James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett and in the background the flag of Albania

 Metallica, one of the most famous bands in the world, has appeared with the flag of Albania. A video shared on social networks shows James Hetfield holding his guitar and drinking something, while Kirk Hammett is also present with his guitar. In the background, the flag of Albania is visible.

This is not the first time that Albanian symbols have gained international attention. Albanian patriotism propaganda has been spread worldwide, with famous global personalities performing the Albanian double-headed eagle symbol with their hands. These include boxer Mike Tyson and actor Sylvester Stallone.

Metallica has a strong connection with Albania, with some of their songs translated into Albanian and widely sung by Albanian fans. These include "Nothing Else Matters" (translated as "Asgjë Tjetër S'ka Rëndësi"), "One" (translated as "Një"), "The Unforgiven" (translated as "E Pafalshmja"), and "Until It Sleeps" (translated as "Derisa Të Flerë").

 

Furthermore, Metallica has performed their songs several times in various concerts worldwide, including in Albania. For example, "One" has been performed 1,534 times, "Fade to Black" 1,224 times, "Master of Puppets" 1,704 times, and "Enter Sandman" 1,401 times 8.

This display of the Albanian flag by Metallica is another example of the influence of Albanian culture on the global music scene. It shows how music can be a powerful means to share and spread culture and national identity worldwide.
