Nothing Else Matters was written by James Hetfield lead vocalist and guitarist of METALLICA. Metallica and Miley were on the Howard Stern show. Elton John made a video call to talk to Metallica cause he did a cor of the song with Miley for his charity album. James Hetfield ended up crying during the call cause Elton said that Nothing Else Matters was one of the best songs ever written to him.

YES! I'd love to see just a Cradle of Filth EP. I bet they go from hating it to loving it. Once they get that feel of Dani's voice being more of an instrumental addition, but not songs chronologically. You have to end it with one of their best songs like "Cruelty Brought Thee Orchids" or "Nymphetamine" or "Beauty Slept in Sodom" or "Bathory Aria" or... (I could go on and on) and DEFINITELY do much better research when you're explaining the songs, themes, lyrics and albums!

I love seeing younger generations appreciating Metallica. I think Metallica were geniuses when it came to writing songs. They perfected the 'this is the time we live in and we will send a message to listeners now' then went on to write the songs they knew would 'live forever.' Going off-norm to create Nothing Else Matters was complete genius. It might have not been popular at the time, but it is by far one of the highest contributors (along with Enter Sandman) of their music lasting eternally and has played the most part in getting all generations to experience them. Well done, James, well done, sir.
