Song of the Day: Wherever I May Roam

Wherever I May Roam by Metallica. Released in 1991 on the band’s self-titled, fifth studio album, also referred to as the Black Album. Wherever I May Roam was the fourth single released from the album and while it only hit 82 on the US billboard, it hit number 2 in Denmark, Finland and Norway. So apparently the Scandinavian countries back in the late 80s and early 90s absolutely loved some metal. The one thing I really dig about this song is the intro and for some reason I got to thinking that this intro is perfect for anything sports related. I don’t know if it’s ever been used before but could you imagine a closer coming out to pitch in the ninth inning to this song?? Because that’d be pretty sweet.
