Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo briefly traded metal for blues-rock on Tuesday at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium in an homage to Georgia music heroes The Allman Brothers Band.
For their nightly “Kirk and Rob Doodle” segment, when the pair spends a few minutes jamming as a duo and often incorporate songs by local legends, Hammett swapped out his recognizable ESP KH2 “Mummy” guitar for a Gibson Les Paul and eased into “No Remorse”. Before long, however, Trujillo called a timeout.
“Nah, nah, nah,” Trujillo said as Hammett quickly slipped on a slide. “We gotta do something for Georgia.” With that, he counted into “One Way Out”, the Delta blues classic famously co-opted by local heroes The Allman Brothers Band, giving Hammett a chance to show off his Southern blues-rock chops. Watch crowd-shot footage of the Trujillo/Hammett Allman Brothers Band “One Way Out” jam from Metallica’s show in Atlanta below.

Metallica’s Atlanta performance, which featured support from both Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies, came as part of the group’s ongoing M72 World Tour. Since opening in April 2023 in Amsterdam, the M72 tour has seen Metallica play to more than three million fans. The lengthy campaign will continue this weekend with a no-repeat weekend run at Tampa, FL’s Raymond James Stadium on Friday, June 6th and Sunday, June 8th, and continue to major stadiums around the U.S. and Europe through next year.
