One of the leverages you have when you own the rights to everything you do, AND you aren’t massive pricks. People can criticize their choices all they want, these guys always remember what it’s like to be a fan.

[@herooftheday1107]

True, I think it was a mistake to have put that it is the only band that does that at the moment, it is better said that it is one of the few bands that continue doing it. let's hope they don't stop doing it, it is something that I personally appreciate a lot about metallica.

seriously!!! And without taking anything away from the heavy perfection of the guitars. It's so nice to hear Metallica finally using a fully three-dimensional sound approach to frequencies! They really are in many ways at the top of their game as a live band it seems.

Badass, they sound better then ever and Kirk rocking a Jackson makes it even better

[@FreeMTrider]

Back in '85 he started playing those Jackson RR models. I was at the 1985 Sacramento, CA show and James looks over and says, "Where does this guy get all these new guitars?" ....of course back then that was a big deal because all of us played guitar too. And the solos were something we all looks forward to.

[@TheRemulosEpsolonProgramme]

Thats Kirk's Jackson from Justice era onwards. Cool right?

[@Mike_B.]

Metallica carried me through my depression, and my jarring transition into an atheist. They shaped my musical influence, and even though I play Melodic Death Metal/Black Metal, the Metallica influence is still well and strong in my music. I wish I could meet the band so that I could thank them for everything they’ve done for me.

[@debbieathy5204]

Heavy metal will definitely do that for you especially if you are a die hard true lover of metal from way back

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

When they first recruited Rob I was a little skeptical, not to criticize his bass playing abilities, been a S.T. Fan for almost 30 years and a Metallica fan even longer, just didn’t seem like he fit at first but now it seems it was meant to be, I Love Rob and it was really cool seeing his son playing with S.T., he looks just like Rob and talented as well, I know Rob’s proud of him, my first show was Metallica at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta in the early 90’s and Jason killed it, I’d love to see them with Rob now, I hope I get the chance one day.

[@sequoia1171]

Go find a show as soon as you can they are killing it right now, I was at this show and it was one of the best I've seen, and I've seen Metallica four other times over the past almost 4 decades

[@Squall6575]

I saw them in 2017 with rob and when he played Anesthesia, when I tell you his tone permeates your skull and chest, i mean it! Him playing with a big video of cliff in the back was pretty emotional

some says the black album is the beginning of the end of the oldschool metallica. well as for me its good that their song on every album has evolved to something new which is a sign of progress. I like what slayer has done as well but to have evry song with the same sound is a little bit boring at times, so metallica having different genres in their whole career combined can really bring you to another dimension. this only proves metallicas greatness from kill them all to 72 seasons. its been a roller coaster ride listening to u guys.
