Usually, whenever Metallica put out a new album and go on a big world tour, after that, they take a long break from music before another new album. Not this time. Lars Ulrich revealed that after they finish this tour, they will head back into the studio for new material this Spring. Possibly in March or April. This will be the band’s follow up album from “Death Magnetic”.
Good news. I’m glad Metallica is not making us wait for another new album after this tour! Hopefully they stick with the “Death Magnetic” speed metal stuff and not change their sound again like they do every album. They do a new style of music every album they do.
I know Metallica have a lot of haters, but I love them.
“The Big Four” have announced the huge news today, that Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax will play their first show in the United States. Their show will be taken place on Saturday April 23rd, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. If you live in California or near there and want to go, tickets go on sale Friday. Get ’em fast, ’cause this will indeed be a quick sell out. Tickets are $99.00 a pop, VIP are for $199.
Man, wish I could afford this. If I had all that money, I would certainly travel to see this show. I would love to see it. I’m sure they’ll be video taping this for a DVD too.
Now that the Metallica and Megadeth feud is finally over with, does that mean there is a possible collaboration in the works sometime in the future? I think it might be a possibility that members of Metallica and Megadeth could collaborate on a studio album together in a supergroup, but giving it a different band name. I can definitely see it happening. Maybe James, Kirk, and Lars can do a side project with Dave Mustaine, Chris Broderick and bassist Dave Ellefson with a new studio album with original songs. I can see this supergroup doing a tour together, playing a mix of Metallica and Megadeth hits along with their new originals.
Maybe Metallica and Megadeth will discuss a project together when both bands are done touring.Metallica and Megadeth looked great together on stage at Sonisphere, so I think a supergroup between them would work.
Hey, if it worked for supergroups like Chickenfoot and Them Crooked Vultures, why not Metallica/Megadeth form a supergroup for an album and tour? Again, it’ll probably happen but it definitely won’t happen right away.
You want proof that Dave Mustaine buried the hatchet with all of the bands he feuded with in the past? He feuded with all 3 bands at the Sonisphere Big 4 show: Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax.
It is so amazing to see Dave Mustaine jam with Metallica again after all these years. I mean look at Dave on stage. He looks so happy and thrilled!
Man oh man, that’s a badass picture isn’t it? Isn’t it hard to believe seeing Kerry King, Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield in the same picture? The three of those guys have been enemies for years. There’s your evidence that they officially buried the hatchet. I’m happy that Kerry, Dave, and James are all on the same page now!
I’m pretty sure the Big 4 shows will be getting a DVD release in the future.

A lot of people maybe having travelling difficulties over seas because of the European, Icelandic volcanoe eruption…but even the legendary Metallica is having difficulties. The volcanic ash cloud forces Metallica to travel to concerts by bus instead of by plane. Metallica haven’t travelled by bus on tour in such a long time. The last time they did that was way back in the Cliff Burton days, which the legendary bass player got killed in a bus wreck.
Kirk Hammett admits it feels weird and different, because the buses are so much better today then they were in the past. He also admits, travelling by bus is bringing back memories of Cliff Burton’s death. They go back to remembering that horrific bus crash that day.
Chile knows what Metallica is all about. How come US fans don’t treat Metallica this way anymore as we did back in the 80’s and early 90’s? When I saw Metallica at the Times Union Center back in Nov. in Albany, Metallica fans were singing along and banging their heads, but the US fans don’t go crazy as we did in the past. Fans overseas know how to really treat Metallica. I know their Metallica mosh pits are probably worse than the USA. GEEZ! No wonder Metallica loves touring overseas more than the US! Metallica still plays great shows and they still have it, but US fans needs to be more aggressive.
Metallica fans tried to riot their way into Club Hipico in Chile earlier this week ’cause they didn’t have a ticket. Police tried to fight them back by spraying them with water. I know Metallica had worse fan riots than this in the 80’s, but now that riots are starting to happen again at Metallica shows, this is what Metallica is all about.
The Harrington family might invite the boys in Metallica to attend her funeral but will they attend? I don’t know. They might. They are too busy touring in Brazil right now. The band is not going to be back in the states until later this year in the Summer. If they’re invited, who knows, Metallica might be committed in attending, take a few days off of touring overseas to fly back to Charlotesville to support the family. It be nice if the boys would come back to the states to support her family but the shows must go on. They’re a very busy band.
I am very sad for this news. The news broke today that Morgan Harrington, the young Virginia Tech Student who is a die hard Metallica fan was found dead on a farm. Police are pretty sure the skeletal remains are hers. This is sad, heartbreakin’. I hope her killers are found and put away for life.
I’m sure the boys in Metallica are pretty heartbroken and upset by this news as well.
Look like she got a ride with the wrong people after the Metallica concert. See, not everyone is going to be your friend in this world. To anyone that goes out alone like this, have to think it’s never safe to go anywhere anymore.
Metallica tried their best to help find her too. More importantly, I feel more sorry for her family.
