In a 2019 conversation with Monster Children, Dando opened up about why he enjoys performing cover songs. Poring over interviews with Dando from the last couple of decades, there is no indication that he's a big Metallica fan or a fan of Ride the Lightning or "Fade to Black." There doesn't seem to be any record of his time on Radio Rock FM either, other than this cover.ĭando is no stranger to covering other people's songs, though. The B-Side featured two other covers: "Live Forever," originally on Oasis' 1994 album, Definitely Maybe, and "Keep On Loving You," originally on REO Speedwagon's 1980 album, Hi Infidelity.įor whatever reason, though, the Metallica cover is shrouded in a bit of mystery. The lack of information is a bit peculiar because this particular cover wasn't necessarily a private thing Dando shared with a small audience The Lemonheads included it as the second track on the A-Side of their single for " It's All True" from The Lemonheads' seventh studio LP, Car Button Cloth. That is why I made this cover.There isn't much out there about this cover or about Dando's appearance on Radio Rock FM in 1996. Recently, I found myself watching the new Metallica movie with Sal and it all came flooding back. I learned the Fade To Black intro and began my musical journey. From that day on I couldn't get enough of the guitar. Once the breakdown started, and I heard my first palm muted distorted strings, I was changed forever. I found myself getting sucked deeper and deeper into the abyss of sound. I was reluctant to listen but it was his house after all so I let it go. We were doing math homework and he put his Metallica "Ride The Lightning" cassette tape on his silver boombox. It wasn't till I moved to San Antonio Texas that my best friend Sal Perales finally got me into rock.
All I listened to was Snoop Dog, gangsta music, and electric funk. A solo guitar cover of Metallica's Fade To Black.īack in high school I was originally anti-rock.
