Me too. However I have different reasons for being annoyed with them.

This really annoys me, I've only seen Metallica indoors twice, and that was during the 2009 UK tour. It's becomming increasingly rarer to see Metallica inside and in any kind of enviornment resembling a normal gig and it's annoying as **** because I don't want to see them as an outdoor band as part of a 'mini festival' or festival day. I just want to see them do a few indoor gigs. A lot of people talk about seeing Metallica at The Point in 99 and for me, Sheffield was the closest I got to that experience, that's what I want.
Ironically the recent Fillmore shows were almost the nearest they came to decent indoor shows in terms of small scale club shows

True, and the whole 'Metallica Family' thing is a complete joke, I'm not interested in this whole commoradity bull****...I've paid my ticket price (way over the odds with a load of support acts I couldn't give a fcuk about seeing) and I just want THEM to sing the songs, I don't want James to skip over 65% of Master of Puppets because he'd rather the audience sing to him. Same for the end of Memory Remains....don't need to hear "na na na na na na...." go on and on and on
Reminds me of something Lee Mack said about Robbie Williams in jest
Just reading that they're covering When A Blind Man Cries for a Deep Purple tribute album.
Interesting track
I'd be interested to see Metallica's take on it. Start of it sounds vaguely like 'Who Wants to Live Forever' by Queen, interesting to see if the keyboard sound is kept.
Also read myself that there are more shift knobs up for grabs this Thursday

Once James quite drinking he started with all that how-does-it-feel-to-be-alive stuff.
Its a bit at odds with the whole Am I Evil, Chop your breakfast on a mirror, kill the first born pharaoh's son vibe.

AFAIK, James is a classically trained pianist....? Although it's not ground-breaking, his ivory-tinkling can be heard on the intro to "Unforgiven 3" on Death Magnetic. Maybe he'll do it?

He is not. He had piano lessons for a few years starting at the age of nine, and some of the pieces he learned were classical music. He quit playing piano at 11 or 12, and picked it up again a few decades later on a small scale.
James Hetfield

“Yeah. My mom had seen me over at a friend’s house just kind of start bashing on the piano, and she thought, oh, he’s gonna be a musician, OK, we’ll sign him up for piano. I did that for a couple of years and it was really a bit of a turn-off because it was learning classical pieces, stuff that I wasn’t listening to on the radio, you know?”
“I remember it was an older woman’s house and the cookies at the end was the big deal. But I am so glad it was somewhat forced upon me, because the act of left and right hand doing different things, and also singing at the same time, it gave me some inkling of what I do now. Singing and playing are somewhat easier than it probably could have been if I hadn’t have had piano.”

Thought he was......? He makes up for it in his guitar playing anyhoo.

If one wanted to be picky they could argue that he did learn some classical pieces in the couple of years he took lessons as a kid, but for me to be a classically trained pianist you need to be doing it for more than two or three years as a young kid.
He is a passable piano player nowadays but his style is not that of a classical leaning. But would agree that him quitting piano was a good thing as it led to guitar Hetfield.

I can't believe they finished the main set with NEM and ES and then played S&D as the last song. I didn't see that coming!
