Giant's pitcher Barry Zito got to jam "Fade to Black" with Metallica. Zito can surprisingly hold his own on the ol' axe!
Go ahead and check out the video over on Loudwire. It's pretty cool, because it's all the moments leading up to, and including the jam. It goes through some Metallica history, but concentrates pretty heavily on Zito and his love of the band and their music. It's nice, if not at least a little heartwarming. Then- spoiler- they jam and Zito does a damn fine job of keeping up with the band. In the end, everyone was happy and the Giants probably lost because not every story has a happy ending. Seriously though, Zito said about his choice-
Zito chose ‘Fade to Black,’ which he had been practicing prior to his visit with the band. “That’d be fun to try that one just because it’s so nostalgic for me.”
