Cunning Stunts is a live album by heavy metal band Metallica. It was released in 1998 on DVD and VHS formats, and in Japan released on LaserDisc in 1999.
The DVD features concert footage, band interviews, a documentary, behind the scenes footage, and a photo gallery consisting of approximately 1,000 photos taken by Anton Corbijn, some of which were used in the album sleeves for Reload. Three of the performances feature multiple angles.
During the performance of the song "Enter Sandman", the entire stage is set to appear to collapse and explode, with pyrotechnics and a technician (referred to in the extras as the "Burning Dude") who runs across the stage while on fire, as another technician swings overhead.
This is also one of the few Metallica concerts that did not feature "The Ecstasy of Gold" as an intro.
The title is a spoonerism of the words stunning cunts. The band Caravan had already used this title for their 1975 album. The Cows used this title for their 1992 release.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
