Metallica Streams Rare 1983 Video

It’s Insanely Good!

Metallica recently streamed a live video of them performing their 1983 song “Phantom Lord” during their January 30 show at the US Bank Arena Cincinnati, OH. The last time they played it was last year at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center and that was the first time they performed the track in five years!

It’s a powerhouse performance with James Hetfield killing it with his vocals. How can a man in his 50s still sound so much like his younger self during their heyday? That’s seriously not easy to accomplish but Hetfield delivered the goods!

Metallica have also announced their seventh annual “Metallica Night” with the San Francisco Giants which will take place on April 26 at the Oracle Park, formerly AT&T Park. James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo released the following statement:

“Members of the band will be on hand to start things off with the National Anthem and first pitch, sticking around all night to cheer on the team against the New York Yankees. As is customary, we’ll take part in some of the between-inning fun and games, as well as an exclusive pre-game VIP event.”

Special Event Metallica ticket packages will include a game ticket and a limited-edition Metallica/Giants reversible knit beanie.
