METALLICA‘s official YouTube channel Metallica TV has been updated with fly-on-the-wall footage shot by a MetOnTour.com reporter on July 4 in Basel, Switzerland. The 22-minute clip includes footage of the band warming up in the Tuning Room and “Ride The Lightning” and “Sad But True” from the show.
The band’s setlist for the concert was as follows:
01. Battery
02. Master Of Puppets
03. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
04. Ride The Lightning
05. The Unforgiven
06. Creeping Death
07. Lords Of Summer
08. Sad But True
09. Fade To Black
10. …And Justice For All
11. One
12. For Whom The Bell Tolls
13. Whiskey In The Jar
14. Nothing Else Matters
15. Enter Sandman
Encore:
16. St. Anger
17. Orion
18. Seek & Destroy
As previously reported, METALLICA stars in the latest ESPN “This Is SportsCenter” ad. The clip, which debuted on Monday night (July 14) during this year’s All-Star Home Run Derby, plays off the idea that the band members don’t know what to do with themselves since Yankees star reliever Mariano Rivera retired last season and took his “Enter Sandman” entrance music with him — so the band begins a desperate search for something else to do.
Drummer Lars Ulrich said, “Sometimes it can be quite freeing to put yourself at the mercy of others. ESPN‘s commercials have a tendency to be hilarious. We were like, ‘That sounds like a good time.’ The whole thing had an overriding impulsivity to it.”
The long-running series of comical “This Is SportsCenter” ads promote ESPN‘s “SportsCenter” sports news show.
The commercials, which debuted in 1994, are presented in a deadpan mockumentary style, lampooning various aspects of sports and sports broadcasting.
After completing a recent European festival run, METALLICA has just one show on its calendar for the rest of 2014, at the Heavy MTL festival in Montreal on August 9.
The band is slated to enter the studio and begin recording its 10th studio album this fall.
