Watch Metallica play Sad But True in Minneapolis

Metallica have released an “all-angle” video featuring their performance of classic track Sad But True, shot during their show in Minneapolis last month.

The first rock concert at the city’s new US Bank Stadium was broadcast live across the world, and included their first-ever live delivery of latest track Hardwired – just five days after they’d first rehearsed it together.

Frontman James Hetfield introduced the song by thanking their support bands for the evening, asking fans: “Did you guys see Volbeat? They’re really good. Then Avenged Sevenfold, of course, you all liked them. There were here representing live and loud heavy music. This one goes out to them.”

The clip also shows drummer Lars Ulrich meeting fans who have never seen the band live before, and other supporters being given surprise snake pit passes.

Metallica’s 10th album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct is released on November 18. The band yesterday confirmed their first tour dates in support of the follow-up to 2008’s Death Magnetic, listing October shows in Latin America. Drummer Lars Ulrich has said that the band’s live commitment will include “extensive” US dates starting in January.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
