My guitar sound ate up all the lower frequencies. Jason and I were always battling for the same space in the mix. Well, fair. Lars Ulrich was less diplomatic in his remembrance. He and Hetfield purposefully monkeyed with the mix, he said. But of course it was spiteful! It was petty and demented. Young men can process pain in heavy and mysterious ways. Metallica hired Newsted, and then erased his contributions out of resentment at what they had so recently lost.
It was a perfect expression of self-sabotage and misdirected guilt. So [we were] trying to beat the fan out of him. Though it is dark to consider, this is also one of the richest and most perverse joys of Metallica.
The band has held true to its original vision. This was a difficult and meticulous job, but it was necessary to achieve the thick, throbbing, airless sound the band favored.
It eventually climbed to No. For the first time, Metallica was making capitulations to the mainstream. How does a person continue to access that well of savagery, to effectively channel it for decades? His lyrics are no less intense. The story of Joe Bonham, a good-looking, all-American boy encouraged to fight in World War I by his patriotic father, Bonham loses his legs, eyes, ears, mouth and nose to a German shell.

That One might lend itself well for some sort of visual interpretation that would complement the music in an arresting, artistic way, was obvious from the start. They became even more excited by the idea when it emerged that Trumbo — a left-wing, pro-peace screenwriter hounded out of Hollywood during the McCarthy-era witch hunts of the fifties — had actually directed a film version of the book, released in at the height of the Vietnam War.
Might they be able to utilise scenes from it for a possible future video? The guitar solo on "Enter Sandman" was inspired, in part, by a sample on an Ice-T album "I think the time has come to reveal where I actually got the guitar lick before the breakdown in 'Enter Sandman,' Hammett told Guitar World.
I got it from a cut off Ice-T's Power album, where he sampled it. I heard that and thought, I have to snake this! Ulrich was the lone holdout and, after some heated discussion, eventually won out — to everyone's benefit.
