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.

    Amazing live show don't pass it up, they will send you home without a voice and hard of hearing though.

    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
