If you're interested in getting an intimate look at what Metallica's live show looks like at this exact moment, you're in luck, because the thrashers have just shared a professionally shot cut of the band performing the ripping title track of their 1984 album Ride the Lightning in Fresno on December 9th.
Highlights include: visible evidence that James Hetfield is growing his hair out, a vintage, turn-the-clock-back growl from Robert Trujillo, and an absolutely blistering solo from Kirk Hammett, who has not lost a step. Metallica are on the 12th leg of their never-ending WorldWired tour behind 2016's Hardwired... to Self-Destruct. After finishing up North America on March 13 in Grand Rapids, the band will spend the summer in Europe.
