Metallica Experts (re: Cunning Stunts)
After Enter Sandman, there is a huge disaster. Did that really happen, or was it staged? I'm surprised they kept playing, if it was real, because there was a dude that caught on fire! Any info (links?)

I'm pretty sure they talk about it a little bit in the bonus features.

Maybe the guy on fire running around the stage was James Hetfield.

The title of the set was lifted from a Cows album that came out a year or two before.

The real accident that burned Hetfield is documented on the "Year and a Half In the Life of Metallica" DVD. It happened around 92' or so when they were touring with GNR. The fans ended up rioting after that show because Axel Rose was too much of a bitch to go perform and calm the crowd down. If you don't have that DVD, get it. I have every Metallica DVD and it's the one I replay the most.

I remember going to this tour. My brother freaked out when it happened. I had read about the "stunt" on the internet previous to my going, so I got quite the laugh at my brother's expense. I can still remember him yelling "Oh my god!" a bunch of times.
