This summer, Metallica will be hitting the road on their WorldWired tour in North America. The band had released their most recent album, "Hardwired...To Self-Destruct" was released in 2016 and includes the hits "Moth Into Flame" and "Hardwired". Metallica has invited some other awesome bands to join them on tour including Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat and Gojira. However, there are five dates where only one of these bands will be joining them on stage. These dates / locations include:

May 19 – Foxborough, MA – Gillette Stadium (also with Volbeat)

June 4 – St. Louis, MO – Busch Stadium (also with Volbeat)

June 14 – San Antonio, TX – Alamodome (also with Avenged Sevenfold)

June 16 – Dallas, TX – AT&T Stadium (also with Avenged Sevenfold)

June 18 – Chicago, IL – Soldier Field (also with Avenged Sevenfold)

Metallica is allowing their fans to choose from a list of eight bands and vote for the one they would like to see take the stage on those five dates. Bands that have been selected include Immortal Guardian, Hallow Point, Shattered Sun and Mothership. One of the eight bands selected to potentially play on these five dates is the 90's alternative rock band, Local H.

I have been a fan of Local H since my middle school years. They're raw, loud, honest and really fun to listen to. If you're a fan of bands like Filter, Nirvana or Mudhoney, you should totally give them a listen! The band's most popular single, "Bound To The Floor" was featured in an episode of Daria and the 2006 film Big Nothing.

Their songs "Eddie Vedder" and "Fritz's Corner" additionally made Top 40 on the Alternative and Mainstream Rock Billboard Charts in the 1990's. The cover art for their 1996 album As Good As Dead was even featured in an episode of Friends!

Local H formed in 1987 and has released ten studio albums since 1995, two of them include cover albums. Any Misfits fans out there? Here's the band's amazing cover of the Misfit's classic song "Last Caress":

I've had the honor to meet the band's lead singer, Scott Lucas, twice. He's extremely talented, intelligent and knows how to put on a great show! I really believe they would be an amazing addition to the tour. You can make it happen! Head on over to Metallica's website and give the band a vote!
