The metal icons continue to offer goodies to their fans: from pre-show meet & greets, to pro-shot footage of their shows, they understand and celebrate the artist/fan relationship.
Take the latest offering from Metallica: pro-shot footage of some of the band’s day at the first Big 4 show on U.S. soil, this past Saturday in California.
