According to AltroSpettacolo.it, Robert Trujillo and Kirk Hammett performed a cover of Vasco Rossi's "C'è Chi Dice No" during METALLICA's February 10 concert in Turin, Italy.

METALLICA's show in Turin was also notable for the inclusion of the 1986 classic "Orion" as an homage to the band's late bassist Cliff Burton, who would have celebrated his 56th birthday on that day.
