Metallica - coming next year !!

[Bone Daddy]

If anyones intrested the latest news is the album is apparently `amazing` according to Bernstein (one half of their managment,who normally never quotes on any music) and is due next year - probably mid year`ish, as they are gearing up to do ALL the festivals in Europe - so that means headlining Reading.
And the big news is they are doing a co-headling tour in the States with Eminem,all over the country at the stadiums around july/august time (pencil me in for N.Y and Florida ) with Eminem going on first,the gigs are on friday,saturday and sundays("weekend warriors"),and should at that rate last about 2 months,sounds good to me.
Apparently the whole package is coming, so expect the dvd making of the album/tours/everything that goes with a new album,etc...........

cant wait, let us know when theres tickets available in the UK or maybe USA (who knows).

Who is performing bass duties?

[Garincha]

Metallica and Eminen touring together?
Same concert?
Well, they do not need each other to fill the stadium? Why then?
Seem no sense to me.

[Bone Daddy]

No they don`t need each other at all,BUT it will be the biggest tour attraction of the year bar none,and whoever thought of it (I expect Lars had a hand in it) is one clever cookie

[Garincha]

Whoever got an idea I somehow have feeling it might not work well. They are simply too different for common tour! Just MHO!

[Rambo John J]

The tour Anthrax and Public Enemy did together went down well. That was a few years ago now, but the obvious musical differences didn't actually make a difference.

[Garincha]

Sure, but for me Antrax and P.E. are miles closer than Eminem and Metallica.
Latter are comercial stuff, others more other way around!

I can imagine Metallica fans hating M'n'M and bottling him. Hope he gets a glass coke bottle on the temple.
M'n'Ms fans will hate Metallica, too.
Chalk 'n' cheese. Daft.

I know a few people who are into metal but will listen to hip hop, i think this has a lot to do with the nu metal scene (limp bizkit, linken park etc). All of the people I know who are into the metal scene own at least one cypress hill album, or a busta rymes album.

But on the other hand I know hardly anyone who is into hip hop that will listen to metal.


I think it will be very benificial for both parties, eminem has done a track with Marylin manson, and fans of both stars enjoyed it, proving that 2 completly different kinds of music can be used to better both genres.

Sorry to burst the bubble, I actually rather like both. The Eminem Show is a good album. If you can ignore the swearing, the messages in his songs are very powerful.

And Metallica are just "the dog's"!

[kev_melon]

I like both too. I think it'll be good for both types of music.
Anyway I don't think Eminem or Metallica fans are that ignorant of other types of music, IMHO.

[karkus30]

Metallica and Eminem all right by me, as long as Eminem is the warm up act. Must say I like to see, just one band at a time unless the bands are similar musically. Is this going to be an outside event? If it is I might just give it a miss, Im too old to roll around in muddy fields, looking through a pair of binoculars at the band and putting up with a PA system that is designed for indoor concerts.
