[edit] Bif Naked Cover Version

Not sure if this is noteworhty or not, but her cover was released as a single here in Canada and it had James Hetfield vocals also. I don't know if this was put together electronically or whether Hetfield actually recorded it with her (the album version is just Bif Naked). Just wondering if this notable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.152.156.228 (talk) 00:28, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ballad?

Metallica had ballads on their albums before, but I think it should be specified that this was a "love ballad" or at least a more typical one, as Metallica's ballads before this dealt with far more serious issues than "missing your girlfriend" (Sanitarium was about insanity, Fade to Black was about suicide, and One was based on the novel Johnny Got His Gun). So, the issue wasn't so much the inclusion of a ballad as much as it was the inclusion of what could be perceived as a "love song".

If anyone has any disagreements, feel free to contact me on my talk page (I realize calling this a "love song" is a stretch, but compared to their other ballads, that's the closest word I could get for it.)

[edit] Covers, etc.

Live version with Chris Isaak on "Don't Call Us..." compilation... — RevRagnarok Talk Contrib 17:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "The rest of the song is very difficult, though, at least for a beginner"

No it's not! I could play this whole song straight through less than a few months after I bought my guitar. It's just natural major and minor chords, nothing hard at all. And I'm going to remove this statement from the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PearlTheater (talkcontribs)

"A few months" means you're not a total beginner. Also, the solo isn't so trivial as you claim it to be. --Army1987 15:31, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moonlight Sonata and Nothing Else Matters

Does anyone else think that this song has similarities to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata? I'm not saying that Nothing Else Matters has anything to do with the Moonlight Sonata but I think there is the same "catch"... --Insist 13:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
