Then came the band’s long-haired surfers: the lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, a small man walking lightly on his toes; and the bassist Robert Trujillo, the newest member, heavy-featured and mild-mannered.
They were in a guarded outbuilding of Cotroceni Stadium here, several hundred feet beyond the stands. (The stadium usually serves the soccer team FC Progresul Bucuresti.) A low-ceilinged room had been remade as the band’s preconcert practice space, or what it calls its tuning room. There was a green drum kit with two bass drums, racks of guitars and basses, and Pro Tools equipment for digital recording.

Check out the lyrics to Metallica’s That Was Just Your Life from the new album Death Magnetic:
That Was Just Your Life
Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver’s seat
Like a face
That learns to speak
When all it knew was how to bite
Like a misery that keeps me focused though i’ve gone astray
Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day
Like conviction
A premonition
Not worthy of, so I deny…
I deny
