sanity_lost Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 ? ? ? I could be wrong since I don't follow Metallica all that closely, but I am pretty sure they have an album to tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't need any inspiration for doing this Maybe GnR should get some inspiration for an album release 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Metallica just released a pretty kick ass album. They also didn't have any issues selling out Arenas even when they were spitting out shitty albums one after another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with most of what you stated here, but Metallica was wise enough to package this tour with A7F, a band I can't stand but appears the have some metal/rock credibility and Volbeat, who I know nothing of, which on the surface gives the tour more bang fro the buck. If not for the packaging the I agree that metallica would be hard pressed to sell stadiums. Im sure the promoters of this tour saw what GNR did and packaged t for stadiums. also, james wants to play less shows due to health concerns so the stadium leg makes more sense.

ZoSoRose Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I think theyll all fill out very nice for Metallica. Most shows have 3 very popular openers and tickets are cheaper than gnr. Its almost been almost a decade since Metallica toured the states Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I dont think GNR inspired anything. It all comes down to that Metallica hasnt done a US tour in a long time. It was time for them to do it is all. they picked a relatively famous metal band as support and Volbeat who are pretty decent. They'll do very well.

soon Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I wish the Metallica tour was coming to my town! But I doubt I'll travel to see them. With regards to OP, I can definitely imagine that NITL success certainly assures the industry that now is a good time for Metallica to return to NA. Plus a refreshing new album, of course.

Black Sabbath Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think OP is getting at the idea of maybe Metallica thought "Hey, if GN'R is selling out stadiums, we may as well give it a shot too since we haven't toured the states in almost a decade, and we've got the new album out." I thought the same thing. It definitely could have crossed their minds and peaked the idea. Whether or not they can sell them out remains to be seen in a week or so, but them having Avenged Sevenfold will certainly help regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYWIFEMYLIFE Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Avenged Sevenfold is the shit. Been a fan for a long time, and saw them first time in Nottingham last month. Wish they toured with GNR, they suit more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the CitiCard pre-sale. Use the code 412800 and use Amex Express or Visa Checkout to pay if you don't have a CitiCard. That's what I did for two shows I got GA tickets for yesterday and two of the shows I got tickets for still have GA available even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt72 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I think that if your on the fence about going you should go .You will not regret it .Ive seen Metallica numerous times live over the years .The first time as a 14 year kid kid when they opened for Ozzy and was completely blown away in 1986.Seen them just this past Sunday at the Palladium and they were fantastic .There music was meant to be heard live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguyen92 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Man, I would love to go see Metallica with A7X. Where I am at, they are playing at the Rose Bowl and they got Gojira supporting (a band that gets praise from bands like Metallica and A7X and I hear they are pretty good. Their latest album Magma was good, albeit it sounded a bit depressing and moody, but the playing was strong.) I'll see if I can get the funds to get the tickets depending on where I am at in the job front. This tour will sell well. Latest album was a success in the charts, haven't done an NA tour in 8 years, strong support from good-to-great modern bands. The NITL tour didn't really have too much, if any, influence on Metallica's future touring plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Gunner Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 i dont think metallica as a band said hey lets do like gnr but i dont doubt for a second that the promoters are riding the gnr wave and figured that a lot of ppl would do both shows. they booked the exact same venue as gnr in montreal exactly one month before gnr. to the day... theyre riding the coat tails... ill probably end up going though cuz they are a kick ass band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I'm not a fan of Metallica either. Just not my music, like most of Heavy Metal in general. I would say Black Sabbath and some Motörhead stuff is the hardest kind of music I like. I even rejected to go to their show when the big 4 toured a stadium 5 miles away from my home and a buddy offered me tickets.
