METALLICA won “Best Metal Performance” award at the 2024 Grammy Awards on Sunday (February 4th 2024) for their song “72 Seasons,” the title track to their 2023 album. The trophy was handed out during the streaming “Premiere Ceremony,” with bassist Robert Trujillo accepting on the band’s behalf.

As for the absence of the rest of band mates Trujillo stated: “I just want to say that Lars, James, and Kirk could not be here because they’re with their families, and families are everything to all of us,” began Trujillo during his acceptance speech. “I live in Southern California, so it’s a little easier.”

He added, “We want to thank Greg Fidelman, our incredible producer, and our recording team. This is like family. When you’re making an album like this, you’re jamming, you’re collaborating. …. Keep those instruments in your hands. Let’s keep the youth making music, and keep the dream alive.”
