From Metallica.com
In the whacky world of rock'n'roll, sometimes stuff happens which looks even weirder than it really is! And with context being vital in these situations, we just wanted to address something which happened on the tour the other night regarding a large beachball, a band member's foot and a little girl. Some of you will have seen on youtube (or read in some reports) that Kirk knocked a small child offstage by kicking a beachball at her. That little lady is the daughter of the stage manager and dressing coordinator, who are fortunate to travel as a family on this tour. She was thoroughly enjoying watching the beachballs drop from the rafters, Kirk was thoroughly enjoying kicking the beachballs off the stage and back into the crowd as has been done every night on the tour, and neither of them saw the other. The poor wee one happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. She wasn't hurt. She didn't go "flying several feet into the audience." And Kirk and she remain good buddies. It's very cool that everyone showed concern and support though, so we just wanted to say "it's all good" and thanks for asking.

It was Seatlle, June 23rd 2000

Enter Sandman
For Whom the Bell Tolls
Sad But True
Fuel
I Disappear
King Nothing
Nothing Else Matters
One

From his last gig (bar VH1 Awards) in 2000
Jason was one of my fav members of Metallica, he wore his heart on his sleeve and lived for music, he was always the one to actually spend time chatting to the fans, and in the early days of the Meet & Greet's when only 2 members came out you could be guaranteed Jason was one of them.
Also loved hearing him sing songs like Seek & Destroy.
No offence to Rob, who is an awesome player, but i'd have loved to have seen Jason come through the St Anger shiit and have been given a lot more writing responsiblity.
I think James knows now that he treated Jason pretty unfair
Would drag me balls over a mile of broken glass to see a full gig with Jason again0 -

To remind those of us who don't understand why Jason was that popular, here's a little video...this is from 1994/6, and Jason has shown up in Manila to take time out of a busy touring schedule and jam with some local artists for the sake of music in a ****ty dive of a club. The rest of Metallica are probably off at Madonna's house or something.....and Jason's wearing a Meshuggah T Shirt

I think there's 2 factors in this. The first is the fact that back then Het was on the gargle all the time and the drink probably spoke for him. That and his 'stage persona',stalking the stage with Explorer nearly at his knees.
Also,now they all have their kids at a lot of shows. I don't think it was a deliberate decision to cut down on the swearing but probably a subconcious decision.
Or i'm just reading way too much into how Metallica operate!:pac:
i THINK the reason why he opened that set with 'Fcuk yeah Motherfcuker Motherfcuker' was that they had been told not to swear as the gig was being broadcast live on national Radio 1, all other bands had a 15min delay except the headliners, i'm 99% certain that was the reason.
My funniest ever Metallica moment was at the European MTV awards in Ally Pally, London back in '96.
I was watching on TV, as were millions of viewers across Europe and it was totally live. During rehearsals they had played King Nothing, the new single, but got totally pissed off with the MTV producers telling them to do this and do that.
Come show time, known only to the band and a few crew, they played Last Caress/So What live to an audience of Millions.
I've NEVER seen James pronounce the word fcuk in that song so clearly before or since!!

Nope,a short jam of the intro was the nearest they ever got. Like this:

Just something I found while on YouTube, kind of forgot that he had been drafted in following James accident. I believe he also replaced James in 1986 after a skateboarding accident...and played onstage with Cliff....but there is no footage of that, that I am aware of, in existence0 -

I think Marshall played on Cliff's last tour, in the UK at least. He was a Roadie for the band, but when he covered rhythm after James got burnt i think he was a guitarist with Armored Saint0 -

