CloserToSin	Well, when I was 10 years old, I saw Metallica play and I don't quite recall a lot of that show. It was a while ago and I do remember one thing..I remember a sea of people just chanting "Sandman! Sandman!" and they busted into what became my favorite song added: 11/29/2003, 02:13 AM

Metallica < BeeGees... an example of a proper inequality.

A decent song, yet not very representative of the band. Anymore if you like this song you're too "mainstream".

Kick ass song with a kick ass riff. This song is far from being my favorite Metallica song but I do really love it. This is one off the first songs i've ever heard from them and right from the start I loved this masterpiece!

Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray the lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake Pray the lord my soul to take Hush little baby, don't say a word And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed, In your closet, in your head
-For some odd reason, i love that part...

Vash	whoa, childhood memories. i don't give a shit if it's their most popular song or if it's the one that made them sellouts of whatever, it's one of my favourites of theirs and one that i grew up listening to. i'd rather listen to this than most of their other shit. added: 06/13/2004, 11:02 PM

Deep	This song is a classic and pure gold. They never sold out or anything. All the ever did was make a fucked up album called St Anger. But this stuff is still really great! added: 06/14/2004, 05:14 AM

Nils	one of the best indead skarghash... i'v got nothing more to say to this Fcking good song. added: 06/24/2004, 04:55 PM*

Kick ass classic. It was my first Metallica song. Even though it's overplayed, it still rocks.

I can't listen to it anymore, because I've heard it too much, but this is what got me into Metallica. It's a classic.

THE Perfect Name

Good song, but it got overplayed, and it wasnt even a proper representation of Metallica. This is when my love for Metallica died a little.

added: 07/31/2004, 10:39 AM

MwR	This is one of Metallica's strongest, most charismatic songs. Surely, one of the easiest to recognize. good song. added: 08/13/2004, 05:34 PM

I absolutely love this song.

man, u are right poop. Damn right u are! What mainstream was about is Metallica being without Cliff - Everything changed. No more of the thrash metal stuff by Metallica anymore since then-hardly. This song is good, but the older stuff was better. The whole album is basically non-thrash metal, but just as good as addictive.

What's good about this song was it is personally composed by Kirk. Where in the morning he just somehow got into this cool riff. this cool riff is further improvised by Lars. Next this blew the door open. Soo addictive that the album quickly went into selling million copies and platinum. Amazing solo using wah wah pedal by Kirk. Classic songs i would call it and still i rate this under top 10. 1 thing for sure, it's "mainstream".

good song, but it really shouldnt be there biggest hit though. so many songs that Metallica did that are better than tthis.

Good song!.. The studioversion is kind of overplayed, but live I can't get enough of it. Awsome!.. check the "Monsters of Rock"-version, damn it's heavy!

decent song but the lyrics are so stupid...metallica should've been an instrumental band...for some reason when he starts singing it tends to kill the awesome mood of the song

Nah the chorus "Exit Light, Enter Night" is the best line ever.

A very powerful and hard hitting song. One of my many Metallica favorites.

Probably the best piece that Metallica ever did. Definately a favorite of mine, and I know it's a favorite of yours.

Not as good as, perhaps as ADDICTIVE as.

One of the great game-changing songs of all-time!! It was so revolutionary - Metallica with only hook and per song? It was shocking!
