Metallica have continued their four-night residency on Jimmy Kimmel Live with a fierce performance of the title track of their classic 1986 album Master Of Puppets. The band have been appearing on the show this week promote their new album 72 Seasons, which is released today.
Previously on the residency, the band performed Lux Æterna, the first single to be taken from 72 Seasons, and The Black Album's Holier Than Thou. All three videos are below.
Metallica previously appeared on the show in 2022, to perform For Whom The Bell Tolls, take part in a "superfan" quiz, and to read out one-star reviews of the Black Album.
Yesterday, a fan in New Zealand became the first person in the world to buy 72 Seasons over the counter, as New Plymouth record store Vinyl Countdown opened at midnight NZ time to sell the album.
Metallica kick off their world tour on April 27 at the Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. Full dates below. Tickets are on sale now.
