Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration. Forums : The News Room : This May Be the Best Met. As previously discussed back when we posted that one video with the lipreading , it's fascinating how easily your brain can be fooled into thinking what it's seeing is what it's hearing (and vice versa). Sure, we all know that Metallica doesn't play smooth jazz, and the only thing that stays constant between the real version of "Enter Sandman" and this cover version is James Hetfield's singing... but it doesn't make it any less amusing when overlaid on a video of the band actually performing the song live. In fact, the timing being what it is, you'd almost be forgiven if you thought this was what the live performance sounded like. Almost. Galactic Empire State of Mind at Kontraband.
