Metallica‘s M72 World Tour lands in Toronto on April 24 and 26. Fan-filmed video has been shared taking a peek inside the Metallica popup shop; plus a soundcheck video of James Hetfield playing “The Unforgiven II”.
Live Nation recently shared details of the band’s “Toronto Takeover” events for April 25.
Kirk Hammett / The Collection: Live At The TIFF Lightbox:
Join Kirk Hammett, legendary guitarist of the multi-platinum-selling and 9X Grammy Award-winning band Metallica, for an intimate, live discussion that will take a deep dive into Kirk’s storied music career, and celebrate the launch of his new coffee table book, The Collection: Kirk Hammett.
This event is now SOLD OUT.
The Art Of Squindo – A Q&A Session At The Lounge At Live Nation:
“Born in NJ and raised on huge doses of Saturday morning cartoons through the 70s and 80s definitely shaped the attitude and art style I have today. More than once my art teachers told me that what I was doing was not art and the cartoon-ish style could never mesh with real art, leaving no future or career doing what I was doing… so of course I pursued it! My fine art is a lowbrow collection of skulls, hotrods, monkeys, tikis and pinup girls primarily painted with wood stain on panels and I also sculpt in epoxy clay and automotive body filler. When I’m not behind a pencil or paintbrush, I’m most definitely behind the wheel of my 65 Snotrocket panel truck or my 1931 pickup from hell out slinging art at your local car show. Seems that some of my teachers may have been wrong…the combination of quirky cartoons and heavy metal has been working for me so far.”
Tickets available now here.
