Nope it would still be the same.

Doubt that tbh, and your posts here suggest as much.

My gripe is that they (the tickets) are far too expensive for what they were i.e fairly crappy GA tickets given the venue and a lot of younger fans would have missed out.

Arena show I went 2 years prior (London) was more expensive and even at that Slane was far superior show when it was all said and done.

It takes casuals to sell more tickets, no trouble whatsoever for bigger fans to be close if they desired.

Slane is family friendly as long as you're over 5 you can attend with an adult. They literally played basically the biggest venue going if people missed out it was due to lack of trying.

I think you're reading into things too much.

Only reading what's posted.

In summary you didn't go to Slane and appear to whinge about it since.

You seem more upset about that fact than me.

Yeah I'm absolutely devastated to hear of your grievances.

I joined this thread a few months back, but it seems to be populated by bickering kids.

I have two questions, my first is who thinks 'Master ..' is possibly their best song, and my second is who can play it?

I'm a yes and yes by the way.

It's a toss us up between the two, but Master does it for me.

That said, Blackened is some tune, as is Harvester. Blackened is much harder to play than Harvester.

I pretty much enjoy everything the band has done (including St. Anger and even Lulu) But yeah those two records are the pinnacle for sure.

Not really gone on the second half of Hardwired save for Spit Out the Bone.

I think everything after Justice went down a different road, with the exception of Sad but True.

Again, this is from someone who also plays the riffs. If you pick up a guitar and try to play what they do, then it's pretty obvious, to me at least.

Have we any other dinasours like me who still play thrash on this thread?!

I'd rather jam along to stuff from the first four records tbh

That's hardly surprising, I felt our discussion was pretty baseless :pac:

I'd love to start a thrash metal covers band!

Big +1 one to that, in fact it motivates me to look up the tab to Toxic Waltz later on! :pac:

Man, that just brought the tune 'the years of decay' to mind, I think I had forgotten about it the best part of 30 years. What a tune.

Sorry, back on topic now!

Sad but True came on the radio the other evening and it got me thinking.... when the rare occasion occurs that Metallica are played on mainstream radio, it is invariably Enter Sandman or NEM. Barring SBT, the only other songs I can remember being played are Whiskey and (strangely?) Hero of the Day. Anyone heard any deeper cuts?

bring back the 2fm metal show!

skallywag · 25-10-2019 10:57am

'One' used to get played quite a bit in the late 80's, though I cannot recall now whether that was that on MTV or on the radio, most likely the former.

Thin Lizzy's Eric Bell has come out and branded Metallica “a pack of b******s” for not paying him for an appearance at their Dublin show, 20 years ago.

He told the Irish Sun that he joined METALLICA on their private plane as they made their way from the U.K. to Dublin. He expected to receive around 2000 euros (approximately $2,200) for his appearance — although he admitted that there was no agreement on the fee.

As much as I like Bell, to be quietly expecting money without anything written in stone and complaining about it twenty years after the fact is a bit daft really.

But there's a book to be promoted so...
