Metallica Brings SoCal Energy to the East Coast


Yo, LA fam, let’s talk about some serious rock ‘n’ roll vibes that just shook the East Coast with a West Coast spirit! Metallica, our hometown metal legends who’ve shredded stages from the Sunset Strip to San Diego, took over a tiny club in Amagansett, New York, on August 28 for a show that had everyone buzzing. The Stephen Talkhouse, a cozy spot usually fitting just 250 peeps, set up an outdoor stage to double the crowd to 500 - and trust, it was packed with screaming fans ready for a wild night.


This wasn’t just any gig - it was a full-on celebration of Metallica’s brand-new SiriusXM channel, Maximum Metallica, launching on channel 42. Repping SiriusXM were big names like Howard Stern and Jose Mangin, but the real Hollywood-to-Malibu energy came from the celeb guests. We’re talking Paul McCartney, Chad Smith, Chris Jericho, Michael J. Fox, and even Sylvester Stallone chilling in the crowd - talk about an A-list mosh pit!

Setlist That Slapped Harder Than a SoCal Summer


Metallica didn’t hold back, delivering a 13-song set that was pure fire. They hit the crowd with heavy classics, including five bangers from The Black Album, three from Ride the Lightning, and a mix of tracks from four other albums. They even threw in a traditional cover of “Whiskey in the Jar” that had the whole place singing along like it was a backyard BBQ in Venice Beach.


One of the night’s highlights? A sweet tribute to the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne. Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo dropped a “doodle” - a spontaneous jam of “Crazy Train” - that sent the crowd into a frenzy. It was like watching a piece of rock history unfold right there under the New York stars.

“Man, seeing Metallica pay homage to Ozzy with ‘Crazy Train’ was unreal - it felt like the whole club was part of something legendary,” said a fan who caught the epic moment live.

Star Power and Where to Catch the Replay


With a guest list that could rival any red carpet in Hollywood, this show was as much about the vibes as the music. Imagine rocking out to “Enter Sandman” while Paul McCartney and Sylvester Stallone are headbanging nearby - surreal, right? It’s the kind of crossover event that screams LA glitz meeting NY grit.


Couldn’t make it to Amagansett? No worries, fam - Metallica’s got you covered. The entire concert was recorded and will air on the Maximum Metallica channel starting September 1, plus you can catch it on Howard Stern’s channel, Howard 101, on September 5 at 7 PM ET/PT. So, crank up your speakers and pretend you’re front row at this iconic gig.
