23.08.2008: Erste Videoausschnitte zur Sinlge online. (Metallica)
Metallica News und kein Ende in Sicht. Nachdem die Millionäre die neue Single
"The Day That Never Comes" kurzfristig auf ihre
Myspace Site knallten, gibts nun auch Auszüge des Clips zu sehen.
MTV.com erzählte James Hetfield folgendes:
"That's the beauty, I think, of writing vague but powerful lyrics — that someone like a movie director can interpret it in his own way and obviously, someone creative is able to take the metaphors and apply them to whatever he needs in his own life. The main theme of the video is the human element of forgiveness and someone doing you wrong, you feeling resentment and you being able to see through that in the next situation that might be similar and not take your rage or resentment out on the next person and basically keep spreading the disease of that through life.
The one thing that I wasn't keen on here was Metallica plugging into a modern war or a current event that]might be construed as some sort of political statement on our part. There are so many celebrities that soapbox their opinions, and people believe it's more valid because they're popular. For us, people are people — you should all have your own opinion. We are hopefully putting the human element in what is an unfortunate part of life. There are people over there dealing with situations like this, and we're showing the human part of being there.
It's the forgiveness part — that is key.
Metallica has never plugged into any current event visually, but this one is kind of a hotbed. People have very high opinions about this war, and we're trying to cut through all of that. The politics and the religion tend to separate people, and what we're trying to do is bring it together with the common thread of resentment and forgiveness."
