Seemingly attempting to avoid further DMCA issues, the audio for the Metallica performance was dubbed just seconds after kick off. Muting certainly would have done the job, but where&#8217;s the fun in that? So, was it some appropriately heavy sounding music to stick with the vibe? Nah. Take a look at the video and hear for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Twitch Is Afraid Of Getting DMCA&#039;d On Their Platform -Cuts Off Metallica..\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gKhc21Y0Xdw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> What&#8217;s so glorious is that, in places, the &#8220;dorkiest, most&nbsp;<em>Zelda&nbsp;<\/em>forest-ass&nbsp;music&#8221; (as <a href=\"https:\/\/music.avclub.com\/twitch-censors-live-metallica-concert-with-dorkiest-mus-1846314134\">AV Lounge<\/a> describes it) syncs up with the performance quite beautifully.
