Just before the release of their Blacklist album, Metallica performed their iconic hit “Nothing Else Matters” live with Miley Cyrus on The Howard Stern Show earlier today (September 9). The group announced the special earlier this week on their social media.
Cyrus had previously recorded a cover of the song for the Blacklist album, which also featured Robert Trujillo, Elton John on piano, and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. While this rendition is quite different from Metallica’s, this new performance sounds exactly like the original – except Cyrus tackles the majority of vocals and James Hetfield joins in on the choruses.
According to various posts on Twitter, Metallica praised Cyrus on the show, saying, “She belongs to rock. She’s making the right choices and making the transition to an extremely respected singer.” John apparently also called her “the best rock ‘n’ roll singer around.”
Listen to a recording of the ensemble and see some reactions below.
The Blacklist album commemorates the 30th anniversary of The black album with covers performed by over 50 artists including Corey Taylor, Ghost, Weezer, Volbeat, Cage the Elephant and more. The collection will be available digitally and streaming tomorrow (September 10) and will be released on CD and vinyl on October 1. Reserve your copy here now.
