Review: The Grand Rapids Press
by John Sinkevics

Music reviewer's take on his first Metallica concert? Beautifully brutal

Does it get any heavier than this?

I think not.

Oh, AC/DC might have played its overly redundant hard-rock strains a smidgen louder at Van Andel Arena a few months ago. Maybe.

And any number of death metal bands get darker and scarier in their delivery. (The scariest thing I saw at the arena Monday night was the paunchy tattooed guy who decided to take his shirt off midway through the show.)

Megadeth and Machine Head certainly will try to prove they're thrashier when they batter the Orbit Room this Saturday.

But I doubt there's any band on Earth -- or even any alien guitar-shredders elsewhere in the solar system -- that can play heavier or more convincingly in an arena setting than the reigning king of the metal mountain, Metallica.

You certainly couldn't convince the 12,000 Metallica mavens at Monday night's sold-out Van Andel Arena show otherwise, as they ecstatically sang and thrust their arms to "Sad But True," and batted giant black balloons back and forth during the band's encore-closing rendition of "Seek & Destroy."

"We're here to make you feel better, all right?" lead singer and rhythm guitarist James Hetfield asserted early in an evening that saw the band unleash a half-dozen songs from its most recent album, "Death Magnetic," starting with "That Was Just Your Life."

Well, this iconic band did just that, treating fans to a perfectly paced metal show.

The 18-song set mixed new classics ("The Day That Never Comes") with old standards ("Enter the Sandman," "Master of Puppets") and a couple of sort-of-rarities ("Hit the Lights," a cover of Killing Joke's "The Wait"), with the band playing on a stage in the middle of the arena -- a stage illuminated, in part, by casket-shaped light fixtures.

Because I was entering Metallica's thrash-aganza for the first time Monday, head-banging Press film critic John Serba guided me through this incendiary experience with some standard pre-show recommendations: wear black, wear industrial-strength earplugs, wear out copies of "Master of Puppets" and "Metallica" ahead of time to get accustomed to the thundering music.

(I even watched "Anvil! The Story of Anvil," a documentary about a long-suffering Canadian heavy metal band's travails in which one ultra-dedicated fan declares: "It's a good outlet, metal." That same fan then guzzles a beer through his nose. Thankfully, I didn't see anything quite like that Monday, though the beer certainly was flowing.)

None of that matters, because nothing can really prepare a greenhorn for the beautifully brutal two-hours-plus assault of James Hetfield's vocal zeal and combustible rhythm guitar work meshed with Kirk Hammett's Roadrunner lead licks, Robert Trujillo's blistering bass lines and Lars Ulrich's enthusiastic drumming (even if he sometimes seems to try too hard to be noticed).

Granted, Denmark's Volbeat, with its unusual Social Distortion-tinged rock, and Virginia's Lamb of God did try to warm things up with their own less-compelling version of thrash metal.


But I soon discovered that Metallica is a live experience unlike any other in the metal universe, partly because this band appeals to such a broad audience with fist-pumping appeal and chest-rattling goodness. Compared to most metal bands, Metallica is more melodic, plays catchier riffs and avoids the guttural vocal roar that makes some outfits laughable.

And on their third visit to Van Andel Arena, the members of Metallica once again displayed a respectful, grateful attitude toward their fans while cranking out powerful versions of "Cyanide," "My Apocalypse" and "Broken, Beat and Scarred" with the energy of a runaway locomotive.

Interviewed for that aforementioned documentary, Ulrich said Canada's Anvil was influential in the early '80s because it was "a full-on metal band."

Well, as the encore-ending strains of "Seek & Destroy" reverberated through the arena and my eardrums Monday, it seemed apparent that -- 28 years into its reign -- Metallica still has dominion over all "full-on" metal bands.

We're "flying the flag for heavy music," Hetfield declared at one point. "Metallica gives you heavy."

Review: Ottawa Citizen
by Shawn Jam Hill

Ottawa waves a metallic flag on high

Nineteen thousand, one hundred people officially streamed into Scotiabank Place Tuesday night for an unforgettable evening of metal madness.

Young punkers sporting brand new metal gear were seen side by each, with grizzled vets bellying up to the bar. Metallica brings people together and their hirsute headmaster James Hetfield would not have it any other way.

