Michael Kamen
Michael Kamen, the man behind my all-time favorite music album, has died.I love the combination of rock and orchestra, and he did just that. In 1999, the Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony, under the direction of Kamen, collaborated to make a two-disc album titled "S&M." The result is nothing short of brilliance, and I've been listening to the album ever since. I don't know how many times I've heard James Hetfield say, "Michael Kamen at the helm!" at the end of the album, as cheers erupt in the background.
He worked on so many other amazing songs, albums and movie soundtracks that have all stood the test of time. Farewell, Michael Kamen.
