Known for being distant towards pop music more than his bandmates, James Hetfield has shared his opinions about a famous young musician, Miley Cyrus, and her cover of Metallica’s ‘Nothing Else Matters.’
As you may know, thrash metal’s legendary band Metallica released their iconic fifth studio album, ‘Metallica,’ also known as ‘The Black Album,’ in 1991. The album included the best-known songs of the band, such as ‘Enter Sandman,’ ‘The Unforgiven,’ ‘Nothing Else Matters,’ and ‘Sad but True.’ It became Metallica’s best-selling album and the band’s first album to top the album charts.
Back in 2019, the famous pop musician Miley Cyrus surprised her fans as well as rock fans by performing the cover of Metallica’s ‘Nothing Else Matters‘ live at the Glastonbury festival in the U.K. Her performance received mostly positive response from the audience, yet Metallica fans were divided about whether she successfully covered the iconic song of the band or not.
