I wonder if Metallica knew how big their fifth album was going to be when they recorded it, which was self-titled but is often referred to as the “Black Album” due to its all black cover. Already at the top of the thrash-metal world at the time, after Metallica was released the band became international stars in the rock world as well, as the album’s singles and videos received massive airplay on radio stations and video channels across the globe. Though the album was a bit of a departure from their previous, more thrash oriented, releases, it still remains a fan favorite to this day, and helped land the band in the upper echelon of rock stardom.
The single, “Sad But True,” is a great song to learn on the guitar. Not only does it have a great opening riff, strong chord work and a classic solo, but it was written in “Drop D” tuning, where the entire guitar is tuned down one step from E-A-D-G-B-E to D-G-C-F-A-D. This was only the second time that Metallica had written a song in this tuning, the first was “The Thing That Should Not Be” from their 1986 album Master of Puppets. The tuning not only provides a unique challenge when reading the song, but it gives it that extra depth and power that makes it drive home the heavy feel that Metallica is known for.