As a piped-in acoustic intro gave way to drummer Lars Ulrich's cymbal massaging, the band ripped into That Was Just Your Life from Death Magnetic, the band's 2008 grab at the thrash throne. Replete with extreme lasers and a stage set in the round, Metallica were poised to capture the audience's adulation.

The hits kept coming.

Creeping Death, a standout from 1984's Ride The Lightning, revelled in a twin guitar freak-out as lead axeman Kirk Hammett strutted his stuff about the oddly shaped stage, while bass behemoth Robert Trujillo stalked the arena like a cheetah scenting prey. The Tim Burton-esque live setup featured eerie coffins filled with lights that descended as the boys leaned into a savage take on Sad But True (from their 1991 self-titled opus), but the huge pyrotechnics, replete with multi-coloured flames shooting out of the stage, were reserved for a bloated version of One distended by too much atmospheric wankery.

Master Of Puppets was shredded dead on - it was abundantly clear California's pre-eminent thrash export know a thing about the heavy.

"That made me feel good!" exclaimed Hetfield after a rousing rendition of the hyper-kinetic Battery, a song all the young dudes want to air-guitar slay. Enter Sandman, full of post-grunge bravado, sent the Bank into a frenzy of equal parts nostalgia and fist pumping. The pyro during closer Motorbreath warmed the cheeks and compelled the six-foot Trujillo to wildly swing his axe with abandon as Hetfield & Co. riffed out into the sunset.

Openers Lamb Of God seized the stage with their caustic take on true metal. Lead salvo Set To Fail flayed the eardrums with punishing breakdowns and Randy Blythe's signature howl, a cross between a demented wolverine and an injured lynx. As LoG plowed through whiplash riffology, they exemplified Southern metal at its finest. "It's been a long 15 years," quipped Blythe, "But it's the first time we played Ottawa!" As the crowd roared, some local wit threw a banner up on stage that said "Thanks, Eh!"

The band loved it, the crowd swooned and metal found a place in our staid government town Tuesday night.

As one young lady yowled on the bus ride home (I am an environmental metalhead!) "I wish every bus ride was a Metallica bus ride!"

Amen.

Review: Toronto Sun based on night 1
by Jason MacNeil

Metallica raises bar at ACC

Nearly 30 years later, Metallica still have thousands of fans willing to obey them as metal masters.

The Los Angeles quartet kicked off another round of North American dates with a sold-out show (the first of two) Monday night at Toronto's Air Canada Centre as part of its ongoing World Magnetic Tour. And thankfully for most of the over two-hour concert, that mutual attraction between band and audience was quite apparent.

Working with a large rectangular stage located in the middle of the floor for an "in the round" feel, Metallica walked out to their signature intro The Ecstasy Of Gold before launching headstrong into the punishing That Was Just Your Life off last year's album Death Magnet.

The song also showcased how lasers and not explosions were to be the eye candy for a large part of the night, looking a bit odd but effective more often than not. Eight large lighting rigs resembling coffins also hung high above the stage, with four of them occasionally rising and lowering, resembling Spinal Tap's Stonehenge prop only with the proper measurements.

"Metallica, Toronto. Toronto, Metallica," lead singer/guitarist James Hetfield said following the meaty The End Of The Line. The performer, who seemed happy with the crowd's energy, routinely pumped his fist which the predominantly testosterone-teeming onlookers aped.

Perhaps what worked better this go around as opposed to their previous tour behind 2003's St. Anger was how the new material meshed with the older nuggets such as Ride The Lightning and the plodding Sad But True. This was especially true of the one-two combination of Broken, Beat & Scarred and Cyanide, the former a solid rock tune fuelled by guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo.

Not to be outdone - and not timid when leaving his drum kit and showing his happiness at completing each number - drummer Lars Ulrich kept things on the rails in the centre of the stage. He also managed to give Trujillo the devil-horn salute during Fight Fire With Fire without missing a beat.

Of the 18 songs the band dished out, the first big highlight was for One, the lengthy winding track that concluded with flames and huge fireballs coming up from the stage for the powerful rat-a-tat-tat middle and conclusion.

After a rather ordinary The Day That Never Comes, Metallica raised the bar with Master Of Puppets as Hetfield let fans sing the lead vocals while he paced the stage, moving from one microphone to another as he often did for each track.

