METALLICA Premier New Song During Surprise Club Appearance

June 5, 2002

METALLICA premiered a new song last night during an ultra-secret live performance under the name SPUN at Club Kimo's in San Francisco, according to www.metallica.com.

After introducing themselves as "Bob's Band", guitarist/vocalist James Hetfield, drummer Lars Ulrich, guitarist Kirk Hammett and fill-in bassist, producer Bob Rock burst into four RAMONES songs before getting down to performing several METALLICA classics, including the rarely-heard "Hit The Lights". After that, it was time for a new track—apparently as-yet-untitled—which was described by the METALLICA webmaster Niclas Swanlund as "HEAVY, with a nice METALLICA CRUNCH to it." The night ended with "I Disappear" and a version of MISFITS' "Die Die My Darling".

Here was METALLICA's set list for their performance at Club Kimo's:

01. Commando (RAMONES)
02. Today Your Love Tomorrow The World (RAMONES)
03. 53rd and 3rd (RAMONES)
04. Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue (RAMONES)
05. Hit The Lights
06. Leper Messiah
07. No Remorse
08. For Whom The Bell Tolls
09. (New Song)
10. I Disappear
11. Die Die My Darling (MISFITS)
