Ripped from the DVD that came with Fan Can #3 - recorded at the Blindman's Ball Festival in Suttgart, Germany, 23.08.1997 Fan Cans are customized paint cans stuffed with a CD, video, T-shirt and various Metallica swag. Fan Cans are released by the official fan club and sold to members only, this makes the early versions practically hard to find.

Fan Can #3 also included: A CD featuring demos from Load & ReLoad, a T-Shirt & A rain poncho!!

Metallica singles chronology

"King Nothing" is a song by Metallica in their 1996 album Load.

The song King Nothing, written by James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Kirk Hammett, circles around the theme of "be careful what you wish for." The song starts on a bass riff which develops into the main riff of the song. A single of "King Nothing" was released in the United States. It included a live version of the song "Ain't My Bitch", which is also on the album Load. A music video also accompanied the song. The guitars and bass are both tuned to Eb.

At the end of the song, the words "Off to never-never land" can be heard. This is a nod to one of Metallica's most famous songs, "Enter Sandman", which also features these words. The song also features a similar structure.

"King Nothing" was featured as background music in the ninth episode of the second season of The Sopranos, From Where to Eternity, in a scene in which Tony Soprano is speaking with Paulie Gualtieri in the Bada Bing strip club.

On the U.S. charts, the song reached number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100, while peaking at number six on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

Demo

The demo of "King Nothing" was called "Load" (hence the title of the album it was featured on) and was recorded in Lars Ulrich's home studio 'Dungeon' by James Hetfield and Ulrich on November 30, 1994. The official music video for "King Nothing" was filmed in Salt Lake City, UT in December 1996.
