

Metallica Is Touring With Electric and Hydrogen-Powered Trucks Wherever They May Roam This Summer

Metallica won’t just be riding the lightning this summer in Europe.

The legendary heavy metal act will be taking electric and hydrogen trucks on the European leg of its ongoing M72 World Tour this summer, according to Jalopnik . The vehicles, which are built by Italian manufacturer Iveco, will ferry the band’s gear between 14 concerts across the continent.

For the second year in a row, Metallica’s caravan will be joined by Iveco’s battery-electric and hydrogen fuel cell heavy-duty trucks, the S-eWay and S-Way, as it travels between Munich, Warsaw, and Madrid. Although specs have not been made available, the former has an estimated range of more than 300 miles, while the latter has a range of 944 miles. Since last summer, Iveco has unveiled a new hydrogen-powered fuel-cell model with a range of 497 miles. It is unclear if that truck will accompany the band on tour.

Iveco won’t just be providing heavy-duty trucks for the band, though. Metallica will also make use of the automaker’s all-electric shuttle buses for on-site transportation at the different venues, which should help lessen its carbon footprint some while its on the road in Europe.

Metallica, as its most diehard fans will often remind you, is more than just a band. Because of this, each of the trucks accompanying the group’s caravan will be done up in a special livery inspired by the artwork for its most recent album, 72 Seasons . The grille of each vehicle is adorned with the same logo the act has been using since the early 1980s and the rest of the vehicle is finished in matte black with splashes of neon yellow.

This isn’t the first time the quartet of James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, and Robert Trujillo have shown their support for environmental causes, or, at the very least, reducing its carbon footprint. Last year, the group became the first musical act to perform on all seven continents when it performed inside a dome near the Carlini Scientific Base in Antarctica . The band played without traditional amplification to reduce any negative impact on the local ecosystem, while the entire production was powered by generators that ran on a sustainable blend of jet fuel.
