Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo play "The Final Countdown" at the Metallica concert in Stockholm, Sweden on May 5, 2018. On the recent leg of Metallica's WorldWired tour, Kirk and Robert have played a famous local song during their solo doodle/jam session. For example, in Oslo they played "Take on Me" by a-ha: After I heard that, I thought, "Maybe this means they'll play TFC in Stockholm..." And they did!  |

what a crappy version of the song, sorry but no it was horrible even if it just for fun. in cases like this is when you realize how good john norum is as a musician or maybe how bad is kirk hammet xd.

Same thought here, although I thought they might have picked some ABBA track but was still pretty stoked when one of my favourite bands doodles my favourite ever song! So what they butchered it, its still pretty f**king cool I reckon! |

Yes this was pretty bad haha, but indeed, it's all in good fun. I like that they are doing this in every city! I attended this show in Germany (since Amsterdam was sold out in 5 seconds) and they played Scorpions there  |

They did not mean to do a serious cover, but the sentiment is much appreciated.  Rob's part was the really hard one.  |

First listening and thought, the voice isn't really good but.... well anyway. Then comes the solo guitar and I stopped the video. That's just awful but I laughed a lot What's cool is the audience seemed to appreciate it ^^ |

What I thought first is that you could add that in the "worst covers" list. 😀
But I did not want to make anyone to feel bad...
Anyway, thumbs up for the tribute!
