Metallica

As of September 29, 2024, Metallica was riding high on their success from their latest studio album, "72 Seasons," released earlier in April 2023. This release marked a notable return to their heavy sound, featuring themes of personal growth and the passage of time. The live recording of "Whiskey in the Jar" from the Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City showcases the band performing a classic that reflects their ability to blend contemporary metal with traditional influences. Interestingly, "Whiskey in the Jar" is a cover of an Irish folk song that has become a staple in their live shows, highlighting Metallica's versatility and connection to their roots. The choice of Mexico City as a venue further emphasizes Metallica's popularity in Latin America, where they have a dedicated fan base, making the performance a significant highlight of their ongoing touring and promotional activities following "72 Seasons."
