Chanting of “Metallica” filled the air as the four-member American band enthralled the audience.The performance, which was to be the second for Metallica in India, turned out to be its maiden show following the cancellation of its concert in Gurgaon on Friday. But, the effect of the band’s performance in the city was so powerful that the Friday’s fiasco was left behind.There were no glitches in the band’s performance in Bangalore, as guitarist Kirk Hammett, drummer Lars Ulrich, lead vocalist Jamesh Hetfeild and bassist Robert Trujillo held the audience spellbound throughout.To keep the large gathering engaged, two bands - Inner Spectrum from the city and Guillotine from New Delhi - did a opening act and glued the drenched fans.
