The story behind
Metallica recorded Motorbreath in 1983, in a studio in Rochester, New York. The song is fast, lasts just over three minutes, and moves between thrash and speed metal. The lyrics talk about making the most of life, about not repeating what others do. Some interpreted it as a love song, especially before Dave Mustaine left the band. It is the only one attributed solely to James Hetfield and also the shortest of the band's original studio album tracks. They included it in a soundtrack for a game and other groups performed it in tribute albums. ↓ Skip to chordsA5 A#5
