About time we had some Symphony & Metallica. This is an original piece composed for the 1999 concert with the San Francisco Symphony. And what a piece it is, making No 1 on the US Rock chart for 7 weeks.

Musically pretty safe verse/chorus stuff but sonically massive with the orchestral brass and strings filling out Metallica's already big soundscape to create a truly vast song. Not hugely fast, or many tempo changes, see it feature a great guitar solo from Kirk and some cleaner singing from James

A fairly regular part of their live setlist these days, and repeated for S&M2 in 2019. A still a great listen in 2025, demonstrating the versatility of Metallica. Enjoy!
