Metallica's Enter Sandman - Instrumental?

[Angel Tarragon]

I have a video project I'd like to do, and as I listen to Metallica this morning I realize that Enter Sandman has the perfect rhythym and tempo for it. But the words don't fit.

Anyone know if there is an instrumental of it? If so, where can I get it?

Isn't the S&M version instramental? (been awhile since I listened to it, so I could be wrong.)

I don't know, I don't have it.

Here's a link to Amazon where you can buy a MP3 instrumental version. It's a tribute so it's not actually Metallica playing.

The Metallica S&M version is not instrumental.

Edit: There is also an instrumental tribute version on the CD Apocalyptica Plays Metallica by Four Cellos.

As the title implies this version is played on 4 cellos.

I don't think they did Enter Sandman, but they did do a number of other Metallica hits that sound really, really good when played by a String Quartet.

The only one on S&M that's purely instrumental is "Call of Ktulu", IIRC, though they get a good ways into "Master of Puppets" before speaking.

Well considering The Call of Ktulu is an instramental piece in the first place, it would be quite a shocker if it were not so on S&M.

And The Call of Ktulu is one of the best songs on S&M because it stayed instramental. Heck the only way S&M could have been better would to have had all "S" and no "M"

IMHO Apocalyptica is a real 'must have'.
