“Aint My Bitch” by Metallica appears on 5 radio countdowns from 3 stations between 1997 and 2002. It was first released in 1996 on the album Load. Its best result is #9 on the KEGL The Eagle's Top 97 Songs of 1997. In the combined RockLists rankings it is #4,807 alternative song of all time.
"Ain't My Bitch" throws open Load, Metallica's sixth album, from 1996. James Hetfield wrote it, with Lars Ulrich sharing the music credit, and the pair produced it with Bob Rock. There's Southern rock and alternative rock in its swagger, and the guitar solo takes a detour into country. Hetfield sings and plays guitar alongside Kirk Hammett, with Jason Newsted on bass and Ulrich on drums, and Randy Staub recorded and mixed it.
It went out as a promo single in Mexico, yet the only chart it touched was American: No. 15 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock list. Onstage it was another story. It became a fixture of the Poor Touring Me world tour, then dropped out of the set after 1998.
