Metallica

In November 2005, when Metallica rocked SBC Park in San Francisco, they were riding high on the wave of their most recent studio album, *St. Anger*, which dropped in 2003. This album marked a significant chapter in Metallica’s history, as it embraced a raw, unfiltered sound that captured their internal struggles during a tumultuous time. Fans were curious, to say the least; *St. Anger* featured no guitar solos and showcased a more abrasive production style, drawing mixed reactions from critics and audiences alike. Interestingly, this live performance was part of the "St. Anger Tour," where they were reconnecting with fans and showcasing their adaptability. Metallica, known for their electrifying live shows, delivered a powerhouse set on that night—mixing classic hits with tracks from the new album. It was a moment of both reflection on their journey and a leap towards new artistic expressions. The energy in the venue could only have been electric, especially with San Francisco being their hometown, making this performance all the more special.
