Better than You (Metallica song)


"Better Than You" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It is the fifth track on their seventh album, Reload. The song was originally titled "Better". It won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, the band's fourth award in that category. The song is about somebody who's obsessed of the struggle to be better than somebody else. The band performed a jam of the song for the first time in London in 1995. The single cover features the same picture as the cover of Metallica's Cunning Stunts as well as on the final page of Reload. The song qualifies on all grounds, with lyrics full of festering resentment, and Hammett giving a lengthy solo.
