Metallica & Lady Gaga Work Through Audio Issues in Grammy Performance

These guys rock HARD!

He let his unhappiness be shown at the end of the performance by angrily kicking down his mic stand and throwing his guitar to the ground.

Despite the error not detracting too much from the final performance, James was clearly left fuming by the sound problems.

If you’ve been paying attention to Lady Gaga’s Instagram – and you should – you know that Gaga loves her some metal. But the real crime was not that Gaga performed with Metallica, rather that a technical malfunction caused lead singer James Hatfield’s microphone to short out and not work.

Lady Gaga isn’t the best at keeping secrets. She went full metal, donning a revealing black crop top which showed off her cleavage and back, matching shorts with chains detail on them and fishnet stockings.

Metallica was nominated for Best Rock Song (“Hardwired”), but lost to David Bowie’s “Blackstar”. To Self Destruct album.

This isn’t the first time that the Grammys screwed over Metallica.

“We have something very unique and special planned for this celebratory night, so tune in to watch…” She also showed off the new art in a backless leather outfit on the red carpet.

Gaga dived around the stage, stumbling at times as she hopped between the different levels.

Metallica’s audio issues came just minutes after Adele restarted her George Michael tribute. What was meant to be a duet between he and Gaga started off with only Gaga.
