During their show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, Saturday night, Metallica paid tribute to hometown heroes Van Halen with a brief cover of the band's "Runnin' with the Devil."
The band has quite a bit of fun with the cover, with Hetfield attempting to replicate David Lee Roth's famous screams and Kirk Hammett beaming from ear to ear the whole way.
"That's all I can sing," Hetfield jokes after the brief cover comes to a conclusion. You can check out a pro-shot clip and a full, fan-filmed clip of the performance below.
