If you are a music fan at all you have heard of and probably have a decent amount of respect for the heavy metal rock band Metallica. Little did you probably know, this amazing band is also a large advocator for cancer awareness and fundraising. It's not very often that you meet heavy metal guys like the band member of Metallica that have such a soft spot for kids struggling with cancer. But these guys not only have big sound but even bigger hearts.
The leader of this fundraiser is Metallica frontman James Hetfield. Also involved will be Sammy Hagar, and Alice In Chains guitarist Jerry Cantrell will all take part in the second annual Acoustic-4-A-Cure concert on Friday, May 15th at The Masonic in San Francisco. Also joining the show's killer lineup are Red Hot Chili Peppers (Holy S***, yes) and Chickenfoot drummer Chad Smith, Chickenfoot guitarist Joe Satriani, singer Linda Perry and so many amazing artists more.
Tickets will go on sale for this awesome event, this Friday (April 10th) at 10:00 a.m. You can find them on ticketmaster.com or on Metallica official website.
If you do decide to buy tickets to this killer heavy rock phenomena, all proceeds from the concert will be donated to fund children's brain tumor research at the Pediatric Cancer Program at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, one of the nation's leading children's medical facilities.
This amazing organization; Acoustic-4-A-Cure was created by Hagar and Hetfield, who are both Bay Area residents, who wanted to raise funds and awareness for the Pediatric Cancer Program at UCSF. They saw no better way to do so then by rocking out of course.
This is only the second concert but, last year's inaugural sold-out concert included Hetfield's acoustic rendition of the Beatles' "In My Life," Hetfield, Satriani and Billie Joe Armstrong doing a medley of Bob Seger's "Turn The Page" and Green Day's "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams," and an all-star closing jam of Bob Dylan's "Rainy Day Women" With all this to measure but to, This year's concert definitely has it's work cut out for it. But, I promise it will knock your socks off, I mean just look at that line up! so buy tickets now!!!
