‘hero of the day’ is a song that came from Metallica’s 1996 album ‘Load.’ The band teamed up with filmmaker Anton Corbijn for the video, which follows a drug-addled teen as he watches his television set all day long. From a western movie starring Hetfield and Ulrich to a boxing match with Hetfield as coach to a game show where Hetfield is the host, each program has Metallica in some way involved. The video also stars a girl the teen meets at his house.