While Metallica still have a lot to give, the fact that a band rooted in such relentless riffs makes each tour and each passing year a bit tougher to deliver the goods. And teleprompters were seen in front of the microphones, occasionally scrolling lyrics to the newer tunes.

Sun rating: 4 out of 5

Review: Toronto Star
by Ben Raynor

Metallica shines with a new-old mix

Give Metallica credit: The guys seem genuinely pleased to be back in their fans' good books after that whole St. Anger debacle and the rest of their turn-of-the-millennium "wilderness years."

Witness the stage setup they finally brought to the Air Canada Centre Monday night on the first of two local stops (there's another tonight, similarly sold out) on their seemingly endless World Magnetic tour, the centrepiece of which was a massive, nearly arena bowl-sized in-the-round setup - anchored, naturally, by a rotating Lars Ulrich drumkit on risers - that democratically gave each of the 20,000 paying customers equal face time with each member as they scurried to and fro about the floor.

Witness the set list, too, which gave as much prominence to last year's long-overdue return to classic form, Death Magnetic, as it did to such stampeding golden-age juggernauts as "Master of Puppets," "Sad But True" and an apocalyptic "One" conducted amidst a blazing Iraqi oilfield's worth of explosive pyro. After all but ignoring the dodgy studio records that preceded it on the past few tours, Metallica seemed to be making a point of getting behind its new material - new material that finally sounds the way fans have long wished Metallica would sound again.

Granted, it's been long enough now that the initial thrill of Death Magnetic has worn off and its less forced and scientific ancestors have rightfully reassumed their places in our Metallica listening diet. This meant, basically, that while the new stuff didn't sound bad, those of us in the slightly more lapsed camp of fanhood had a hard time distinguishing "Cyanide" apart from "That Was Just Your Life" and the rest, although "The Day That Never Comes" stood out as reasonably epic. For us, it was a bit more exciting to hear Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo (still the new kid after more than six years on bass) digging particularly deep into 1984's Ride the Lightning, with the title track, "Fight Fire With Fire" and "Fade to Black" all making their presences felt with satisfying violence in the set list.

Metallica's generous set design came with a price, mind you. Giving everyone a decent seat in the house unfortunately means little when it involves pinning the P.A. in the red and firing thunderous noise off in every direction at once at the walls and roof of a concrete-and-aluminum shell. The sound in the media box was abysmal, as it always is at the ACC, but there were a lot of seats up near the rafters at a similar height that also got little but a two-hour earful of echo-fraught double-kick drumming, half-heard vocals and deafening crowd noise for their dollars. No one seemed to care, but it shouldn't take half a tune to figure out what one of your favourite metal bands is playing, y'know?

Review: The Plain Dealer
by John Soeder

Metallica's Rock and Roll Hall of Famers hold tight to a heavy-metal dream in skull-rattling concert at The Q

"This is living proof that it is possible to make a dream come true," Metallica singer-guitarist James Heftield said during his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

Six months after this indefatigable heavy-metal group was ushered into the Rock Hall during a ceremony at Public Auditorium, Metallica returned to Cleveland for a triumphant performance Thursday evening at The Q.

It was clear that Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett, bassist Robert Trujillo and drummer Lars Ulrich were still living the ultimate headbanging dream. And loving every minute of it, from the ferocious opener "That Was Just Your Life" to the chugging finale of "Seek & Destroy." They bashed out the latter song (from the band's 1983 debut, "Kill 'Em All") with the house lights up, while 16,000-plus concertgoers sang along and tossed black Metallica beach balls.

Their hard-rocking heroes are in their mid-40s now, but they maintained a relentless pace for more than two hours, attacking the physically demanding material with youthful vigor.

When Hetfield, Hammett and Trujillo traded licks side by side in the middle of "Broken, Beat & Scarred," they grinned like kids jamming in a garage. As for Ulrich, it was all he could do to stay in his seat as he kept those heart-attack beats coming all night.

There isn't a tighter band on the planet at the moment. Or a more appreciative one.

Time and again, the gruff-voiced Hetfield thanked Metallica's "family" of fans. A flame-belching stage in the middle of the arena made for maximum interaction between the musicians and the audience, with both parties feeding off each other's energy.

Amid time-tested favorites such as "Master of Puppets" and "Enter Sandman," the set list reached back to 1988's ". . . And Justice for All" album for "Dyers Eve," a breakneck rarity. Just to be safe, its arrangement was delineated on cheat sheets taped to the stage.

