I did search for a thread,but couldn't find one.
Obviously everyone knows about this, and yeah, I get it, Metallica is shit, it's pop music, they aren't as good as 30 years ago.blah blah blah.
Anyway, it's the biggest metal gig in Ireland, and I'm sure plenty on this site are going, wether they admit it or not!!
Picked up a ticket for £60, so happy enough with that, just hope it's not lashing!!
Really want to see Ghost live but just can't bring myself to go back to Slane (ever) ... Hopefully they get a good enough reception that MCD decided to bring them back for a headline show at some stage. If not, I'll get around to go seeing them somewhere in Europe.
Good luck to everybody going .... hope it's a great day.
Absolutely, I think this is the worst place to see ghost. Really needs to be indoors to get the full experience. Caught them on the Meliora tour in the UK and it was ace. Can't imag it being the same at Slane, during the day and with 65k people who don't know or care who they are.
Yeah I'm going. Long time Metallica fan despite them disappointing me again and again. I have to say it's possibly the most piss poor line-up I've ever parted with cash to see though. I'm somewhat interested to see Ghost but the rest is abysmal.
Stiff little fingers is a strange addition.
No idea what to expect being a slane virgin, tho done plenty festivals in England.
Will there be 3 burger vans, and a pop up bar? Lol
Slane Virgin?
Expect to be surrounded the the real life Hills Have Eyes. 50-60% of the audience won't know anything other than the black album. €7 pints. Long queues for the jacks, bar, food and and other facility or service. People from Leitrim and Longford engaging in sexual activity in public. Finally the big rush before the encore to get out of the kip.
At best I was expecting Sepultura or Alice In Chains level support. At worst I thought Volbeat would have been added. But Stiff Little Fingers and Fangclub? Dreadful stuff.
Supposedly Therapy? offered their services and were told they weren't even being considered.

Don't mind that Cryptic Whingebag. Get a rake of pints into ya and you'll be fine 8)
Yes it's going to be festival prices/ques and yes, not everybody there is going to be a die hard metal fan and yes, you city boys may have difficulty getting home after, but you can't have everything on your doorstep all the time can you?
Sure the GAA heads will love an auld mosh I'd say :laugh:
I've heard rumours that Metallica were asked to play a different venue cos ticket sales are well below what was expected. Lars has Slane on his list of world famous venues that he wants to play so there was no budging by the band.
Latest support additions are awful.
Giggles clearly from the greater Longford/Leitrim area. Has his sack of economy larger at the ready.

What was expected? Sounds like a load of bollocks to me no doubt came from the gob of lad who is hoping it went to the pale rather than actually believe that garbage. Lars has Slane on his list of venues would like to see this list :laugh:, seriously if he gave a fuck about venues he'd be doing shows in the Royal albert hall they don't.
Sher look, rumours are always just that, no doubt from someone supposedly "in the know". I'd believe Lars would be difficult in a situation like that, all the same.
I'd love to know how many tickets have actually sold. What constitutes a disaster as far as sales go?
99% of metal heads i know arent going to this,so i can see why numbers would be way down.
Im a long time metallica fan and a big Gohst fan,and i cant find the will to go to this.The Venue,the hassle,being swamped by day tripping gimps,nah cant do it.
At a push i might have went if it was in Croker or the Aviva.
All joking aside this could have one of the lowest turnouts for Slane since it's inception.
Slane is for the lay community and nothing about this bill will appeal to them. Metallica would pull 20-30k here absolute max. The organizers have done nothing to make an event out of this, Ghost are relatively unknown here (Look on the Facebook page to see the amount of troglodytes asking who the fuck they are) and adding Stiff little fingers will achieve what exactly???
Bon Jovi had one of the worst turnouts here in recent times, much less than 50k. I'd expect this one will do even less.
Metallicas core fan base are predominantly metal heads,but there seems to be a total lack of enthusiasm within the metal community for this show.So the organisere are banking on event junkie day trippers to fill the place.
I know more metal heads going to the Cure the same day.
Been about 10 years I think since I last saw them and would have considered this if it was in practically any other venue in the country. Instead I'm going to stick on Live Shit and have a rake of cans
Same as that, I know more metalheads including myself going to the Cure, bad planing by MCD having the two gigs on the same day did they not expect cross-over in fans....
Can't be as many pricks there as ACDC at Aviva!! Jesus
Just looking up past lineups, Ignore the type of act and just consider the pulling power.

