Metallica have shared pro-shot footage of the band performing ‘Master Of Puppets’ classic ‘Battery’ from their huge residency at the Las Vegas Sphere.

1. Do Nothing’s new album is Chris Bailey’s ultimate act of service: “A song will tell you what it wants to be, and it’s not your place to get in the way of that”.

The ‘Life Burns Faster’ residency opened on October 1 at the iconic venue with spectacular visual displays on show.

Na noite em que eles apresentaram “… And Justice For All” pela primeira vez em mais de 10 anos, junto com outros sucessos favoritos dos fãs.

Metallica recently shared pro-shot footage of the former along with its mind bending visuals and 1984 track ‘The Call Of Ktulu’.

Agora, eles compartilharam vídeo profissional da faixa de abertura do seu LP de 1986, da sua apresentação de 15 de outubro, que você pode assistir abaixo.

The residency continues tonight (November 5) and Saturday (November 7), as well as January 28 and 30, February 4, 6, 18, 20, 25 and 27 and March 4, 6, 11 and 13 in 2027.

As well as the Las Vegas shows, the band have also confirmed a 2027 tour with Limp Bizkit, and teased that they have 767 new riffs for their “next album” – suggesting that the project might see them “go back to the ‘90s again”.

Elsewhere, Roger Waters recently hit back at frontman James Hetfield following his recent on-stage comments about music and politics, calling the Metallica frontman a “complete prick” who has “an IQ of about three”.

The comments relate to Hetfield’s recent remarks while performing as part of Metallica’s residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. On stage on October 10, he thanked the crowd for potentially travelling far and wide to see their show, and reassured them that they were wanting to create a sense of escape from the world’s issues – not lecture them with their own “bullshit” agendas.

Although he didn’t mention any names, some fans have suggested that it could be a nod to Macklemore, who was dropped as a support act for Ed Sheeran’s ‘Loop’ tour after making a speech calling for a “free Palestine”.

Outros especularam que também poderia ter sido uma provocação a Hayley Williams – que tem dito “Fuck ICE” em seus shows recentes – ou até mesmo ao artista de metal Tom Morello, que recentemente convocou Jack Black, Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen e mais para seu festival politicamente carregado Power To The People.

Waters compartilhou seus pensamentos sobre os comentários feitos por Hetfield. “Podemos parar de falar desse idiota?” ele disse ao fazer uma participação especial no podcast de Katie Halper.

Waters tem sido um apoiador de longa data da Palestina. Em 2024, ele instou seguidores nas redes sociais a não votar em Kamala Harris ou Donald Trump na eleição dos EUA devido às respectivas posições deles sobre o conflito Israel-Palestina na época.

More recently, last July, he voiced his support for Palestine Action after the organisation was proscribed as a terrorist group under the Terrorism Act 2000.

He has also hit back at other musicians for their various stances on Israel. He told Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood that “there is no argument to be made”, and went on to say: “It is not a conflict.

More recently, he also called Ed Sheeran a “little prick” for allowing Macklemore to be kicked off his ‘Loop Tour’, following the rapper making an impassioned speech on-stage, calling for “all human beings to be treated with dignity, respect, and equality” and for a “free Palestine”.

Metallica have been reluctant to share their political stance for years now, and back in 2017 Hetfield said that he wanted to keep his thoughts about Donald Trump to himself, arguing that politics “separates” people.

Em 2020, o Metallica também falou sobre como desejavam que sua música inspirasse unidade em um momento em que as tensões estão altas devido a vários conflitos sociais, e no ano passado a banda obrigou o governo dos EUA a retirar um vídeo de mídia social que utilizava ‘Enter Sandman’ sem autorização.
