It’s amazing how Metallica is doing this. If some Metallica shows in their tour cancel ’cause of this, I would understand.
If other famous bands had a missing fan at their concert, they would ignore it completely. Not with Metallica. They love their fans so much, and them helping out, really shows!

Now that the missing Metallica fan investigation has been turned into criminal, this should worry fans if the rest of the Metallica tour should continue or not.
The band might have to stop touring so they can investigate with the Charlottesville, Virginia police. They will probably get sent in for questioning.

I’m not blaming the band of a crime or anything ’cause I know they weren’t responsible for her dissapearance. They were too busy with the show while all that was happening.
If the rest of the tour cancels, that wouldn’t bother me…because a missing girl is more important than music. I have tickets for the Metallica show in Albany, N.Y. Nov. 12th. If the shows are still on, that’s cool. If not, I’m alright with that as well.
This story is pretty creepy. Definitely sounds like an abduction to me.
It was very good of the band to help out, very nice of them.
The band might have to cancel the tour since this case is heating up. Maybe not the whole tour, but maybe a few shows.

Metallica is asking the public’s help in search of a missing fan of the band. She was last seen at a Metallica concert in Charlottesville, Virginia.

That’s very good of these guys to do! Just shows that James, Lars, and the guys really do care and love their fans so much!
Kudos! I hope this girl is found too. Hope she’s safe.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is putting on a huge 25th Anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City for two nights on October 29th/30th.
Metallica has been booked to share the stage with U2, Eric Clapton and Aretha Franklin on Oct. 29th. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will hit the stage with Stevie Wonder, Simon and Garfunkel, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

Since Crosby, Stills and Nash has booked as “and friends”, they’re probably going to jam with other famous musicians, assuming Neil Young will be there to reunite with them. Crosby, Stills and Nash didn’t reunite with Neil Young at Glastonbury 2009, but maybe they will at this show.
Yep, you can betcha there probably will be a huge Michael Jackson tribute at the 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Hall of Fame show, because simply put, Michael Jackson was a Hall of Fame inductee back in 2001. Maybe Metallica will cover “Beat It” again like they did at that one Grammy awards show but they’ll play the whole song next time.
James Hetfield singing “Beat It”? It may sound silly, but I think he can nail it perfectly with no problem.
I’m sure all the Hall of Famers would gather around on stage together to jam on some kind of Michael Jackson song together, lets hope they don’t sing, “We are the World/Heal the World”. I think “Beat It” would be the best choice for the Hall of Famers to jam on tributing MJ, we’ll have to wait and see what happens.

Metallica announced the opening act for their North American tour from Sept. through Nov. in their fall tour. The opening act will be Lamb of God. Which means that Lamb of God will play the Times Union Center Dec. 12th with Metallica.
Metallica.com reports:
http://www.metallica.com/index.asp?item=602083
Fuck YEAH! Now this is going to be one killer show! I LOVE LAMB OF GOD! I have Lamb of God’s two albums, “Sacrement” and “Wrath”, the new one. Lamb of God is another band I’ve always wanted to see live, and now I’ll be able to! Great choice for an opening act, boys!

Dave Mustaine, the leading man of Megadeth, says his band is about to go on a tour that will end a long feud with another band for good. He refuses to say what band it is now but he plans to announce the news on Megadeth.com soon.
Blabbermouth reports:
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=117897
Many users in the Blabbermouth comments are guessing all kinds of bands like Slayer, Metal Church, Suicidal Tendecies, Down, etc.
I think it’s obvious it’s going to be Metallica. Metallica and Megadeth to do North American tour? Man, if Metallica and Megadeth shared the gig at the Times Union Center Nov. 12th, I would fucking shit myself, that would be fuckin’ amazing!
Is it possible that Metallica and Megadeth finally set their differences aside, and acting like brothers now? Only time will tell and we’ll find out soon.
Notice that Metallica has not yet announced an opener for their North America tour, could it actually be Megadeth? It’s possible. We’ll have to wait and find out.