Metallica also played no fewer than six tunes off its latest album, the chart-topping "Death Magnetic."

Too bad "The Day that Never Comes" was marred by a faulty PA system. After Hetfield abruptly stopped mid-song to confer with the crew, a couple of technicians were quickly dispatched to the rafters. Moments later, the sound was back at full skull-rattling strength.

Rather than ruin the momentum, the glitch only made Hetfield & Co. play with all the more intensity as they roared toward the finish line. A three-song encore commenced with a lively cover of "Last Caress" by one of Metallica's influences, the Misfits.

"Cleveland makes Metallica feel good," Hetfield told the crowd.

Ditto, dude.

Review: St. Pete Times
by Sean Daly

Metallica's death-defying tradition is upheld

Metallica has been unleashing its death "n' destruction brigade for almost three decades, which is ironic for a band obsessed with, well, death "n' destruction. The thrash-metal leviathans have lost members due to defection and tragedy. They've waged battles both legal and psychological. They dig cyanide.

And yet, at their raging, roiling core, the San Francisco-based four are survivors, hellbent on living life loud and fast - but living nonetheless.

So although the band's stage in the middle of the St. Pete Times Forum Saturday was lit with rigs encased in giant coffins, the message Metallica growled to a sold-out crowd of 20,351 was one of resilience.

Everyone gets out of here alive %u2026 if desperate for a hearing specialist.

Touring behind latest album Death Magnetic, Metallica excelled at ferocity, the ear-meltier the better. Drummer Lars Ulrich was a master of the Uzi beat, and singer James Hetfield, stalking to various microphones so everyone could get a good look at his creepiness was like a carnival barker of the damned.

"Tampa," the 46-year-old Hetfield said, "we are here to kick your a--."

Opening with the new That Was Just Your Life, the tireless band played amidst a swirl of purple, green and red lasers. Chaos, but cool. Then the lights came up, and there they were - and when I say "they," I mean the shirtless moshers beating the tar out of each other %u2026 and then high-fiving afterward.

For The End of the Line, bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett took crouched positions, as if firing on the enemy. The band dusted off 1991's intense Through the Never. They hit the pyro button for One, which featured a ringing, and downright beautiful, solo from Hammett.

Metallica showed its love for fans by bludgeoning them for more than two hours: the thunderous Sad but True, the frenzied All Nightmare Long.

For a band that lives off Satan-approved sludge, the sound was clear and ringing. And so was the crowd, chanting along to gloomy goodies Master of Puppets, Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman," happy to be alive.

Review: Dallas Morning News
by Mario Tarradell

Metal masters Metallica give a jaw-dropping show at American Airlines Center


The pyrotechnics were way cool, but most impressive was the precision.

The laser lights were eye candy, while the lightning speed was jaw dropping.

We're referring to Metallica, those metal masters that entertained more than 19,000 fans for two hours and 15 minutes Tuesday at American Airlines Center. The four-man group, in the midst of its World Magnetic Tour, performed in the round, giving every side of the venue's crowd a view of vocalist James Hetfield, bassist Robert Trujillo, guitarist Kirk Hammett and drummer Lars Ulrich.

Much of the night's set was focused on tunes from Death Magnetic, Metallica's return-to-form 2008 CD produced by the sought-after Rick Rubin. Of those, particularly memorable were the atmospheric "The Day That Never Comes" and the piercing opener, "That Was Just Your Life."

Another note related to Magnetic: The lighting rigs hanging above the stage were attached to coffin-shaped planks inspired by the disc's cover. They were like movable platform props.

Yet for the masses, Metallica is about the older material. So it's no surprise that "One," which played like a metal opera, generated passionate, fist-pumping reactions from the audience. Ditto for the ballad "Nothing Else Matters," which was akin to a solemn rite of passage for the band and the fans. And the final tune, "Seek and Destroy," will forever be remembered. The house lights were on and the band led the throng in a loud sing-along. Black beach balls emblazoned with the Metallica logo fell from the ceiling.

The Metallica adoration was palpable, and so was the group's appreciation of its followers, as Hetfield pointed out repeatedly. Such loyalty is understandable. After nearly three decades, the Metallica members still play with astonishing focus. They're tight, distortion-free, consummate musicians.

