10 WORST Metallica Songs Ever
9. I Disappear - Mission Impossible
While Load may have set up Metallica for more mainstream affairs, they would spend the rest of the 90's coaxing off their crossover potential. From releasing covers albums to recording a performance with an orchestra, the band stretched out their sound to cross over to any stripe of rock fan. However, even the most hardened Metallica fans can admit that "I Disappear" is the band's furthest step away from metal.
Created for the second installment in the Mission Impossible franchise, this song is Metallica at their most hard rock, with much of the song having the same song construction you would expect out of a standard pop rock song. It also didn't really help matters that this song was the reason the entire Napster lawsuit started, with Lars going to court with the owners of the website after an unfinished version of the song was leaked.
What ends up saving the song is the guitar accents from Kirk Hammett, which brings out some real emotion underneath its overwhelming amount of wah. This song could definitely tide over any hard rock fan of Metallica, but for most of the seasoned metalheads, this was the moment where Metallica took the plunge into the mainstream rock pool.
