Metallica Performance of Ride the Lightning in Mexico City
Ah, Metallica—one of the heavyweights of rock! When they took to the stage in Mexico City on July 28, 2012, they were riding high on the wave of their recent album "Death Magnetic," released in 2008. This album marked a significant return to form, reminiscent of their early thrash roots while still evolving their sound. It was also the first new material in five years, and fans were eager for the live experience. Interestingly, that performance in the Palacio de los Deportes wasn’t just another show—it exemplified Metallica's enduring influence and connection with their audience, as they played classics like “Creeping Death” and "Ride the Lightning." This concert was part of their “Metallica By Request” tour, where fans got to vote on the setlist, reinforcing how much they value their community. It’s a testament to the bond Metallica shares with their followers—who wouldn’t want to be part of that electrifying atmosphere?
