On a vibrant Friday night in Los Angeles, the highly anticipated fourth Helping Hands Concert and Auction by Metallica captivated audiences with stunning performances from iconic artists like Sammy Hagar, SistaStrings, and, of course, Metallica themselves. This remarkable event not only showcased musical talent but also served a greater purpose, as all proceeds from ticket sales and the auction benefitted Metallica’s own All Within My Hands Foundation, dedicated to supporting various charitable initiatives. The evening was expertly hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and featured celebrity guests including Slash and Tom Morello, enhancing the star-studded atmosphere.

During his electrifying set, Sammy Hagar was joined by his impressive band lineup, which included Michael Anthony, Joe Satriani, and Kenny Aronoff. Together, they delivered a thrilling mix of classics from Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and Montrose, along with some of Hagar’s beloved solo tracks, delighting fans with their musical prowess and energy.

Making a Difference: The Impact of the All Within My Hands Foundation

Established in 2017, the All Within My Hands Foundation has made a remarkable impact by raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to assist food banks, support disaster relief efforts, and fund scholarships for community college students. The foundation’s mission centers on empowering communities and fostering positive change, reflecting Metallica’s commitment to philanthropy.

James Hetfield, the band’s frontman, shared his heartfelt perspective on charity work earlier this year in an episode of The Metallica Report. He expressed, “As corny as that sounds, there’s not really a better feeling in this world than helping someone else and doing it without telling about it.” Hetfield emphasized the joy that comes from selflessly giving, contrasting it with the often prevalent mindset of taking and needing. His reflections highlight the transformative power of generosity, especially considering his band’s humble beginnings.
