seen this posted about and still feel that it's not 100% true or confirmed

if a band member says they will tour, it's not gospel unless they have a press statement backing it up

would like them to tour but would like confirmation from many sources first before I get excited

 

[Blitzkrieg]

They have now said it in a few interviews, so I will trust it, but yeah confirmation would be nice.

They rocked like a motherfucker the last couple of times I saw them over the last few years, so can't wait to catch a few shows in Aus.

I'll have to finally go see them if they come down. I've seen Slayer twice, Megadeth a few times and part of an Anthrax set, but never Metallica. Should have gone in 1993, but oh well.

 

[Southy]

They are hands down one of the group of performers around, they are brilliant

 

[Spiff]

They sure are one of the group of performers, Southy. Couldn't have said it better!

 

[Southy]

Best even smart arse hahaha I didn't even notice my error

Lots of days in between for extra shows too. Awesome.

 

[Winmar]

Sweet as. Dang I hope I'm around for it. We'll see.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

If they add any more Melb shows (pretty sure they will do at least 2), then I will be getting tickets, as it's possible that the last show on the tour will be the last for the whole 2 year world tour, so would be cool to be there.

It seems they're going to be having a bit of a holiday here as well with all that free time. I will be interested to check out any tour blogs that come about.

 

[Southy]

There are here in Brisso on my Birthday, so you fucking know I have to be there

 

[Incarnate]

 

[Spiff]

Chortle.

 

[AussieTerry84]

Didn't they tour here for the last album? Weird as they usually only come here when they have something to promote.

 

[Southy]

They were last here in '04 I think it was mate. They are coming for the current tour cycle on the Death Magnetic album, hopefully this will the end of the tour and they can go back and record an even better album again and build on it

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Indeed.

I also hear that they are bringing their whole circular stage set. That will be cool for something different at least.

 

[Spiff]

And it's in the round. I have mixed feelings about that. Never been a big fan of the concept, and have been to two concerts where it has happened. Meh.

 

[FerretallicA]

Slash is playing the Enmore in August too.
I'm possibly as excited about that.

I thought theirs was pretty good. If they bring they full monty I think you'll really enjoy it. It was an impressive stage set. Will try and dig out some piccies.
