Metallica stream Sphere performance of Sad But True

Metallica is streaming video of a performance of its 1991 classic, “Sad But True”, from an October 15 performance at Sphere Las Vegas.

The fifth single from “Metallica” (aka The Black Album) was delivered during the fall date as part of the group’s Life Burns Faster residency

“The Black Album” has been certified 20x platinum for US sales in excess of 20 million copies.

The project’s 1991 release not only gave Metallica its first No. 1 album in no fewer than 10 countries – including a 4-week run at No. 1 in the US, while its unrelenting series of singles - "Enter Sandman", "The Unforgiven", "Nothing Else Matters", "Wherever I May Roam", and "Sad But True" - fueled the band's rise to stadium headlining, radio and MTV dominating household name status.

Metallica is also sharing video of a performance of its 1986 track, “Battery”, from the October 15 appearance.
