Metallica and Mustaine had been on stage together during the Big 4 shows, but not like this. Dave Mustaine once again fulfilled the role he had back in 1982 and 1983, the lead guitarist of Metallica even only for three songs. Metallica and Dave Mustaine together performed “Phantom Lord”, “Jump In The Fire” and “Metal Militia” just like they did back in 1982 and 1983. How we all really wish Cliff Burton were there too.
Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield, side by side doing what they do best.
It is even more surreal to see Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett “being in Metallica” at the same time.
It might have been 1982 and 1983 again.
Note to James Hetfield and Dave Mustaine: It’s not too late to collaborate together again.
