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.

It was once rumored that the 74 minute CDR length was specifically set to be sure to be able to hold Beethoven's 9th Symphony in its entirety. (snopes.com)

I think it’s more likely the devil made it that length to be able to fit Slayer's Reign in Blood on a CDR twice.

Try it, it fits quite nicely
