** In [https://web.archive.org/web/20121213002016/http://www.eddietrunk.com/index.cfm/pk/view/cd/NAA/cdid/410456/pid/403499 a 2009 interview], Hetfield was asked about the ''Load'' period. He revealed that Lars and Kirk were largely responsible for their image change starting with ''Load''. He accordingly hated the cover art (which he labeled a "piss-take" and said Lars and Kirk went with it to annoy him), Anton Corbijn's photos (he said he rejected at least half of them, and said the ones where Lars and Kirk were kissing were intended to annoy him), and agreed that they were musically "unsure" in that period.
** He also doesn't like "Don't Tread on Me".
** ''St. Anger'' got this too, though they said it was necessary due to... see the Music tab.

* [[Streisand Effect]]: Lars Ulrich's attempts to shut down Napster actually ''encouraged'' many people to illegally download Metallica songs, even people who didn't like the music still downloaded it just to spite Lars.
Line 21:
** Before he died, Cliff Burton was leading the band into a progressive direction. One can only wonder how far they would have gone into [[Progressive Metal]] had Cliff not died.
** Also, on ''S&M'', both "No Leaf Clover" and "-Human" had a unique sound to them. They were still rock, like ''Load'' and ''ReLoad'', but without the blues and country elements. They were a lot heavier, more technical and had a darker, almost hopeless atmosphere to them. As with the example above, they may have continued in this more musically mature and progressive direction if not for their subsequent [[Creator Breakdown]].
** Les Claypool, a personal friend of Kirk Hammett, once auditioned to be Metallica's newest bassist after Burton's death, but he was turned down, because, according to Hetfield, "he was too good" and that he should "do his own thing". Claypool would later form [[
** [[Hulk Hogan]] was almost in Metallica. "[http://www.nme.com/news/metallica/61668 Bass solo, take 1, brother!]"
