Metallica play a 'rehearsal show' for their upcoming tour at Baker Hamilton Square in San Francisco, Calif. called "Metallica ReLoad, Rehearse and Request." MTV broadcasts the show live featuring a set list made up of requests by MTV viewers and the crowd. Five of the songs the band plays acoustically.
        "People will always request the old stuff. In 10 years everyone, will request songs from Load."
        — Lars, San Jose Mercury News 3/23/98
        "After the broadcast ended, Metallica topped the evening off with a hilarious, fairly expletive-free version of "So What," with James Hetfield himself displaying responsible self-censorship in case the cameras were still rolling—using such onomatopoeia as 'beep' to mask any questionable words."
        — So What!
