We’re only four days into 2017, and we’ve already found a reason to be happy the internet exists. YouTube user Lars von Retriever has recorded a “cover” of Metallica’s “Atlas, Rise!” using James Hetfield laughing. What made him decide to do that? Well, either he’s a Metallica fan, as his name kind of suggests (even though it’s more of an homage to director Lars von Trier), or Hetfield was laughing enough in interviews for Hardwired… To Self Destruct to inspire this. Because laughter, laughter, all he hears or sees is laughter. Speaking of that, Lars von Retreiver also has “covers” of “Master of Puppets” and “St. Anger” featuring Hetfield laughing. Thanks internet!
