VIDEO OF THE DAY, PART I: METALLICA WITH JOEY JORDISON

Download Festival, 2004. Lars Ulrich is rushed to the hospital with an “emergency illness” (long since rumored to be marital problems), and Metallica, not wanting to cancel their headlining gig, recruit a series of drummers- including Slayer’s Dave Lombardo and Slipknot’s Joey Jordison- to fill Ulrich’s spot for the show. Below: the final number of the evening- Metallica playing “Enter Sandman”… with Jordison on drums.
