Watch Metallica Perform The National Anthem Before Game 5 In Oakland

Here is a rockin version of the Star spangles Banner before game 5 in Oakland. James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett of Metallica consider the bay area home and felt privileged to perform. I wonder if founding member of Metallica, Lars Ulrich and Robert Trujillo were in the audience? 

NBA Golden State Warriors were hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers in game 5 .

According to the Metallica website:

“Go Warriors!,” ”We’re incredibly lucky to have another winning team here in the Bay Area as the Golden State Warriors took the NBA Western Conference title and are facing the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.” They continued. “By now we’re guessing that you've noticed that we like to support our home sports teams, so to continue in that tradition James and Kirk will be on hand at Game 5 on Sunday, June 14th.”

Loudwire is reporting that last month, the San Francisco Giants baseball team held it’s third "Metallica Day,” where Hetfield and Hammett performed the National Anthem, Lars Ulrich threw out the first pitch and Robert Trujillo announced “Play Ball.” The MLB team even debuted black jerseys in honor of the group. Metallica was also in attendance earlier in the year when the San Jose Sharks hockey team had a “Metallica Night.”
