Watch Metallica's absolutely epic version of Whiskey in The Jar from Download Festival

Metallica onstage at Download

As Metallica's M72 tour winds its inexorable way around the globe, the band have regularly been releasing video highlights from shows just passed. 

From the first pair of shows in Amsterdam came Screaming Suicide, Sleepwalk My Life Away and You Must Burn! From Paris it was I Disappear, Blackened, If Darkness Had A Son and King Nothing. You get the idea. 

This week it's been videos from The UK's Download Festival, held the weekend before last, which saw the band play two sets for a crowd of over 100,000. The clips feature two songs from the band's first set of the long weekend, Leper Messiah and Harvester Of Sorrow, and Whiskey In The Jar, which came three songs from the end of Saturday's set. 

It is undeniably epic, with the band's in-the-round stage design cleverly adapted to fit Download's regularly staging, and the crowd bellowing along with every note of the song's riff.  

Metallica finished the European leg of the 2023 M72 tour in Sweden at the weekend. The next show on the M72 Tour is at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on August 4.
