      Pretty sure james hetfield studied classical music at Juilliard university. He definitely had some schooling in classical guitar, and this song is the only metallica song written completely and totally by him. It is an extremely classical song. Pretty cool story behind this song actually. Lars was walking by as James was playing it and basically made him make it a Metallica song.. Glad too. It is one of my favorites of all time.

    When I was young, teachers and priests wouldn't stop yelling that rock and heavy metal are evil music. And now I'm listening to this man playing Metallica in a church and, nothing else matters.

      The religion in Denmark is also much more tolerant over things people love. They’re not going to judge what type of music you like (ofc there’s maybe some who does but that’s a minority). And a priest can also be married or be a woman in danish church.
