MTV EUROPE Awards in 1996. Scroll down for full lyrics (Easily offended? Don’t!)
🤘The Guitars of James Hetfield: (Book) amzn.to/4cFo4lq
”James Hetfield shares his personal collection of treasured guitars and reveals the story and significance of each within his life and career as the front man, guitarist, and songwriter for Metallica”
Metallica at MTV Awards: ”MTV executives notified the band Metallica that expletives were prohibited during their live TV performance and they were not allowed to use pyro. The band was upset by this so the band disregarded performing their scheduled single "King Nothing" and played the non-TV friendly songs "Last Caress" and "So What?", songs that contain numerous expletives, and reference rape, murder and bestiality, respectively.
The result was the performance and any references to Metallica during the ceremony have been removed from future broadcasts of the ceremony. Metallica was banned from MTV (Europe Awards) for years following this act of rebellion.”

MISFITS - Last Caress Lyrics:
”I got something to say
I killed a baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
Well, I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as she's spread
Sweet lovely death
I am waiting for your breath
Oh, sweet death, one last caress”

ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE - So What? Lyrics:
”So fucking what?
Well I've been to Hastings
And I've been to Brighton
I've been to Eastbourne too
So what, so what?
Well I've been here
And I've been there
And I've been every fucking where
So what, so what!?
So what, so what you boring little fuck!
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you
Well I've fucked the queen
And I've smocked Bach
And I've even sucked an old man's cock
So what, so what?
And I've fucked a sheep
And I've fucked a goat
I've rammed my cock right down its throat
So what, so what?
So what, so what, you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you
Well I've fucked this
And I've fucked that
And I've even fucked a schoolgirl's twat
So what, so what!?
So what, so what you boring little fuck!
Who cares, who cares about you
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you....
Haha! SO FUCKING WHAT!”
Missing lyrics:
”Well I've drunk that
And I've drunk this
And I've spewed up on a pint of piss
So what, so what?
And I've had scanc
I've had speed
I've jacked up until I bleed
So what, so what!?
So what, so what you boring little cunt
Well who cares, who cares what you do
Who cares, who cares about you
You, you, you, you
Well I've had crabs
And I've had lice
And I've had the pox and that ain't nice
So what, so what? So fucking what?”

I was 17 when this aired. I had the VCR all set, ready to record what I thought was going to be a performance of "King Nothing" to add to my "MetallicA" video tape, which was footage from Headbangers Ball, etc. This performance was amazing! It was right in the midst and mist of Load polarizing opinion and judgement of the band. They had begun each night of their tour with So What, but it was the last thing you'd expect to see on live telly like this! This was MTV Europe aswell, which really was a different vibe from its US counterpart. The award show here featured Simply Red, The Fugees, Bryan Adams, etc. I was giddy and gobsmacked when Metallica then blasted and fucked their way thru Last Caress/So What. Nxt day in school , my mates and I were buzzing about it, rewatching the performance again and again after school. Love the memories.🤘

I remember as Robbie Williams (hosting the show) introduced Metallica, I hit "Record" on the VCR player. Back then, having clips, recorded footage like this was Gold. But, when Last Caress lashed out, I was surprised. Then So What swore itself into view, and I was utterly gobsmacked! I dont know if this ever got shown, covered on MTV in America, because this was from the Europe MTV. Id just seen them for the very first time a month before in Dublin. I was still on a High from it, so seeing this rowdy performance only continued the buzz.😁🤘👍

I was upstairs in my room looking at MTV, and when Robbie Williams begun to announce Metallica's imminant performance, I hurried downstairs to record it as it was all set up on the VCR to do so! I ran back upstairs and was over the moon with what Metallica were doing. It was incredible!! 😁 When they finished, downstairs I went, stopped the tape. My parents looked comically confused at the happy state of me whilst they were still watching their own programme.😁 A couple of my mates missed watching it, meaning Id lend them the videotape for them to see it!!!

