METALLICA Guitarist Joins TOOL On Stage In Hawaii (Video)

January 17, 2011

METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett joined TOOL on stage during the band's January 14 concert at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. They played a partial cover of METALLICA's "Orion" and before segueing into the TOOL song "Lateralus". Fan-filmed video footage of the performance can be viewed below.

Hammett previously jammed with TOOL at the Neal S. Blaisdell Center in August 2006.

METALLICA wrapped up its two-year-long "World Magnetic" tour on November 21, 2010 with the last of three shows in Melbourne, Australia, bringing to an end a trek that began on September 12, 2008 in Berlin to support the band's ninth studio album, "Death Magnetic". The group issued a statement compiling the tour's numbers, which included "45 countries, 143 arena shows, 34 festival shows, 29 stadium shows, four club/theater shows, three TV/radio shows, two Hall of Fame shows, 3790 songs, and not a single setlist was the same."

The group played a total of 216 shows in 800 days.

METALLICA is already confirmed to headline Rock In Rio this September in Brazil. The band will also make several festival appearances in Europe over the summer.

METALLICA turns 30 in January. The earliest version of the group was formed by Lars Ulrich and frontman James Hetfield in January 1981 after Ulrich answered a newspaper ad from Hetfield.

The band threw an end-of-tour party on November 19, 2010 in Melbourne for its 120-member crew, which was described as "surprisingly tame" by Heraldsun.com.au. The band flew home to the U.S. on a private jet immediately after coming offstage.
