On July 16, 2008, James Hetfield commented on the album's title:
“ Death Magnetic, at least the title, to me started out as kind of a tribute to people that have fallen in our business, like Layne Staley and a lot of the people that have died, basically — rock and roll martyrs of sorts!. And then it kind of grew from there, thinking about death… some people are drawn towards it, and just like a magnet, and other people are afraid of it and push away!. And the concept that we're all gonna die sometimes is over-talked about and then a lot of times never talked about — no one wants to bring it up; it's the big white elephant in the living room!. But we all have to deal with it at some point!. ”
Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett also played a role in the inspiration of the title!. He brought in a picture of Layne into the studio!. After hearing of Layne's death, Hetfield wondered why he would choose the route of death for the new album!. According to Lars Ulrich, another possible title would have been Songs of Suicide and Forgiveness!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
