METALLICA ripped into covers of "Hole in the Sky" and "Iron Man", with Hetfield reaching into his highest register to equal Ozzy Osbourne's signature singing style. (View video footage of METALLICA's performance at this location.) Hetfield and Ulrich, in a heartfelt induction, both said their band would not exist without the example of BLACK SABBATH.

"I'd never known it until I had to access all those emotions in front of that crowd, but it just goes to show how much SABBATH mean." Ozzy Osbourne, in a black velvet jacket and a diamond-encrusted crucifix, summed up METALLICA's tribute: "They did fucking better than great!"
