Among the most famous musicians of today, Motionless In White singer, Chris Motionless is known for his Metallica fandom and respect for the singer’s genre. During a recent on-AirWired RadioActive Mike Z chat with KCAL 96.7 Wired, he was invited to share which classic Metallica song he asks the band to cover.
“I would absolutely do my favorite Metallica song ever, which is ‘The Shortest Straw’ from …And Justice for All,” says Motionless. “That is, in my opinion, one of the more angrier, if not the angriest Metallica song.”
The singer goes on to add, “In my opinion, [that is] their darkest, heaviest, most angry record. But that song, to me, just has some sort of aggressiveness that just sunk its teeth into me. It’s my favorite, and I would love to cover it.”
Motionless has no problem playing covers of Metallica’s “My Friend of Misery.” In 2015, he played in the compilation for Kerrang! magazine’s tribute to Metallica’s Black Album.
While Motionless has found his reverence for Metallica, Motionless in White created a career with their own merit that continues to amaze people today. Motionless in White is currently on the Trinity of Terror Tour featuring Black Veil Brides, Motionless In White & Ice Nine Kills. For more info, visit here.

I love music. I love crowded venues, loud music, and sweat-soaked fans. I love the sound of a venue opening its doors to the public.
Hey there! I have a wealth of experience in the entertainment and private event industries, having worked in various roles over the past 20 years. I have a private security background and have received training in defensive strategy, Krav Maga, festival security planning, and emergency response. I've worked at some fantastic concert venues and festivals, such as Emo's East, Stubb's, ACL Festival, Bonnaroo, and SXSW. I've also been fortunate to work in the box office for the Circuit of the Americas and the Germania Music Amphitheater music venue.
In 2014, I developed a passion for all things media-related and began exploring content creation and concert photography opportunities. I have no formal training in these areas, but in 2017, I decided to take it to the next level by pursuing a degree in the arts, specifically in radio, television, and film. I am currently a multimedia journalist for the student life department at ACC. I have received a scholarship from the Austin Film Society.
I've been blessed to have been mentored as a talent buyer under the legendary Mark Lee of 462 Concerts (now known as Live Nation) in Dallas, Tx, for nearly a decade. I've also had the opportunity to work as a camera operator for the Full Moon Features Puppetmaster sequel: Doktor Death and filmed multiple music videos, including SSB's feature single with Bernz, "Insane," and the Dirty Wormz dub hop single with Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko "2INCH REEL KILLA".
I truly believe in capturing the essence of life and representing it in a creative effort. Overall I'm passionate about my work and excited to share my experience and skills with others.
