Metallica and Lady Gaga’s performance of “Moth Into Flame” at the 59th annual Grammys didn’t exactly go right with the presenter not mentioning Metallica and the fact that James Hetfield’s mic wasn’t working. However, you can now watch footage from the dress rehearsal to see what it should have sounded like.
Metallica issued the following statement on their site:
“Perhaps you’ve heard by now that we experienced a slight bit of a technical difficulty when we hit the stage at the Grammy Awards with Lady Gaga a little over a week ago … hmm, would that qualify as an understatement?!? For those of you who missed it, we’ve posted the live broadcast version here.
We’ve had so many of you ask and wonder “what if,” so we thought it might be fun to also share with you what happened just a few hours earlier that day at the dress rehearsal with all cylinders firing just right. Collaborating, hanging and performing with Gaga was easily one of the most exciting, inspiring and enjoyable experiences of our career – she BRINGS IT every single time!! All we have to say is that we absolutely cannot wait until next time!”
