METALLICA's smash hit "Enter Sandman" is featured in the video teaser for MV Agusta's upcoming Dragster 800 motorcycle. Check it out below. The Dragster, which is expected to be unveiled in February, is reportedly built on the Rivale 800 platform, and is the fifth motorcycle in MV Agusta's lineup to feature the 125-horsepower 798cc triple, which also powers the Brutale 800, the F3 800, Rivale 800 and the Turismo Veloce. It will reportedly cost under $15,000. "Enter Sandman" was featured as the opening track and lead single from METALLICA's eponymous 1991 album. The song was produced by Bob Rock, and the music was written by Kirk Hammett, Lars Ulrich, and James Hetfield. Vocalist and guitarist Hetfield wrote the lyrics, which deal with the simplest concept of a child's nightmares. The "Enter Sandman" single was certified gold in the United States for sales in excess of 500,000 copies. Acclaimed by critics, the song is featured on all of METALLICA's live albums and DVDs released after 1991 and has been played live at award ceremonies and benefit concerts. It is considered to be METALLICA's signature song to the general public. METALLICA's self-titled "black album" has sold more than 16 million copies in the U.S., according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
