Metallica's National Anthem Will Make You Cry A Single Tear Of Joy For The Red, White + Blue

Metallica performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a San Francisco Giants game this weekend, and their version gave Jimi Hendrix's iconic cover a run for its money! James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett donned Giants jersey as they stood just off the pitchers mount, backed by two similarly decked-out amps. The performance was in honor of the third annual Metallica Day at San Fran's AT&T park, and drummer Lars Ulrich was also on hand to throw the ceremonial first pitch and lead the crowd in "Take Me Out To The Ball Game."

Give a listen, and bask in the America-ness.
