Metallica performs “Turn the Page” live on the Howard Stern Show. Drummer Lars Ulrich explained that he heard the song and immediately knew James Hetfield could do it justice.
“I was driving across the Golden Gate Bridge up in San Francisco and I heard the live version of Turn the Page and I could just hear James singing that. The first thing that popped out was just James would fucking nail this vocally and just the lyric element, I think it felt like it would speak on his behalf and to the situation that we were in…and there was just something about the vocals.”
