Quote :: No stranger to shocking audiences, American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert stunned pretty much everyone in attendance on Sunday at a gig in Auckland, New Zealand, when he covered Metallica's “Enter Sandman” as a birthday surprise for his bass player Tommy Joe Ratliff.

Lambert’s band has more metal cred than you might suspect. His guitarist is Monte Pittman, who appears on five albums with Prong, including their thrash-tastic 2007 release Power of the Damager and the 2009 remix album Power of the Damn Mixxxer.

After the gig, Ratliff tweeted, “Just got THEE sickest early bday present ever! Got to play ‘Enter Sandman’ on stage with the baddest singer and band ever!!!! thank you guys!” while Pittman said, “We surprised Tommy by doing ‘Enter Sandman’-Metallica for his birthday! Happy Birthday Tommy! We only got to rehearse once.”

Quote :: At a recent New Zealand show in addition to playing his own songs controversial glam rocker Adam Lambert rocked out a little "Enter Sandman" by Metallica.

What's more, as you can see in the video above he gave his guitarist a big sloppy kiss in the middle of the song! That's not something you see Kirk and James doing on stage with Metallica!
