Metallica have been celebrating 72 Seasons release week by taking over late night. The band appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC each night this week. The residency wrapped up last night, Thursday, April 13, and saw the band performing the 72 Seasons track, "If Darkness Had A Son". Watch it here.

On Wednesday's episode on April 12, the four piece were tasked with the challenge of learning to erm, master puppets, to eventually put on a puppet show for children. For the task, Metallica set off to the Bob Baker Marionette Theater in Los Angeles and discovered how to use marionettes, with each band member receiving their own to play with.

Their puppet show saw the band explore the history of Metallica, with drummer Lars Ulrich puppeteering a cactus, frontman James Hetfield wielding a cat, guitarist Kirk Hammett playing a donkey and bassist Robert Trujillo with an 'invisible' man.

At the end of the performance, the band destroy the set and make their puppets mosh. Watch it here.

"Metallica has had a huge surge of popularity among young people after their song Master Of Puppets was on Stranger Things," announce the Jimmy Kimmel producers. "So we thought it would be fun to take the band to the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, which is a popular children's puppet spot, to give the guys a chance to master some puppets."

In other news, Metallica have premiered the new music video for "Sleepwalk My Life Away", lifted from 72 Seasons. The Tim Saccenti-directed clip was filmed in Los Angeles, CA, on February 11, 2023. Check it out here.