Review: Montreal Gazette
by Mark Lepage

Metallica spectallica
Legendary metal band brings 30 years of thrash hits to sold-out Bell Centre

Someone in the Bell Centre was talking about the recent Walking With Dinosaurs shows, and how they left the kids "scared and impressed."

Well.

Over to the Tyrannosaurs.

Nobody was walking, but they were roaring, stamping, surfing and throwing much devil-horn as the purple lights came down over a football field-size "in the rectangle" open-concept stage.

Cue the retinae-singeing lasers, lower the coffin lighting rigs (nice touch) and let's have the perfect anonymous intro That Was Just Your Life: no visible band members, save James Hetfield for a brief verse in an under-spot. Let's Mosh with the Dinosaurs.

And to be sure, Metallica - even/especially at the level - is full-contact. The first fan faceplanted over the barricades on a bad crowd-surf during The End of the Line. So it was going to be a good night, you know?

If you were 14 years old, you likely had your mind blown spongily out your ears by the four-minute mark, after the best opening lighting display the Bell Centre has ever seen. With 20,000 in the crowd for the first of two sellouts, the rest of the evening would be split between

career-spanning hommages to the vet fans, and late-model anthems for the newbies who made possible a thrash band's ascendance to the U2 level.

So: For Whom the Bell Tolls as tribute to the freaks who were there when Hetfield and Ulrich had zits, and Nothing Else Matters for those who got on board later. "Oh, you're beautiful Montreal, you're beautiful!" Hetfield exulted, delivering a passionate speech on loyalty introing Broken Beat and Scarred.

We can now dispel a few Metallica myths of recent-ish vintage:

1) James can't sing. He can. Something's been taken off the high register and more off the roar timbre. If anything, it makes him more appealing. And you know, there are some girls at these shows too, now.

2) Lars can't play. He's no double-bass-kicking Sven Whomever from the Norwegian Priestkillers and never was. The shifty tempos in Sad But True made the song.

3) They're soft. As bouncers shoved back the crowdsurfers six feet from where Hetfield was barking out a monstrously chugging Cyanide, this was amply disproven.

But they have changed. Where once these concerts felt like a pack of wolves unleashed, now there is pacing.

"Metallica gives you heavy!" Hetfield vowed in Sad But True. And it was. Heavy, I mean. Strangely, All Nightmare Long and The Day That Never Comes, highlights from the new album, almost felt slower.

Luckily, bassist Robert Trujillo and his vulcanized rubber basslines, played with the axe at hi-top level, don't know what time it is: a joy to watch all night, making up for the opener to Nothing Else Matters.

Which, of course, was a ruse. Few bands save their mid-period heaviosities for the late part of the show. Here, the externals - that massive stage, the ceaselessly inventive lighting, the disappearing fire-pillars - were just the manifestations of a supremely confident band.

Here's another sign: leaning into Master of Puppets and Blackened before the requisite fan offering of Enter Sandman - majestically delivered - and the encore.

Hit The Lights and Seek and Destroy (house lights up, and what were they thinking with the black balloons?) sent the mob out to their looting and pillaging - or more likely, a bit of a boozy shot at Hetfield on Guitar Hero.

Misplaced ideas and all, a Metallica this big is still not only good for the testosteronal psychic balance, which is crucial to the health of the city, planet, Gaia, and everything else. It's good for the economy.

Review: Cincinnati Enquirer
by Chris Varias

Classics rule Metallica show at U.S. Bank Arena

Tuesday marked the second night of the current leg of Metallica's North American tour. More important to the audience at U.S. Bank Arena was the fact that the band was back in town for the first time in years.

"Maybe Metallica should come to Cincinnati more than every five (darn) years," shouted drummer Lars Ulrich, noting the obvious.

A whole lot of it's-been-too-long love swirled through the arena for the two-hour show. Sixteen-thousand sets of fists pumped during the shore-shaking performance, and the band returned the favor afterwards - mingling on the stage for 10 minutes, waving to fans, growling salutations into microphones, tossing guitar picks to general-admission floor dwellers.

Though it's the start of a new tour, there was no rust to be shaken off the Metallica metal machinery. If any of the fellas missed a note, it wasn't apparent, which is pretty remarkable considering the speed and precision required for thrash such as encore selections "Whiplash" and "Seek and Destroy," to name a couple. (There was also a thrashy cover of Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" thrown into the encore.) In fact, of all of their peers in rock who consistently sell out arenas worldwide year after year, nobody plays harder or louder.

