Plus James Hetfield has a "shady" new sideline

Published 3rd Jul 2012

The band have released footage from this year's Donington based festival, including clips from the tuning room and a performance of 'One', which was the band's penultimate track from the set.

Watch the performance below:

Meanwhile frontman James Hetfield has partnered with Sutro Eyeware to create his very own pair of signature JH Sutro sunglasses, available in black or tortoise.

According to the official Metallica website the sunglasses feature "the signature Sutro 3Click™ Hinge and Zeiss optics. The Sutro 3Click™ Hinge is constructed of surgical grade stainless steel. It will not lose screws, is 10x stronger than a traditional hinge and gives the frame a structure that stays tight over time. Zeiss polycarbonate lenses block 100% of both UVA and UVB sun rays and provide the ultimate in impact resistance with the industry's toughest hard coating for superior scratch resistance."

"James was very particular in what he was looking for and he just wasn’t finding it out there, so we sat down and after extensive prototyping we put his vision into this frame,” says designer Jeff Sand, according to Blabbermouth.

"(They’re) Built to look faster than a speeding riff and to handle the life of a road dog like me,” Hetfield says.

You may want to start your pennies, however, as these little beauties will set you back a cool $219.99.
