About This Track

“Wherever I May Roam” is the fifth track on the album Metallica released in 1991 by the heavy metal band Metallica. The song starts with an electric sitar playing the main riff of the song, before the drums and electric guitars come in. In addition to the use of a sitar, the loud “crack” heard at 0:30 in the song (and then repeatedly throughout the intro) is bassist Jason Newsted playing a 12-string electric bass, as mentioned by the bassist on the Classic Albums: Metallica - Metallica DVD.

    Their best post-AJFA song ever. No possibility of topping it, considering their contemporary works. "Where I lay my head is home..."

    I hate the live version. So few bands can still play well live, Metallica aren't one of them.

    Bought the black album back in '91 and at the time long time fans hated it because it was more radio oriented and the songs were shorter.However i've always thought it was damn good album and the live show at the time kicked ass also....

    The only negative thing on this song is Kirk's awful wah-wah solos. The rest is pure classic.
