S&M (album)
| Untitled | |
|---|---|
S&M is Metallica's ninth album, recorded live with the San Francisco Symphony on April 21 and 22, 1999. The set list contains songs from Ride the Lightning through ReLoad, as well as two new songs: "− Human" and "No Leaf Clover". "− Human" ("Minus Human") has never been performed without the symphony, but "No Leaf Clover" has been played live with a tape of the orchestral prelude.
Composer Michael Kamen was the mastermind behind scoring the symphonic arrangement.
The album's title is a play on words. The "S" (ostensibly for "symphony") is formed from a treble clef, while the "M" (ostensibly for "Metallica") is taken from the band's classic logo. S&M is also a well-known abbreviation for sadism and masochism. Some fans think the title of the album may also be an homage to a song with the same title by Thin Lizzy, one of Metallica's biggest influences.
During the show Hetfield re-named the song "Of Wolf And Man" to "Of Wolfgang And Man" in a reference to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
The filming of this concert was also released as a DVD.
