Of Wolf and Man - Metallica - MP3 instrumental karaoke

“Of Wolf and Man” is a song from Metallica. Singer James Hetfield said it’s a song about the animal in all of us. The lyrics describe a wolf-like existence, shapeshifting between man and beast. “We shift / Pulsing with the earth / Company we keep / Roaming the land while you sleep.” This lone wolf tendency was described in a 2000 Playboy interview. Writer Bob Tannenbaum said he’d never seen a band so quarrelsome. Each member expressed their need for solitude. In their 2003 film Some Kind of Monster, the band documented working with a counselor in group therapy sessions while recording their album St. Anger. Bassist Jason Newsted quit the band after the first 9 1/2 hour session. While the band came to reject their counselor, ten years later they’re still together with their new bassist Robert Trujillo.
The backing track for “Of Wolf and Man” is available with background vocals or as an instrumental on Karaoke Verison.
