I just got these in the mail on Saturday. The yellow sleeves are the first show at The Meadowlands in August, and the black sleeves are the second show. Looking at the set lists, they pretty much hit all their popular ones. Interesting that a few songs are here that they seem to not play often...

I received an email from Metallica’s site yesterday, telling me the shows at MetLife Stadium in north Jersey are now available for preorder. They want $25 for each show, and $40 for both shows. Of course I ordered both. On Eddie Trunk’s show yesterday, callers were giving positive remarks about...

And I thought it was cool that they brought up the opening act on stage (Avenged Sevenfold) to help with the backup vocals for the Ramones song.

You are correct- the channel was on the air last, in September 2021, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Black Album. Hooray! Their website had the Berlin concert on 2 CDs, so I ordered that, and 2 other shows. The concert they played this afternoon was every bit as interesting- March...

The Mandatory Metallica channel is winding down (I think today is the last day for it). Sure going out on a high note (excuse the pun)- early this morning, they played a full concert, from 2006 in Berlin. The band played Master Of Puppets, in its entirety, in track order- celebrating 20 years of...

The Metallica channel played something funny this morning- they did a live version of the song Ride The Lightning. Before it began, James told the crowd “we haven’t played this one in a while”. It definitely sounded this way- Kirk’s guitar didn’t hit all the right notes in the solos, and after...

After listening to the album’s songs a few times, I think my favorite song is Shadows Follow. My opinion is nothing on this album is quite as good as Atlas, Rise!, or Moth Into Flame from their previous album.

Yes I have listened to the album through the SiriusXM channel, and my first impression is that the songs are similar- one song can blur into another, or be confused with another.

Today is when the whole album is getting revealed on Mandatory Metallica- its release day. They’re not playing the whole album at one time- they’re mixing in a song between their other stuff. So far I have heard half of the album- Lux Eterna, Screaming Suicide, If Darkness Had A Son, 72 Seasons...

SiriusXM has brought back the Mandatory Metallica channel, due to the release of the album next week. I assume they’ll play the album in its entirety, along with full length concerts, and of course all the music we love. Will be listening to this pretty much non-stop.

Metallica appears on a recent Rolling Stone list- fifty horrible albums by otherwise brilliant artists. St. Anger is at #43. Eddie Trunk says their collaboration with Lou Reed (Lulu) is a far worse album. Wow. I have never heard Lulu, but I trust Eddie’s take (I think St. Anger is horrible- the...

Thank you, Alex for the link to the song Screaming Suicide. I like the song more than Lux Aeterna. Has a similar tempo to Atlas, Rise!

What’s really interesting about this world tour is that there are going to be completely different sets and opening acts in the cities that they’re doing 2 shows. So, if you’re a big Metallica fan, you sort of have to book both shows (I couldn’t imagine being completely satisfied with a show if...

There were a few kick ass songs on their last album Hardwired. Atlas, Rise! and Halo On Fire are standouts.

Lightning and Puppets are amazing. When they do Creeping Death live, it’s thrilling (a big audience participation number). A song I love on Puppets is Disposable Heroes- a music assault.

Metallica has announced that the album will be called 72 Seasons, due in April of next year. They did release a new song a couple of days ago- Lux Eterna (it’s not spelled exactly this way- the E is a weird symbol). The song is upbeat speed metal- one of the shortest songs in their catalog.
