METALLICA's ROBERT TRUJILLO, KIRK HAMMETT Perform Czech Folk Song In Prague (Video)

April 3, 2018

METALLICA bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett performed a Czech folk song during the band's concert Monday night (April 2) at Prague's O2 Arena.

The track in question, singer Ivan Mládek's "Jožin Z Bažin" ("Jožin From The Swamp"),was introduced by METALLICA frontman James Hetfield as some "local flavor."

"Jožin Z Bažin" is a parody song about a man-eating swamp monster in Moravia who consumes tourists from Prague and is defeated by a Škoda driver using a cropduster.

METALLICA played 12 shows in Europe since early February and has another 12 dates booked between now and mid-May.

METALLICA recently announced the details of the 2018-2019 North American leg of of its "WorldWired" tour in support of the band's latest album, "Hardwired… To Self-Destruct".

The 34-date trek kicks off September 2 in Madison, Wisconsin and runs through March 13 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Each ticket purchase will be accompanied by a physical or digital copy of "Hardwired… To Self-Destruct".

METALLICA's "WorldWired" trek was the fifth-highest grossing tour of 2017, with 1.5 million tickets sold and $153 million earned. The band was also the top-selling rock act of the year and had the third best-selling rock album.
