Metallica Rocks Minnesota Twice, Then Leaves a Parting Gift

They must feel really bad about that Napster thing...

After blasting through two completely different sets on two non-consecutive nights in Minneapolis, thrash metal legends Metallica still felt like their work wasn't quite done. So they left a big check for a cause they hold dear.

Metallica Gifts $40,000 To Help End Homelessness in Minnesota

Before packing up and leaving for the next stop of their M72 World Tour (August 23rd in Edmonton, Canada), the band donated $40,000 to People Serving People, which is Minnesota's largest organization providing services for those experiencing homelessness.

The donation was made on behalf of the band's All Within My Hands foundation, whose mission is to "assist and enrich the lives of members of the communities who have supported the band for years, as well as encourage participation from fans and friends. All funds raised will be donated to a cross-section of national and local charities... every penny from your donations will go directly to our charity partners."
