Well, they used to be excellent in concert. No idea what they are like now, I have to admit. I seriously don't think I could sit/stand through a two-hour concert of theirs unless they only played their decent stuff and none of the commercial pap they've released since the 'black' album.
First saw them in 1990 at the SECC and they gradually declined each time I saw them after that. Last time I went was when they headlined Milton Keynes Bowl with Megadeth, The Almighty and Diamond Head in '94.
They had become too egotistical and insisted on rounding off each song with a three-minute crescendo. Well done guys. :roll:
First saw them in 1988 at the Playhouse in Edinburgerland, my very first gig, and still one of the best i have attended, have not seen them since 1996 in the Barrowlands, and boy that was one hell of a gig, i'm not overly fond of SECC gigs, i'm a short arse and can never bloody see over all the tall people :lol: but i'll be going to this gig for sure, should have my tickets secured by tomorrow morning :)

But gonna miss the march gig!!
:(
I never really listen to Radio 1 but for some reason bunged it on tonight in the kitchen and just in time too as heard My Apocalypse! First tour for 13 years apparently.
I've been lucky enough to see them three times, Wembley 1991, Milton Keynes 1996 and Download 2004.
Can't make up my mind whether or not to go for it in March :confused

Fair play. Couldn't have said it better myself.
Saw them in Wembley last year and they were SUPERB. Basically played a greatest hits gig. I don't recall a single song past 1990. Nothing from Load or Reload or St. Anger.
I like the new album, so if they mix this up with the older stuff, it'll be an amazing night.
Hopefully I'll be there
First time i saw them was at Monsters Of Rock Donington Park 91, It was my first concert seein them live and have seen them afew times since, Will certainly be bookin my tickets
Sweet!!...got my tickets secured this afternoon :D

Cheers mate, will check it out.
lol never thought about staying anywhere, will see emorra to see if i get tickets then worry about stayin somewhere
Just my luck, Sold out, Nae tickets for me :-((
Yeah a mate just talked to the SECC and it's sold out
So was anyone lucky enough to secure tickets from this mornings online shambles?, so much for tickets going on sale at 9am, i don't even think Ticketmaster had any tickets left for the Glasgow date to put on sale this morning, they seem to have all been sold through the last few days pre-sale to Metclub members etc, and also there seem to have been plenty of other ticket agencys selling tickets prior to the official 9am start, there are a few posts on the official Metallica forum from people saying that they managed to get tickets last night, the way tickets are sold these days is just a bloody joke, and ebay is already flooded with tickets for the Glasgow dates.
I managed to secure 2 tickets through the friend of a friend who joined the Metclub, and i only had to pay £5 over the face value plus fees, so i was lucky, i just feel gutted for all the other true fans like myself that were unable to get tickets, i think it's now time for a mass rebellion against Ticketshafter.
We got ours on Thursday via Ticketmaster. Since we went to Wembley last year to see them, we got first choice on the tickets again.
well i must o been one o the 1000's that logged onto ticketmaster at 09.00am and no luck then so no happy lol
like BazzaG i was online for 9am kick off only to be told 'nae chance'. I even tried for the O2 arena gigs only to be told the same. Well and truly gutted and also suspect that the entire gig had been snapped up by people who had presale offers etc.

My mate got 4 for Newcastle, seemed to be the best to get tickets for.
Yeah i could have had 4 tickets for newcastle from Ticketshafter, it was the only date i could get through to, probably could have made a few pound out of it if i had pond scum tout qualities about me, come to think about it, i should have actually bought them and passed them on to genuine fans for what they cost me.
Cheapest tickets for Glasgow on ebay are £74 each, or a few are selling for £300 a pair!
Everywhere is sold out too make a fast buck :confused
