Metallica Reigns at California Music Fest

Metallica performed at the annual “Weenie Roast” festival sponsored by Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM. The show, which took place last night (Saturday, May 17) at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, California, also featured The Raconteurs, The Offspring, The Bravery, The Offspring, Pennywise, Scars on Broadway and others.

The band did not disappoint, proving as mighty as ever. “We’ve certainly missed you,” Metallica’s frontman James Hetfield told the crowd right after a ripping version of “Fuel,” OC Register reports. Metallica’s setlist for the concert was as follows:

01. Creeping Death
02. Fuel
03. For Whom the Bell Tolls
04. Unforgiven
05. Wherever I May Roam
06. Harvester of Sorrow
07. The Memory Remains
08. Fade to Black
09. Master of Puppets
10. Battery
11. Sad But True
12. One
13. Enter Sandman
14. So What!
15. Seek and Destroy

The heavy-metal band adopted the name Metallica after a suggestion from Bay Area friend Ron Quintana, and they quickly began gigging in the Los Angeles area opening for bands like Saxon. Metallica’s first album, “Kill ‘Em All”, was released in late 1983.

Metallica released eight studio albums, two live albums, two EPs, nine videos, and is working on a ninth studio album. The band has become one of the most commercially successful and influential musical acts, with over 100 million records sold worldwide. Metallica earned seven Grammy Awards and its 1991 album “Metallica” managed to sell over 15 million copies.

The band was ranked by MTV as the third “Greatest Heavy Metal Band in History.”
