When Metallica played on Saturday night of Woodstock ’94, they opened and closed their 15-song set with cover songs. The band’s stock was still soaring, even three years removed from their most recent album at the time, which happened to be 1991’s self-titled affair better known as “The Black Album.” Sandwiched between Nine Inch Nails, whose mud-caked set is one of the most historic across all Woodstock festival editions, and rock ‘n’ roll legends Aerosmith, Metallica delivered a memorable performance lined with nothing but classics.

Motorhead never wanted to alter their sound even as others where doing so to keep up with the times, but what did Lemmy Kilmister think of bands such as Metallica, Venom, Nirvana and Pantera during the 1990s? In an interview shared on the Guitar Lizard YouTube channel, which has become a go-to resource for classic Motorhead interviews, Lemmy Kilmister and drummer Mikkey Dee were asked for their thoughts on acts that wanted to follow in their footsteps.

What songs would you play to introduce someone to Metallica who’d never heard them before? Fans are having a discussion about the best tracks to play on Reddit. The original post, which was shared yesterday on the Metallica Reddit page, asked fellow Metallica fans to name the three songs they would play for a hypothetical friend that hadn’t heard the band before. It’s difficult to imagine there are many people in the world who’ve never heard “Enter Sandman,” but just pretend for fun. A couple of users pointed out that their responses would depend on who the friend is — what their general music...

James Hetfield has revealed what he learned from Metallica’s non-profit work via their All Within My Hands foundation. And the frontman said that while it was the “corniest” lesson, it was still true. Named after a track on 2003 album St. Anger, the group started the organization in 2017, aiming “to assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band for years, as well as encourage participation from fans and friends.” Since then, millions of dollars have been raised for a wide range of causes including food banks, disaster relief and education programs, while...

In September of 1985, Glenn Danzig mailed a letter to Cliff Burton regarding Metallica‘s plans to record Misfits covers. Of course, there is a sad and twisted end to this story because, as fans know, Metallica’s Misfits covers were not released until 1987, after Burton’s tragic death. Burton’s punk fandom was well-suited for his role in the band that pioneered thrash metal, even if his songwriting prowess and knowledge of musical theory contrasted punk’s rudimentary barrier to entry. The tattoo of Misfits’ “Crimson Ghost” mascot on his right shoulder really said it all. Danzig’s Letter to Clif...

Metallica‘s 1991 self-titled album has become the fourth studio release ever to reach a historic chart record. The album, affectionately known as The Black Album, has officially spent a total of 750 weeks on the Billboard 200. It’s the fourth record in history to spend that amount of time on the chart, following Pink Floyd‘s The Dark Side of the Moon (1973), the Bob Marley and The Wailers compilation album Legend (1984) and Journey‘s Greatest Hits (1988). Therefore, The Black Album is the youngest album to reach the chart milestone — and is the second studio album to do so, as the Bob Marley a...

Is Lars Ulrich playing better live now? That’s a question James Hetfield addressed on a recent episode of The Metallica Report podcast. Co-host and So What! fan club magazine editor Steffan Chirazi suggests that Ulrich has been playing some of his best shows of the last 10-20 years, asking Hetfield if he agrees with that sentiment. “I’d say this tour in general — the last two years — we’ve been building up to it,” Papa Het begins, asserting, “[He’s] absolutely playing great.” Ulrich’s ability to reliably keep time live has been a hot topic throughout his career, but performance is one part of ...
