The rock band stepped in to Green Day’s slot after Billie Joe Armstrong checked in rehab for substance abuse, forcing Green Day to cancel a series of appearances.

During Metallica’s two-hour set, James Hetfield told the crowd, “We’re Green Day, just a little taller.” According to Loudmouth.com, Hetfield later mentioned Green Day again, saying, “They’re getting it sorted out, hopefully they get it fixed because the world needs them.” After that, Metallica played a riff from Green Day’s “American Idiot.” Metallica also dedicated the Master of Puppets track, “Battery,” to Armstrong, telling the audience, “This one’s for Billie.”…Three Days Grace is offering a behind-the-scenes look on life on the road in a new video clip posted on its website.
