It was only natural for Metallica<\/a> to commemorate Halloween in some way during their performance at the Las Vegas Sphere<\/a> last night (Oct. 31). That said, few fans could\u2019ve anticipated them pulling out underrated<\/a> Metallica<\/em> deep cut \u201cOf Wolf and Man<\/a>\u201d or<\/em> incorporating the Addams Family<\/a> <\/em>theme into their requisite \u201cKirk and Rob Doodle.\u201d<\/p>\n At first, Metallica\u2019s Halloween show was business as usual, with \u201cBlackened,\u201d \u201cFuel\u201d and \u201cLeper Messiah\u201d kicking things off. Nearly halfway into their set, however, the quartet followed \u201c72 Seasons\u201d with \u201cOf Wolf and Man\u201d (per setlist.fm<\/a>).<\/p>\n It was their first time playing the song since their July 3 show at London Stadium<\/a>, and frontman James Hetfield<\/a> declared, \u201cSeek the wolf in thyself\u201d before launching into the track. As you can see in the fan-shot footage below (shared by YouTube accounts Hive of Live<\/a> and SUPERCONES<\/a>), the song was complemented by visuals of an apocalyptically red sky and<\/em>\u00a0of a giant door adorned by bronze bodies and the heads of all four Metallica members.<\/p>\n Shortly thereafter, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett<\/a> and bassist Rob Trujillo<\/a> \u2013 who was wearing a bright red wig \u2013 made sure their usual \u201cDoodle\u201d fit the night by mixing \u201cI Disappear\u201d (from the Mission: Impossible 2<\/a><\/em> soundtrack) with the theme from The Addams Family<\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cKirk, you want to say something [to] my little Halloween homies?\u201d it sounds like Trujillo said prior to the duo\u2019s performance. In response, it sounds like Hammett joked: \u201cGuess what my Halloween costume is right now. I\u2019m a CIA scion. Ha!\u201d<\/p>\n Then, Trujillo explained:<\/p>\n He\u2019s Kirk von Hammett! I call him Kirkular. Anyway, we love to jam and we whipped up a little jam for you. Part of this is in celebration and in honor of tonight. Let\u2019s see if we can figure this out. This is gonna be a lot of fun. You ready, Kirk? Alright. We\u2019ve been working on this for a while. Okay.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Outside of those tunes, Metallica\u2019s Halloween show at the Sphere also featured classics such as \u201cFor Whom the Bell Tolls,\u201d \u201cOne\u201d and \u201cEnter Sandman.\u201d<\/p>\n You can see their full setlist and fan-filmed clips of those tracks \u2013 among others \u2013 below!<\/p>\n per setlist.fm<\/a><\/p>\n READ MORE: Metallica Release Stunning Pro-Shot Videos of Full Songs From Sphere Residency<\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n In case you missed it, Metallica recently released pro-shot videos of several songs from their ongoing Las Vegas Sphere residency.<\/p>\n As Loudwire<\/a> reported last week, the group uploaded professionally filmed videos of \u201cThe Call of Ktulu,\u201d from Oct. 1; \u201cDevil\u2019s Dance\u201d from Oct. 3; \u201cFade to Black\u201d from Oct. 8; and other live Sphere renditions to their official YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n Next year, Metallica are hitting the road with support from Limp Bizkit<\/a> and Avatar<\/a>.
