METALLICA – TO LIVE IS TO DIE (Live Cover!)

LIVE PERFORMANCE of Metallica’s complete “To Live is to Die!” at the 2017 MWROC Music Festival. Performed by the members of The Mark Wood Experience and world’s best electric string orchestra, this performance faithfully covers – and enhances – this classic
heavy metal instrumental from “And Justice for All.” All electric violins, violas, and cellos are designed and hand-crafted by Wood Violins. Enjoy a rare performance of a song that Metallica has only performed live ONCE!
