Metallica, Chris Rock Open Bonnaroo
Saturday, June 14, 2008
MANCHESTER, Tenn. (June 14) - Bonnaroo began in earnest Friday with the rarest of double bills: Chris Rock followed by Metallica.
Metallica's Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett introduced Rock, and the comedian in turn introduced who he called "the baddest ... band in the world." Both acts were unlikely fare for the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which began in 2002 as primarily a jam band event.
