Metallica brought their Winter Tour to the Legacy Arena At The BJCC in Birmingham on Tuesday, marking the first time they have played the city since 1992. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act gave some love the locals by performing a portion of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama.”
The cover came during the nightly “Kirk & Rob Doodle” portion of the show when guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo typically jam on different songs. Last evening’s version featured a rare appearance during the “Doodle” by the band’s lead singer James Hetfield who sang part of the iconic classic rock tune.
