Metallica- Load @30- James Hetfield, Kirk Hammett 6-1

After the superstar-making 1990 “Black Album”, it took five long years for the members of Metallica to catch their collective breath sufficiently to venture a follow-up, Load, in June 1996. Even pre-internet widespread use, the response in popularity and the attendant responsibilities to be available to a voracious worldwide fanbase left precious little time for writing and recording.

Lead singer/guitarist/songwriter James Hetfield and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett bring the full Load including “Ain’t My Bitch”, “Until It Sleeps”, and “King Nothing” from the multi-platinum project on its thirtieth anniversary here In the Studio the week of June 1. -Redbeard
