“Eye of the Beholder” is a song by the American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released on October 30, 1988, as the second single from their fourth studio album, …And Justice for All.
The song has not been performed live in its entirety since 1989. It has, however, always formed part of the medleys of songs from …And Justice for All often played by the band in concert during the 1990s as an alternative to playing full songs, many of which were seen as too difficult because of the numerous guitar parts. One such “Justice Medley” was featured on its 1993 live album Live Shit: Binge & Purge.
In a September 2020 interview with Vulture.com, Lars Ulrich stated that he’s “not a fan of that song” and that he wouldn’t want to hear it again.
