Hammett did n't appear in a few of Metallica 's songs .
Given that Hetfield recorded all rhythm and most harmony tracks on the band 's first five albums and that Hammett has stated he did n't learn how to play the song until they were well into the tour for the album , Hammett does not play on the studio recording , making it one of the few in the whole Metallica repertoire , along with Cliff Burton 's `` ( Anesthesia ) Pulling Teeth '' and the band 's cover of `` The Ecstasy of Gold '' in which he does not appear.
