In this clip from Gibson TV’s Icons with Kirk Hammett, the Metallica guitarist shares an unforgettable story from the Monsters Of Rock Festival at the LA Memorial Coliseum in 1988 — a moment when a simple crowd call during “Creeping Death” turned into a tidal wave of mayhem as thousands of fans surged forward, flooding the field and creating total chaos.



“Master Of Puppets”, the title track of Metallica’s third studio album, released in March 1986 via Elektra Records, has surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.

The band shared the news via social media, stating, “We’re psyched to share that “Master of Puppets” has just made its way into Spotify’s Billions Club – Thank you! Send it on its way to two billion, and listen to every member of the Billions Club at metallica.lnk.to/MoP-Billions.
