Metallica

On December 17, 2021, Metallica delivered a powerful performance at the Chase Center in San Francisco, part of their ongoing celebration of four decades in the music scene. Just before this live recording, they had released *Hardwired... to Self-Destruct* in 2016, marking a triumphant return to form with a blend of their iconic thrash metal roots and a modern edge. This album, packed with hard-hitting tracks and thoughtful lyrics, set the stage for their live shows, where they continue to captivate audiences. Interestingly, the San Francisco show featured "Fixxxer," a deep cut that hadn’t received much live attention since its debut on the *Reload* album—proving that even after years, Metallica is keen on keeping their setlists fresh and exciting for devoted fans. The 40th anniversary celebration of their music also highlights their evolution and enduring legacy, something that’s always buzzing in the hearts of metalheads worldwide.
