Metallica has a very loyal audience in South America, playing before some of the biggest crowds in their career on the continent. For this week’s #MetallicaMondays show, they paid tribute to one of their earliest trip. “We dug through the dusty, old VHS tapes in Lars’ vault to uncover this show, which was not only the first time we played in Bogotá, but anywhere in Colombia,” a statement from the band’s says of their May 2, 1999 show during their Garage Remains the Same Tour, which was in support of the Garage Inc. covers album from the previous year. During the set, the band stormed through the three-encore, 20-song set that included favorites from that era like “Master of Puppets,” “Fuel” and a cover of the Misfits’ “Die, Die My Darling.” Last week, Metallica streamed a 2008 sh...

As has been the custom in recent months, Metallica will air another #MetallicaMondays show from their vault. This week, they’re taking a trip back to May 2008 where they performed at Auditorio John Lennon in Madrid. “Of course, we played the hits, but you’ll also catch a couple deep cuts including “Bleeding Me” and “Devil’s Dance,” the second of which hasn’t been played live for 12 years!” an announcement from the band read. In recent weeks, Metallica streamed a rain-soaked show from Manchester’s Ethiad Stadium, another from Salt Lake City from the Load tour and a 2014 “by request” Peru show, where the group played everything and anything the audience wanted to hear. Before that, they shared a Kill ‘Em All era show at Chicago’s Metro, a 20th annivers...

For the latest show in their ongoing streaming series, Metallica turned the clock way back to…2019. The band’s show at Manchester City’s (the football club) Ethiad Stadium was typical for the locale, especially for mid-June: a rain-drenched affair. But that didn’t stop the band though, running through a fierce 18-song set from the Hardwired tour. The set featured a bunch of fairly rare songs, like “The Memory Remains,” “The God That Failed” and “St. Anger.” In recent weeks, Metallica streamed a show from Salt Lake City from the Load tour and a 2014 “by request” Peru show, where the group played everything and anything the audience wanted to hear. Before that, they shared a Kill ‘Em All era show at Chicago’s Metro, a 20th anniversary Black Album show from Austria, and a 1991 show ...

For this week’s #MetallicaMondays, Metallica are going back to the Load era and streaming their Jan. 2, 1997 show in Salt Lake City, Utah. The show, part of “Pour Touring Me” and featuring Korn, was a day-late New Year’s celebration that went on for 20 total songs, including an impressive two encores. The group kicked the Utah Jazz and Karl Malone out of the Delta Center — now known as the Vivint Smart Home Arena — for the night, opening the show with “So What” and closing off with “Motorbreath.” Last week, Metallica allowed fans to stream a 2014 “by request” Peru show, where the group played everything and anything the audience wanted to hear. Before that, they shared a Kill ‘Em All era show at Chicago’s Metro, a 20th anniversary Black Album show from Austria and ...

Metallica has dug deep and not so deep into their catalog for its #MetallicaMondays livestream. This week’s, however, draws upon a rare moment in the band’s history. Coming from Nickelsdorf in Austria where they performed on June 10, 2012, Metallica celebrated the 20th anniversary of The Black Album. Here, they performed the album in full, which included rare performances of  “My Friend of Misery,” “Don’t Tread on Me,” and “The Struggle Within.” As usual, the stream will begin at 8 pm EST/5 pm PST. In addition to sharing classic shows, the band has donated $350,000 toward COVID-19 relief efforts. Recently, they shared a reworked version of “Blackened” that they recorded while in quarantine.