Just heard rumours from the MetClub and their insiders tonight that Metallica have already started planning their tour for next year in regards to their anniversary shows, Canada looks to be getting two shows, with one in Quebec at least. Other than that the information is sketchy at best.
More as it develops. Hopefully it turns out to be true!
Since the Black album was originally released in September, and Metallica's first gig was in April time I would look towards that kind of time frame to see concerts performed, maybe end of the Summer if we are very lucky. Tickets may go on sale, knowing promoters, around February or MarchMetallica are planning a tour in 2011 which their manager claims will rival Pink Floyd's 1980-1981 'The Wall' tour, it has been revealed.
Manager Peter Mensch revealed that the band are currently working on ideas for the tour, which will see then play in 10 cities worldwide. No dates have been announced yet.Although Mensch did offer fans a clue of what they might expect saying they should hunt down YouTube clips of opera singer Renée Fleming, who appeared on the soundtrack of The Lord Of The Rings singing in the made up language of Sindarin.
“Between you and me, some of it is recycling stuff that people did 25 years ago but no one's smart enough to know that we recycled it,” the manager said.
Also, a female tribute band to Metallica announced another UK tour in 2011
Formed in 2008 by Kaleen Reading and Gina Randazzo, the tribute band have been gathering up fans and even have Metallica themselves as friends on their myspace page. They also have Queen Diamond as friends, which is their other tribute band, to King Diamond. These girls love the metal, yes they do.
Reading and Randazzo got together after Reading decided she wanted to get some music in her life and posted an ad in a paper called ‘The Incinerator’, asking for a fellow metal-heavy chick rocker. With the later additions of Gigi Gleason, Allie Thrower and Teddi Tarnoff, they were good to go.
You can catch them on the following UK dates:
Tue 17th May 2011 - O2 Academy2 Sheffield, Sheffield (£8.00)
Thu 19th May 2011 - O2 ABC2 Glasgow, Glasgow (£8.00)
Sun 22nd May 2011 - O2 Academy3 Birmingham,, Birmingham (£8.00)
Wed 25th May 2011 - O2 Academy2 Bristol, Bristol (£8.00)
Thu 26th May 2011 - Old Fire Station, Bournemouth, Bournemouth (£8.00)
Fri 27th May 2011 - O2 Academy2 Islington, London (£8.00)
Sat 28th May 2011 - O2 Academy2 Oxford, Oxford (£8.00)0 -

What are all your Favourite/Worst Metallica shows you've been to and why??
My fav's are
1. 100 Club, Oxford Street, London, August '87
A warm up show for Donington, was so fcukin hot in there, found out about it the day before and went down on the hope of getting a ticket, queued outside from 6am, fcukin awesome. Was in the pit at front and at one point Scotty Ian (Anthrax) went flying over me head
Some video here, pretty poor quality but it ws fcukin nuts
2. G-Mex, Manchester on The Black Tour
They were just on fire, opened up with 'Of Wolf and Man' which was a rarity but fcukin amazing
3. Download, Second stage, 2003
Wasn't going to that years Download but found out 3 days before they'd be playing a surprise gig, Left home in Wales at 11am, got there at 1.30, straight to second stage, 2ft from front, was just awesome seeing them up close after all the problems and doubts that i'd ever see them live again.
Evanescene, who were playing on the main stage at the time must have played to around 10,000 as everybody else was tryin to cram into the tent
This is the only video of that gig, the opener Blackened
The worst
1. Dynamo Festival, Holland 1999
The whole weekend was awesome butthey just didn't do it for me, seemed like they were just going through the motions and were content with picking up the rumoured $250,000 they got for appearing.
2. Pukkelpop, Belgium 1997
Again, they just seemed to be going through the motions, seemed only about 20% of the crowd were arsed with them. Awesome festival again though0 -

Saw them in London in 2008 when they didn't play Sandman or NEM. It left them with space to add in some rarities like Jump In The Fire, Of Wolf And Man, Frantic and The Thing That Should Not Be which were all pretty awesome 0 -

That's great, I mean if you have seen the band more than twice, that is what you start hoping for. I have seen them five times (so far) and I've yet to be disappointed by their set and I've yet to see the same set twice. In fact, there are songs I've heard once (God That Failed in 2006, The Wait in 2009) that either have rarely, if ever, been played since and songs I can relate to that specific set
I've seen Machine Head 5 times and their set list has never been as vibrant for some reason - even though it's changed
But I'd love to see a small club show, with about 1,000 people, that would be the kind of gig that would be phenomenal - even more so than Metallica already are0 -

Is there a reason why you quoted a post from the beginning of this thread? Is it suddenly somehow of relevance over six months later?Lamb_of_God wrote: »Here ****in Here!!0 -
