My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: This seemed like good timing for me to upload this one since Fortnite Recently got this along with a bunch of other Metallica. Here is the OG rhythm game appearance however, appearing in the first Rock Band game, while it would later appear in Guitar Hero Metallica as well where it was Mocapped by the band themselves, and of course it recently appeared in Fortnite Festival as well.
The RB1 appearance of this song is by far the least special appearance aside from the fact that its one of the few songs from the famous metal band to appear in Rock Band at all. The Guitar solo is by far the hardest part of the song of course, with its fast strumming, grace notes and fast descending parts. The ending also changes things up a little bit and goes on for a while, so its easy to mess up there too.
Song Facts:
"Enter Sandman" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It is the opening track and lead single from their self-titled fifth album, released in 1991. The music was written by Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Vocalist and guitarist Hetfield wrote the lyrics, which deal with the concept of a child's nightmares.
The single reached number 16 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and achieved platinum certification for more than 1,000,000 copies shipped in the United States, spurring sales of over 30 million copies for Metallica and propelling Metallica to worldwide popularity.
Acclaimed by critics, the song is featured in all of Metallica's live albums and DVDs released after 1991 and has been played live at award ceremonies and benefit concerts.
"Enter Sandman" was the first song Metallica had written for their 1991 eponymous album.
"Enter Sandman" had what Hetfield described as a "wall of guitars"- three rhythm guitar tracks of the same riff played by himself to create a "wall of sound".
