Metallica\u2018s recent trip down under saw the thrash metal juggernauts give a nod to some local talent. During their November 01st Australian tour opener at the Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, the band\u2019s guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist\/vocalist Robert Trujillo took part in their customary off the cuff \u2018doodle\u2019.<\/p>\n
That medley of covers found them delivering rough renditions of Budgie\u2018s \u201cCrash Course In Brain Surgery\u201d and \u201cZebra\u201d by Aussie roots rockers The John Butler Trio. Now Butler himself has responded in kind. Taking to his Instagram, Butler recently served up the below rendition of Metallica\u2018s 1991 9x platinum megahit, \u201cEnter Sandman\u201c, serving up his version via a Chaturangui, an Indian slide guitar. He said alongside that:<\/p>\n
