Wish I was. Them and an hour of Ghost on the same night sounds like a good night out.

Saw them in ‘96(?) I think it was at the arena. Absolutely mint. Don’t think I’d fancy seeing them now though (and definitely not at the prices of the tickets.)

The Mactallica tribute band are pretty good for 10% of the price if they ever venture far enough south!

Look up their Seattle 89 gig on youtube. Awesome. My favourite band ever.
Saw em live in Helsinki olympic stadium. Lad next to me was slaughtered, shouted "Ozzy" through support bands (who weren't Ozzy) then fell asleep for Metallica.

kirk always seems ( to me ) to be playing a different song.
that covers e.p they done many years ago was fantastic,really stripped down and playing stuff they obviously loved.far better than the bloated band they are now...but i think they’d be f..king fantastic in a really tiny venue,as long as kirk had the same set list as the rest of the band like

I saw them on the Justice for All tour at the city hall years back - must have be 88/89. They were excellent but bloody loud
got the chance to work as a local roadie for them when they played whitley bay ice rink. always liked them but my abiding memory of that day was the polaroids of hundreds of women in various 'poses' sellotaped beneath the stage.

Would help if Lars could play the drums as well. Some funny videos online where he seems to be playing some sort of free jazz track. Dum fill dum dum fill fill roll dum dum fill etc.

Saw them last year in Glasgow. Not a big fan but went as the Mrs is. Have to say they were excellent and the set up (having the stage in the centre rather than at an end) was great, got right near the front. £96 a ticket but you could see what they spent the money on, great visuals.
This gold circle shit really annoys me. Should be just one price for standing and if you want to be at the front you'll get there. They all seem to be at it!

....and the Load, Reload and St. Anger albums.
Edit: oh christ, and that album Lulu that they did with Lou Reed. That was atrocious.

The utilisation of Napster was bad, Napster wasn’t bad. That was a moment in time for the music industry where they could’ve embraced technology but in their greed chose to close it down without discussion and paid for it for years. Could’ve been so different.
Downloaded the documentary is well worth a watch.

Going to see Slayer, lamb of god, anthrax and orbituary at the arena for a fraction of the price.

This.
I idolised Metallica back in the day (and can knock out a decent guitar cover of most of their tunes) but i also idolised Slayer. Slayer plus 3 decent bands = 40 quid, Metallica = 100 quid. Not sure how that works.
