Metallica’s Kirk Hammett (guitar) and Robert Trujillo (bass)--as well as Ugly Kid Joe’s Whitfield Crane (vocals), Queens of the Stone Age’s Jon Theodore (drums), Death Angel’s Mark Osegueda (vocals), and Bad Wolves' Doc Coyle (guitar)--perform as The Wedding Band and play a cover of the Black Sabbath song "Heaven And Hell" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on December 17, 2021. Heaven And Hell appeared as the title track of Black Sabbath's ninth studio album in 1980. Rob Trujillo has his own Black Sabbath connection; he played bass in Ozzy Osbourne's band for several years starting in the late 1990s. Osbourne was the original lead singer of Black Sabbath.
This show at The Fillmore as the Wedding Band was part of Metallica’s “San Francisco Takeover” in December celebrating the band’s 40th anniversary. The all-star cover band played several 70's and 80's rock and funk songs, only wrapping up the show after 3am. The supergroup was formed in 2019 as a Metallica side project; they got their name from the fact that their first gig was a friend's wedding in Hawaii. Their next scheduled live show is on May 27, 2022 at Blue Note Napa / Jam Cellars Ballroom (Margrit Mondavi Theatre) in Napa, California as part of BottleRock After Dark.

Heaven And Hell lyrics:
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So, it's on and on and on
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So, it's on and on and on
Oh, it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
Heaven and Hell, I can tell
Fool, fool
Well, if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer
But nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on
[Guitar Solo]
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no
Fool, fool
You've got to bleed for the dancer
Fool, fool
Look for the answer
Fool, fool, fool
Written by Tony Iommi / Ronnie James Dio / Terence "Geezer" Butler / Bill Ward

The Wedding Band official bio:
The Wedding Band is not just your ordinary cover band. Perhaps they are - but the band members are FAR from typical and all recognizable names.
TWB has been bringing an impressive and unexpected musical lineage to every performance since their original formation on the island of Oahu by Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo, with their first gig actually taking place at a Waimea Falls wedding. With this dynamic duo at the helm, this sonic ship carries a rotating crew of eclectic musicians, including early recruits Whitfield Crane and Jon Theodore, as well as Doc Coyle, Mark Osegueda, and others.
A band that will bring you a slew of hard rockin’ funkified jams and classic covers that could shift between AC/DC and Curtis Mayfield or Black Sabbath and Kool & the Gang with a selection of die- hard punk classics weaving in and out. Rest assured that no matter where the needle drops, the Wedding Band will get you moving, grooving, and rocking. While every show comes with mystery guests and sonic surprises, one thing that stays true is that The Wedding Band delivers an evening you won’t soon forget!
