Metallica and Me Part Three: Butt Pride

From the song Where Ever I May Roam – Metallica’s Black Album

 Words and Music by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich 

 “…And the road becomes my bride

 I have stripped of all but pride 

 So in her I do confide 

 And she keeps me satisfied 

 Gives me all I nreed” 

 I can’t hear this lyric without replacing the words “all but pride” with “all butt pride”. 

 Pride in ones butt.  Isn’t that one of the 7 deadly sins? 

I can’t help but(t) wonder what was going on in the studio, no one was giggling like a pack of 5^th grade boys making poop jokes while Hetfield was yelling “all butt pri-da”?

“Uh, take 27, Mr. Hetfield, better sing that lyric again, heh heh”

This was a band once compared to the Great Slayer and the Mighty Megadeath.

The band responsible for Kill ‘Em All, Ride the Lightening, and Master of Puppets.

Butt then.. Butt Pride.
