[es] Fuel (canción)

«Fuel» (en español: «Combustible») es la primera canción del disco ReLoad de Metallica. La letra de la canción habla acerca de los peligros de la conducción temeraria, aunque también puede aplicarse a aquellas personas que conducen muy rápido sus vidas. Es una de las canciones favoritas del vocalista de la banda, James Hetfield, tal y como dijo en el documental de la banda, Some Kind of Monster. Otra interpretación de la canción afirma que su letra trata de la adicción hacia el alcohol del propio Hetfield, aunque puede referirse a cualquier adicción. Sin embargo, esto no son más que especulaciones, ya que ningún miembro de la banda ha declarado cuál es el significado de la canción.
