 Bangalore: Defying dark clouds and a sudden downpour, about 50,000 frenzied fans rocked to the item numbers the American heavy metal band Metallica belted out late Sunday in the Bangalore Palace grounds amid tight security.
Putting behind the cancelled debut gig at Gurgaon Friday due to safety concerns, the four-member band - James Hetfield (lead vocalist), Lars Ulrich (drummer), Kirk Hammett (guitarist) and Robert Trujillo (bass player) electrified the already surcharged atmosphere with their popular hits that had the enthused audience asking for more.
Among their hit songs the group treated the fans during their two-hour show included "Kill 'Em All", "Master of Puppets", "Death Magnetic", and "Ride the Lightning".
Swaying to the deafening high octane sound of drums, guitars and other electronic musical instruments under colourful floodlights, the fans, including boys and girls, were seen screaming, cheering and dancing to the beats of one of the world's leading rock bands.
Though rain and heavy screening delayed the start by an hour, the Metallica band came on the centre-stage after an Indian band and a Scottish band warmed up the fans with some lilting numbers that set the tone for the Sunday night fever.
