Cleve-Lens: Metallica

Metallica

Six months after Metallica was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the band made a return trip to Cleveland to promote its new album, "Death Magnetic."

Metallica hit the stage Thursday night at Quicken Loans Arena with pure rock energy that engaged Clevelanders for several hours of metal madness, proving the 40-something-year-old thrash-metal pioneers can still rock with the best head bangers out there.
