All]] both titled "Fight Fire With Fire" and "Blackened". The song begins with a clean acoustic guitar introduction before drums and bass come in with distorted guitars playing a more melodic version. Then the guitars cut into a very fast thrash metal riff which is the base for the rest of the song.
The theme of the song is about the San Francisco thrash scene in the 1980s. The most prominent club played by Metallica was the Old Waldorf located at 444 Battery Street in downtown San Francisco. The lyric "Cannot kill the family, Battery is found in me" is a statement that society doesn't understand the scene, those within it ("the family") will defend it as a show of solidarity against the glam metal scene that was popular in the Los Angeles area. The tone of the song is of familial ties and the positive release of energy through interest of metal.
James Hetfield improvised the riff while relaxing in London.[2]
