My Friend of Misery - Metallica - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The Black Album favorite "My Friend Of Misery" is an epic written from the perspective of a nihilistic wanderer. "One man's fun is another's hell / These times are sent to try men's souls," roars James Hetfield. Originally intended to work as an instrumental track, "My Friend of Misery" was one of the three songs co-written by bassist Jason Newsted during his years in Metallica (1986–2001) and opens with a sublime bass solo before a no-holds-barred guitar solo takes it completely off the rails. Released in August 1991, The Black Album is considered to be Metallica's masterpiece, edging away from the thrash metal with which they built their name and yielding a deluge of hits in "Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” “Wherever I May Roam," “Nothing Else Matters,” and “Sad But True.” It's also one of the best-selling albums the world has ever seen, a mammoth feat of musicianship that hit its 550-week milestone on the Billboard 200 in 2019.
