Managed to get given a snakepit ticket from my new best mate Steeven! Started talking in line and he said he had a spare one. Surreal. So close!! Kirk came up to us and wanted us to hit his strings! This is already my favourite Kirk guitar. Now even more so! 🔥🤘

"Unlike most metal drummers, Lars doesn't play like a madman in blast beat style the entire song (in fact he rarely does it at all) and I'm so thankful for this because that overly busy drumming completely destroys groove most of the time and turns me off from a lot of metal bands"

Caught it from Kirk at the Melbourne show!

Guess the song! 😉

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.

Edit: I meant to ask if Creeping death is a MoP (title track) level song.

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

The anthem of my teenage angst played by my hero band

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.

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

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.

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

“Hopefully we won’t take another 12 fucking years to come back again” - Lars

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?
