Video of Metallica and Lady Gaga’s Grammy performance of “Moth Into Flame” without any audio issues has emerged online. The clip is from the web feed of the broadcast apparently carried James Hetfield’s mic, although it still looks like he cannot hear himself through his own monitor.
The video clip was posted by Metallica fan site RoLoad’s Facebook page and seems to be legitimate. To make matters even more confusing, james Hetfield clearly cannot hear his own vocals in the performance and eventually ditches his mic to use Gaga’s. TMZ reported that a stagehand accidently unplugged the Metallica frontman’s mic. Will we ever know the truth to Gaga-gate?