Metallica's 18-song set ranged from stuff off their 2008 return-to-original-form CD "Death Magnetic"; back to the classic thrash tunes that made them an '80s metal sensation; and rounded out with '90s crossover hits.

Guitarist and lead singer James Hetfield sounded fine and looked fresh. The band performed in darkness during the opening tune, "That was Just Your Life," with Hetfield's face ducking in and out of spotlights as he moved between eight microphone stands positioned variously on the stage. The show was in-the-round, so the band did its best to give all sides of the arena a show, including Ulrich, whose drum riser spun in 90-degree increments.

The rotating riser was one of several fancy production touches. Green laser beams fanned over the stage and across the ceiling. Flames shot out from behind the guitar amps, and grating on the deck of the stage emitted giant fireballs. Four casket-shaped trusses lowered from the rafters toward the band, setting an ominous visual tone during some classic "For Whom the Bell Tolls" riffage.

That song, Metallica's third of the evening, marked the first moment when the crowd went bananas. The old stuff always has ruled, according to diehards, and it always will. And though there were some nice riffs among "Death Magnetic" material like "Cyanide" and "The End of the Line," songs like "One" and "Master of Puppets" were those with the power to make time stop.

"Cincinnati, do you want heavy?" was Hetfield's rhetorical question. "Metallica gives you heavy!"

If Hetfield's lead vocals made him the star of the show, the guy who added the most value was bassist Robert Trujillo, who looked like a cross between a high school burnout and an AND1 baller with his basketball jersey and his long, stringy hair. Trujillo's finger-plucking approach brought a thunderous element to the music. It was as if he were inventing new low notes during "black album" songs "Sad But True," "The Unforgiven" and "Enter Sandman," providing a rumble that lent some eyeball-rattling heaviosity to radio-friendly fare.

Review: Rolling Stone
by Nicole Keiper

Metallica Scorch Nashville With Metal Anthems, Lemmy Kilmister on "World Magnetic Tour"

"Are you ready for this?" Metallica frontman James Hetfield growled from the stage of Nashville's Sommet Center Monday night, at the official kickoff of the band's latest U.S. run. "Metallica is mighty grateful to be alive, and here celebrating life with loud, heavy music."

Loud and heavy it was - heavy enough to comically shake from the rafters all the heart-shaped confetti remaining from Taylor Swift's show there two nights before - as Metallica burned through a big cache of songs from their latest, speed-metal tradition-bearing Death Magnetic album and a healthy share of similarly muscular, propulsive early work.

The band's two-hour-plus Stateside opener, coming after months of overseas dates, kicked off with an aggressive, laser light-flanked "That Was Just Your Life" and "The End Of The Line" from Magnetic, Hetfield following up by telling the crowd, "We appreciate you. Here's some old stuff."

Their crowds, as the band seems to have fully internalized in the wake of Magnetic's positive response, sure like the energy and spirit of the old stuff. And the Nashville audience offered emphatic, unison-fist-pumping shout-alongs in response to classic Metallica favorites "Creeping Death" and "Master of Puppets," though the stuttering "Cyanide" and taut "Broken, Beat & Scarred" from Magnetic, classic Metallica-angled as they are, earned their own fervent crowd participation.

The band's Nashville stop wasn't all frenetic and wasn't all waffling between classic or new-classic - the tender "Nothing Else Matters" had Hetfield crooning alone on stage, perched on a stool. And Metallica's World Magnetic Tour stage show, even with the band's reinvigorated aggression, isn't without its kitsch either. During closer "Seek and Destroy," Swift's paper hearts were replaced in the air by a downpour of massive, Death Magnetic-emblazoned black beach balls.

But if Nashville's Metallica faithful were all fist-pumps watching metal's reigning kings do the classic speed-metal thing they do best, imagine the fervor when Hetfield introduced a guest stop from the "godfather of heavy metal," Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister. (Kilmister joined Metallica on two of his band's songs, "Damage Case" and "Too Late Too Late.")

"We want you leaving here with a sore throat," Hetfield hollered after he and his bandmates each took a turn giving Kilmister a big goodbye hug. "But you're gonna leave here with a big smile on your face."
