Metallica thread

[Izzy]

Does anyone know why Metallica has such a hard on for europe? They have been there every year for the last 3 years.


 

We often pay a good 20-40% more than the American retail price - Metallica at Wembley cost the equivalent of $100 each

Europe,Asia etc are the only places u can get away with playing without a new hit or new album.

I'm a bin concerned about ticket prices when Metallica do finally come back. In 2004 tickets for the non Big Day Out shows were $130 so I'm thinking around $150 by the time they get here.

Fuck if they came to the Qwest Center in Omaha, NE, and if i went i WOULD ONLY want to hear all of there old hits from the Black album on down.

According to NME.com, METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich has announced that the group's follow-up to 2003's "St Anger" will be released this September. The band has been recording the as-yet-untitled record in Los Angeles with producer Rick Rubin. Speaking to IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson on the March 7 edition of Bruce's weekly BBC 6 Music radio show, Ulrich said: "We're just finishing up a record, we've got six weeks left and it should be out in September, that's the idea right now."

....And Justice for all, at the moment, is my all time favorite Metallica album

Axl would beg to differ. In fact, so would a lot of big bands - The Stones, Van Halen...nostalgia sells out arenas in the US. Metallica go to Europe for the festivals as already mentioned, means they don't have to deal with the organization themselves.

[D]

U can run a tour or so, but u aren't gonna run a bunch of huge successful tours. Successful being the key word



Motley Crue for instance did awesome in arenas, but if they don't release a new album, Im not sure they would sell out every place again.

U can play smaller arenas but u aren't gonna sell out stadiums and huge shows in the US without some new music consistently.

[*Timothy*]

Some band can't tour with out an album. IE you Linkin parks , Godsmack,ect.


Then their are band like Metallica, The greatful Dead , Kiss, GN"R who can.

Former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has released the following "open letter" to Metallica:

"Dear Metallica,

"Hey, it's Dave! Remember me? Yeah, I'm the guy that's been listening to your band faithfully since 1983. I bought your first album 'Kill 'Em All' from a mailorder catalogue called Under The Rainbow, I think. Actually I can't remember. It was 1983 for Christsakes! But that album changed my life and I've been listening to your albums ever since (even 'St Anger'!).

 
"I can't wait to hear the new shit, and no matter what you guys do I'll always be first one at the shop waiting to hear it. I'm sure you'll come out and blow everybody's fuckin' minds, because you're fuckin' Metallica!

"Good luck. And don't release it until it's kick-ass.

"Yours, Dave Grohl.

"P.S. Are you finished recording the drums yet?"

[Dead N' Bloated]

Thats pretty random. lol. Why would Grohl do that?
