Carpool Karaoke Season 1 Episode 3 Billy Eichner & Metallica

In season 1 episode 3 of Carpool Karaoke, comedian Billy Eichner joins the legendary heavy metal band, Metallica, for a ride around Los Angeles. The episode starts off with Billy running late to meet the band and in typical New Yorker fashion, he's not afraid to swear and scream his way through the traffic. As soon as he's picked up, he immediately starts fanboying over the band members, James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo, peppering them with questions and divulging his own love for Metallica's music.

Midway through the car ride, James takes the wheel and they start singing along to some of Metallica's biggest hits, including "Enter Sandman" and "Master of Puppets". Billy, who doesn't quite have the range of the band members, does his best to keep up with the lyrics, jokingly exclaiming that he sounds like a "dying hyena" compared to their iconic vocals.

As they continue driving around, Billy asks the band about some of their more unusual experiences on tour, including playing in front of thousands of prisoners at San Quentin State Prison. Their conversation then shifts to Metallica's recent documentary film, "Some Kind of Monster," and the band reflects on the challenges they faced during the making of the album "St. Anger."

Throughout the episode, the chemistry between Billy and the band is evident, with Billy's irreverent humor perfectly punctuating the band's anecdotes and performances. As their carpool ride comes to an end, the group pulls up at a Guitar Center, where they proceed to perform an impromptu concert, much to the surprise of fans and shoppers alike.

Overall, Carpool Karaoke season 1 episode 3 with Billy Eichner and Metallica is a must-watch for fans of the band and anyone interested in seeing a side of Metallica that's as unexpected as it is entertaining.
