Story behind James's new guitar.

This is great, James is awesome, super interesting and creative guy. Anyone see that great interview he did with Joe Rogan? Worth a watch. Very into sustaining his family organically, hunts himself, tries to grow his own food, and makes honey and keeps bees. Really into building cars and bikes and does a bit of art. The "garage guitar" is class.

The Geneva gig finally rolled around and it was really enjoyable. Thought there were a couple of off moments (songs have possibly gotten too quick for them in parts), but solid throughout and very entertaining. Good setlist of old and new; digging the new album.

Finally got around to watching Some Kind of Monster when I got back. Interesting to see the process during St Anger - was hoping the retrospective would talk more about their feelings towards that contentious album and the reaction to it though.

Following facebook post. Metallica will be back to Europe for stadium shows. Do you think there is a chance they will play in Ireland???

WOW! As another amazing run of European shows comes to an end, we are a little speechless (when does that happen?) and stunned by the overwhelming response and outpouring of love you have all shown us! After 39 shows in 29 cities in front of 650,000 of you crazy die-hard ‘Tallica fans, we'll be packing up our gear and heading home for the summer.

Along the way, you helped us break attendance records across the continent 29 times, sometimes breaking the record from show number one in a venue just two days later with the second show! It is staggering to us that all of this is still happening after 37 years as a band, and we could not be more honored.

Lucky for us, we’ll be back!! Look for info here in September about our return in May of 2019 for a run of stadiums through August. And already we cannot wait! Until then, THANK YOU!!

Somehow I imagine stadium officials in Ireland being d**kheads on letting a heavy metal band play on their precious grounds. But I'd like to see it happen.

Could end up them playing two shows back to back in the 3 Arena maybe since it's not that big of a venue. They played there when it was the point in the 90's a couple of times, but they've attracted a lot of fans since then, so it could end up being two shows which would be class.

Indoor here would be unreal...defo not gonna happen.

Gonna be an outdoor field if they come for sure the stadiums here are brutal for gigs.

Last 2 Slanes were May, Castle owner was only saying recently has an act for next year one that has never played there before.

We don't have a full scale arena that has the stage in the middle of the floor like where Metallica have been playing the last while. We need something like the Odyssey in Belfast, I seen Metallica there in 2010, and it's a great venue, we have nothing like that down our way. The 3 Arena is nice and all but it's very compact isn't it? can fit a lot in it, but if Metallica were to play there, they couldn't do the middle of the floor thing, I think their whole stage is like custom made and everything, they do put a lot of effort and money into the look of their concerts. And indoor Irish arenas can't facilitate it. Unless they were allowed play in a stadium, which I can't see happening.

Stadiums are sacrosanct in this country and only particular acts can play in them....f**king Garth Brooks and Ed Sheeran and the like!

I hear Coldplay are rumoured for Slane next year. A bit lame for Slane.

Saw them in London last year defo woulda fit,they wanted the numbers; only doing the biggest cities biggest venues in the UK wasn't coincidence. Muse fitted their monstrosity of a yolk in the 3.

Was more referring to AC/DC they played Aviva 3 years ago terrible as a music venue

Coldplay can get in the bin.

Degag · 12-05-2018 01:19AM

Could easily see Metallica do the Aviva but with a very strong support. Big 4 would be ideal but with Slayer gone....

scudzilla · 12-05-2018 06:27AM

It's all crap about stadiums being sacrosant here, and that a metal act wouldn't be allowed to play is rubbish. If MCD booked it and paid for it then there would be no issue at all.
I'm a huge Metallica fan but there is no way i can see them playing a stadium here, the bands management would put them out to promotors, MCD would have a look and realise that it's a HUGE risk to put them on in Landsdowne when last Marley show was such a poor seller.

While I agree for the most part, that last Marley show was a time when they had played in 09, 06, 03 and I think 05 was in there too. Market saturation, so with a long break now hopefully numbers will increase again

Yeah exactly it's not like they are putting on Oathbreaker or Emperor in the stadium it's one of the most mainstream bands of any genre. Who the feck hasn't heard of Metallica?

Almost correct no 05

RDS shows were
03 w/Darkness,Linkin Park
04 w/Slipknot,Lostprophets
06 (Download Ireland)w/A7X,Alice in Chains,Stone Sour

Stadium in Cork be a good option I wonder?

jack presley · 12-05-2018 11:23AM

Marley was 2008

Jayesdiem · 12-05-2018 11:54AM

I’m sure they did 05 with Iron Maiden in RDS?

I'd be all up for Cork, could just sit out the back and hear it despite being 15km away

Maiden played there in 05 alright with Marilyn Manson and Turbonegro.

I don't think a heavy metal band has ever been prevented playing a stadium here before so there's no reason to think it would happen now. Money trumps most things so getting a payday would take precedence over any ill informed notion that having a rock band play your venue is a bad idea. Remember Black Sabbath and Motorhead played Dalymount Park in the '80s when Ireland was a million miles from what it is today.

Unfortunately with the prices Metallica will be charging promotors there is no way in hell i can see MCD taking the risk

PTH2009 · 12-05-2018 07:55PM

Big if but I can see them play A field like Marley Park, Punchestown or Phoenix Park if they do decide to come here. RDS be a good shout but isn't been redeveloped next summer ???. Aviva, Croke Park and PUC in Cork too big Unless they have an unreal support bill but from the support were getting for the Stones next week promoters here like to go cheap

If they skip Ireland again for this run than I think we may never see them here again !!

jack presley · 12-05-2018 09:34PM

They wouldn't fill Landsdowne or Croker but of the other outdoor venues around Dublin used these days, Marlay Park, Malahide Castle, Kilmainham Hospital would all be suitable venues I'd say.

Any idea what is the capacity in Kilmainham Hospital?

That could be suitable venue in my opinion.

No chance, they've already said it's going to be a stadium run, thats 40k +, it's Landsdowne or nothing.

They've already said they're only doing 50 shows max per year and in 2wk bursts, why would they come and play an 11k capacity venue here when they could play a 50k stadium in central europe.

In my opinion it would be too, as Scud has said though Metallica's management = 11k that all? well that's unsuitable, ya let's do Stade de France!

jack presley · 13-05-2018 08:48AM

Stadium run just means outdoors in my opinion. I’m sure in Europe they’ll be playing festivals in fields and all sorts of places.

Oh yeah, then there's that problem. Wait and see though, I'm sure they'll find somewhere suitable (Malahide maybe)
