Metallica appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night – where they performed live and took on a superfan in a quiz about the band.
The thrash icons played their classic track For Whom The Bell Tolls and then faced superfan Dave in a quiz called Who Knows Metallica?
The band also discussed their new, number one album Hardwired… To Self-Destruct and how their iconic band logo was created.
On the band’s logo, drummer Lars Ulrich revealed that frontman Hetfield came up with it. Hetfield says: “On a napkin. When we were thinking up the band and what dream we wanted and how we wanted to conquer the world, it just came out in a sketch.
“I was a perfectionist. I took four years of drafting in high school.”

Metallica also discussed how their children feel about the band, with guitarist Kirk Hammett says: “My kids think that guitar playing is boring. My oldest one plays piano and cello and my eight-year-old plays violin.
“They’re on the good tip I’m just waiting for that moment that they flip over and turn into full-on metalheads.”
