About this deal
Meanwhile, My Friend Of Misery is salvaged from forgettable second-division status by some fresh takes, including a sassy glam-pop makeover by French chanteuse Izïa and a luscious, head-spinning jazz rearrangement by tenor sax supremo Kamasi Washington. Magnificent collisions and unexpected connections abound. All profits go to charities chosen by the performers themselves. Inevitably, the big hits attract the most takers, hence no less than 12 reworkings of Nothing Else Matters.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band's fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding "big four" bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica's current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.
