Metallica have shared a video of them performing a rare acoustic version of their classic track The Four Horsemen.
It’s the latest material taken from the band’s upcoming album Helping Hands… Live & Acoustic At The Masonic, which was recorded in early November, with the event organised in aid of their All Within My Hands Foundation.
The track originally appeared on Metallica’s debut album Kill ‘Em All in 1983, with the new version carrying a distinctly country vibe.
Check it out below.
On the same night that the band played the San Francisco venue, they held an auction to raise money for the charity and raised $1.3 million. That money will be split between Feeding America and the American Association of Community Colleges.
Helping Hands… Live & Acoustic At The Masonic will be released on February 1 on limited edition 140g coloured vinyl through independent record stores and via streaming and digital platforms. Proceeds from sales will also go towards the band’s charity.
Meanwhile, fans now have the chance to vote for the best Metallica song of all time. We’re running an online poll to find out what you think is their best track. Look out for the final results in the coming weeks.
Metallica will return to the UK and Europe on the next leg of their WorldWired tour from May.
