metallica band group singer singing 13 more

Trivia
During the concert, while "Nothing Else Matters" was being played, 'Kirk Hammett's ear monitor malfunctioned. He tried to tell a technician this by saying "There's nothing in my ear!" The technician responded "We're playing 'Nothing'!" thinking that Hammett meant that "Nothing Else Matters" was in his ear.

Quotes
James: D'ya hear the one about the rock band who wanted to play with the symphony?

Connections
Edited from Metallica: No Leaf Clover (1999)

Very good live performance, makes most of their songs sound better

I'm not a huge fan of Metallica and I don't really like all of their music (the songs from the Black album, as well as ...And Justice for All and the single "I Disappear" are quite good but the rest kind of sound the same to me) -- but this live version even made me love the songs.

It's conducted with Michael Kamen and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, who ironically enough contacted THEM with an interest in performing their songs with an orchestra.

The result is a loud, powerful, emotional (!) experience. The deep, rich sound of the symphony really makes the songs all sound different. It's quite an experience.

The performance is two and a half hours long and the DVD/CD has tons of bonus features including a documentary covering the conception and execution of the entire ordeal.

All in all, a real treat, especially for Metallica fans, and perhaps even more so for non-fans who may find they like the music more like this.
