Metallica is sharing a new, sonically-updated version of “Hero of the Day,” which appears on their upcoming reissue of Load. The remasters were overseen by producer Greg Fidelman and Latin Grammy-award winner Reuben Cohen. A lyric video for the song has also been released.
The video shows a drug-addled youth watching television. Various Metallica-themed shows and commercials are shown, including a Western movie starring Hetfield and Newsted, a boxing match with Hetfield as the coach and Kirk Hammett as the fighter, a game show called “Hero of the Day” (a parody of Jeopardy!) and news coverage with Hetfield on anchor duty.
