He'll be back with Metallica for the All Within My Hands benefit show on March 28th.

The AWMH Foundation show has now been pushed back to September 12th.

This seems to be one of their most favoured songs to cover, along with maybe Enter Sandman:

Incidentally Metallica's debut album 'Kill 'Em All' was released on this day in 1983, which imo changed the heavy metal landscape of that era - this was the first album that really got my attention and heavily influenced my interest in heavy metal music at that time - previously I'd liked listening to groups like Black Sabbath, Kiss, ZZ Top etc but it was Metallica's Kill 'Em All with their raw energy and outstanding riffs, solo's etc that really envoked my interest in heavy metal music and imo, Metallica took the heavy metal scene to another level with the release of this great album

I read they've got S&M2 out this week, as their first symphonic album is 20 years old or something.

Fans who've rushed out to buy said album will no doubt be extra-ecstatic to know Sky Arts are showing the gig at 9pm tomorrow night...

Caught up with watching this. Props for including the setlist at the end, for those of us casual fans going "mmm, this is okay... what is it?"
