Metallica finished their weeklong residency at the ‘Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ by performing an incredible rendition of ‘Sad But True’.
Throughout the week, the band have performed the songs ‘Hit the Lights,’ ‘Fuel,’ ‘For Whom The Bell Tolls’ and ‘Enter Sandman.’
The iconic rock band performed Friday night despite 21 November being ‘No Music Day’ which Ferguson referenced in his opening monologue. Conceived by the KLF mastermind Bill Drummond, No Music Day has several meanings, such as a stand against the “cheapening of music as an artform.”

Lars Ulrich spoke to Rolling Stone about the residency to Rolling Stone, saying: "What better way to celebrate Craig's awesome tenure at CBS than to come and shake the rafters for a whole week, nothing to sell, nothing to promote (except a reissue DVD)...purely hanging at Craig's personal request. Bring it!"
Although Craig Ferguson’s talk show concluded this year, Metallica have shown no signs of slowing down in 2014, having performed a killer set at this year’s Glastonbury. The band are set to release the 10th anniversary Blu-ray edition of ‘Some Kind of Monster’ on 24 November.
