May 5, 2020

METALLICA has posted another video as part of its new concert series, "#MetallicaMondays", where the band is streaming a complete live show for fans on the group's YouTube channel and on Facebook every week. The latest concert to be shared was recorded on November 18, 2016 at House Of Vans in London, England and it celebrated the launch of METALLICA's "Hardwired... To Self-Destruct" album.

The band's setlist was as follows:

01. Breadfan (BUDGIE cover)
02. The Four Horsemen
03. Battery
04. Sad But True
05. Fade To Black
06. Atlas, Rise!
07. Harvester Of Sorrow
08. Moth Into Flame
09. One
10. Master Of Puppets
11. For Whom The Bell Tolls
12. Enter Sandman

Encore:

13. Whiskey In The Jar (cover)
14. Hardwired
15. Seek & Destroy

The band said in a statement, "While we're all doing our part and staying home, we find ourselves missing live music, so how about we dive back into a few of our favorite shows at a socially responsible distance?"

METALLICA has been largely out of the public eye since last fall when the band canceled an Australian tour and announced that frontman James Hetfield was returning to rehab for the first time since 2002 to battle his addictions.

Hetfield made his first major public appearance since entering rehab on January 30, when an exhibit featuring 10 of his classic custom cars opened at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

In March, METALLICA announced that its South American tour, which was originally planned for April, has been postponed until December. In addition, the band's appearances at three Danny Wimmer Presents-produced festivals in May have been canceled: Epicenter in Charlotte, Welcome To Rockville in Daytona and Sonic Temple in Columbus.

Guitarist Kirk Hammett told The Pulse Of Radio not long ago that METALLICA has to be in better than average shape to play its music live. "There's a physicality to our music that we cannot ignore, so we just kind of have to keep ourselves in a certain sort of physical sort of state where that we can't let ourselves get to a point where we can't play these songs," he said. "That's just not allowed. When we write this music, we have to make sure that we can play it and play it when we need to play it."
