Sweet Savage to support Metallica at Marlay Park

As Metallica diehards will be aware, Sweet Savage were a huge influence on the boys in their pre-Kill ‘Em All days, and earned a handy few quid in 1991 when James Hetfield & Co. covered their trademark tune, ‘Killing Time’.

They also launched the career of Vivian Campbell who, after a spell with Whitesnake, is currently a member of Def Leppard.

The remaining members will be plugging Eye Of The Storm – The Early Years, a double vinyl ‘Best Of’ which is limited to just 500 copies – 250 of them on patriotic green vinyl.

Metallica and Sweet Savage come to Marlay Park on August 20.
