Metallica Goes Jimi Hendrix During Recent Performance of “The Star Spangled Banner”

No one in their right mind would attempt to repeat Jim Hendrix’s guitar-only rendition of The Star Spangled Banner, right?

Wrong.

The Northern California-based rock group Metallica did just that prior to the San Francisco Giants taking on the Los Angeles Angels this past Saturday at AT&T Park.

And it was pretty amazing.

Talk about shredding it.

James Hetfield and his group absolutely killed this performance. And while some will never compare it to what Hendrix did at Woodstock in 1969, it appears to have come darn close.
