Singer/guitarist James Hetfield queried the crowd about 2003’s “St.

Metallica’s set leaned heavily on their first 10 years, with only three songs (and a cover) released after 1991. “Sad But True” got the crowd singing along, which was true for most of the night, maybe a result of all the $17 beers sold. The softer “Nothing Else Matters” had thousands of cellphone flashlights waving the way lighters used to. They opened with “Whiplash” before getting the crowd’s fists pumping during “Creeping Death.” And then came “Enter Sandman,” which drew such a reaction that it felt like the stands were moving.Įnter Sandman (beginning) at PNC Park /XEEY4PsaKy Metallica hit the stage at 9 p.m., on a smaller, more intimate section on the left side of the stage for their first three songs. Smoke helped set the atmosphere for much of the night, aided along by vape bros. The stage also featured a pit of fans in the middle and walkways extending into the crowd. The lines to purchase merchandise (like $40 T-shirts) were so long that the ends from opposite sides of the stadium were nearly overlapping before the show.Ī massive setup featuring five video screens, with a stylized “M” on one side and an “A” on the other, dominated the outfield. A huge crowd filled the Pirates’ park to see the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, who haven’t played Pittsburgh much lately (their last shows here were in 20 before that). No new albums in the past six years? No problem. The veteran thrash metal band - if “classic metal” isn’t a thing like classic rock, it should be - played a two-hour set that might have blown the roof off if they hadn’t been outdoors.

Ultimately, Mustaine said he’s good where he is now and that he doesn’t feel any bitterness or sadness over how things went down with Metallica. Though he reportedly got most of them, he contested that Hammett was incorrectly receiving royalties for “Metal Militia” for “many, many years.” Mustaine was later asked if he received any royalties for those songs.

All the solos on the first record are mine, except that they’re just performed by Kirk. There’s parts of my music on a song on the third record. They used it on the first record, on the second record. “The thing that bothered me the most was I had all my music, and I left it behind and I said, ‘Don’t use my music.’ And of course they did. However, even though he was reportedly furious after hearing Kill ’em All for the first time, Mustaine in 2022 says it simply “bothered” him. It’s even been so contentious over the years that it ended up derailing the re-release of the No Life Till Leather demo tape. One of the biggest points of contention between Mustaine and his former bandmates has been whether he should be credited for songs that were recorded for Kill ’em All, as well as some tracks from Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.
