Two titans of entertainment, Howard Stern and Metallica, recently converged in a surprising and exciting way! Beyond Howard Stern's usual radio show, which often dominates headlines, a unique event showcased the enduring appeal of both Stern and the legendary metal band.
Metallica's Intimate Gig: A SiriusXM Celebration
Metallica recently played a super-intimate show at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett, New York. With a capacity of just 250, this was their smallest gig in nearly a decade, going back to a 2016 performance or even their 2013 Antarctica show! The performance celebrated the launch of their year-long SiriusXM channel, “Maximum Metallica.”
Stern's SiriusXM Channel to Air Metallica Concert
The band rocked through a setlist of classics like “Master Of Puppets,” “Enter Sandman,” and “Fade To Black,” even throwing in a cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” as a tribute. But here's the connection: this exclusive concert, “Metallica Live At Stephen Talkhouse,” will not only premiere on SiriusXM's "Maximum Metallica" but will also air on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM channel “Howard 101” on Friday, Sept. 5th. This brings Metallica's raw energy to Stern's massive audience.
This unexpected collaboration highlights the power of SiriusXM in bringing together diverse audiences and iconic figures. For Metallica fans, it's a chance to experience the band in a rare, intimate setting. For Howard Stern fans, it's an opportunity to discover (or rediscover) the enduring power of Metallica's music.
Metallica, formed in 1981, has sold nearly 125 million albums worldwide, solidifying their place as one of the most influential rock bands in history. Their SiriusXM channel promises a year of metal mayhem, while their appearance on Howard Stern's show further cements their legacy.
