Metallica drops its cover of A-Ha's hit song "Take On Me." The group's beautiful rendition is something that fans did not realize they needed until they heard it.
The band surprised their fans with the cover of "Take On Me" during its show in Norway. However, not all of the members of Metallica were game to sing the song. Drummer Lars Ulrich and frontman James Hatfield left the stage before the performance.
Bassist Robert Trujillo and guitarist Kirk Hammett were the only two musicians that gave "Take On Me" their own spin.
"Try and guess what this is and if you know it, sing it. Remember, this is fun - it's a party," said Trujillo to the crowd.

Lars Ulrich Talks About Metallica's Tours
The band is currently on the final leg of its tour, which will wrap up on May 11. Last year, Ulrich talked about his band's live performances and said that he appreciates the tours now more than ever.
"Rock and roll almost become like a hobby or an escape. So when we go off and do tours like we're doing, where we're playing to 50 or 60,000 people in stadiums every night across America, it's kind of a mind f*** that we can still do it and people still show up," said Ulrich.