The year Bon Jovi Played was a washout, the bill was just as thick as this Metallica one. Bon Jovi + Coronas + Bressie + Ham Sandwich
I'd say you're literally looking at 35-40K for this at best. A far cry from the numbers pulled a few years ago for GNR or any of the above examples.
The Verve,forgot about how big those cunts were!.Yeah some of those line up are massive in terms of pulling crowds.

Metallica bill job have never worked here in my experience, A lot of Metallica fans are Metallica fans and thats where their association with Metal stalls. Only have to look at social media comments who are Ghost?, why can't we have the bands like on the US tour or Oz?, (Avenged/Slipknot) well when they actually toured with them here the stuff attributed to Ghost was the same for those at the time, probably by the same people asking for those bands now :laugh:. AIC were another reluctance when they played with them in the RDS and now sold out and played one of the gigs of the year Monday I hear.
I was at that Rolling Stones day, raining and think the Stones themselves pretty much curated the bill, this bill is nowhere near as bad as that one.

I grew up about 15 mins from Slane Castle and I live in Donegal. Takes me a lot longer to get home after an average Dublin gig than it would take you to get home from Slane, but I'm not on here whinging about it at every available opportunity.
I can understand the lack of enthusiasm for this gig within the metal community. I've seen Metallica a bunch of times, last time was 10 years ago and I said I wouldn't bother seeing them again. I'm only going this time to eat a bunch of drugs in a field with my childhood friends and piss off some townies :abbath:
Oh, and I don't drink economy lager, I drink Tesco vodka ;)
Actually one thing that pissed me off about the GNR gig was the alcohol ban in the village. And I heard of the garda stopping buses and lifting peoples cans. That's shite craic.
QuoteActually one thing that pissed me off about the GNR gig was the alcohol ban in the village. And I heard of the garda stopping buses and lifting peoples cans. That's shite craic.
Fair play to them!
I'm camping for this, I did the same at GnR last year and said it was the only way i'd ever go back. Head down friday, back sunday, no traffic in or out. Lineup is absolute shite though, no interest in ghost or the other bands whatsoever so cans in the campsite til just before Metallica are due to come on and stroll to the venue. No-one I've heard is even considering going to this of the people I know, and i'm going with 3 mates who don't listen to metal. I'm kinda hoping the numbers are terrible for this because Gnr was a bit overwhelming and so badly organised.
I haven't been to Slane since 1998 - I went only to see the Manic Street Preachers (I saw them in Cork Opera House the night before and I got offered a free ticket/spin to the Verve gig where they were supporting). Watched a bit of John Squire play guitar for The Seahorses to a disinterested crowd. As soon as the MSP finished, we were out of there and back on the road to Cork. I've never had the desire to revisit the place.
I'm not a fan of enormo-gigs any more but The Cure is where I'd be.
Metallica will be kick off their set before it gets dark, won't they? That'll severely affect Ghost's stage show - I imagine.
At 1800hrs all that make-up and smoke will just look like a few dead guys having a BBQ.
"At 1800hrs all that make-up and smoke will just look like a few dead guys having a BBQ."
Ha Ha!
I'm heading to this :)
Looking forward to it tbh
I'm preparing myself mentally for the dose of getting there, etc
But looking forward to the show, craic, beers
Haven't been there since FNM and GnR in the 90s!
Unlike the rest of Metal Ireland 2.0 it seems I'm looking forward to this. Been obsessed with Metallica for more than half my life now, and I've managed to cover myself in a nice layer of delusion, convincing myself it will be good
Anyone know if bars and burger places take cards or is it all cash?
What's security like? I've managed to smuggle booze into download plenty of times, hidden in every available orifice.

