The Wedding Band, Live Wire (AC/DC cover), live in San Francisco, December 17, 2021 (HD)

Metallica’s Kirk Hammett (guitar) and Robert Trujillo (bass)--as well as Ugly Kid Joe’s Whitfield Crane (vocals), Queens of the Stone Age’s Jon Theodore (drums), Death Angel’s Mark Osegueda (vocals), and Bad Wolves' Doc Coyle (guitar)--perform as The Wedding Band and play a cover of the AC/DC song "Live Wire" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on December 17, 2021. Live Wire originally appeared on AC/DC's second studio album, T.N.T. (1975).
This show at The Fillmore as the Wedding Band was part of Metallica’s “San Francisco Takeover” in December celebrating the band’s 40th anniversary. The all-star cover band played several 70's and 80's rock and funk songs, only wrapping up the show after 3am. The supergroup was formed in 2019 as a Metallica side project; they got their name from the fact that their first gig was a friend's wedding in Hawaii. Their next scheduled gig is on May 27, 2022 at Blue Note Napa / Jam Cellars Ballroom (Margrit Mondavi Theatre) in Napa, California as part of BottleRock After Dark.
===============
The Wedding Band official bio:
The Wedding Band is not just your ordinary cover band. Perhaps they are - but the band members are FAR from typical and all recognizable names.
TWB has been bringing an impressive and unexpected musical lineage to every performance since their original formation on the island of Oahu by Kirk Hammett and Rob Trujillo, with their first gig actually taking place at a Waimea Falls wedding. With this dynamic duo at the helm, this sonic ship carries a rotating crew of eclectic musicians, including early recruits Whitfield Crane and Jon Theodore, as well as Doc Coyle, Mark Osegueda, and others.
A band that will bring you a slew of hard rockin’ funkified jams and classic covers that could shift between AC/DC and Curtis Mayfield or Black Sabbath and Kool & the Gang with a selection of die- hard punk classics weaving in and out. Rest assured that no matter where the needle drops, the Wedding Band will get you moving, grooving, and rocking. While every show comes with mystery guests and sonic surprises, one thing that stays true is that The Wedding Band delivers an evening you won’t soon forget!

Live Wire lyrics:
Well, if you're looking for trouble
I'm the man to see
If you're looking for satisfaction
I'm satisfaction guaranteed
I'm as cool as a body on ice
Hotter than the rolling dice
Send you to heaven
Take you to hell
I ain't fooling, can't you tell?
[Chorus]
I'm a live wire
I'm a live wire
I'm a live wire
Going to set this town on fire
And if you need some lovin'
And if you need some man
You've got the phone and the number
And I got no future plans
Oh, come on honey, you've got nothing to lose
You got the thirst and I've got the booze
Give you an inch
Take you a mile
I want to make you fry
[Chorus]
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
Holy smoke and sweet desire
Like a hot rod, baby
Oh, stick this in your fuse box!
[Guitar Solo]
Ah, cooler than a body on ice
Hotter than the rolling dice
Wilder than a drunken fight
You're going to burn tonight
[Chorus]
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
And I'm gonna set this town on fire
Live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
Well, I'm your live wire (live wire)
I'm a live wire (live wire)
Look at me burn
Ow, let me
Meltin'
Short my circuit
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Written by Angus Young / Malcolm Young / Bon Scott

Great time,jamming Great tunes,Thanks for sharing

[@wbfojnewton1]

Still alive and Well ....I heard the intro from Johnny Winter's album....that was totally 👌

[@phihelix8777]

Right on. I bet it sounded kick when you were there. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@stevefisher2121]

I don't care what anyone says - old acdc is some of the best rock & roll ever made. This sounds so goooooooood!!!!!

[@genghiskhando5507]

Absolutely

[@gregmeir]

Acdc is awesome stuff they don't play on the radio 100 times a day stuff I like

[@neilberesford3757]

The bon Scott years 🤘

[@waynekerr8003]

I don't care what anyone says either but you are correct. Bon beats Brian, there I said it.

[@waynegraham7611]

No question, first 6 albums with bon are the best ever 👍

[@Danledz]

AC/DC are the unity of Rock. No matter how heavy a band plays, they all listen to and play AC/DC

[@Moonwalker1075]

Yeah everyone just loves the simplicity of them as it's so good.

[@jimmymac63]

How excited Kirk and Robert must have been playing with a real drummer who understands being in the pocket.....

[@stratboy518]

Even with all Kirk’s technical skills, at his core he’s just like us regular guys playing AC/DC covers 🤘

[@eldiablo3794]

That's why I personally have always related to Kurt as a guitarist because he plays metal but is rooted in blues and rock.. All his solos are based in the blues pentatonic scale. Nothing technical and crazy but still remains original. I personally love his style. Probably still plays in his bedroom everyday as he did as a teenager. Same shit I still do lol.

[@mariovalencia4738]

Yep! Try to “cover” ac/dc’s groove. Good luck

[@marialujangorini3469]

Las habilidades técnicas de 1 guitarrista no lo llevarán a nada...si no tienes sentimiento x mucha tecnica q tengas no sirve...pregúntale a malmsteen q obviamente tiene mucha mas técnica q hammet pero kirk hammet se cansó de llenar estadios, malmsteen solo teatros

[@MarkoMarkovina]

he has 0 technical skills tho... rhythm part was good from his side, solo sounds like ass... as usual

[@PW1316]

How can you “NOT,” have fun jamming some AC/DC!

