'Load' is the sixth studio album by the American heavy metal band Metallica. Released on June 4, 1996 through Elektra Records, it sold 680,000 units in its first week (making it the biggest opening week for metallica) and debuted (and spent four consecutive weeks) at #1 on Billboard 200. The album has sold over 5 million copies worldwide and is certified 5x platinum by the RIAA. Six singles were released in part of the marketing campaign of the album: "Until It Sleeps", "Ain't My Bitch", "Hero of the Day", "Mama Said", "King Nothing", and "Bleeding Me".

The album garnered backlash from a portion of the band's fan base because of a shift in tone from the group's previous efforts (Load features a bluesier sound than the band's previous outings). According to drummer Lars Ulrich: "This album and what we're doing with it � that, to me, is what Metallica are all about: exploring different things. The minute you stop exploring, then just sit down and fucking die." "The House Jack Built", "Cure", "Ronnie", and "Thorn Within" have never been played live. Only "Thorn Within" and "Cure" had occasional jam sessions throughout 1997 but were stopped thereafter.

Artist: Metallica Album: Load Lyrics: Story starts, quiet town Small town boy, big time frown Never talks, never plays Different path, lost his way Then streets of red, red I'm afraid No confetti, no parade Nothing happens in this boring place But oh my god, how that all did change Now they all pray Blood stains wash away He said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way I heard him, he said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way All things wash away But blood stained the sun red today I always said, somethin' wrong With little strange Ronnie Long Never laughed, never smile Talked alone, miles and miles Gallow calls, son I say Keep your smile, and laugh all day Think once again, in this boring place For little boys, how the soon change Now they all pray Blood stains wash away He said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way I heard him, he said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way All things wash away But blood stained the sun red today Yeah, well all the green things die When Ronnie go to the place He said, "Don't you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this face" Now we all know why children called him Ronnie Frown When he pulled that gun from his pocket They'd all fall down He said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way I heard him, he said "lost my way" This bloody day Lost my way All things wash away But blood stained the sun red today

Empty Frets (copyright 2006) playing Metallica's King Nothing from their load album. CAMERA HAS FLIPPED THE IMAGE, WE ARE NOT LEFTIES ! JUST ONE THING BEFORE U COMMENT ON TIMING: THE DRUMMER OBVIOUSLY HAS TO SING AND DRUM AT THE SAME TIME. ALSO WHEN WE RECORDED THIS THE AMPS WERE QUIET SO HE CANT HEAR EVERYTHING (That's why his timing is a little off sometimes kk). BAND GEAR IN THIS VID (Harry Cal and Me): :::Pearl exr drum kit with zildjian A custom cybals (very good) also a K cusom splash and K cusom Dark china cymbol (piece of noisy alluminium). He has a joey jordison signature snare drum which i persuaded him to buy :) and a DW 9002 PC kick pedal...Drummer also has a cowbell hehe. O and a very expensive senhiser wireless mike which is a nice ya. Also he uses remo empiror x double ply drum skins. :::Yamaha Pa system 800watts. With shure micraphones and warfdale 250 watt speakers and stands. :::squier pimp bass custom - emg pickups, custom metal paint job, rotosound custom gauge strings. With Ashdown 180 blue bass amplifier (also he has a fucking huge ass 300 watt cab at home which is curently being used as a bedside table and cat seat) :::Gibson les paul standard cherry burst (no gloss matt finish). with BurstBucker Pro pickups with Alnico V magnets. Marshall AVT 150 also with external cab which is sulking in my garage because we don't let it out to breathe from shortage of gigs which everyone keeps telling us to do another one (we will eventually after eating <b>...</b>

Guitar: Epiphone Les Paul Custom Tuning: Eb Bridge Pickup Only Learned this song: Today! 07.20.2009 Ya I just learned this song today so be easy on me! I stayed up until around 5:00am getting this song and video done to put up for you. haha!.... I was a bit worn out! I had been working on it all day to my own little style with in Kirk Hammett's re writing it a bit here and there. Guitar 1 in the book is the parts I am playing. Although I had to cut Guitar 1 intro to come in in the video because of the effect it has in the mp3/ I am the louder of all the guitars in this video so it had to be done that way to make it sound like I was busting in at 0:28 seconds. On the making of Ronnie James is playing the intro? lol! So I guess it really does not matter who plays the intro as long as you keep the main guitar parts after 0:28 seconds. That is when you must lock in the parts you will be playing. If you listen to the cd version of this song you will hear many differences in this and theirs! I just felt it needed a little more of a boost in a few parts then what KH gives it. One part I also have added a small double of the lead part at 4:27 that is not in the song. The lead there doesn't really start until 4:39. SO I doubled the bars for that lead to repeat before coming in normally. It does not disrupt the main song at any time and can be played live this way also! I love re writing songs a little to make them more interesting if I can? But without changing the main structure <b>...</b>
