One of Metallica’s most famous singles is Enter Sandman. However, it is not the type of tune that puts you to sleep.
What type of genre does do that? Adult contemporary, so that would be songs like Neil Diamond’s Sweet Caroline.
Therefore, I never thought I would hear the Heavy Metal band perform a song you could listen to in an elevator. But that is what James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett did at their Foxboro, Massachusettes show on Sunday night.
And since they are the Master of Puppets, the audience sang along. But then again, who doesn’t sing along to the chorus of that song?
So, I guess you can say Diamond was the Master of Puppets way before they were.
Oh, and since I hate Metallica, can we all agree that this proved Hetfield cannot sing anything but Metal?
Metallica is rocking out on tour, but they had to cut their Glendale, Arizona, concert short on Friday, according to the Arizona Republic. Now we know why.
“We’re very sorry to report that tomorrow’s [September 3rd] scheduled M72 date at State Farm Stadium has been postponed to Saturday, September 9, 2023, as, unfortunately, COVID has caught up with James [Hetfield],” the band said in a statement. “We’re extremely disappointed and regret any inconvenience this has caused you; we look forward to returning to complete the M72 No Repeat Weekend in Glendale next Saturday.”
Last week, Metallica went to the dogs when a German Shepard enjoyed their LA concert. This week, you can say, Hetfield is as sick as a dog with COVID.
Hopefully, he will be better soon, and none of his bandmates get it from him.
Hetfield is not the only person to come down with COVID this week. First Lady Jill Biden tested positive today. I am praying she has a quick recovery.
Stop whining about masks and put one on because the new strain is highly contagious.
People at the Metallica concert in LA thought they smoked some really good stuff when they saw a dog enjoying the show. But it turns out what they saw was real.
The Rockers explained what their biggest fan with a tail was doing there.
You might have heard we had a four-legged fan join us for #M72LA! Despite reports to the contrary, our friend Storm snuck out of her home adjacent to @sofistadium and made her way to the gig all by herself.
After a full night taking in the show with her #MetallicaFamily, Storm was safely reunited with her actual family the next day. She had a great time listening to her favorite songs, including “Barx Æterna,” “Master of Puppies,” and “The Mailman That Never Comes.”
And in case you were wondering, no. You definitely shouldn’t bring your furry friends to the #M72 World Tour. But this dog sure did have her day…
Metallica is so cheap. I bet you they charged the owner for the ticket.
Back to the Future was years ahead of its times. So people were blown away by how advanced it was.
And now, almost 40 years later, it is still blowing minds. Justin Rupple pointed out some interesting things if the movie was rebooted in 2023.
The original BTTF started out in 1985 and traveled back to 1995. So if it took place today, Marty McFly would travel back to 1993. Ouch! I feel like ancient.
But that is not as shocking as this fact. The first song Marty heard in 1955 was Chet Atkins’ Mr. Sandman. So what would he hear in 1993? Metallica’s Enter Sandman. We’re off to Never Never Land with that revelation.
