This will become noisy before the NBA Finals on Wednesday.
Heavy metal rockers James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett, based in San Francisco Metallica, will present "The Star-Spangled Banner" before the third game at Oracle Arena in Oakland.
The series between the Golden State Warriors' home team and the Toronto Raptors is tied 1-1.
Metallica's Twitter site announced Tuesday the pre-game musical news.
"Look for James and Kirk to play the national anthem before tomorrow's board, when @Warriors will host the @Raptors of the #NBAFinals third match."
The Canadian national anthem will be performed by Canadian singer Tenille Townes.
Metallica had already performed the national anthem in the fifth game of the 2015 Warriors Championship.
And Hetfield and Hammett played a heavy-guitar version of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Oracle Park in San Francisco for baseball fans during a sold-out match between Giants and Yankees earlier this season.
Here is a preview of what we will probably see.
For the real students of the School of Rock, here's another version of the 2017 Giants game.
