A live version was released as B-side to the single " The Unforgiven II". The band, with Marianne Faithfull, performed the song on the December 6, 1997, edition of Saturday Night Live. The song's demo was also called "Memory" and was recorded in Lars Ulrich's home musical studio "Dungeon" on March 6, 1995, (take 1) and Ma(take 2). It is also used as one of the theme songs for WrestleMania XXVIII.Īsked if he would have bought Reload, bassist Jason Newsted said, "Not if I heard 'The Memory Remains' first." It can be heard playing in the strip club Bada Bing! in the episode of The Sopranos, " The Knight in White Satin Armor". The song was written by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The spoken words "Say yes, at least say hello", during the outro, are a reference to The Misfits, the last complete movie in which Marilyn Monroe starred. Faithfull was brought in, as James Hetfield felt her "weathered, smellin'-the-cigarettes-on-the-CD voice" fit what he described as "the whole eeriness of the Sunset Boulevard-feel of the song", given the lyrics tell the story of a faded artist who goes insane from losing her fame. The lead single from Metallica's seventh studio album, Reload, released in 1997, it was first performed live in a "jam" version on July 2, 1996. " The Memory Remains" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica, with British singer Marianne Faithfull on backing vocals.
