commentary can make a video seem much more intriguing than it actually is, even when it fails to mention the booty call at 2:35.
Music video
The music video for this song was directed by Anton Corbijn and features a drug-addled youth watching a television, with every channel featuring Metallica in some way. A Western movie titled Load is featured, starring Newsted and Hetfield, followed by a boxing match with Hetfield as coach, Newsted as the referee, and Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett as the fighters. After a drink called "Load" is advertised by Ulrich and Hetfield in matching suits, a game show called "Hero of the Day" is seen being played, hosted by Newsted with Hammett, Ulrich and Hetfield as contestants (with Hetfield eventually winning). Then, it cuts to the news with the anchorman played by Hammett and featuring a clip of Hetfield singing the lyrics to the song. At the end, the youth passes out and dreams of tiny robot creatures, rendered in stop motion, emerging from his ear. He awakes from the dream and vomits into his toilet.[1]
