On several occasions, Metallica, the band led by James Hetfield, has rejected the offer. Hetfield pointed out in an interview that they did not want to be part of the event, because they consider that they are not a band that does acrobatics and likes to do lips sync.
T-minus 1 HOUR until "Live in São Paulo, Brazil: May 2, 1993" starts.
The show costs $5.98 and must be purchased before the event starts. Don’t worry if you can’t watch live; you can catch it anytime during the following 48 hours.
