To entertain fans during the lockdown, Heavy Metal band Metallica, introduced #MetallicaMondays in their YouTube and Facebook. The program goes online every Monday at 8 pm Eastern Time.
Each Monday, Metallica will post their concert from places they went to before the pandemic. This week, they live-streamed their concert in Munich, Germany, last May 31, 2015. A good set of amazing Metallica songs will be showed tonight.
The band says that while they are staying home in response to the pandemic, they find themselves "missing live music" so they thought of diving "back into a few of our favorite shows at a socially responsible distance?" The band claims that "now more than ever, we're in this together, and staying connected is how we'll get through it." Hence, they bring "a series of Live Metallica shows right to your couch!"
