6.80 min. | 4.95 user rating		 NOTHING ELSE MATTERS-REGGAE VERSION by RAY & THE MYSTERIOUS ONES Nothing Else Matters è il titolo di una ballata dei Metallica. Si tratta dell'ottava traccia del loro album omonimo (1991). Molti fan del gruppo, abituati alle sonorità thrash metal dei loro primi quattro album, non apprezzarono l'inserimento di una ballata. La canzone fu uno dei motivi principali per cui i fan cominciarono a criticare la svolta sonora dei Metallica. Nonostante questo, la canzone è attualmente una delle più note del gruppo californiano, e viene tuttora diffusa spesso dalle radio. Il vocalist e chitarrista James Hetfield dedicò inizialmente questa canzone alla sua prima ragazza. La considerava una canzone molto personale e non era intenzionato a pubblicarla, ma quando il batterista Lars Ulrich la sentì, la volle a tutti i costi nel Black Album. Ora i Metallica la considerano una canzone dedicata a tutti i loro fans, e solitamente la suonano ad ogni concerto. L'introduzione è un arpeggio in Mi minore che comincia con le corde (a vuoto) Mi, Sol, Si e Mi cantino.

Tra l'altro è l'unica canzone in cui i Metallica si cimentano con il tempo in 3/4, cosa rara in una canzone rock, solitamente in 4/4. L'introduzione è facile da suonare, ed è <b>...</b>
