Arguably the biggest metal band of the past forty years is Metallica. The band came to prominence in the mid-80s for their album "Master of Puppets," whose title track has become one of the most iconic metal songs ever written. The band exploded into the mainstream in the next decade with their black album, which made them a household name.
The band has seen consistent touring throughout the career, selling out stadiums and playing massive shows to millions of fans around the world. Songs like "Enter Sandman," "For Whom The Bell Tolls," and "One" have cemented the band as one of the most successful representatives of the metal genre.
At a recent concert, lead singer of the band James Hetfield got on the mic to give a message out to all the fans at the end of the show, and people are pretty moved by his words. Take a look.
Fans left their reactions to the kind words in the comments, showing how affected they were by the care shown by the singer.
"He's so sweet. ❤️"
"METAL GODS!"
"He truly is Papa Het to us all. ♥️"
