10 Rock Songs You Didn't Know Had Big-Name Guest Stars

10. Marianne Faithful - The Memory Remains

In the grand scheme of Metallica releases, Reload is not really looked at as a particular highlight. Sure, everyone knows and loves the breakout hit "Fuel," but the rest of the album seemed to be more of the same blend of hard rock and alternative tracks we had grown accustomed to on 1996's Load. While the one other single "The Memory Remains" is still a favorite from this album, the breakdown featured something we had never heard before on a Metallica release: female vocals.

The wordless chant that has become a crowd singalong was actually performed in the studio by Marianne Faithful. While her stint in the 60's may not have been as bright as other rock contemporaries, her singles and relationships with former members of the Rolling Stones makes her an ideal candidate for this ominous chant. Seeing how most of the lyrics revolve around a faded starlet who has had fame suck her dry, the chilling vocals of Faithful during the bridge are both demented and sad at the same time.

Faithful might not be what many expected out of Metallica, but her voice was just what this song needed to get its point across. There's no chance you'll find her touring with Metallica, yet she can make powerful music with them all the same.