When I met James this is one of the things we talked about, it came about as it was the time just after Live Earth at Wembley stadium, he asked if I was,there, I was like no, I only went to the Metallica Wembley show, so I watched Live Earth on tv, but they cut you off mid song on the live BBC broadcast in U.K. He laughed and said, well we were going to play So What! I laughed and said, really, that would have been brilliant, he goes, we have done it before on MTV, I said yeah, I watched that live it was fucking hilarious! Anyway that night they played So What! I like to think our chat inspired him to play it that night, as they rarely play it. 5th June 2008 was the date.

If it wasn’t for MTV I probably wouldn’t have gotten into Metallica. I was around 13 when I stumbled across the Until It Sleeps video one morning as I was getting ready for school. I was like “huh, so this is Metallica? Pretty interesting.” A couple weeks later my mom and I were at a music store (remember those???) and she said I could pick out a CD. I saw Load there sitting in the shelf and figured I’d give it a shot. I wasn’t even sure my mom would agree to buy it because she was always so reserved and proper. She listened to stuff like Journey, Michael Jackson, Boys to Men, John Secada…stuff like that. When she saw my choice she kind of seemed surprised and asked if I was sure because it was nothing like any of the music we listened to at home. I told her I heard a song from it on TV and liked it so she agreed and we went home. I played it on my little CD player and she stopped by my room to listen to it. Honestly, I wasn’t really vibing with it but I didn’t want her to know because she had spent money on it for me. The only song I cared for was Until It Sleeps, the rest were just not really appealing to me. After she listened to it a bit she made some kind of remark about how it was interesting but she didn’t seem too impressed. A short while after that she came back into my room with a box full of a bunch of old cassette tapes that I had never seen before. She rummaged around in it for a few seconds and then pulled out a tape. She read the tracks listed in small print on the side of the cassette and then held it out. “Listen to the track called ‘One,’” she said as I took the tape from her. My CD player also played cassette tapes and had a nifty seek feature so I was quickly able to fast forward to the track. As the sounds of quiet gunfire slowly faded out and an clean guitar started playing she nodded her head, confirmed that was the song she was thinking of, and then left my room, emphasizing that I needed to listen to the entire song. I was a fan almost overnight. There was a dude named Matt in my English class that was like the only rocker in my school, and he was always wearing Metallica shirts. Through him I learned about the band and their albums. I was totally a Lightning and Puppets fanatic back then and taught myself guitar so that I could jam along with my CDs. I did eventually come to appreciate the Load/Reload albums over the years as I got older and although they aren’t my favorites I still look back at this era with fondness because it reminds me of how my lifelong love for the band started 😊

👍I saw them in Dublin the same time, the Load tour, October '96. Without social media or mass internet use in general, the crowd as y'know yerself were gobsmacked that the band strutted up onto the stage with the lights still on. It was utterly surreal. No intro to get ready. Just there at the moment. So What was a fantastic opener! A terrific Fuck Off to the abuse flung at them for cutting their hair, changing too much, or whatever else people disagreed with. That tour won everyone over! The Finale: Nobody saw it comin'. The magazines didnt mention it, keeping things secret. So when the place "fell down" with flaming roadies and the band legging it offstage, the arena fell silent thinking something shit had happened!! They really put on a fantastic tour that time. Everything from So What's bullish defiance to staging the accident onstage to the cover set at the end with the small lights dangling, asthough its back in the Garage.

I saw Skid Row at Wembley, the local Brent Council banned them from singing Get The Fuck Out, Seb wiped his ass with the letter from the council and they sang it twice! 😂

Rage Against the Machine playing Killing in the Name on BBC radio was pretty awesome too. Especially the idea of trying to convince a band with their name to do that.

Were they banned from the VMAs? They were still given specials on MTV in 1997, like the Mtv Metallica Bootleg show

I saw this live. It was airing in America at like 2am, from Europe. I was watching Metallica. Most of the set was a long bleep sound. I was confused, thinking I couldn't believe they let Metallica play that. Then I found out they didn't.
