As they’ve been doing throughout Metallica’s “M72 World Tour,” bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett performed a local-inspired “doodle” at the band’s show in Landover, Maryland on Wednesday night (May 28th). With the show taking place in the greater Washington, D.C. area, the pair paid tribute to the legendary Fugazi.
Trujillo and Hammett’s Fugazi tribute consisted of them performing the intro to the classic “Waiting Room,” with Trujillo playing the iconic bass riff that made Consequence‘s list of the 50 Greatest Basslines of All Time.
Heavy Consequence also heard from a reliable source that Fugazi singer-guitarist and all-around hardcore legend Ian MacKaye was in the “Snakepit” section of the audience, with a smile on his face.

The “doodle” portion of the show also saw Trujillo and Hammett play the Metallica rarity “Just a Bullet Away” from the 2011 Beyond Magnetic EP.
With the concert being a stand-alone show, and not one of the “No Repeat Weekend” gigs, the rest of the 16-song setlist was a career-spanning collection of classics. Among the tunes were three songs from “The Black Album,” which was just certified 20-times platinum, and three cuts from Master of Puppets, which just attained eight-times platinum status.
Metallica’s current North American leg continues through a two-night stand in Denver on June 27th and 29th. Pick up tickets the remaining shows at this location, and see Trujillo and Hammett perform “Waiting Room” and “Just a Bullet Away” below.
