"Don't Tread on Me" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica, from the eponymous fifth album, Metallica. The title is connected with the American Revolutionary War. The words "Don't Tread on Me" constitute the motto of the Gadsden flag, and the snake image on the flag is pictured on the cover of the album.
The instrumental introduction uses an eight bar phrase from "America", a popular song from the musical and film West Side Story. It is in a moderate tempo of 104 bpm in a 12/8 time signature except for the 6/8 intro and 18/8 in the second half of the guitar solo. The lyrics reference American Revolutionary Patrick Henry's quote "give me liberty or give me death" with the line "liberty or death, what we so proudly hail". The lyric, "To secure peace, is to prepare for war" refers to the Latin adage, Si vis pacem, para bellum ("If you want peace, prepare [for] a war"). The lyrics containing rattlesnake imagery are inspired by Benjamin Franklin's essay suggesting the rattlesnake is a good symbol for the American Spirit.
"Don't Tread on Me" is the first single by the group 311 from their album of the same name. The single, an original composition written by the band's members, was released in 2005. It became their seventh top-five hit on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart.
Don't Tread on Me is the eighth studio album by 311, which was released on August 16, 2005. The first single, "Don't Tread On Me", was released to radio on July 26, 2005. It peaked at #2 on the BillboardModern Rock Tracks and #1 on the R&R Panel Alternative chart. The second single, "Speak Easy", was released on November 22, 2005 and a third "Frolic Room", was released on June 13, 2006.
Don't Tread on Me debuted and peaked at #5 on the Billboard 200, selling 91,000 copies in its first week of release. Despite the success of the leadoff single, the album, like its predecessor Evolver, has yet to receive an RIAA certification.
