Metallica's Lead Singer James Hetfield Says This Iconic Song Is the One He's Most Proud Of

Metallica has, without a doubt, produced a number of legendary songs over the years, including hits like “Until It Sleeps,” “Enter Sandman,” “The Memory Remains,” “The Day That Never Comes,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Cyanide,” “Hero of the Day,” “Master of Puppets,” and many more. After all, the heavy metal band — formed in Los Angeles — is one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, with a global fan base that spans generations. It’s no surprise that Metallica holds a place among the metal genre’s “Big Four” (alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax); such recognition isn’t earned without undeniable influence and sustained musical excellence. Each of their tracks could easily be considered among the greatest in metal history, and, subsequently, the band’s proudest moments. But for frontman James Hetfield, one track stands out above the rest: “The Unforgiven II.”
