Watch Metallica Rock the National Anthem at the NBA Finals
In a grand tradition that stretches at least as far back to Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, Metallica have their own axe-based interpretation of America's National Anthem. And they just rocked it on live TV for the very lucky folks at the NBA Finals' fifth game between the Cleveland Cavaliers (hashtag LeBron) and the Golden State Warriors.
Watch the patriotic shred-fest—billed as Metallica although it's just James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett—above.
