The celebrations continue for Record Store Day ambassadors 2016 Metallica who – after performing at the record store Rasputin Music for Record Store Day (April 16th), – headed to El Cerrito, CA, to revisit their home from 1983 through 1986 where classics Ride the Lightning and Master Of Puppets were born!
“We thought it would be cool to come over here and buy the garage (at 3132 Carlson Boulevard),” Lars Ulrich remarks in the video below. “We were going to put it inside HQ in Marin, but the garage is long gone. Whoever has the garage please return it. Maybe we would finish the new record quicker if we were in that fucking garage!”
“This is unbelievable be back in this place,” Hetfield added. “I think we’ve all forgotten a lot of stuff that has happened in our history, but this is a great way to jog our memory.”
The band found a way to rent the old Metallica Mansion in El Cerrito for the weekend and brought in a production company to recreate the theme of the old Metal Days when James, Lars, Mark Whitaker, and Clive The Dog called it home. Beyond amazing. Sadly THE Garage is long gone and a three unit apartment / garage sits on the spot behind the house now… but it was one last party at 3132 Carlson.. and they amazingly rented out the new three car garage to serve as the bar for the event. Metal.
