"Sad but True " is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica . It was released in February 1993 as the fifth and final single from their 1991 self-titled album . The music video for the single was released in October 1992.
Music
[ edit ]
"Sad but True" is in D Standard tuning, however the song was originally written and demoed in E Standard. Bob Rock , who produced The Black Album , recalled to Musicradar.com: "We were in pre-production, which was uncomfortable because nobody had ever made them go through their songs in such a deliberate way before, and six songs in 'Sad But True' came along. Suddenly, I realized that every song, including this one, was in the key of E. I brought this to the band's attention, and they said, 'Well, isn't E the lowest note?' So I told them that on Mötley Crüe's Dr. Feelgood [2]
Rock, Hetfield, and Ulrich are all credited as producers, and Randy Staub and his assistant, Mike Tacci.[3]
