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.

Im fed up of seeing them in Marley Park and not be able too see the stage fully and thats why im heading too Glasgow in October. Sound will be top notch, guranteed view of the stage and i can make a holiday out of it. Dont get me wrong i would go and see them in a heartbeat if they do play Ireland (which they will in the next couple of years) but want too see them indoors.

They might do the Euro summer festival circuit in 2018 and we might get a outdoor show here but its doubtful. There in Europe September-Nov 2017 and then again Feb-Apr 2018 so you never knw they might do another American leg in summer 2018 ???

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.

Yeah they did have a Metallica one, the Kill 'Em All album cover, with one of them super-imposed over said album cover.

It was cheap and tacky, and them piggy backing off of someone else's work, and charging $125 per t-shirt. Self important vacuous twats.

You can be sued for $250000 if you call it a man.ðŸ˜

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.

But that rig is in the U.S, too costly to bring it here for the odd show

The rig in 2009 is the same deal, it's the 6.4 million gross figures that metallica work off now, that's a guaranteed 30k attendance.

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 have 2 decent seated tickets for the Manchester show that I may be getting rid of. I'm heading over to see them in Cologne in September and was hoping to bring herself to the Manchester gig, but our new arrival won't take a bottle so we may not be able to go (I'm going to Cologne with some mates so I don't think I'll be allowed another jaunt without herself ha ha).

I'll pm you when I know more, if you are interested.

Yeah that's pretty standard. They have all that "hang" or "8 count* so it can all be as tight as possible. They've been doing it forever afaik

Some of that is also for the lights/pyro guys so they all know exactly what's to happen. They're a well oiled machine at this stage.

I'd imagine well the pyro guys anyways at least, would need that kind of information on the set-list for when to cue the pyro in certain parts of songs. And probably also to make sure no-one suffers the fate James suffered in '92 in Canada..

Anyone listen to Lars' show on Apple Radio? I had a listen to one or two episodes (and discovered Warrior Soul as a result).

I haven't listened to this week's episode but Kirk is the guest and James and Rob are on in the coming weeks too.

Yep just look for the recent Toronto gig I think it was, the acoustic guitar wasn't tuned right, James kicked it off the stage. Don't mess up the set or else:pac:

Isn't there a clip of fade to black where James goes to play the "nó one but mé.." riff and and he's on his own.... The lights are on him.... And his tech forgets to press the heavy pedal

Here where can you listen to Lars' podcast? It's not showing up on podcast addict, is it an apple music only thing?

Yeah it's an Apple Music only thing. Under the radio section.

Just about everything gets uploaded somewhere by someone these days so I'd imagine it's out there somewhere if you're not a subscriber.

I've only listened to a few episodes and it's not bad. He's actually a decent enough host which surprised me. This week's episode with Kirk was quite enjoyable.

Cool I'll download it on Napster or something In seriousness was looking forward to the Kirk episode so I'll have to acquire it somewhere

Yikes! I wonder how often they fire their techs!

Bit of a shower thought but why the fuck didn't they put Hate Train on Death Magnetic. I absolutely love it!

One thing im a bit disappointed in for the upcoming Metallica European tour is the support act. The US leg got a bit of quality in Volbeat, Gorja and A7X and Europe is getting a Norwegian band which a weird name. The Kvelertak i heard is alright but would of much rathered Volbeat

True but happy to be seeing Metallica anyway

Hopefully I meet a few fans in the hotel but if I don't I'll enjoy my owe company and get very drunk lol. In Glasgow Airport there's a Wetherspoons and a carry out in Tesco

Mushy

America got stadiums, Europe is indoors. And on the continent, Volbeat are absolutely massive they'd sell a lot of the venues themselves.

The first Kvelertak is seriously good, their more recent stuff not so much. But I'd rather them than a commercial band aimed at teenagers, like A7X.
