For Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the San Jose Sharks managed to find a fairly famous duo to shred through "The Star-Spangled Banner" — we're talking, of course, about Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett.

The pair brought some amps onto the ice, where they offered up a chunky rendition of the famed national anthem. That said, without the skin-bashing of Lars Ulrich or the intense bass of Rob Trujillo, the performance sounded more like Ratatat than traditional Metallica.

Regardless, it's a pretty badass rendition of the song in its own right. You can watch half of Metallica power through the song below.
