HAIL!, the supergroup featuring vocalist Tim Ripper Owens (BEYOND FEAR, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-JUDAS PRIEST), guitarist Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), drummer Paul Bostaph (ex-SLAYER, TESTAMENT) and James Lomenzo (ex-MEGADETH) filling in, in the wake of their bassist Paul Gray’s (SLIPKNOT) untimely death, performed at the Rock In Rio Festival in Madrid, Spain on Monday, June 14th with METALLICA and MOTÖRHEAD.

Hail! check in with the following update:

"Rock In Rio Madrid...

What’s the best way to end a tour? Jamming with MOTÖRHEAD and being onstage with METALLICA has to rank high. After our set, we went over to watch Motörhead who crushed the huge mass of people in attendance. During 'Going To Brazil', Phil Campbell motioned for Andreas (who was appropriately wearing his Brazilian soccer jersey) to come up onstage so Phil’s tech handed Andreas a guitar and without any preparation or thought, Andreas ran out in front of 80,000+ people and tore it up! The ability to perform unexpectedly on cue like that without any warning whatsoever is simply astonishing.

Andreas got a second chance when he came back out for their encore of 'Overkill”'and once again, he rose to the spotlight. To see our buddy jamming with Motörhead, and to marvel at the journey that this once young kid practicing guitar in Brazil to now be onstage playing with Motörhead to this many people in Spain, made all of us super proud and judging on the huge smile on Andreas’s face, he loved every minute of it even more than we did. Thank you Phil and Lemmy and Mikkey, you are all heroes to this culture and our love and respect to you is paramount. Hail! Motörhead.

After the set we hung with Mikkey and Phil until the Metallica guys came by, said hello and took some quick pictures before their show. We watched the whole show from the stage, either on the side or behind a screen 5 feet behind Lars. Every time I see Metallica I get humbly reminded of why they are the biggest band in the world. To James, Lars, Kirk, Robert (Cliff and Jason too) – we graciously honor your success and bask in your glory, you truly paved the way. Hail! Metallica."
