Rodrigo y Gabriela’s Battery Playlist

Rodrigo y Gabriela’s Battery Playlist

“Our musical lives can be basically defined as BM and AM: Before Metallica and After Metallica,” Rodrigo Sanchez of virtuosic acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela tells Apple Music. “We grew up listening to and loving classic rock in Mexico City, but everything changed for us when we first heard Master of Puppets. That album was, and remains, a huge influence for us. It set us on our musical path.” The exclusive playlist they made for Apple Music highlights that album's “Battery”, as well as tracks from other beloved metal and classic rock icons, including AC/DC's 1981 cannon-blasting classic “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)”, which they have played over the PA system after their own shows since 2006. “It's a thank-you for coming to the show,” says Gabriela Quintero, “but also a celebration of the musicians who have gone before us.” Check out the playlist and add anything you like to your library.
