Metallica performed three songs during an August 12 appearance on The Howard Stern Show.
The rare, virtual visit from the band’s California HQ saw the band play “Wherever I May Roam” and “The Unforgiven” from their self-titled 1991 album – on the 29th anniversary of its release – alongside 2003’s “All Within My Hands.”
“Had a blast talking with and playing for Howard this morning,” shared the group following the broadcast.
Metallica were on hand to promote the August 28 release of a new live package, “S&M2”, recorded last fall with the San Francisco Symphony.
Produced by Greg Fidelman with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, the set will be available in a variety of configurations, ranging from a digital album on all leading streaming outlets, to 4LP vinyl, 2CD, DVD and Blu-ray versions, to a limited edition color vinyl 4LP + 2CD + Blu-ray Deluxe Box featuring sheet music, guitar picks, poster and more, all the way up to a Metallica.com exclusive Super Deluxe Box, limited to 500 copies, each featuring actual sheet music used by the Symphony during the shows and hand-signed by all four band members (in addition to including everything in the Deluxe Box).
Metallica will launch the project on August 29 with a pre-recorded live performance for the Encore Drive-In Nights series, which will be streamed at hundreds of drive-in and outdoor theaters across the United States and Canada.
