Sad but True
"Sad but True" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released in February 1993 as the fifth and final single from their 1991 self-titled album. The music video for the single was released in October 1992. The song peaked at number 15 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.
According to Lars Ulrich, the initial idea for "Sad But True" dates as far back as 1986 during the Master of Puppets era. The song is in D Standard tuning, however the song was originally written and demoed in E Standard. Bob Rock, who produced Metallica, recalled to Musicradar.com: "We were in pre-production, which was uncomfortable because nobody had ever made them go through their songs in such a deliberate way before, and six songs in 'Sad But True' came along. Suddenly, I realized that every song, including this one, was in the key of E. I brought this to the band's attention, and they said, 'Well, isn't E the lowest note?' So I told them that on Mötley Crüe's Dr. Feelgood, which I produced and Metallica loved, the band had tuned down to D. Metallica then tuned down to D, and that's when the riff really became huge. It was this force that you just couldn't stop, no matter what."
Rock, Hetfield, and Ulrich are all credited as producers, and Randy Staub and his assistant, Mike Tacci.
The music video filmed in January 1992 in San Diego and directed by Wayne Isham. It premiered on October 5, 1992.
