    It won't be! Metallica will kick arse live like they always do.

    I doubt it but it would be nice if we got a new song for this. No Leaf Clover is an excellent song.

    I quite like the S&M album although I find the orchestra worked better with the newer songs than it did with stuff off Puppets etc.

    I'm wondering if it's just another live performance of S&M, or if it's a new set list. Either way, I can't wait!

    Oddly, it's going to be in the round. That's going to be awkward for the orchestra and the positioning of the band amongst them.

    As long as I get floor, or low tiered seating, I'll be happy enough.

    The blurb on the email I just got mentioned celebrating the 20th anniversary of S&M and some new orchestrations of songs that have been released since the original S&M which sounds like anything off St.Anger, Death Magnetic and Hardwired.

    Invisible kid with an orchestra anyone?!!

    The S&M² concert will feature the first live performances of these arrangements in 20 years, plus the first ever Metallica/San Francisco Symphony renditions of songs written and released since the original S&M, with new orchestral charts by Bruce Coughlin.

    I was too excited to read properly. I want an orchestral Suicide And Redemption!

    As it's a basketball arena and they're in the round, there's probably a good chance that the orchestra will take up the rest of the floor. Just a guess though

    The seating chart suggests there's ground floor seating. Guess we'll find out tomorrow

    I'll be pretty chuffed if they were to include something off of Kill 'Em All, and include Fade to Black.

    S&M has grown on me over the years.

    It would be a bit of a waste of the one off concert if they had too much from the original setlist, I'd love to see as much new mixes as possible

    Yeah, Michael Kamen. He did the orchestra arrangements on NEM too. Which leads me to saying to check out the ‘elevator’ version of NEM if you haven’t already as it’s superb.

    I'd say it would be more like what they did with the Helping Hands concert - limited release on Vinyl.

    Most - if not all - Metallica concerts these days can be purchased on CD from Metallica.com and their LiveMetallica site. The limited edition vinyl releases of some gigs (Webster Hall, House of Vans, AWMH benefit, etc. ) probably make them more profit though!

    Ah that makes sense alright, for some reason I thought that was vinyl only.

    Trying to get tickets for S&M2 is impossible. I had a legacy member code, and I couldn't get the ****ing website to work. Properly ****ing pissed off about it.

    I tried with a Fifth Member code when those codes went live at 10am PST, took a minute or so to get in but once I was in and actually tried to buy a ticket it said none were available and I tried all the types. Whatever they allocated for the various presales must have flown out the door.

    I'll have another go when they go on standard release.
