When did this Metallica family craic start

Degag

They don’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

Seeing the lack of bands who are capable of playing it there’s a distinct chance they could be back sometime in the future

Ah they're at it a good while now, probably mid 90s ? Once you go down that route you're fooked, remember Sepultribe and all that around Roots...I turned off then.

Lady Gaga's monsters, Slipknot's maggots ....puke

Slane was the highest grossing show on the last leg of the tour. Not quite sold out, 71,122 / 78,824 tickets sold.

Great numbers for a non main stream (read:sh1te) band. Fup the naysayers.

And there were definitely another few thousand comps so no wonder it looked so close to full

If their reported fee is 2m (and the other bands take half a mill maybe?) does that mean MCD and Lord Henry pocket the rest after expenses?

I've no idea but I'd say the expenses for this tour are massive. They've a huge crew and there are 3 versions of the stage on the go.

Yeah but if Metallica’s reported fee per show is 2m than all that expense is covered through that i’d guess.

I’m asking if the remaining money from the gross goes to Henry and MCD after the expense of holding the gig are taken into account (security, Gardai etc)

The two million is their alleged fee. It's all theirs. That's for them to play. That doesn't cover anything else.

Jesus there seemed alot more then 71000 at slane, I went through most of them at one stage to go to the jacks

I’m fairness it wasn’t a wild accusation, they had failed to sell out Marley park and the rds prior with arguably stronger supporting acts.

Not mainstream? Metallica? :pac:

SoundOfSilence

It actually confirms the draw that Slane as a venue still has.

Mate I hate to break it to you, but Metallica are as mainstream as it gets. They're one of the biggest live acts in the world, and for better or worse one of the go to bands for the girl in your life who doesn't listen to metal much but appropriates a 'rock out' image for those wild nights out by proxy of a twelve euro black miniskirt and leather choker from H&M.

I'm not dissing them, but this isn't counterculture, even if you were mad into them during some ~real music phase most people hopefully grow out of. Their albums sell millions and they do the same soccer stadiums Taylor Swift does.

Big Nasty

We might have different opinions of what mainstream is

To me mainstream is the sh1te you hear on FM104 / 98 / 2FM

Wouldn't hear too much Metallica on those stations

Thrashssacre

Metallica are certainly as mainstream as it gets. I always hate hearing this argument that Metallica are sticking it to anyone by being so popular there promoted by the same people who promote the likes of Taylor Swift just in a different way.

Degag

They are most definitely not mainstream in this country. As another poster said, they get next to no airplay on Irish radio and if they do it's one of two songs. They also get next to no media attention barring Slane, which they did, well because it was Slane.

Worldwide, perhaps.
