Watch Metallica Perform “Frantic” for the First Time in Eight Years
The band dug up the 'St. Anger' classic for the opening night of their latest run of WorldWired tour dates.
Metallica kicked off the newest leg of their ongoing WorldWired tour in Lisbon, Portugal on May 1. The opening night setlist for the newest trek saw the band add several less-played songs to the lineup, including the St. Anger opening track “Frantic,” which was last performed eight years ago at the Fillmore in San Francisco.
