21 Things You Didn't Know About Metallica

Black Album single Enter Sandman is most famous for pioneering James Hetfield's barking delivery, especially in live versions of the song where he really takes a chunk out of the lyric, "Off to never never land-ah!", but the same line can also be heard at the close of Load's King Nothing, albeit whispered as the song fades out.

Speaking of fading, the song Fade to Black doesn't actually feature the titular phrase, instead it's mentioned on Reload's The Memory Remains, tying together the 90's era Metallica with the old in a pretty cool way.
