Metallica played as part of Salesforce's Dreamforce conference on September 26, where all proceeds were donated to the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospitals, in San Francisco and were so damn loud they actively pissed people off several miles away. The concert portion of the conference was held outside at the Civic Center Plaza.
Check out some of the tweets below courtesy of SF Gate, which for the most part are pretty funny. Some people got kind of pissed off about the whole thing, but it's not like they live in the middle of farmland and Metallica extremely strangely decided to host a concert down the street. It's a city where these things happen, especially when there's a major venue.
Anyway, Metallica is headed off to Europe soon to piss off people with loudness alongside Ghost.

Trying to sleep and can clearly hear Metallica playing "Nothing Else Matters" from Dreamforce's concert at the Civic Center in San Francisco.
We really don't have enough space to hold concerts for 170,000 people in this city.

This Metallica set is so loud I'm pretty sure it's going to topple the Millennium Tower and put like 17 more cracks in the Transbay Transit Center. https://t.co/rrDPsSGFXj

Marc Benioff’s Metallica birthday concert is shaking the walls of my apartment from three miles away. Can someone please explain to me what Salesforce even does again?
