Metallica took a massive leap, both creatively and commercially, with their 1991 self-titled LP, better known as the "Black Album." On the back of iconic singles “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Wherever I May Roam” and “Sad but True," it continues to outsell major new releases every week and stands as one of the best-selling albums of all time of any genre. In honor of the record's 30th anniversary, here are 10 things you likely didn't know about the smash LP — from the hit song that wasn't even meant for the album, to the key participants who never wanted to work together again.
