The loudest things at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards show — besides kids screaming for Kanye West and 50 Cent — will be Foo Fighters and Fall Out Boy. Not terribly metal, we know.
So, we take you back now to 2003 when Metallica took the stage twice and rattled the rafters with two performances. First, they played a medley of award winning songs: Lenny Kravitz’s “Are You Gonna Go My Way?” Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” The White Stripes‘ “Seven Nation Army” and Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” Then, the band ripped into “Frantic,” from St. Anger, which came out that year.
Watch it here, but since we want to keep out jobs, we beg you anyway to tune in to the Video Music Awards, which take place Sunday night live from Las Vegas.
Metallica at VMA 2003-Frantic (live)
Ok i admit SOME of the St. Anger album wasn’t good if they cut it short it was great, but you guys can’t just ??#@# about the performance. Like true Metallica style they ROCKED OUT they were fantastic, I like to see you try to sing and play a riff like they can. I say well done!
~#%*%~@ this is terribly depressing. What a shame.
yet agian all the metallica haters come out to try to discourage a change in a band who hadnt changend in 20 yrs the biggest peice of crap was load and reload st anger was just crappily recorded.
Disgusting. At least James didn’t completely convert to “singing” voice yet. This is the reason that the popular music today is ruled by rap, r & b, and techno.
remember, *screams with complete improper pronunciation* “keep on searchiiiiIiiIiIing.”
i threw up all over my keyboard on the first riff of frantic.
Talk about a crapfest of all crapfests… Metallica doing a bunch of covers followed by one of the worst songs from their worst album of all time, Suck Anger? You guys call this nostalgia?