At least they would have bolstered things from a talent standpoint if not an attendance one. There is loads of tickets available for this on adverts for way below cost price. They weren't as readily available for G n R. I do think gold circle tickets are all gone though and I think someone said on MI that platinum tickets where you got to meet the band (for two grand) were all gone too.....
Hang on, GNR in Slane wasn't that busy was it? I heard at the time that it was far from sold out and that you could get tickets for 50 quid on the day outside it? Anyone know if this is true?
I knew Metallica in Slane would be a disaster numbers wise the minute this was announced. They are just not big/known enough to the average Slane fan mucker. As someone said, I reckon there will be 30-40,000 max for this. Anyway, Ill probably go for the piss up but there's no way I'm giving much money to see this.
Anyone know where I'd get cheapo tickets?
Slane can hold 80k people,what would constitute not busy?50k/60k?.Tickets and freebees will always be plentyfull for capacitys that big if it doesnt sell out fast.
You know what,this Metallica show might actually be some bit enjoyable if the venue is half full.40k less people trying to get in and out of the place might make the day bearable.

It's a field in Co. Meath dude I'm fairly certain it will be cash only! Bunch of us managed to sneak drink into GNR 2 years ago no problems so you should be fine, given your previous experience 8)
Has anybody ever actually listened to Bokassa?
Any facebook group,slane page etc has mountains of people's selling tickets.I reckon the general public/summer gig day tripper types bought tickets when they went on sale and had a rethink.
Hopefully it'll be a smaller crowd than guns n roses as it was a bollox to get around,there is nothing user friendly about slane as a venue.few videos of ghost supporting online and the daylight doesn't seem to do them any harm.the rest of the bill is a piss take though.
.
Lads from Longford will be stocking up wheelbarrows to cart their beer in.
does anybody know do you have to come out of the gold circle to get to food stalls,beer tent and toilets..
i have a ticket for the gold circle
Yes, you have to come out mate. That was one of the big complaints from the gnr show.
huge amounts of tickets being sold online for heavy discounts if anyone is looking. cant link it right but facebook markets have them
Yet there's people on gumtree still trying to get up to £100 for their tickets
Chortle, expected attendance of 75000.

Amount of spare tix for this is unreal. What's more laughable is clowns trying to sell them for 70-80 euro!
The sale that never comes.
there's a thread on boards.ie where some lads are speculating when in the set they will play 'whisky in the jar'.
I hope they don't. play it,I would much rather a deep cut.

I'm considering heading to this if I come across a cheap ticket. Travel and other expenses are a bit of a hassle though. Weather seems like it's going to be shite too. Had a look on google to see what Slane is like when there's a gig in the rain and the mud doesn't look fun!

Whiskey is actually how you spell it here ::)
What constitutes a deep cut? They've played Whiskey less times than No Leaf Clover or Bleeding me which would be swift. Interesting fact even
about 4 songs from Hardwired have been played more than Whiskey has now!

A field in the middle of nowhere where the village is closed off to attendees? Only option is the venue strangely enough!
Navan or Drogeda nearby if ya want to booze prior, further away Fibbers are open in the big smoke from 10am if that's your style, you can potter outside the venue and drink cans to yer hearts content too...well until you want to proceed through the checkpoints anyway.
Looking for one camping ticket for this if anyone knows of one going.........

Still laughing at Brewing Up A Storm :laugh:
Time to close the gates and keep the non- metallers out, to fuck.

"Frantic, one of their better songs in fairness."
They should do a cover of Sean O'Riada's "Mise Eire" while they're at it
If they are to play Whiskey..., can they at least just tag it onto the end of something like Emerald, Jailbreak, etc

Ah lad you'll be grand. Thlse gobshites will prob be too busy on their phones to bother regular metal folk!
I have to say, I was a bit pessimistic leading up to this gig and was considering flogging my ticket a while back, but I'm proper excited for tomorrow!
I've seen Metallica a rake of times and I often criticise how lame they've become; sloppy performances "Metallica loves you" etc. James Hetfield couldn't even set off a metal detector in an airport these days!!
But tomorrow I'm gonna get shit faced in a field with a bunch of sound heads that I grew up listening to Metallica with. The band have fallen a long way from their prime form, but they've written a bunch of deadly tunes that I still listen to on a regular basis, and they are largely responsible for getting me into metal in general. Nice one lads. Beer me :abbath:
Could have easily wrote that post myself. Nicely put man :) it will be a great day, alcohol , nostaglia and metal :abbath:
6 songs from Hardwired = Nostalgia?
I imagine it's the older songs that the rest of the set will consist of that will add the nostalgia factor for the lads. I don't know, it just seems more logical to me.

