Metallica

In October 2016, when Metallica performed "Bleeding Me" at the Bridge School Benefit, they were basking in the glow of their latest album, "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct," which had just been released days earlier, on November 18 of the same year. This live recording showcases the band’s dynamic presence, even in a benefit setting, underscoring their versatility. Interestingly, "Bleeding Me" is a track from their 1996 album "Load," and performing it at this event spotlights their ability to blend eras of their discography. The Bridge School Benefit itself holds cultural significance too—founded by Neil Young, it’s a legendary gathering that highlights the band's commitment to impactful causes. It’s moments like these that remind fans just how powerful live music can be, don’t you think? Metallica’s setlist at such events can evoke nostalgia and camaraderie, reminding us all of the universal language that music provides.
