METALLICA: 'Live Earth' Performance Available On YouTube
July 7, 2007Professionally filmed video footage of METALLICA's three-song set as part of the Live Earth concert in London taking place today (Saturday, July 7) has been posted at YouTube:
"Sad But True": Video
"Nothing Else Matters": Video
"Enter Sandman": Video
The band played three songs instead of the scheduled four; "For Whom The Bell Tolls" was dropped, possibly due to time restrictions.
The Wembley Stadium show is part of the 24-hour global series of concerts being held to raise awareness of global warming.
METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich previously said in a statement, "I love my sons. I want them to 'inherit the Earth' FOR REAL! We keep waiting for future generations to solve the problems; to invent cleaner technology; to pay the costs...that's the same as passing the buck. I want the buck to stop here, now. I want lawmakers and laws to impose change. Nothing else will keep this world safe for my sons."
METALLICA's performance will be available to download for a minimal fee on iTunes and the band's live download site, LiveMetallica.com. All proceeds from the sale of downloads will go to four climate organizations selected by METALLICA.
