MetalMania Live Radio exists for one reason and one reason only: Every. Song. Played. Is. The LIVE Version.
No studio tricks. No polish. No compromises. This is the station where metal and hard rock hit you with the same force as a front-row pit — raw, loud, and real.
Tonight, we unleash a monster. A hand-selected Metallica recording that proves why they remain kings of the live stage: Metallica — San Francisco, CA | February 6, 2016.
Captured at AT&T Park the night before Super Bowl 50, the performance was appropriately named “The Night Before.” The NFL may not have thought Metallica was a fit for their halftime spectacle… so the band delivered their own show — louder, heavier, and built for the faithful who know real metal belongs on the biggest stage.
A Show Born Out of Defiance
Denied the halftime spotlight? Fine. Metallica responded the only way metal legends do:
They leveled a stadium with 40,000 screaming fans instead.
San Francisco — their home turf. The energy? Off the charts.
The riffs? Even sharper than the pyros that lit up the night sky.
Hetfield, Ulrich, Hammett, and Trujillo fed off a crowd that refused to sit, refused to quiet down, and refused anything less than pure mayhem.
This is the performance we’re turning loose on the station tonight — uncut and cranked full blast.
A Setlist That Hits Like a Freight Train
Here’s the devastation you’ll hear — every track LIVE, the MetalMania way:

MetalMania Live Radio — The Home of LIVE Metal Only
If you’re new here, welcome to the only station brave enough to ban studio takes entirely.
Every track we broadcast is performed on a real stage, in front of real fans, with real sweat, fire, and chaos.
From Metallica to Maiden. From Pantera to Priest.
If it isn’t live — we don’t play it. Ever.
That’s what sets MetalMania Live Radio apart from every other rock station on the planet.
This is a lifestyle — not a playlist.
