Stream METALLICA's In-Store Performance At Rasputin Music In Berkeley On Saturday

Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees and 2016 Record Store Day Ambassadors Metallica are set to perform live at Berkeley, CA's legendary record store Rasputin Music this Saturday, April 16th in celebration of Record Store Day 2016.

While a few lucky Met Club members and Rasputin customers have won tickets to see the rare in-store performance in person, fans from around the world will also be able to join from the comfort of their own living room via a Facebook Live stream on the band's page facebook.com/metallica. The band will hit the stage around 4:00 PM PST and will be celebrating the releases of the remastered reissues of Kill 'Em All and Ride The Lightning.

Metallica is no stranger to Record Store Day, a special day in support of independent record stores and record store culture worldwide, now in its ninth year. Metallica's support throughout the years has been more than noteworthy with in-store appearances, (remember Mountain View, CA Rasputin Records in 2008, when the band met their fans for hours to kick off the very first Record Store Day) and a healthy handful of special releases. In fact, members James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo made big news just last year when the band's cassette-issued demos collection, No Life Til Leather, ended up as Record Store Day 2015's highest seller. As well, Trujillo's lauded biopic, Jaco, about legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius, was RSD 2014's Official Film and a special Record Store Day exclusive version was released on DVD for Black Friday 2015, including a bonus CD featuring tracks from Trujillo himself. 

On August 20th, Metallica will headline the first rock concert at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, the new home of the NFL's Minnesota Vikings. They are currently in the studio working on a new album.
