Jedna z nejvýraznějších metalových skupin světa, klasikové tohoto stylu (zpočátku řazeni k odrůdě thrash nebo speed). Sami přiznávají prvotní vliv Black Sabbath. Navíc výborní instrumentalisté. Skupina vzniká v r. 1981 v americkém Norwalku...

Píseň: Iced Honey

Interpret:
Metallica
Album:
Lou Reed - LULU
You can´t put a butterfly in a jar
If the effort´s too high
No matter who you are
You can´t catch the moon,
or the sun or the stars
It doesn´t matter who you are
Iced honey


Now me I´ve tried a million tricks
To make life cold and make it stick
Not running heat that flames than out
But the proud piece of ice
that always floats
Iced honey


If I can´t trap a butterfly or a bee
If I can´t keep my heart
where I want it to be
If no matter how much soul and heart 
I put to the wood
If a flaming heart is not that good
Iced honey


If you can´t put a butterfly in a jar
If violence mars your final hour
If you make others feel like jam 
Poured on a piece of charbroiled lamb


If it´s all mixed up and you cannot shout
And your oxygen starts to run out
If your final gasp has the recipe wrong
And instead of HELLO you say SO LONG


If your energy starts to leak out 
And people wonder what you´re all about
A heartbreaker with an unattached heart
The story of love gives them all a start


And me, I´ve always been this way
Not by choice, just this way
I can´t put my honey pot in a jar
Or a heart or a fist of some young boy


If you can´t put a butterfly in a jar
No wonder no need to wonder
where you are
It might seem like hell, the River Styx
Your affection never sticks


No matter what you say
No matter what you do
A butterfly heart flies right past you
There´s nothing to say, nothing to do
See if the ice will melt for you
Iced honey