Yeah also my fav song frantic. It's gonna be epic. Plus fingers crossed for that cover song :laugh:
On a serious note as previous poster had said getting drunk with old friends and "some" old songs. I'll keep my serious metal head on for the metal summer festivals. Today it's just a bit of crack in my eyes.
The rain forecast for today doesn't look like it's gonna be too bad. A shower here and there maybe, like GNR but certainly nowhere near as bad as the Rolling Stones. Have fun lads :abbath:
Are the ticket sales as bad as the rumours say they are?
I wasn't going to go because of the usual Slane shite and the price, but if there's going to be 20k odd less than capacity and there's people trying to get rid of tickets for next to nothing I'm thinking it might be worth heading out
https://touch.adverts.ie/for-sale/q_Metallica+slane/
Heaps of tickets on adverts for 50 squids. 1 desperado selling 2 for €25!!!!
Surely it won't be crazy mobbed so? Fingers crossed anyway. I'm thinking cans in the car until near enough Ghost. Especially if the weather is dodgy.
Have a great day those of you who are going.
Just waiting on my bus to move now. Fucking massive crowd and despite forking out for golden circle tickets, I've never felt so removed from a band at a gig. I'm sure it was grand but it basically left me never wanting to see them again.
Also have never encountered ignorance like the cunts in the golden circle. In over 20 years of gigs I found the attitudes of some amazingly poor. One bird in particular really deserved a punch in the nose.
I thought it was class even though the setlist wasn't the best (Frantic, Memory Remains and Whiskey :/).
I've never seen them before so it was nice to hear a few of the classics live.
Rob's 'Orion' tribute to Cliff was very cool too.
Ghost were amazing, I'd love to see them headline a gig here, in an indoor venue however.
Bokassa were pretty good, I'll check them out.
SLF are punk legends but that was a poor set imo.
And Fang Club just seem like another one of the many Nirvana knockoffs going around Dublin.
Absolute shite, last time i was there was 1992 and i swore id never go back. That was the worst concert ive ever been at.

Not the best setlist but I had an absolutely amazing time seeing them. Missed the Wild Rover thankfully, that sounded dreadful. But that 5 song run of One, Puppets, Bell Tolls, Creeping Death, and Seek & Destroy was so good
What was the attendance like.From the bits and pieces I've seen online.It looked pretty packed.Kinda sorry I didn't go now.Ive not seen em in year's.
Superb gig great setlist taught they were unreal gold circle was a great job not over packed just perfect , with all the 40k crowd figures being shouted about well that was completely wrong anyway place was well full surely well over 70k there great to see first and probably last time making the trip to slane as I'm sure no band I will ever want to see will play there again, looked amazing once it got dark castle stage fantastic setting , the walk in and out of the place to and from buses is a farce especially after the gig , toilets joke the way they organize them , bar closed at 21.55 dont see the point in that ,

My 6th time seeing Metallica and it was easily their worst. Didn't get to Slane until late enough, so I was a good bit back, which made a huge difference to any previous times I've seen them I've been in the pit. Sound wasn't great where I was and that setlist was a bit shit. Not many around me had any interest for the new stuff. Did Hetfield apologise for the setlist at one point?
Highlight of the gig for me was watching the video of Cliff rocking out on the big screen along to Orion.
There were some really nice colours in the sky after the sun went down, and the lights for Nothing Else Matters was amazing! It's some spot for a gig.
Got a bus home from Slane for the first time ever. Fuck me it's some dose alright.
Great day out but I don't think I'll ever bother seeing Metallica again.

This is a great setlist. A 10/10 setlist. Before any considerations of the actual performance, the setlist from last night can't rank higher than a very generous 6/10.
I'd say if the weather had to have been better it would have been completely full. It was pretty packed as it was.
Setlist was dire. 5 from Hardwired, Whiskey, Frantic & Memory. It hasn't been this great on this leg in general but most other nights had 4 from Hardwired and no cover. Still enjoyed it and had a residents pass so I was in the car and on the road home at 11.40
Photos and clips doing the rounds on social media look good,for a brief moment i regretted may be not going.First band i properly fell in love with as a young fella.
Over 70k is insane.Fair play to everyone that went.I had em doing 40/50k max :o.

