    Lars did say a new album could be done if the lockdown continues. Would be great to see a few other songs done like this, put together and released for charity or something, this is really good

    Another garage style album of covers would be great too

    Going off the making of videos for Hardwired To Self Destruct. They could probably get the bare bones of an album done at home, and knock out a covers album as well.

    Took a few listens but that cover of Blackened has really grown on me.

    (Is it a cover if it's the same band "covering" their original?)

    A "re-imagining" I guess

    Same as. I really didn't like on first listen but couple of replays and I'm liking it.

    Anyone want to give a Top 25 songs list a crack for ****s and giggles? Or a top 10 or top 40... whatever. No real need to give reasons unless you want to.

    Not the easiest. I could quite easily sort them very differently on a different day depending on how i'm feeling!

    25. Damage Inc
    24. Spit out the Bone
    23. St Anger
    22. Moth into Flame
    21. Dyers Eve
    20. The Memory Remains
    19. For Whom the Bell Tolls
    18. Of Wolf and Man
    17. Disposable Heroes
    16. Blackened
    15. Nothing Else Matters
    14. The Frayed Ends of Sanity
    13. Sad but True
    12. ...And Justice for All
    11. Enter Sandman
    10. Battery
    9. Creeping Death
    8. The Thing that Should not Be
    7. The Unforgiven
    6. Ride the Lightning
    5. Fight Fire with Fire
    4. Fade to Black
    3. Wherever I May Roam
    2. Master of Puppets
    1. One

    .... And lets take it one step more. Create your perfect setlist. I've gone with the approach the my perfect setlist must be my top 18 songs (seeing as a Metallica concert is usually 18 songs long) God i'm bored!:o

    Blackened
    Disposable Heroes
    Of Wolf and Man
    ...And Justice for All
    The Unforgiven
    Ride the Lightning
    The Thing that Should not Be
    Wherever I May Roam
    Sad but True

    Battery
    Fade to Black
    The Frayed Ends of Sanity

    One
    Nothing Else Matters
    Master of Puppets

    Fight Fire with Fire
    Creeping Death
    Enter Sandman

    hard to believe Slane last year was the first Irish show in 9/10 years (Marley Park 2009 & Odyssey Arena Belfast 2010)

    For us southerners seems one reason we missed out was we dont have the indoor arena which suites Metallicas setup. Of course the Odyssey in Belfast hosted them in 2010 but they skipped it in 2017/2018 during the indoor leg of the worldwide tour

    We missed out on a few good tours
    2010/11- The Big 4 tour
    2012- Black Album Tour
    2014- By Request Tour
    possibly Metallica asking for too much with the promotors here not giving in

    The Big 4 in Dublin would of been epic :(:(

    I think it's pretty safe to say we will never see an indoor Metallica concert in this country again. Lets hope they only play outdoors from now on then.:D

    Aviva Stadium next summer would be nice even if it'd be unlikely with the Euros on.

    Just watched the Salt Lake City show from 97 they put up last night,brings back some great memories from their show here a few months before,setlist is almost identical too . That gig has a special place in my heart,they were on fire that night. That era tends to get rubbished cause of the Load album,haircuts and make up but they were a band firmly grasping the arena environment and firing on all cylinders.

    Load is a cracking album imo

    They could jam. That blues vibe on Load meant they played looser. Now everything is synched to overhead animation. The only "spontaneity" is some Hello Cleveland bull****. "No nay never no more...."

    I was at that Load gig in the Point. Brilliant gig, but I remember the pyro was way too f**king loud. My ears were screwed after it. Got one of Jason's pics too.

    Long shot, does anyone have a picture of the Metallica top rocker patch's from the 80's?
    Usually it was with puppets or ride. It was the logo in 3d affect.
    Tried ebay etc but seems impossible to find.
    It would go on the top of a denim cut above a back patch.

    What hit me watching that gig yesterday was Hetfield wearing the long sleeve ninja star t shirt that has 15 years on the back,dating from 96, they're 39 years now!! I feel ancient!

    Yeah 40 years next year, some achievement. Think they'll go 50 years at least but with an ever rescinding schedule. Likely to only ever be stadium gigs from now on i would say too.

    I kind of wish James etc would go and do his alt country album with Pepper Keenan or Jerry Cantrell. It could turn out to be a disaster, but I think there's another "genre" hiding inside James that might come out when he gets too old to rock out...

    Could happen. Probably go abroad on the next album tour to see them. But I'm slightly getting ahead of myself with next album tour talk.
