There’s been a lot of Metallica news lately.
This morning, it was revealed they are reissuing a slew of demos via their own label Blackened Recordings, starting with 1982’s No Life ‘Til Leather. Last month, it was announced they’d perform at the 30th anniversary Rock In Rio concert in Brazil, and in January the San Jose Sharks celebrated Metallica Night, complete with the Bay Area metal legends’ own customized hockey jerseys.
But fuck all that jazz — today we learned Metallica travel on tour with their own washing machines. Take that, Jack White’s guacamole recipe.
Kirk Hammett gave a glimpse of their Tide The Lightning habits last week via Twitter. We hear it was great getting that Dave Mus-stain out of the band back in the ’80s…
