I have seen them live 4 or 5 times now. Still one of the best live bands IMO.
I'm not digging their newest stuff as much as their work from 1983-2000 but yeah, great band!

I read this and got excited. Then after looking into it it's all live crap from 2014.
Damn. I was hoping for some previously unreleased 1983-1992 stuff. Or a CD version of the San Diego '92 gig from the "Live ****: Binge And Purge" collection.

I mean, you knew what the outcome was going to be. Might as well have gone to the concert. Just saying.

Saw them a couple weeks ago, right up at the gate. Much better than I remember from the Death Magnetic tour, for sure.
My 2 year old started singing Master of Puppets to me recently, making me like that song a lot again. We watch a SpongeBob video edited like they're playing MoP, and he loves it from that

Don't blame the goalie!
You will not be disappointed, I've been playing my guitar every night since the Miami show on the 8th LOL
I hope you get Creeping Death...but not Spit Out The Bone LOL If I didn't get it, I don't want anyone else to either!
I'm still due for a visit to the chiropractor.

Didn't seem too dead being the greatest band this planet will ever have seen when I saw em!
But I know what you're trying to say:
I've been obsessed with playing this version.

The show was awesome!!! Didn't get to see the opening acts cuz we were too busy drinking but Metallica sure can put on a spectacle. During Master Of Puppets they had some hands with strings going down as if they were connected to Lars while playing the drums. The whole experience was amazing. Well except for the $250 Uber ride home haha.

I've always liked Metallica, and I think the reason why was because I started listening to them when Garage Inc. came out. Heck, I thought they were a country band when I heard Turn the Page, which sounds more country than today's mainstream radio stuff. They probably did sell out, but I still like some of the stuff they put out and their last album was probably the best album they've done since the black album. Now that We're Dead is their best song since probably Unforgiven II. Speaking of Unforgiven, those three songs were some of Metallica's best work.

I just saw them live for the first time two weeks ago at an outdoor show in Montreal when I got a chance to review their show. You simply can't pass up a free ticket to see Metallica.
What really struck me was seeing just how many families were there. There so many fathers and mothers with their sons and daughters. Lots of folks have grown up alongside legendary band and now they're introducing the younger generation. It was really awesome to see.
Metallica just looked like they were having the time of their lives playing together. They were huge cheers during the Cliff Burton tribute as well.
At the end of the show, as people were walking away, James and Kirk simply thanked the crowd for all of their support. Kirk actually mentioned that they've been playing in Montreal for over 32 years. Once I got home, I looked it up, and it's true. They first played here in January, 1985.

While this is the Metallica I came into, I beg to differ
This whole concert...THIS^^^ is THE greatest ****ing band in the history of the ****ing goddamn world.
Between this and them on the Ozzy tour with Cliff...I'd go to either before any other ever.
Most of the time I;d come home, patch the tv into the stereo blast that **** and throw myself into furniture and walls LOL
Another fun activity after all went to sleep was putting on the bootleg of Cliff's last show and pressing the headphones to my ears so I could feel being there.

It's funny, I view Hardwired (the album) to be if someone was trying to cover And Justice For All. Like, it definitely sounds like Metallica, but it's not QUITE up to that level.
And then we get this. This nails it for sure

Seeing Metallica live a few years ago was amazing. It's great that they sell the audio of their shows too so you can re-live the experience constantly.

I got into late 80's Metallica first too. But a lot of people overrate the Seattle '89 show IMO. It's still great though. And yeah the bootleg of Cliff's last show should be heard by all Metallica fans or just metal fans in general.
