One of the highlights of the Live Earth extravaganza on Saturday, July 7 was Metallica’s performance at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The band performed four songs, three of which are featured below: “Enter Sandman,” “Nothing Else Matters” and “Sad But True.” Metallica also joined Spinal Tap onstage, which we’ll showcase on Tuesday morning.
On the official Metallica Web site, drummer Lars Ulrich spoke about the importance of the event, which aimed to raise worldwide awareness of the global warming crisis through full-day concerts on seven different continents. “I love my sons. I want them to ‘inherit the Earth’ for real!,” Ulrich said. “We keep waiting for future generations to solve the problems; to invent cleaner technology; to pay the costs…that’s the same as passing the buck. I want the buck to stop here, now. I want lawmakers and laws to impose change. Nothing else will keep this world safe for my sons.”
