Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Until It Sleeps by Metallica

Friends Don't Let Friends Get Friends Haircuts

Today's Metal Track was the moment heavy metal legends Metallica revealed to the world their short haircuts. It seems kind of silly today, but back in 1996 it was a big deal. So much so that Mike Inez wrote the aforementioned phrase on his bass during Alice In Chains' MTV Unplugged performance in which Metallica was in attendance.

Until It Sleeps is off of their 1996 album Load. The song is about Hetfield's mother's battle with cancer with "It" being the cancer. This song is also famous for being the first ever pirated mp3.