Seemed to be a decent response where I was. Bizzarely, Memory Remains got a way better response where I was than Ride the Lightning! Also, near me went nuts for Frantic.
I enjoyed them having never seen them before, also a band playing new stuff on a new album tour is a no brainer so I'm not going to complain about that.
Given the size and mixed ages of the crowd were people really expecting them to play stuff from the first 4 albums only?.
5 from the newest album is pushing it a bit for a band of that vintage. Don't think you'd catch many bands with that many albums behind them doing it.
New album is class and comes across great live , the tour is for the new album fuck sake of course there going to play 4 or 5 from it , great to hear some songs we hadn't heard live in years , they have so many good songs at this stage bound to be a few missing from any setlist they play , unforgiven was incredible , got in when stiff little fingers were on travelling down from the top to gold circle and you couldn't even hear the band until you were at least half way down sound was awful top half of field for them anyway probably not much better for ghost and Metallica

Slayer's setlist from last night at Rock am Ring. One instrumental track from new album as intro music, one other track from it played to open... and that's it. 11 songs total from the classic albums.
Actually yeah, The Unforgiven was incredible. Was hoping the band would join in on Orion, but unfortunately they didn't.

That's a fairish point... though Hardwired is almost 3 years old now too, so that must be why it strikes me as odd to still be plugging it to that extent. And also since, in my head, any Slane-size concert should be a greatest hits show, given that the greatest hits is the only puller of that size of a crowd. But hey, they did Whiskey! :abbath:
It's a strange one, because if they didn't play any new songs people would slag them for being a nostalgia act, if they play too many people complain about that too :laugh:.
I haven't listened to their most recent properly but I'd be more annoyed they played something off St Anger :laugh:, I thought that was in the 'pretend it doesn't exist' pile haha.

Very cool.
Alot of wank in the setlist.
Memory remains? Who would actually suggest that if a fan was picking a set list.trujillo might aswell have had a pint of Guinness and a gaa jersey on for the wild rover.As others mentioned there was far too much hardwired material.
Thought Ghost were great and hopefully will be 3arena bound soon for their own full show.
Not interested in seeing 'tallica these days in any venue but those outdoor shows are a complete waste of time and money for me. Even Maiden wouldn't tempt me to one of them these days. I'd agree that the setlist for those shows should be the classics, anything less is an insult to those who trundled along. Whiskey in the fucking jar, can barely stomach the Thin Lizzy version, heading off with Metallicas version ringing in your (bleeding) ears must have been a traumatic event for all concerned.
What's the craic with all the hate for SLF around here? I thought they had a great set, very enjoyable. Compared to those glorified pop stars in Ghost.
Worst thing about Metallica was the setlist. Would have liked to have seen a couple more KEA or MOP tunes, gimme some Whiplash or Battery or something. Frantic needs to be scrapped. They should never play the Wild Rover again. I enjoyed the gig a lot more than I thought I would have, even if there was a couple week spots
Personally the only 2 songs in the set I'd never seen them play were Memory remains and Ride the Lightning so I was quite happy to lap them up back to back ;D
Wild Rover was an unwanted present you could laugh at (whilst going to the bar). Was hardly their finest show but I really enjoyed it much more than indoors in London 2 years ago even.
Tobias better stick to his word and comeback, a semi muted reception with half the crowd seemingly unaware of them but they surely scooped up some new fans.
Setlist was very disappointing, apart from that all-too-short run of classics. Drank enough to not really notice too much gobshitery. Left during the encore and got on the road without any delay.

this was Slane fella,thousands there couldnt give a shite what they played as long as they played Enter sandman.Its a day out on the piss for most,this wasnt a gathering of die hard fans.The bands setlist was aiming at the semi casual event junkie,which is what Slane is.
You cant really compare Slayers and Metallicas sets,two different audiences ,with a bit of a cross over.

Fair enough lad. There was no confusion on my part as to what Slane is about nor of the cross section of the population to be found at a Metallica concert these days. No harm in a recap every now and then, I suppose. Cheers.

