def should of been in top ten, easily one of there best songs

I’m not sure if it’s the best but it should definitely be in the top 5.

CinemaZebra

This is the combination of great lyrics with great music. "Wherever I may roam" probably is the most universal lyrics Metallica ever produced, even people living 1000 years ago could connect with the message behind it. No matter what we think every one of us struggles for independence. These great lyrics (truly a masterpiece) come wrapped on a very stimulating and exiting music.