I watched the entire “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” on TV last night and I was very surprised. The show was one of the best ” Rock Hall of Fame” shows in a very long time. The “Hall of Fame” has been crap the last couple of years, but this year was surprisingly good. I enjoyed all the inductees this year and the speeches and performances were great.
Wanda Jackson was incredible.
Eminem gave an amazing speech on Run-DMC, his speech about the legendary rap group was very heart warming.
The Jimmy Page speech was very brief and short, he didn’t talk long on stage at all, but Jeff Beck’s speech was good though. Jeff was honest that even he admits that he’s not big enough to be in the Hall of Fame, and admits that he doesn’t deserve to be inducted. Jeff Beck’s live performance was fucking amazing and mind blowing though.
Flea gave a hilarious and great speech about Metallica. Metallica’s acceptance speech was amazing too. Cliff Burton’s father was on stage and Cliff’s mother was out in the audience watching the band get inducted. You had to feel sorry for Cliff’s mother ’cause she was crying the whole time wishing her son was alive and on stage to experience the amazing moment. It was great to see Jason Newsted again. I loved seeing Jason and Rob jamming together. I was surprised they picked “Master of Puppets”, then of course they played, “Enter Sandman” after. Metallica an incredible performance at the Hall of Fame, now I really can’t wait to see them live in Albany in Nov.
Music fans out there really need to stop hating and bashing the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” so much. The reason the “Hall of Fame” is here in Cleveland is to honor these legendary musicians of the music they gave us here in the music industry. They deserve the celebration and the honor. If you disrespect legendary musicians and bands, then you have no idea what music is all about what so ever, and you have no right to be a music fan in the first place.
The Hall of Fame is a really special thing. If you hate the “Hall of Fame” so much, that’s just a clear sign that you wish you were a “Hall of Famer” musician and that you will never be there. Every musician that got inducted last night gave advice to other musicians that if you want to be a “Hall of Famer”, you have to believe in your music and stay focus on your dreams, ’cause yes, dreams coming true can be possible.
You have to love and care for your music no matter what happens to you in your life. Your family and friends may think you’re crazy, and delusional that you want to be famous for your music, but if you don’t listen to what anybody else thinks and do what makes you happy, you could be a famous musician down the road.
That’s how all these musicians and bands made the Hall of Fame. They believed in themselves and their music. They came a long road to get here. I loved last night’s “Hall of Fame” show, it was great all the way through.
A few videos from last night. The Metallica performances. Enjoy.

Just ordered my tickets to Metallica at the Times Union Center for their Nov. 12th show in Albany, so I’m definitely going. I actually found a friend to go with who is also a Metallica fan. Yep, as expected most of the tickets are gone already, the only seats I could find available was the first lower level.
Yep, it’s no surprise to me that this show could be a possible quick sell out as soon as it hit the 10:00 a.m. hour, and it’ll probably sell out in the next few minutes. Glad I got my tickets in time. Awesome. Getting psyched to see Metallica for the first time ever.
Songs I’m expecting the band to play at the Times Union gig…they’ll probably play several songs from their new album, “Death Magnetic” and of course, all their classics to help plug in their Guitar Hero game.
So I’m going to two concerts this year, Metallica at the Times Union and Phish at SPAC, getting psyched for both of them.
In other Metallica news, be sure to catch the band get inducted into the Hall of Fame tonight on Fuse TV. Those who don’t have FUSE TV channel on your cable box, you can watch the Hall of Fame on their website.
I’ll definitely be watching the Hall of Fame online tonight. I’m in a Metallica mood, so I’ll be playing their Guitar Hero game most of the afternoon probably.

Megadeth’s main man, Dave Mustaine, reveals the real reason why he turned down the Rock Hall of Fame invitation. While the major Megadeth tour is part of the reason why he turned it down, he drops the bombshell that the main reason why he declined ’cause he also wanted to be inducted since he used to be a member of Metallica. I think Dave is making a lot of sense. I agree with him.

I love Metallica and all but the dudes leaving Mustaine out of the induction is pretty lame. He never played on a Metallica record but Dave was one of the first guitarists of the band. That’s a good enough reason that Dave deserves to be inducted with the band too, but I guess that’s what happens when James and Lars’s egos gets in the way.

Well, former Metallica bassist, Jason Newsted is confirmed to play as a “Black Album” band with Metallica at the Hall of Fame this Saturday night. At first it was just going to be Jason Newsted, and Rob was just going to watch the band in the audience. Instead, both Jason and Rob will be jamming with Metallica. They are not saying if Jason and Rob will both play separately, playing different songs or if they will both jam on bass together…or it could be both. Sounds like the boys in Metallica is not giving away any surprises and secrets about their performance.

Aaawww man, Rob and Jason jamming together on stage would be fuckin’ awesome! I hope it happens!
At the end of Saturday’s Hall of Fame show, I’m sure there will be a huge super star jam like there is at every Hall of Fame show every year. The boys in Metallica jamming on stage with Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, and even Run DMC could rap along with them too? Remember, Run DMC covered Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” once. 🙂
