Metallica worth seeing live?

I passed on them at Bonnaroo in order to save energy for My Morning Jacket's late set. I have great seats to see them, but could also sell the tickets. I'm a casual fan and feel like I need to see them, but don't know if I want to that much. Anyone seen 'em this tour? What do you think?

    Go see them live. I'm not a huge Metallica fan but they do put on a good show. I was like you and didn't know whether is was worth seeing but I really enjoyed it and I'm going to see them again later this month.

    Just saw them Monday night here in Salt Lake. One word AWESOME! You can tell they're trying to make amends with fans by playing a longer set and giving stuff away. Definitily go!

    I've seen them twice and they definitely didn't disappoint.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    hows the new stuff live?
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    I just saw them on Monday night, it was my second time. I'm not nearly as big a Metallica fan as a lot of people, but I'm always impressed by their shows, they tear it up live.

    The new stuff sounds good live, but I just don't prefer it in general, and they did play a good choice of their old songs, (Creeping Death, Disposable Heroes, Seek and Destroy...)

    Go see it, it'll be worth it.

    if you like any band, then it's worth checking them out live.
    I've seen Metallica 10 times already, between 86 and 96, and have tix for Birmingham and London next March :)
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    my buddy and i left their set early at Bonnaroo to get a good spot for MMJ.

    what i saw was enough. after the first 5 songs we were bored.


    Esther's here and she's sick?

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    Wouldn't quite go that far for me.....BUT, I have seen them and definately enjoyed one hell of a show. It's impossible to not have fun at a Metallica concert unless you've got a major stick up your ***.

    Go, by your 2nd beer in the middle of the first set you'll be having major fun.

    I saw them from a distance at Bonnaroo and they were incredible...then I raced back to my tent, grabbed some "stuff" and saw MMJ with a buddy in the pouring rain. Great fucking night. Now if I could only get my hands on one of those MMJ Bonnaroo Burwell prints that I passed on.

    I wish I had friends that liked Metallica or I'd go see them in a heartbeat. I bought DM on vinyl, a shirt, and look forward to downloading the tracks off xbox live

    That was actually my first time seeing them and it was fuckin' great. I tried to catch MMJ afterwards, but got there late, couldn't see and then it started raining. I went back to the camp about an hour and a half into their set.
    But, yes, Metallica kicked ass....although I had hoped they would debut a new song

    They are one of the best live bands of all time.

    For me they are neck and neck with PJ as far as putting on killer live shows. Metallica just adds a whole shit load of eye candy and set stuff too.

    Even when they put out shit albums they put on great live shows. They know what to play and more importantly what not to play.

    Saw em at Ozz Fest this year (front row) and they were awsome. I'm going again tonight and I can't wait!
  • AnonAnon Posts: 11,175
    They were fantastic as late as 2000. The Metallica show I saw that year is probably one of my top 5 or 10 concert experiences all time. The energy was unbelievable.

    But I've seen them twice with Rob Trujillo and they definitely seem to have lost a few MPH off of their heater. Could be age, could've been the St. Anger material, the change in bass players, the stuff they were going thru as a band at the time...

    All that said, if you haven't seen them, it's probably worth it. I will probably go if they hit Atlanta on the Death Magnetic tour.

    Great fucking live band, seen them numerous times and don't really care for the albums though this new one is great. Looking forward to hearing the new songs live.
