MetalMania Live Radio — Where Every Song Played Is the Live Version
At MetalMania Live Radio, there’s one rule that defines everything we do: every song played is the live version. No exceptions. No overdubs. No slick studio touch-ups. What you hear is what was played — raw, loud, and in your face — straight from the stage.
Every riff, scream, and drumbeat comes from real concerts that defined generations of metal and hard rock. From the sweat-drenched pits of thrash festivals to the roaring stadiums of global tours, MetalMania Live Radio exists for those who live and breathe the unfiltered power of live metal. Because when it comes to this music, live is the only way it was meant to be heard.
And tonight, we’re turning the volume all the way up.
Tonight’s Metallica Live Radio Show: Monsters of Rock, Germany 1987
This Friday night on MetalMania Live Radio, we’re unleashing one of the most legendary live recordings in the history of heavy metal: Metallica – Live at Monsters of Rock, Germany 1987.
This performance is more than a concert — it’s a turning point. It captures Metallica at the height of their early ferocity, during the monumental Master of Puppets era, when they were rewriting the very rules of heavy metal. With the tragic loss of bassist Cliff Burton still fresh, and Jason Newsted newly on board, this was a band playing with something to prove — and they delivered a performance that scorched the German festival fields and cemented their place among the gods of metal.
Monsters of Rock 1987 – When Metallica Took Over Europe
It was August 1987 at the Monsters of Rock Festival in Germany — a sea of leather, denim, and devil horns stretched as far as the eye could see. Metallica stormed the stage before tens of thousands of screaming fans, and what followed was a relentless barrage of speed, precision, and pure adrenaline.
The band was in rare form. James Hetfield’s vocals tore through the night with commanding grit, Kirk Hammett’s solos shrieked like fire from his guitar, Jason Newsted’s bass thundered beneath it all, and Lars Ulrich kept the chaos perfectly on edge with his pounding drum assault.
This was Metallica unchained — furious, loud, and unstoppable.
Setlist: Metallica Live at Monsters of Rock, Germany 1987
Every song from this set is pure thrash perfection — performed with the hunger and energy that defined an era:
- The Ecstasy of Gold (Intro)
- Battery
- Master of Puppets
- Welcome Home (Sanitarium)
- For Whom the Bell Tolls
- Ride the Lightning
- Fade to Black
- Creeping Death
- Seek & Destroy
Each track hits like a hammer. Battery opens the show with unstoppable force; Master of Puppets takes the crowd into a chaotic trance; Fade to Black offers a haunting mid-set breather before the fury resumes. And when Seek & Destroy closes out the night, it’s not just a song — it’s an anthem, a declaration that Metallica had officially conquered Europe.
