Metallica

In November 2018, Metallica was fresh off the heels of their world tour promoting their album "Hardwired... to Self-Destruct," which had been released two years earlier, in 2016. This era marked a significant comeback, reminding fans of their roots while also exploring new sonic territories. The live recording from the “Helping Hands Concert” showcases a stripped-down version of their iconic hit "Enter Sandman," juxtaposed against the heavy atmosphere of the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco. What's fascinating is the concert wasn't just a typical gig; it was part of their efforts to raise funds for the All Within My Hands Foundation, emphasizing the band's commitment to charitable work. It’s a cool nod to not only their musical prowess but also their heart, showing how Metallica balances their legendary status with genuine community engagement. This blend of philanthropy and powerful music truly captures what sets them apart in the rock world.
