During a conversation with Louder Sound, Warlock singer Doro Pesch talked about Metallica’s 1984 sophomore album “Ride the Lightning,” praising frontman James Hetfield and his performance on the record.
The musician said:
“I love James Hetfield’s vocals on this. I recall that it was about this time a lot of people were urging Metallica to get a new singer.
“But I always defended his vocals, because they worked so well with the material. He is so real and authentic and has lots of charisma.
“When I first saw him I must admit to being a little in love with James, and I did get to know him quite well. But nothing ever happened between us! I simply admire him as a singer and live performer.”
