The Wedding Band (Metallica's Kirk Hammett & Robert Trujillo) — Earache My Eye, live in SF

Performing as The Wedding Band, Metallica’s Kirk Hammett (guitar) and Robert Trujillo (bass)--as well as Ugly Kid Joe’s Whitfield Crane (vocals), Queens of the Stone Age’s Jon Theodore (drums), Death Angel’s Mark Osegueda (vocals), and Bad Wolves' Doc Coyle (guitar)--play a cover of the Cheech And Chong song "Earache My Eye" live in concert before a sold-out crowd at The Fillmore in San Francisco, California on December 17, 2021.

Earache My Eye appeared as part of a comedy skit on Cheech & Chong's Wedding Album (1974). It was later released as a single and was a surprise hit, reaching the Top 10. The song sparked a backlash among teachers and parents, who claimed it was a bad influence on teens, and demanded that it be pulled from the air. Earache My Eye has been covered by several artists, including Soundgarden, Korn, Rollins Band, and Widespread Panic.

This show at The Fillmore as the Wedding Band was part of Metallica’s “San Francisco Takeover” this past weekend celebrating the band’s 40th anniversary. The all-star cover band played several 70's and 80's rock and funk songs, only wrapping up the show after 3am. The supergroup was formed in 2019 as a Metallica side project; they got their name from the fact that their first gig was a friend's wedding in Hawaii.

Earache My Eye lyrics:

My momma talkin' to me, try to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve

My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sisters clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose

My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearing high heel-sneakers and actin' like a queen (Hahaha)

The world's comin' to an end—I don't even care
As long as can I have a Limo and my orange hair

And it don't bother me if people think I'm funny
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I make a lots of money
Money, money, money, money
Money, money, ahhhhh! Hahaha hahaha hahaha

I'm so bloody rich, hahaha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers, hahaha
I only know three chords, hahaha
Watch me burn, hahaha
You fools, hahaha

Written by Richard "Cheech" Marin / Tommy Chong / Gaye Delorme
