    I hate their current touring format. Its 15 years since I saw Metallica. From 1999 to 2010 they played Ireland including Northern Ireland 8 times which is impressive. Only played once since then in 2019.

    lol, you mean the touring schedule of arena/stadium level veteran rock/metal acts?  Most of them don't tour like they're 20 anymore :(

    For us, it's the stadiums.   I'd go if they played an Arena, not so excited to go stadium shows.  Given they easily sell out stadium shows, not sure if they'll ever play arenas around here again.

    There are just too many tours right now to put yourself through a stadium show. Leaving this one reminded me why I haven't done it in ages.

    Try living down under where pretty much every gig from a big artist is at a stadium to justify the huge costs of touring here.

    I only saw justice tour and remember loving it. The girls I went with were all about the cult. They were cool too. Ahh to be young at a metal show again. Time sure flies when I'm having fun.

    Caught them last night in Minneapolis. Still trying to figure out if the last time I saw them was 2003 or 2013. I do know it was my fifth time seeing them. Have to check the ticket stub box. Anyways…

    They can still play the hell out of a song. Getting Harvester of Sorrow and Orion was worth it alone. 

    As for stadium shows, they suck. Too big, no connection between the band/fans, and you basically are just watching a screen. Told my buddy I almost would have preferred purchasing a stream of the show and watching it at home.
