Metallica - No Leaf Clover



"No Leaf Clover" is the eighth song on Metallica's S&M album. The song (along with −Human) was one of two new pieces completed for the band's collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony in 1999. It begins with an intro section played by the orchestra, before entering into a clean guitar part by James Hetfield. The rest of the piece alternates between clean verses and choruses backed by heavily distorted guitars. It was the band's fourth #1 hit on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, one of many the band has achieved on this chart.

No Leaf Clover" consists of many riffs which Hetfield had created over the years but never used. It wasn't until Michael Kamen approached the band about the album that James completed it.
