    They are heavy metal's version of U2. Some experiments work, some don't (can you say Pop?). I'd rather them take a different direction and fail than make the same album over and over again. A perfect example of that is The Rolling Stones. Or ACDC. Or Aerosmith. All good in their heyday, now just a mere parody of themselves.

    This post is full of delusions.

    St Anger awesome? Not by a long shot
    DM IS an attempt to go back to their roots, it just failed.
    They lost their roots. Check Load, ReLoad, and St. Anger
    St Anger has no relation to the music they made before. It's crappy numetal
    Heavy Metal U2?? Who the fuck needs that.
    The newest albums from the Stones and ACDC kick the crap outta St A and DM.

    Your comment about Aerosmith is the only conceivable thing.

    I'm not deluded. I have an opinion. St Anger is not by far nu metal. Nu metal is crap to me. St Anger to me was something that sounded like nothing before, by any band.

    U2 was an example of a band that has longevity in their respective genre, because they take risks, try new things, and to me that's respectable. They succeed. They fail. Whether you like their music is irrelevant to what my post states. I don't like half of what they put out.

    AC/DC has put out the same album 27 times. They are trash.

    Fantastic live band too. Got to see them 3 times.

    I've seen the 3 times too. In 98 or 99 with Jerry Cantrell & Days of the New. In 2000 with Korn, System of a Down, Powerman 5000 at the L.A. Coliseum. And in 2004 with Godsmack at the Forum. They rock!

    I saw that show as well w/ Jerry Cantrell and Days. In total 8 times live. First time was in '97 (free show in philly) then just about everytime they came to philly since then except the Garage Inc. tour they played at the Electric Factory and i couldn't get tix :x

    I hope they come back to L.A. Soon. They're still my favorite Metal band.

    Here are 2 of my ticket stubs. I couldn't find the one from the 2000 concert.

    Anyone attend the M72 stadium shows? I'm eager to get tickets for the new dates,  but not sure if it's better to wait and get seats or splurge for the pit or floor tickets now.  

    Did prices drop closer to show? Anyone get pit, and was it worth it?

    For Gillette prices did come down before the show. We sat two rows off the field. The views weren't as good as I'd hoped they'd be - you're still pretty far away even in the round and the towers create a lot of obstructions. My least favorite Metallica show out of the 6 I've seen but if you gotta see em it is what it is.

    We're thinking of going to Houston.  Was going there to visit a friend anyways, so timing it with the show seems to make good sense.

    Luckily I'm a legacy member.  Only because I used to sub to the Metclub for ticket access whenever they toured, and I guess I was a paying member when it went free.   Trying to decide between snake pit (Which is pretty expensive at 450USD), or maybe seats around the 50 yard line, and they look closest to the stage.

    If I can get field tickets to the Blacksburg show I'm going. I'm thinking the snake pit might be too crowded with not much room to move around. Don't really want seats either probably not be much of a view.

    To old for GA for Metallica. Just got a pair to Atlanta and it was the same price as our MSG tickets. Row 5 of the 200 level(around 20yrd line). Definitely a different fan base but nice to see the tiered pricing for a huge venue.

    at least it’s not ice kills nine and limp discobizkits. Those just don’t do anything for me. I’d rather have a decent opener than a place holder.
