If there’s one thing heavy metal band Metallica knows how to do, it’s their blistering, rage-filled live shows!Β 

Metallica’s music has spanned over 30 years, bringing heavy metal fans together under their huge legacy and talent. The band, comprising of guitar-shredder Kirk Hammett, crab-walking bassist Robert Trujillo, master drummer Lars Ulrich and the master of puppets James Hetfield himself, have been making speaker-annihilating music forΒ 3 decades now. Over the course of this time, they have mastered the art of performing live shows.
