Brace yourselves, metalheads — it’s Friday, and that means one thing on MetalMania Live: an epic, full-throttle Metallica concert played in its entirety.
Tonight, we turn back the clock to May 21, 1999, when Metallica took over Rock im Park in Nuremberg, Germany with a blistering set at the Frankenstadion — a night that’s etched into the history books of heavy metal.
From the opening roar of the crowd to the final deafening encore, Metallica’s Rock im Park ’99 show was a masterclass in live metal performance. And now, for one night only, you can experience it as it happened — raw, real, and ridiculously loud.
🔥 Why This Show Matters: Metallica at Peak Power
Set against the backdrop of a golden European sunset and a crowd tens of thousands strong, Metallica didn’t just play a show — they delivered a sonic earthquake.
Coming off the heels of their Garage Inc. and Reload releases, the band had an arsenal of new energy and a setlist that spanned their evolution — from early thrash days to stadium-shaking anthems.
Expect live renditions of:
- Enter Sandman — explosive as ever, opening with crowd-shaking fireworks
- Master of Puppets — a relentless 8-minute epic that lit the stadium ablaze
- Sad but True — down-tuned, crushing, and thunderous
- Battery, One, For Whom the Bell Tolls, and Whiplash — performed with the ferocity of a band still fighting for its crown
- Nothing Else Matters — a rare emotional high point, with lighters (and fists) raised skyward
It wasn’t just a concert. It was a war cry. A metal communion. A masterful example of what it means to command a stage with sheer fire and precision.
