James, the fiercest metal frontman, meets Kristen, the girl that will shatter all his defenses and submit his heart, inspiring the most beautiful love song. I've always wondered about the mysterious girl behind Nothing Else Matters. There is not much information available, but Mike Wall in his Metallica biography: Enter Night, mentions Kristen Martinez as the girlfriend that James dated between the recording of And Justice For All and the Black Album (1987-1991), and to whom he says the song was written to, as the "only time James ever acknowledged publicly his feelings for her". Listen to the music that inspires it: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6lDaHJXe82jQjh292Zas4a?si=m2E1v0DFTM2qN2_Ud4Dz2g&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1 Just shuffle on it! So this detailed fiction is what my dirty-romantic imagination came up to fill the story I so want to now. But I must tell you, if you are looking for the average love story, this will be nothing of the sort!

Your appreciation is the only reward I get for working hard writing this. ;)
