    These guys are the best I've came across as a tribute band and tbh for a moment I thought that was Hetfield up there with them:D

    Ed Sheeran has been announced for a gig in Pairc Ui Chaoimh in May next year.

    If I were a betting man I would put a few quid on that being the venue for Metallica in 2018.

    Didn't they say there'd be no further dates added to the European leg of the tour?

    You are probably right. But with the scale of the current tour and the fact that they've sold out stadiums across Europe a year in advance I can't see them coming to Ireland for anything less than stadium-capacity gig.

    The Aviva and Croke Park are bigger than PuC and by all accounts the Three /02 Point Arena or whatever it's called these days is too small. Thomond Park might be an option too.

    Thomond is 25,600 for concerts so might be possible but getting there is awkward unless driving.Cork and Dublin/Belfast crowds would have to change at Limerick junction if going by train.venues south of the country are really only suitable for bigger artists that can draw a crowd in the immediate area.

    Yeah, no chance we'll get anywhere on this leg at least

    Reckon they'll be back in Europe next summer for their bi-annual headlining slot at Donington, IF we get a date, it'll be around then

    They're getting better at spit out the bone, it the latest tuning room video Rob says at the start "We won't be playing that until September" and there was the end of what sounded like spit.


    My Money is on 2nd September Copenhagen Denmark.

    Am heading to Birmingham show and was thinking of heading to Manchester show too but I see tickets are all sold out. I wonder should I book a flight and hope I pick some up on the day? Any other sources for tickets?

    I see Arcade Fire are doing an 'In The Round' show in the 3arena next April

    Id say it would cost Metallica too much $$$$ too play the 3arena as they would have too modify it a bit. The band surly love Ireland going by the amount of times they played here in the past and the face Lars was here last month. Im seeing them in Glasgow anyway :p:p:D:D. 2009 Dublin and 2010 Belfast was the last time they were here

    Seatwave €160 for a ticket in Birmingham.

    I don't get the obsession with Metallica's stage set up if they were to play here.

    Is it not more the case that they are touring with a stage that won't fit in any of our venues, so they physically can't fit. And in fairness to them, I don't think they'd be arsed bringing a second stage just for Ireland. Being an island there's enough of an extra cost with playing here as it as, as they'd have to ship everything in for only the one show. At least in the UK they can use road to transport the rigs between a few spots and get more bang for their buck.

    They could just setup the new outdoor stage in Marley park.

    James gave his 2 cents on the Jenner sisters and their t-shirt line.
    I guess what they were thinking is, We can do whatever we want, To me it's disrespectful. We've spent 36 years working, doing our best, to keep a really close connection with people and make every note count, And someone just throws something up over something that we feel – not that it's sacred or anything – but show some respect.

    That's a story you've been sold and you seem to have bought it. As I said previously no point playing Dublin sadly as it keeps the Iron hot for the inevitable show in a field.

    There's no reason why they can't setup the current outdoor stage in Marley park, it's the same size as the one in 2009, it's just got an M and and A hanging out the sides.

    They released these t-shirts which basically had themselves (the Jenner's) superimposed over images of iconic rock and rap stars. Biggie's family were giving out about it and the line got pulled. I think they might have had Metallica as one of the artists.

    It's a shame really as I'd much rather see them indoors, rather than outdoors which will inevitably attract the typical event junkie with no clue about the bands actually on stage.
