Metallica have shared a video of their performance of Hardwired… To Self-Destruct track Spit Out The Bone.
It was filmed at The O2 in London earlier this week and marked the first time the band have played the track live.
Speaking previously about the track, vocalist and guitarist James Hetfield said: “Spit Out The Bone is getting rid of the human flesh part – machinery is so much more efficient. We want things quicker. We want the convenience of technology.
“But at what point is convenience leaning into dependency? We need it, or else we don’t know what to do.”
Metallica played two nights in London – and in doing so, smashed the attendance record for the venue which was previously held by Muse.
IQ report that Metallica attracted 22,211 to the venue, topping Muse’s 21,000 set in 2016. The US outfit’s ‘in-the-round’ format allowed the venue to pack in more seats. The band were presented with a plaque to mark the achievement by The O2’s head of programming Christian D’Acuna.
Metallica’s UK tour continues on Saturday, when they’ll take to the stage at the Manchester Arena. Find a full list of their tour dates below.
