Metallica - 2009 Tour Dates (MSG)

Metallica @ Stubb's for SXSW (more by Fresh Bread)
Metallica

"European Summer Vacation, part 2,347 will end on August 2, so that can only mean one thing ... more dates in the U.S. and Canada! We just rocked Austin at SXSWand are super psyched that we'll be back in North America visiting our friends in the Fall as the World Magnetic Tour keeps rolling on. We had an amazing time on the last run in '08 and early '09 and we are so ready to do it again!

Tickets go on sale either April 4 or April 11 - please see dates below and keep watching here for more information about on sale times and support acts." -Metallica

Love turned to hatred for Metallica long ago, but lately that's turned into something in the middle which is a mix of my love/hate, and their classics-filled setlists. I figured I shouldn't miss the opportunity to see them at the small-for-them venue that was Stubb's during SXSW, but then I didn't try very hard to get in, and I ended up just listening to most of it from the street with lots of other people (many of whom were singing along to good ones like Master of Puppets). The only other venue I would probably make an effort to see Metallica at again, is Madison Square Garden in NYC, which is where they're playing on November 14th (thx Joe). All tour dates below...

Nassau show was tons of fun....isn't that part of what music is about? Having fun?

Shit yes. Hopefully there will be a better opener than Machine Head.

Maybe Mastodon, or keeping with their new found love of the good old days, King Diamond? Naw that is too much to expect. I'm going with Mastodon.

Posted by noamjamski | March 24, 2009 4:57 PM

Mastadon or Trivium I bet. They had Lamb of God on the West Coast. That would be a nice East Coast surprise.

Posted by Anonymous | March 24, 2009 5:34 PM

I hear it's Mastodon and like I said with Death Magnetic, if they come around with a good opener and a good setlist, I'm there!

Posted by Anonymous | March 24, 2009 5:59 PM

Mastodon would be dope. When was the last time Metallica played the Garden?

Posted by Anonymous | March 24, 2009 7:33 PM

If Lamb of God plays with them, then I'll be in the front fucking row.

Death to false metal.

Awesome. Thanks for the list. Hopefully I'd get to drop by on one of their tours.

Why can't they come back to Chicago!?!

Posted by nic | April 8, 2009 8:32 PM

Fortunately, HETTFIELD (it's the new name of the Lars Ulrich Trio And A Half... yes, they spell the band differently than the harmonica player's last name) doesn't have to come to Chicago, because Mastodon is coming on their own.

Thank you, Mastodon.
