What happened to James Hetfield in Montreal 1992?
The band was informed of a pyro change: pyro would be ignited along the “wings” of the stage during “Fade To Black.” The pyro-tech however, failed to tell the band that new pyro would be going along with the old pyro. Assuming that the new pyro canceled out the previous pyro, James was standing exactly where the old pyro occurred when a 12-foot flame was ignited, severely burning the left side of his body.
