MEH-TA-LLI-CA! MEH-TA-LLI-CA! MEH-TA-LLI-CA! MEH-TA-LLI-CA!

AND NO TICKETMASTER SCALPER SCAM THIS TIME FFS!!!

Is there some kind of problem with the fan club tickets for this show? I've been browsing kijiji and there seems to be quite an emphasis/price difference when the tickets are not fan club. Is there a problem to anyone's knowledge with the fan club tix?

I remember purchasing my copy on tape when I was in grade 5 and my parents were put off by the album cover because it had a bunch of crosses attached to puppet strings. The new album is pretty good too if you haven't heard it yet. It kind of a return to form.

Greatest. Album. EVER.

I have the 2 time`s that METALLICA were here in Halifax on DVD !!!! Cool to have !!

Monkeys are Metallica fans.

Monkeys are Metallica fans. Dave Mustaine doesn't hate them anymore either
A new study published in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters found a group of cottontop tamarins are soothed by the music of Metallica. They were not similarly affected by classical music, according to The Guardian.

Researchers apparently composed "monkey melodies" to investigate whether non-human primates respond to music with the same emotions as human ones. The "monkey music" was inspired by the soothing calls of contented monkeys and the agitated calls of upset monkeys. Researchers found that they were indeed appropriately affected by the tunes. That is to say, relaxed by the contented monkey music and agitated by the upset monkey music.


They also found that the monkeys were "left cold" by a human music. But not ALL human music. The animals were played Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and a soft piano piece from The Fragile by rock band Nine Inch Nails, followed by Metallica's Of Wolf and Man (off the 1991 album Metallica) and an excerpt from The Grudge by rock band Tool. The only human music that elicited any response was Metallica, which "had the unexpected effect of calming the monkeys (!)"
And this could have further reaching implications than one might think.

"The research could lead to a rethink of animal husbandry guidelines, as it showed that monkeys rarely respond positively to human music.

'Lots of primate research laboratories use radios to provide what is called 'enrichment' for their animals, but you can't expect another species to be interested in our music just because we are human,' [Chuck] Snowdon [of the University of Wisconsin] said. "Why should a tamarin find our music comforting? I find the monkey music quite irritating.'"

And in other Metallica news, there may be a big tour in the works with the "Big Four" of thrash.

Slayer's Kerry King apparently told U.K.'s Metal Hammer (via MTV) that he has heard Lars Ulrich wants to plan a tour featuring Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.

"I don't know Lars that well and I haven't heard it from Lars, but apparently he's talking to somebody about it," King said. I guess this means the on-again-off-again feud between Megadeth and Metallica (Megadeth's Dave Mustaine is Metallica's former guitarist and has long harboured a grudge about oh-so-many things but the two bands toured together in 1993, claiming it was all water under the bridge until it all flared up again and well, I just haven't stayed up to date) is off again.

heres part of an interview with scott ian from anthrax dont get your hopes up he says its for europe


Ian also commented on the rumor that stemmed from a recent interview SLAYER guitarist Kerry King gave to U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine in which King stated has heard through the grapevine that METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich is plotting a tour that would include METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX. Scott said, "There's this big rumor that we're gonna do METALLICA, ANTHRAX, SLAYER and MEGADETH next summer in Europe, and this is supposedly coming from the METALLICA camp. So whether it's true or not, I'm really excited about it, and I'll say right now that we will absolutely do it. So we're in. [laughs]"

It's still in the rumour stage so who knows.

Anthrax's new singer absolutely rocked last summer in Montreal. Great voice and amazin stage presence.

I think they got rid of him already. They were rumored to want to get John Bush to rejoin.

Yeah, Bush has been playing a few shows with them already over in Europe.

Oh yeah? That's ok too, I enjoyed Bush when i saw them for Sound of White Noise.

Unfortunately I have never seen Anthrax live. Rented a Pay Per View once though with Anthrax, Megadeth & Motley Crue. I have seen Joey Belledona though, that was a great show.

According to the "Journal de Montreal", Metallica has put the Summer Festivals in Quebec in their "to do" list for next summer.

Considering how close Quebec City is from the Maritimes, I think that if there is a chance for a "Metallica On The Hill", it's should be close to July 08th 2010 - July 18th 2010.

That would be a concert to bring to the hill!! Hope it happens.
