Very interesting thing happened at the second Metallica concert in Madrid, Spain in Palacio De Deportes on 14th of July 2009. After the intro tape and all the bombs for Metallica’s song One, James Hetfield came on stage and started playing Fade To Black instead. He went on and the guys ended up playing full version of Fade To Black and not One.
Joeytpg from The Metallica Club was at the show and he reports:
“At the end of the song he said “Surprised? Even I was” so he just fucked it up and knowing James, he went with it.
It’s funny because as you know Kirk’s intro solo in One is clean guitar, and Fade To Black is distorted, so you could hear the first couple of notes in clean then Justin (Kirk’s tech) stepped on the Overdrive. I guess they weren’t sure if James would stop.
Also funny that Rob had to change bass quickly and then Lars came in to sit on the drums with his head down as in “Jesus man, what an epic FUCK UP!” hehehe I could almost hear him thinking about it.
Metallica’s Lars Ulrich has already started a joke. On the following show, at Hallendtadion in Zurich, Switzerland, Lars wrote One (Not Fade To Black) on the setlist. This is the setlist thanks to MetOnTour:
