Metallica are sharing some video of their surprise afternoon set at the Orion Music + More festival on Saturday, June 8, which saw the group perform their 1983 album, "Kill 'Em All," in its entirety.

Day 2 of the second annual Orion Music + More festival improved on a number of headaches that accompanied day 1. For instance, the lines that wrapped around city blocks to board the shuttle buses to the festival were re-organized, and fans were essentially able to walk right onto a waiting bus rather than standing in line.

Rolling Stone reported earlier this week that one local musician got an honorable introduction at the Orion Festival at Belle Isle Park.

Metallica frontman James Hetfield and other heavy metal bands will be playing this weekend on Belle Isle, across from weary Windsor residents.

Metallica are doing some expensive house-hunting in Detroit this weekend. After Atlantic City proved a suboptimal host for last year's Orion Music + More Fest, the bandmembers are still on the search for a location to permanently hold the annual festival, this year in its second incarnation.

As if playing in three bands and curating one of the sideshows isn't enough, this year's Orion Music + More festival may give Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo a little more work on his plate in the future.

Want to know what Metallica could play Sunday night to close the Orion Music +Festival on Detroit's Belle Isle? The band appeared to give Rolling Stone Magazine some clues about its set list this week during its Bay Area rehearsals.

It was ten years ago today - June 5, 2003 - that the world's biggest heavy metal band, Metallica , released their first studio album in six years, to the incalculable excitement of millions of patient fans.

Metallica chose the artists who will perform at Orion and will close the festival on Sunday night.

There are tribute bands that perform as a full-time profession and convert it into a profitable business, even as their goal remains to pay homage to the original bands.

The bass player joined the 'Enter Sandman' group in 1986 to replace Cliff Burton - who had died in a road accident - and left in 2001 after relationships between the band members broke down.
