Metallica have shared a clip of their upcoming appearance on Apple Music’s Carpool Karaoke.
The spin-off of The Late Late Show With James Corden segment began this week – with the band’s participation in the hit series confirmed earlier this year.
Metallica will star on next week’s show, which will air on August 15 – and the new clip features the thrash giants singing along to some surprising songs.
Host Billy Eichner leads the band through familiar territory with Enter Sandman before suggesting they join in with Part Of Your World from Disney’s The Little Mermaid. And after complaints about the lack of drums, bass and a guitar solo from Robert Trujillo and Kirk Hammett – James Hetfield enthusiastically launches into one of the lines.
The clip also sees Metallica surprising supermarket shoppers, while a worker behind the fish counter joins in with the fun. They even thrown in a bit of Rihanna for good measure.
A statement on the new series reads: “Based on the segment that has become a global, viral video sensation on The Late Late Show With James Corden, the new Carpool Karaoke series features 16 celebrity pairings riding along in a car together as they sing tunes from their personal playlists and surprise fans who don’t expect to see big stars belting out tunes one lane over.”
Other celebrities confirmed for the new series include Will Smith, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Ariana Grande, Seth MacFarlane, Michael Strahan, John Cena and Shaquille O’Neal.