[@mopetenstaub]

Kirk totally nails Angus' sound. It is so awesome to see him rocking that SG :)

[@TheFlexXMLG]

yeah, thats a sexy SG as well

[@Diesel0807]

Was just thinking how he definitely doesn't nail anything here... he sounds nothing like Angus

[@TonyCugs]

Kirk just gets better and better with age, like a fine wine! Kills!

[@mikecruz3902]

True. Like true fine wine

[@derekbells]

Just another video to show how special angus is, even legendary players have a hard time really nailing his solos. Greatest rock n roll guitarist who's ever lived

[@JaggedDagger]

This is amazing. I'm a huge Metallica and Ugly Kid Joe Fan. Whitfield's voice is just amazing

[@TavHooters]

He should fill in for ACDC for sure!!!

The singer here TOTALLY killing it......I'm 51 y/o and never heard anyone coming close to Bon...but this guy pulls it off....AND HOW !

[@NickGranville]

I don’t think I’ve seen Kirk that happy on a Metallica gig in years! Great to see him letting his hair down, so to speak

[@billnict1]

Kirk is feeling the Angus vibe!

[@hellboy8328]

Make you appreciate how good ac/dc with bon scott was their energy its was electric no one can take that away from them No 1 rock band in the world.

Wow! What a cover! Guitar tone spot on and Whitfield does a great Bon Scott tribute

[@jdelcolli]

Kirk is such a nice guy! Legend

[@hinjurock70]

[@scottdahlberg4890]

One of my favorite songs. Always gets my blood pumping, no matter how dead I am or tired, wore out. No will to live. I hear this and it is instant rejuvenation.

[@jimszikk775]

It's not hard to notice that Kirk is the star of the band.

[@bmark7951]

Of course him and rob are there in one of the biggest bands ever regardless if u like Metallica or not that’s a fact

[@mrnorbotron3308]

Whitfield Crane looks like Brain Johnson and sings like Bon Scott. Ultra!

[@mojodojo5533]

Quintessential AC/DC. Played at full throttle.

[@thecoderofyoutube]

Helps when you have Jon Theodore on drums. The guy is brilliant.

[@jaredcooper8158]

@LeBum Yeah the Tremulant Ep, Deloused, Frances, and Amputecture were the best of The Mars Volta. After Jon left, it wasn't quite the same for me. His drum tracks on those albums are among my favorite ever recorded.

[@courtneyboone9164]

Met him in NOLA after a show with the Queens

[@MSL1976]

Just wish Kirk would have worn the Angus outfit. He would have killed it in those shorts. 😂

[@ThenberSangma]

Tone/sounds from that SG is just fucking awesome❤

[@mikecruz3902]

This are good signs from the music scene. Well known bands collaborating and experimenting different kinds of music with each other. I'm happy with these.

Its all about "time" and Kirk nails it here!

[@cvblaylock]

Lol. Jon Theodore is in charge of time, Kirk is just following him. I bet he’s happy to be playing with one of the best drummers on the planet.

[@christianhoneyman6779]

Frikin Awsome. 😀😃😄😁

[@Panos835]

That's a nice cover - ACDC old stuff is purely GOLD!

[@danduffmcg]

Great seeing the amazing Jon Theodore killing the drums. Original drummer for Mars Volta, half of One Day As A Lion with Zack de la Rocha, and currently playing with Queens of the Stone Age. Look him up! Beast!

[@TisTheDamnStickSeason]

Met him (plus Michael Shuman and Dean Fertita) when Queens came to New Zealand in 2018.

[@hinjurock70]

Great drummer.

[@jonbohn3854]

dude hits so hard but has amazing technique. huge fan

[@sun6moon9]

One of the best drummers out there...what a waste to see him in this and Qotsa.

Best Mars Volta drummer

Kirk is a great guitar metal blues perfect work

[@americanagothic7851]

It’s cool to see Kirk rockin what I believe to be an SG Deluxe!

[@dirtydanthesecretsauceman8519]

Custom not deluxe.

[@Mysterywhiteboy78]

Lovely guitar and great tone....

[@victorherrero4790]

Trujillo with a pick!? Cool performance. Kirk is cool.

[@edwardmonsariste4050]

Yeah was looking at that also. I wondered to myself if he was comfortable do it with a pick or it was just too alien for him. Definitely a first for me seeing him plucking those downstrokes.

[@marcelboogaard3809]

I’ve seen Robert play with ST in the 80’s a few times and definitely seen him play certain songs with a pick unlike when he played with Infectious Groove.

[@levipike1565]

Look how happy Kirk is!

[@felipealonso8409]

Great to see Kirk so happy and enjoying this!

[@michaeldumas9203]

Kirk looks like he's having more fun with this than with Metallica!

[@hmpz36911]

He's playing like he cares too! So glad he's able to do things outside the band!

[@jartor666]

Totally agree

[@myheartisdarkness8539]

30 years playing the same songs

[@mikes177]

Because he gets to play with a good drummer for once
