WHEREVER I MAY ROAM

Decent enough CD single, let's see what we have here? 'Wherever I May Roam' is a great song. Heavy, grooving, with a nice tasty riff and some big vocals, singing about life on the road, or whatever typical nonsense you'd imagine a metal band singing about in 1991. There's no denying it though, it's a great song.

Then there's a live version of 'Fade to Black', which, again, great song, although this could easily be one of the thousands of other live recorded versions of this track and I wouldn't know the difference. And a demo of the title track, despite the very rough sound, it's a nice touch, although listening to James Hetfield 'na na na' his way through the song is humorous for a one-off listen, but once is enough, thank you.

Overall, can't really complain. It's a harmless enough CD for collectors, but music fans today generally don't really care for CD singles, do they? So yeah, one for the collectors.
