Number 2...

In the Rockumentary for the 'untitled Sandman album' from Metallica, Lars Ulrich, the drummer, said that the album had no title because it has no real theme which is way off. The theme is war and individual messages of experiences and lessons in war which corresponds to the title. Explain...
It is very obvious that the theme is war that many miss it just like the American Revolution symbol of the Texas Rattlesnake with the buck teeth fangs giving the 'W' for War which is the theme of the album with each song individual perspectives and more. Lars Ulrich focused more on the music while James Hettfield on the lyrics meaning Lars answered the theme question indirectly without stepping on the fans toes. Of course, the ballad not originally planned as a part of the album was the exception (lyrics-music focus) 'Nothing Else Matters' which explains why the subtitle was used as main title (I Know) and the missing U-W song accent which is strikingly available in all titles except 'Enter Sandman' with dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons fire, and of things that will bite (the knight in the night).

Rapper's Delight from The Sugarhill Gang
Rapture from Blondie
...neither of which is the first unofficial...

Definitely fascinating. I'd also like to inquire what it was like riding to the one room schoolhouse on horseback everyday and your thoughts on how the telephone changed society:)...(rimshot) I've got a million of these....I know, I know, get off my lawn...lol:)
