A hero is someone who demonstrates resilience in the face of adversity. In the song ‘hero of the day,’ Metallica speaks to people who face challenges that try to break them, as they seek redemption and strength, just like the firefighter who rescued a family from a house fire. Directed by Anton Corbijn, this music video follows a drug-addicted teen watching his television set all day, switching between Western movies with Hetfield and Ulrich in cowboy suits, boxing matches, game shows, and more, each featuring members of the band. The track is featured on the upcoming reissue of the 1996 album Load.
