While Metallica have no problem filling stadiums, the thrash metal masters kept it intimate when it came to yesterday’s (August 28th) launch of their new ‘Maximum Metallica‘ station on SiriusXM. For that kickoff event, the band performed a 14-song set in an outdoor tent erected at The Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, NY, joined by some 250 fans.
While members of the group’s fan club and more were given a chance to win admittance to the show, the guest list was extensive. Among those reported to have been in attendance at the show were Sir Paul McCartney, actors Michael J. Fox & Sylvester Stallone, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, radio host Howard Stern and more.
Some footage from last night’s 14-song set can be found below, along with the setlist, which found bassist/vocalist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett celebrating Ozzy Osbourne with a ‘doodle’ cover of “Crazy Train“.
