VIDEO: Metallica Jam Cyanide In The Green Room

Footage from band's first performance in Abu Dhabi 09-Nov-11

It's that time again, Metallica have uploaded another video tour diary update, this time of their historic first-ever gig in Abu Dhabi.

In the 20-minute-long video you can see the band warming up in the green-room, and rehearsing Cyanide before going out on stage.

Footage from the stage shows the band playing Metallica classic – 'Ride The Lightning'. You can watch all of this footage in the video embedded above.

The band's performance in the United Arab Emirates was a first for Metallica, there are now not many countries in the world where the band haven't played!

Another first for Hetfield, Hammett, Ulrich, and Trujillo was their visit to India. This gig was cancelled due to safety concerns, and the organisers of the concert subsequently arrested on fraud charges.

awesome, this is a show that was played live in a very islamic fundamentalist country. That means something is getting beyond all recognition, muzak is the new universal belief.

UNITED INTERNET USERS =PROPAGANDA NEED U= The future of our children is the right to decide and choose. People left to themselves. Noise information was blind us. Do not look at them! Only the truth of existence. NO! SOPA, ACTA, PIPA NO!!! Ignorance.

2012Romney 17-Nov-11 10:39 PM

I think I finally figured out what I wasn't liking about Kirk's live sound during solos.

He needs to turn the tone down.


thismeanswar88 17-Nov-11 04:22 PM

Holy shit. In the beginning of ride the lightning James sounds like me trying to sing high notes... That's not good
