Metallica have released a live video showing them performing The Shortest Straw from their recent show at Birmingham’s Genting Arena.
The thrash giants played the …And Justice For All track in the city as part of the UK leg of their WorldWired tour. And before the live action kicks in, fans get a chance to see the band rehearsing the intro to the track backstage.
Metallica have now wrapped up their European tour in support of latest album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct, with their next concert scheduled for November 9 at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.
It’s been organised to raise funds for those affected by the recent wildfires in California, that left 42 people dead and saw more than 8000 homes and buildings destroyed.
James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo will head back across to Europe in February next year for further live dates. See a list of their 2018 shows below.
