Dress rehearsal footage: Metallica and Lady Gaga "Moth Into Flame"
by Brent Eyestone
Earlier today, Metallica released footage of the dress rehearsal with Lady Gaga for the 59th annual GRAMMYs, an event where what went to air was marred by a confluence of technical difficulties that left most viewers wanting to know how it should have sounded.
Viewing of the rehearsal footage reveals that Lady Gaga and James Hatfield were originally to trade verse one and two leads, both harmonizing verse three, with Gaga going high on choruses and pre-choruses. Robert Trujillo holds down the lower vocal harmony on the choruses per usual.
Footage of the dress rehearsal can be viewed below.
In related news, the musical collaboration with Trujillo featuring Graham, Kurt Ballou, Rick Smith, and myself is nearing some finishing steps and we hope to have it wrapped up by the end of the year.
