'The Ultimate Metallica Show' – Recap

Boston Calling is going to look a lot different than we expected this year, but I'm hoping we see some incredible, one-of-a-kind tributes to Taylor Hawkins and the Foo Fighters over Memorial Day weekend.

Who knows what Metallica will have up their sleeves, but based on Lars Ulrich's beautiful words for Hawkins, we'll get something special.

As we continue counting down the days to Metallica headlining Boston Calling—we are less than eight weeks away—The Ultimate Metallica Show will keep getting you excited by playing snippets from some of the band's shows in New England over the last 20-plus years.

If you missed last night's show, don't worry. I have you covered. Check out the full playlist below.

Some of Our Favorite Live Photos of Kirk Hammett

Kirk Hammett is a shredder, plain and simple. Or more specifically, he's a ripper. The Ripper.

Whether you're listening to him ripping or watching videos or staring at photos, one thing is obvious: this guy is a six-string master. While we could never create a collection that covers Hammett's entire history with Metallica, we've picked a handful of some of our favorite photos over the last 20 years showing the guitarist rocking out and having fun.

Here Are Some of Our Favorite Metallica T-Shirts

Metallica have not only created some of the best heavy metal in the last 40 years, they've also created some of the most iconic T-shirts.

In the gallery below, we've picked out some of our favorite T-shirts that are currently available at Metallica's official online store. Which one is your favorite?
