Metallica

In July 2002, Metallica hosted a live relaunch party at their San Rafael headquarters, marking a pivotal moment in their career. This performance came shortly after the release of their groundbreaking album "St. Anger" in 2003. This period was a mix of rebirth and reevaluation for the band, as they sought to modernize their sound while staying true to their roots. The event showcased tracks like "Creeping Death" and "Seek and Destroy," and it was a unique opportunity for fans to witness the intense camaraderie within the band after a tumultuous time, including lineup changes and personal struggles. Fun fact: this live set was presented in the "Fan Can #5" collection, emphasizing Metallica's appreciation for their dedicated fan base. The HQ relaunch party was not just a gig; it was a celebration of resilience and a fresh chapter in Metallica’s storied saga.
