1. No they don't!

    I'm sure Paul McGuinness himself went to great lengths to physically remove all videocameras and photo cameras from the Leipzig show so there was no graphic evidence of it

    Dear Metallica Family, ・・・ It pains me to write this, but I have to let all of you know that I cannot make it to @SonicTempleFestival in Columbus and @LouderThanLifeFest in Louisville this year. As part of my continuing effort to get and stay healthy, I have critical recovery events on those weekends that cannot be moved. I apologize to all of our fans who have bought tickets for these festivals. We are working with the festival promoters to provide for refunds or exchanges. My intent with this statement is saying “I apologize” to each one of you. The reality is that I have not prioritized my health in the past year of touring and I now know that my mental health comes first.  That might sound like a no-brainer for most of you but I didn’t want to let the Metallica team/family down and, I alone, completely compromised myself. ・・・ Looking on the brighter side, my therapy is going well. It was absolutely necessary for me to look after my mental, physical, and spiritual health. ・・・ I want to stress that the band will play all other announced 2020 shows. ・・・ I am looking forward to getting back to playing and seeing all our great South American fans in April. And, of course, playing the Epicenter in Charlotte, Welcome to Rockville, in Daytona and Aftershock in Sacramento. We will still play two unique sets at each of these festivals. ・・・ Beyond 2020, I am optimistic about the blessings I have been given and what the future brings. I appreciate all the great prayers and support from everyone since I went into rehab last September. Like the moth into the flame, being human in this career has its huge challenges and can be difficult. Your understanding helps the healing. ・・・ - James

  4. An absolute legend. Get well soon James.
  5. Metallica are streaming Slane 19 on their YouTube channel. An optional donation to Covid19 causes is suggested. The product of the show seems to be state of the art.


  6. With today's release, the epic S&M continues
    Bloody me, this saves my life!! So effin great #loud #heavy #epic
  7. This is freaking legendary So much rain, so much epicness.

  8. Spot on! I’m sure you know anyway but the whole gig is on there channel. I can’t think how many times I’ve watched it!!
  9. I didn't know this concert until I found it yesterday. It's incredible. The few rainy concerts I've seen are always really special so I can understand how this one turned out so epic. But man, that's an awful lot of rain! The sad part of it is that it also affects the sound quality a bit, all of the instruments sound a bit muddier than they should. Otherwise, incredible recording
  10. For you Metallica fans, what would you say they're their most valuable songs for hardcore fans? I'm not asking about their WOWY, One, Pride and Vertigo... more like their Acrobat, Drowning Man, Gone and Heartland. Thanks
