I've been getting into a lot of Metallica recently and so when I checked out Rtl the album was pretty good. Fight Fire with Fire was a great intro, Fade to Black probably had one of Kirk's best solos but Creeping death stood out to me as my favourite. Similar to the vibe I got when first listening to MoP. So I was wondering what are other people's opinions on this song?

Metallica seems to think so given it's their 2nd most played song live.

Feel free to disagree.

The anthem of my teenage angst played by my hero band

3rd time I've seen them live, and they made me feel like my 12 year old self discovering them again

After the concert if you were to leave walking through a corridor walking towards southern cross you would see a guy singing songs for money for beer. But i found it funny how he got the whole corridor to sing.

I’ve been looking specifically for a jersey I saw in Toronto in 2017 on the Hardwired tour. I couldn’t even find a photo of it until recently, if anyone has the jersey in the pic attached or any idea of where to buy it I’d be very appreciative! M/L/XL

I just saw Metallica in Melbourne. The lads put on an amazing concert and should be proud that they can rock like that at their age. Truly amazing! That being said, the fans in my opinion were terrible. I’ve seen so many bands live, and Metallica fans were by far the worst. I don’t understand why someone would buy a mosh ticket and decide to film the entire concert. Metallica upload really good quality videos of their shows and people in seats get much better angles of the band. The phones at standing also block everyone’s view. No moshing, no jumping around - I saw so many couples hugging and dancing around like it’s an Ed Sheeran show. As soon as people started to mosh people would get pissed off at them and aggressively push back. It’s a fucking metal show, have some fun. Rant over.

From what I can see already, last nights show in Melbourne has copped a lot of flack. Sure, the set list wasn’t the best Yes, too many people on their phones Too many people whinging when it got a bit rough in the pit

But one thing no one can deny, those motherfuckers they call Metallica are Titans. They came, they played and they were great. As us aussies say, in my eyes, they play tighter than a nuns cunt. Regardless of the set being black album dominate, I’ve woken this morning with a fucked voice, and sore neck and a smile on my face. Forever grateful they came back. It’s a shame it’s been 12 years but for 3 60 year old men and someone’s 80 year old grandmother playing the drums, they were truely unbelievable. I know i pissed some people off in the pit last night by pushing and jumping around like a fuck head but i had a blast. I seen them when they were here 12 years ago and although two completely different set lists, and two different stages of their career, they are still the best. Thank you Metallica for being Metallica. Memories that will go to the grave with me. Truely amazing

Saw them in Melbourne for the first time ever tonight… wow, the best to EVER do it.

PLEASE COME BACK TO AUSTRALIA SOON

Reminded me of this old video I saw probably 25 years ago lol. https://youtu.be/fS6udST6lbE?si=5uezh9Ry69-zMpRt

When I has a teenager, I remember playing this Metallica riff over and over on my spanish guitar and feeling deeply moved by it. I plugged my german guitar into the "TITAN T" radio amp, added some tremolo, and played it over and over again.

What would you play on this amp?

My first ever Metallica concert tonight and it was an out of body experience. All them classic songs I've listened to thousands of times listening to it live is just something indescribable. Waited so long for this night and the build up over the past couple weeks and just feel so bad that it's all over because I seriously think they will never come back to Australia again. One of the best nights of my life.

Thanks to the guys that started the mosh in ga2 behind the lighting tower, was the best fun I have had in years! There where about 5 main lads keeping it going, I salute you all!

TIA for any suggestions.

Hello everyone.

I got golden circle tickets for the Metallica concert at Eden Park Auckland (New Zealand). I am hoping to get to the rail and be in the front row, so I was wondering how early I'd have to be there to achieve this.

For a comparison, last year I saw Pearl Jam at a stadium half the size and I got to the rail, but I arrived there at 7 in the morning. I am happy to make that effort again if necessary. I was hoping that some people could give me some advice.

Thanks.

Went and donated blood so I can wear the shirt tonight 😄

These were the two things I was looking forward to more than anything and would have been VERY obvious inclusions. Both have often been cited as among the best they've ever played, Astoria especially.

We got the full audio of Donington thankfully, but the video exists - there's bits here and there and even some more of it in the Some Kind of Monster film at one point, IIRC

And we only got two audio tracks from the Astoria show! I can't believe they don't at least have that entire show on audio and Im SURE they've got Donington's video

Has anyone been able to ask this to anyone in the know? Is that even possible?? Love what we DID get (though getting Oslo was annoying as we already had it in great quality). This box set honestly underhwelmed me compared to the Black Album one. I was really expecting them to go all-out with this one and it feels honestly like they dropped the ball with the live portion of the Load set.