Are you not kind of talking at crossed purposes to yourself though? It was an audience of semi-casuals, not die hard fans...so then it should have been a greatest hits setlist rather than 5 tracks off the newest, surely?
Guess they really are just aiming to plug the new stuff still, rope some of those casuals into streaming the new material. 'Cos in terms of die hard, I mean we have to be talking John McClane on steroids style fans who are still actively listening to their newer releases!
Seems like the 75k figure was probably correct, as the Irish Times and Indo were using it in their post show reports. Also: https://metallica-res.cloudinary.com/image/upload/v1560052829/Photos/Live%20Photos/2019-06jun08_slane-photos/2019-06jun08_pic44_bm.jpg
Disappointed with the setlist; there were some a month or two back that were considerably better. Lords of Summer instead of Spit Out The Bone would've been class. It's their best song in at least two decades.
I still loved the show.
.
Going by the clips I've seen on Facebook and the set list, I'm glad I gave this a miss. They're a completely spent force live, and Hetfield, surprisingly enough, is their weakest link. I'd be hard pressed to think of a tribute act that couldn't do a better approximation of Metallica than Metallica themselves. That said, and it bears no relevance to the gig itself, but serious kudos to them for their charitable donation.
Still though, good call there Cryptic on the attendance figures.
I was well off the mark with the attendance, I underestimated the lay community who in fairness made a great effort to go to it.
Now on to work where the questioning awaits "Did you go to Metallica " "You would've loved it" and so forth.
Great gig I thought
One was huge
Ride The Lightening was brilliant to hear live
I thought the sound was excellent
And tell me, why do people rate Ghost?!
They have some nice riffs, then ruin it with Eurovision styled muck
It was fair annoying
I like both styles, but not mixed like that
Desperate stuff
Very good day out overall
Sound crowd and security

Most people rate Ghost because when they came out with the first album was excellent, i was lucky enough to see them back then before they became a pop act.
i said the last time i went to metallica i wouldnt go see them again, tbh wish i had of stuck to my guns. the few old songs they did play i did enjoy partly because i was hammered. but overall the "Slane" experiance was a load of shite.
First time at Slane. I was expecting the very worst. Arrived as Ghost came on. Headed to the bar - got through that in around 10-15 mins . Ghost were very quiet. Headed back up the hill - lost everyone I was with headed down onto the floor of the place and there was buckets of space. More pints - had a great old time to myself. Setlist wouldnt have been my choices but saying that it all sounded and looked great. The walk back to the car was desperate utterly hammered.The walk down was pleasant enough though. The levels of organisation is about what you would expect outside mainland Europe. Still pints were cheaper than the Belfast Telegraph building.
Anyone know what Ghosts set list was? A friend who'd never heard of them was able to advise they played Rats and a song that was very evil sounding with lots SATAN type bits (year zero :laugh:)

That Lord of Summers song just goes through the motions after the first 2 minutes in, like most of Metallica songs post the Load/Reload era, the songs become so laboured. Give me Blackened/Battery/Harvester Of Sorrow instead personally.
Considering it was Slane, it should have been a greatest hits show. 5 new songs was a bit much considering they've already gigged the hell out of that album for the last 3 years or so. Sound wasn't bad from halfway up the hill with all the rain. Enjoyed Ghost, came in just before them. Third time to Slane and I reckon the last time, just not worth the hassle. Definitely would have to give a lot of thought to another outdoor gig.
Just a few observations now that the dust has settled on Saturdays show- first of all to have over 70,000 people at a metal concert in Ireland is surreal in many ways and will never happen again. I was having the argument with my brother that, as a rock show it was unbelievable. However from a metal perspective the setlist was poor. No battery, fight fire with fire, whiplash or anything of the fast variety - that to me is inexcusable regardless of what the target audience may be.
Did Hetfield acknowledge the shit setlist at one point? Did he say something like "We're playing what we wanna play"?
And then they left the stage for about 5 mins, and came back not to play another song, but to say goodnight.

I'm not sure what he meant by this but it seems it came across wrong as the setlist was exactly what it was supposed to be.

