NME: Metallica perform 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at US baseball game

5/4/2013 12:22:00 PM

Metallica played their own version of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' at a US baseball game yesterday evening (May 3) - scroll down to the bottom of the page and click to watch. The metal titans were guests at the AT&T park in San Francisco to watch the MLB game between the San Francisco Giants and the LA Dodgers, according to Antiquiet, and performed a heavy rendition of the US national anthem for the crowd. Their version of the song did not feature any lyrics - in January 2012, a US senator submitted a bill calling for artists who alter the lyrics of 'The Star-Spangled Banner' to be fined if they changed the words.

MLB.com: AT&T Park gets rocking on Metallica Night

5/3/2013 11:46:00 PM

You might say that Friday night's crowd at AT&T Park was more amped up than usual. Literally. The combination of the Giants' Orange Friday promotion and the Los Angeles Dodgers' first appearance of the season here guaranteed that the sellout crowd would be especially motivated. But fans received an extra jolt of electricity from the rock band Metallica, who have become a prominent part of America's sports scene while putting the "heavy" in heavy metal.

5/3/2013 6:41:00 PM

The performance everyone had been waiting for was Metallica�s show-closing set, and the band came ready to rock. A blistering performance of �Disposable Heroes� brought a standing ovation, with Lars Ulrich perhaps the only person on his seat at the end of the song when he tumbled backwards over a tech that was fixing his kit. �For Whom the Bell Tolls� followed with the audience singing along to James Hetfield�s anthemic chorus. Metallica brought out Rob Halford for a cover of Judas Priest�s �Rapid Fire,� and they finished out the night with �Seek and Destroy� and �The Frayed Ends of Sanity� outro jam.

It's been seven years since Metallica first head banged into South Africa, headlining for the now-defunct My Coke Fest, and it's most probably been seven years too long for their die-hard fans.
