What was Metallica’s Antarctica show like? Well this little video gives you a little preview. Shows you what the performance was like when you’re listening with or without headphones. Without headphones all you hear is just Lars drums and the fans cheering but with headphones on… you hear the whole band with the fans in the background. Pretty damn cool.

Love Metallica or hate ’em, you can’t deny this is unique and something different. Metallica did make history so congrats to them.

Could that area where they played at become a music venue for bands/artists? I wouldn’t be surprised. After the success of this show, I’m sure other bands and artists will want to follow so expect more to perform there.

Not too long ago, Metallica announced a surprising concert in Antarctica which would be held today on Dec. 8th. They just played their concert there. They played inside a dome out on the helipad of Carlini Station. The band played with headphones on and they couldn’t play with amplifiers. Why? It’s because of Antarctica, I would assume. I would think it would be hard to play loud music at an area like that because of the sound. Maybe another reason for no amplifiers is because of the nature part of Antartica… they don’t wanna distract the nature part of it like the animals and stuff there. They used solar power for electricity.

The band played a short set for a small amount of fans. They did a 10 song setlist of their greatest hits. Look like they did just their classic hits.

See, here for the photo gallery and setlist.

The band will probably release this show on DVD/BluRay ’cause I’ve seen guys with cameras in the photos. Looking forward to seeing how this show is going to sound.

This sounds like a cool show and I would have loved to been there to see it. As you can see, the Dome they’re playing in is covered with something to help keep out the wind and cold some.

btw, I don’t wanna see any smartass Kate Upton comments as they will get deleted anyway but these Metallica photos is pretty much proof that she couldn’t have stood half naked in Antarctica like this. If you look at the people inside the Dome… not a lot of people are wearing coats. People who are outside of the Dome are all bundled up so it must be pretty warm and cozy in that Dome. So yeah, I still stand by it that the Kate Upton photoshoot was fake.
