Metallica Begins “Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson” Residency

This week, Metallica is taking "The Late Show With Craig Ferguson" by storm, kicking off a week's worth of performances, first with "Hit The Lights" on Monday and then "Fuel" on Tuesday.

Both performances of the band's residency to this point are below the text.

We're seeing this very cool trend start with some of the bigger bands around the world. Of course, the Foo Fighters stayed a week on David Letterman's show to promote the band's new album, and now we have arguably the biggest band in metal staying a week on Craig Ferguson's.

All in all, it's a cool deal, and a reason to stay up late and tune it. Check out the performances from the past two nights below.
