METALLICA – szókincs, videók, hallás utáni szövegértéses feladat

Idén szeptemberben jött ki a Metallica cím nélküli, 1991-ben megjelent lemezének jubileumi kiadása és a The Metallica Blacklist című feldolgozáslemez 53 dallal, amin világhírű előadók dolgozták fel az album dalait, az egész bevételét pedig jótékonysági célra ajánlották fel.

Emiatt készített Howard Stern interjúkat a csapattal, ahol szóba került a lemezen lévő Nothing Else Matters című dal is, amit Miley Cyrus énekel és Sir Elton John pedig zongorán közreműködik. A két interjút láthatjátok és meghallgathatjátok a dalt is. Készítettünk nektek feladatot is a videókhoz.

A videó megnézése után döntsétek el, hogy a következő állítások igazak (T), hamisak (F), vagy nem volt róluk szó (NM) a videóban.
