day 16 - a song that you used to love but now hate

[osaraba]

I don't think I actually hate Enter Sandman but I definitely overplayed it when I listened to the Black Album on repeat for months at a time (sorry Sharon, I know that was the beginning of the end for you)! As a result I just can't stand to hear it played as pretty much the representational Metallica song on the radio and TV shows, etc.

Fave lines: dreams of war / dreams of lies / dreams of dragon's fire

List of all days.

YES. THIS.

UGH.

And it's sad because I miss that feeling of HOLY SHIT THIS IS GREAT, LET'S PLAY IT AGAIN.

[osaraba]

You know, I... don't think I ever really thought about that before? I'd just get stuck on the "heard it too many times, it's boring/irritating now" and not even think about what it is about it that made it so great at first but didn't stand the test of time.

Now I'm going to be thinking about that and will probably also never figure it out. DAMN YOU.

I'm okay with that song. It's 'Nothing Else Matters' that makes me turn my radio off whenever it starts playing. I remember the days when Metallica made fun of other bands for singing ballads. ;-)

I've always found it so funny that you hated 'Nothing Else Matters' while it was the song that totally turned me onto Metallica in the first place. Ahahaha. I mean, it's been a LONG time since it was my favorite song but still it's got a place in my heart. =D

Something about Metallica circa "Enter Sandman" makes me think of two very random things:

1. Their episode of "Behind the Music".

2. How that whole album got played out to the point that it took me years for the urge to change the channel or radio station to disappear.

It's a good song though. But WAY played.

Hahaha, oh man I remember seeing that episode of Behind the Music a million times! Any time I think of it there's this one particular scene that stands out in my memory -- the narrator says how they were accused of "selling out" and Jason goes, "Yes, we sell out." *claps his hands together while he stares intensely and his neck muscles bulge* "Every seat in the house; every time we play; anywhere we play."

LOLZ.
