Decades later, the band is still going strong\u2014and giving back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Helping Hands benefit concert in Inglewood, California, Metallica treated fans to a rare and intimate performance at the YouTube Theater. The event supported the All Within My Hands Foundation, which helps communities that have supported the band over the years. The organization also encourages fans to get involved and give back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Metallica: Low Man\u2019s Lyric (AWMH - December 13, 2024 - Los Angeles)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hpNifTxDKDk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make the night even more special, Metallica dusted off rarely played songs like Low Man\u2019s Lyric from their 1997 Reload album. The last time they performed it live was back in 1998, making the moment feel like a deep-cut treasure for longtime fans. One fan commented, \u201cCore memory unlocked. Legit forgot about this one for 20+ years. Appropriate winter song.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also performed Fuel, another standout from Reload, which earned the band a Grammy nomination for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1999. Though they didn\u2019t win, the song remains a fan favorite and a reminder of Metallica\u2019s explosive energy in the late \u201890s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with decades of experience and sold-out arenas under their belts, frontman James Hetfield recently opened up about his personal battles. On The Metallica Report podcast, he admitted, \u201cThe mind is the enemy most of the time.\u201d He shared how he works through anxiety before shows, saying, \u201cJust trying to avoid that overthinking\u2026 and be connected to a higher power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through rare performances and honest reflections, Metallica continues to show why they\u2019re not just legends of metal\u2014but legends with heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Metallica: Fuel (AWMH -
