@heavymetalflashback: Written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, this song is a testament to Metallica’s life on the road. The band, known for their relentless touring, penned this song to express the weary travels during and at the end of their tours. The song begins with the unique sound of an electric sitar, setting the tone for the journey. The odd ‘cracking’ sound heard throughout the song comes from a 12-string bass that Jason Newsted used on the track. The guitar solo near the end of the song was inspired by a Jimi Hendrix solo, a fact openly admitted by Kirk Hammett. This song isn’t just about the physical journey, but also the mental and emotional journey of a nomad. The lyrics depict a king without a castle, a person who finds home wherever they lay their head. It’s about embracing the freedom of the open road, facing the world ‘stripped of all but pride’, and severing ties to redefine oneself. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! #metallica #whereverimayroam #blackalbum #jameshetfield #jasonnewsted #kirkhammett #larsulrich #songoftheday #entersandman #masterofpuppets #heavymetal #metallicafan #metallicaedit #ridethelightning #ajfa #deathmagnetic
