Metallica has given a particularly spectacular performance in Munich thanks to the help of a thunderstorm.The heavy metal band recently paid a visit to Munich’s Olympiastadion last night (May 24), where they closed out their show in a rather striking fashion.Metallica’s shows are known for their lighting setup, which sees the band surrounded by a circle of eight glowing lights that shoot lasers from the top.

At Munich last night, this was made all the more impressive with the help of lightning, which struck just as the band commened their classic ‘Master of Puppets’.A fan has captured the moment the lightning struck in the sky, writing: “Went to the Metallica concert in München today, a thunderstorm happened and it made for the coolest fucking intro of all time”.Watch the incredible moment below:went to the Metallica concert in München today, a thunderstorm happened and it made for the coolest fucking intro of all time pic.twitter.com/Ta4eQHYckd— Jane (@SunsetGirlJane) May 24, 2024NME reviewed Metallica when they visited Amsterdam, giving their live show four stars: “Metallica have always been a gateway band for heavy music, but there’s a renewed excitement around them now.

Tonight’s surprising, ambitious and giddy gig matches that energy at every turn. Their closing crossover track ‘Master Of Puppets’ naturally goes off, but then so do all of the songs on the setlist.“From the gorgeous ‘Nothing Else Matters’ through to the unifying ‘Seek & Destroy’, the majesty of heavy music is on full display throughout the gig as Metallica prove why they’re clearly still the greatest metal band around.”We also spoke with the band last year, where drummer Lars Ulrich opened up about the impact of Stranger Things on their fanbase.