Had a rare auld time. Friday night drinks in the campsite, stumbled into Lynch's at 10am Saturday morn and ended up in there for most of the early afternoon, enjoyed the gig despite chips being knocked out of my hands twice in a row :abbath:
General consensus in our group is that we're done with Slane until AC/DC announce a date.
Was there for the day with a good gang of mates. Didn't think too much of Fangclub, Bokassa or Stiff Little Fingers.
Ghost played a good set although the sound was a bit low for them. I guess that's to be expected. Their setlist was good and the new songs sounded great live.
Metallica's setlist was a right joke as most people seem to agree on. That flurry of classics towards the end was nice though, great to hear One, Master of Puppets, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Creeping Death and Seek and Destroy all back to back! The sound for Metallica was great too, and I thought James' vocals were fairly on form... he seems to have dialed back on the crooning which can only be good news!
Also it seems they dropped The God That Failed from the setlist so they could but Whiskey in... would have much preferred the god that failed, one of the more under rated songs on the black album if you ask me!
Metallica are at that point in their career where they can play umpteen setlist variations like say ,for example, Bruce Springsteen can. They obviously can't keep everyone happy. I saw them in Vancouver in 2017 and they played Whiplash, Roam and Fight Fire, three songs I'm sure lots of you would have loved to see in Slane but you guys got Ride and Creeping Death which I didn't. Their encore is always a fast thrash song followed by Nothing Else and Sandman. You got Spit Out The Bone as the fast song, I got Fight Fire, some gigs they'll play Battery. I saw they played Disposable Heroes at one gig recently. You win some you lose some. I will say one thing, the opening with Hardwired is very well done and when that riff kicks in it really hits ya.
Springsteen has also played entire albums live,he doesn't stick rigidly to a cannon of about 30 songs which metallica seem to be doing on the entire hardwired tour.
Seems they helicoptered to Liscannor for grub and a look at the Cliffs of Moher the other day too

Indeed, a surprisingly enjoyable performance, only Kirk sloppy as fuck as usual, first main heavy solo especially. Nice scream from Hetfield on "Please God NO!"
Lars really speeds up during the double kick bit

Whiplash
Orion
One
Ride the Lightning
Fight Fire With Fire

Enter Sandman
Creeping Death
Hit the Lights

Just watching it now and they don't seem to want anything to do with each other. I know that's a massive stage but you normally see band members at least gesturing to each other one stage.
They're businessmen, not musicians at this stage. I imagine they all hate each other and are just there for the money.

Hetfield looked like he'd rather be at home having a wank and Trujillo looked like he won a competition to be in a band.Lars was missing beats from the first tune.

Incredible at that level really, both of them have a guitar tech each who does everything but hold the guitar.
It's a massive merchandising machine they have going there, and even though I enjoyed the gigs last year, maybe they should follow Slayer's lead and jack it in. If you watch the 'making of' series on YouTube of the last record, pay attention to the timer of the video when Hammett makes an appearance. There's some episodes where he doesn't appear at all, and it's regular over ten minutes between him showing up for a second or two.
They openly said he had fuck all involvement in the record as he had personal shit going on. Seems he literally just came in to throw some random solos on it and that's it.

Weird I never saw that, I remember seeing an interview where he said he'd lost all of his riff ideas after he lost his phone, then Hetfield came out and doubted the whole thing.
They are slowly but surely turning into Anvil.......

Just had a flick through it.... Hammett's tone on the clean bits of The Unforgiven 🤢
"Papa Het"... Jesus wept. How much was it a pop again to have the privilege of watching this shit in person?
I decided to stick this on, while I'm working, through decent speakers. Just got to The Unforgiven. Yeah... I mean... yeah :laugh:
They mustn't be able to talk to each other again or offer any criticism to each other because there's no way they all thought "Yeah, that sounds great Kirk, use that sound"
Still just under two hours to go, FFS
You do have an off button.
If only he did have an off button :laugh:
I heard that this is getting an official release soon enough, doesn't seem likely if they're putting it up on Youtube though.
Edit: April 1st bollocks, apparently. Thankfully.

It's interesting to check in on them every few years, painful as it is. It always amazes me that the same lads made Master of Puppets. They're now interesting as a human drama rather than as a band.

You pay in to see some quare oul shite, fella. You disgust me :laugh:
They should have played some stuff from Lulu. It's their only decent album since Load.

The Wild Rover, was that their 'local jam'? Fucking hell, it's an old English folk song, how thick are they?
But they played Whiskey that's as good as a local jam you're ever going to get .
There's nothing good about their version of Whiskey In The Jar.
Ahhh come on, it ends... eventually.
Lads it's not whiskey in the jar. Its whiskey in the Jaroooahah
