AVI BINUR: MERCY GATE בָּרוּךְ הַשֵׁם
“When we were recording the Black album, I was listening to this band that was on this Independent Record Label and I was really into their first album and I sat down with the singer and his name is Kurt and he said that one of his favorite albums was ‘Ride the Lightning’ and one of his favorite Metallica songs was ‘Whiplash’ and, you know, right after we finished recording the Black album, you know, Kurt put out an album called ‘Nevermind’ and then, all of a sudden, Grunge was everywhere. Kurt was a Big Metallica fan and he loved ‘Ride the Lightning’ and he loved ‘Whiplash’ and I could remember when we played it in Seattle in, I think it was 1992, Kurt came to the show and he was in the Snake Pit, you know ~ our little area on the stage ~ and I remember the entire time that we were playing, he kept on waving his arms at mi, and, you know, I went over there to see what he had to say, you know, ‘cause I could actually hear what he’s saying in between songs and his one question to me was, “Are you guys gonna play ‘Whiplash’ Tonight?” lol and we did: we played ‘Whiplash’ and he was just loving it.” ~ Kirk Hammett
