Paul Liberatore from Marin Independent Journal is reporting:
METALLICA, the heavy-metal band founded by Marin residents James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, played for the first time in Marin on Friday night, a benefit for the Marin History Museum's "Marin Rocks" project.
Concert-goers paid from $100 to $350 a ticket to the sold-out show in the 2,000-seat Marin Veterans Memorial Auditorium in San Rafael. MOONALICE, featuring Marin musicians Pete Sears and Barry Sless, opened the show.
Hetfield and Ulrich are the museum's biggest-name supporters to date. Marin Rocks is scheduled to open next summer in downtown San Rafael with interactive exhibits celebrating Marin's rock music heritage, displays of memorabilia, performance spaces and classrooms for educational programs and workshops.
The band came out a little after 9:30 p.m. with a bone-crushing rendition of their song 'Creeping Death'. After they finished, Hetfield thanked the crowd, saying: "We appreciate you coming out to support the ancestry and the history of music in Marin County."
