The Sao Paulo show goes on sale on December 14 and Lisbon on December 12. Check below for all the details and Met Club members should check here for information about special pre-sales."

they've been touring non-stop since august last year and their going through june? damn. when they come back to ohio i'll be waiting.

[Elzo334]

As long as they come back to the UK(NOT just Belfast), then I'll be happy!

[dakotakoerner]

just kinda wish they'd give up. ><
they're in the hall of fame. hooray. please be done

[TheEsupremacy]

Maybe some American and Canadian dates will come later. Follow up to Death Magnetic please. Don't wait until the last minute and spend 5 years in the studio. That's weak. Get one up on a new cd. Pummel us James. I know you guys can do it.

[GunsN'Roses_FAN]

awesome

[Jmoarguitar]

come to moncton new brunswick! your best friends megadeth will be here february hehe

[HammerJustice]

why the hell would they stop?! They still put on one of the best shows ever and are attracting more and more fans with each record they bring out, and i expect there will be a new album in the next 2-3 years which will result in even more touring and even at their age, they dont seem to be tiring, so if your hoping that the beast is going to call it a day any time soon, think again bitch

ok why the hell would they give up. They still undoubtably put on one of the best live shows in the world and gain more and more fans with every record they put out. I expect they will put out a new album in the next 2-3 years, possibly sooner, they havnt ruled it out, and this will result in even more tour dates acroos the world. So if your hoping the beast will call it a day anytime soon you better think again.

[HammerJustice]

oh yea, i respectfully disagree too :P

[HammerJustice]

thought my comment got deleted sorry

[FKK]

oh come on they are circeling around denmark. i really ****ing hope they'll do a show or two in denmark...

[Leo13]

i heard they were going to go through Wadi Rum for a concert... anyone know if this is true???

[VengeancePuppy]

Does UG announce the tour dates of every band? Obviously not, so why announce the tour dates of a huge band that everyone would already know about?

I thought the same thing when I saw the headline. Like "Ugh, why won't you guys just die"

Although, I've never seen Metallica live, so perhaps their is some good in their performances. Guess I'll have to see the old men in person to understand the hype.

[MetalBucket]

Thanks for coming to Venezuela metallica!! YEYYY

Seems UG doesn't have much news today. I knew this news from this morning. Just check metallica.com

It just shows you that they're in it for the music really doesn't it? With this MONSTER of a tour. How many Younger acts do that?

Exactly. So hush your mouth. You haven't even seen them. So please, shut up.

[justicemaster26]

To Scotland, they should come.

[Krieger91]

true, didn't think about that. i'm just still bitter cause of how much of a drastic change they're albums have taken. i'll admit, the new album was alot better than some of the previous ones...

I've seen them live. Whether or not you have seen them doesn't change the fact that they need to die. Though, I don't look forward to their death nearly as much as I look forward to the death of even worse bands like AC/DC, Aerosmith, Beastie Boys, etc.

To be completely honest, live performances are truely the downfall of creativity. Being a great musician is one thing, but why shouldn't those with the creative ambition and aspirations to make great music be limited by their instrument prowess? It is for this reason I rely on studio material and not live performances to judge bands.

Regardless, Metallica was a good band, they aren't anymore. Not to mention if Metallica weren't around maybe younger bands would get the opportunity to tour the world. Idiot

I see no reason how your "live" elitism makes you a purer music fan than me. I own every Metallica album and a few of the demo's, so I'm pretty sure I know what they sound like.

Anyways, arguing with Metallica fans is no fun. It's like murdering a shell shocked soldier of the losers army.

[HammerJustice]

I look forward to the death of even worse bands like AC/DC, Aerosmith

totally agree with these 2 bands needing to die as well as the rolling stones, and the beatles are already partially ticked off.

[repairshop]

PLEASE COME TO COLUMBUS, OHIO!!!!!

[BassFishin]

Eh, maybe if they hit the midwest someone. Chicago would be nice. Otherwise....

....kind of a slow news day, no?

[TheCyanideFire]

nooooo
make another date for monterrey not for sao paulo
damn tickets got over FAST

[blackborrego]

more venues in Mexico that's awesome, they are coming to monterrey in 2010 and I have my tickets already, the show was sold out after 2 days and the stadium where they are playing holds a capacity of 41,000 ! that will be awesome

[ScalyGuitarrist]

The Puerto Rico show got sold out in 75 hours...I got left out...

[Mr7K]

When they come to the UK (not BELFAST) i'll be waiting

live performances open a new realm of creativity, just look at buckethead who changes his songs a little everytime he plays them to make them better.. why be restricted by whatever you had by the time your record came out and its a great way to interact with fans

and idk how you got your head that far up your own ass but if it wasnt for metallica touring nonstop then all the younger bands that they take with them wouldnt get the chance to tour the world so use some logic before you jump on the anti-metallica bandwagon

[bassman434]

come to the UK please!

Earls Court, Twickenham, Wembley, O2

any of those will be good

[MetFan10]

Load and Reload just don't get the credit they deserve. People are too focused on stapling a genre to the band instead of appreciating the music. It's like saying if it's not metal, then it just sucks which is a very poor way to interpret music. The singles they put out in the 90s were very good when compared to the other hard rock songs that dropped during that time.

I just saw them in boise it was ****ing amazing! Personally when it comes to judging a band you can't just look at what they produce in the studio you have to look at their concert performances too. I was a massive anti Marilyn Manson person but once I went and saw him I was hooked.

According to my buddies, roadies for Metallica, there will be another live DVD coming out soon...live from France.

Youve got to be kidding, You'd like to see the end of Metallica, ac/dc and Aerosmith. wtf?? Three bands that are icons and still deliver the goods. .

Unlike a lot of what is wheeled out as music, when it is really plastic throwaway crap!!

I wonder if they've completely forgotten about the existence of Australia. They were supposed to come down last time but Lars (because naturally he's the only one capable of speaking for the band, or so every 'Metallica' interview/statement makes apparent) claimed it would cost the fans too much, in reality it was actually the best time. I wonder what reason there'll be this time...

If Metallica dont come to Australia soon, I might just pay the tickets to go see them in England in the next few years. It just seems the way to go. It isn't the money that is a problem for me, and I'd pay the money to go and see my favourite band live.

I've seen Metallica before, and I thought that without a doubt they were one of the top 5 worst bands I've seen to date. The drumming was terrible and off time in places, James' voice is completely shot, and it just seemed as though they were forcing tunes like "Dyers Eve".

[Fireballz 1077]

Ah Damn!!! None of the tour dates are in Iowa! (or America for that matter.)

[roflwaffle07]

For the 2 people on this board who have no idea what theyre talking about. Metallica will never die. Theyre bigger than ever STILL and it's not slowing down. No other band can say that. It's so obvious but there will always be a few dumb****s wihtout a clue.

11th May Belfast, cannot wait

[jerm138]

I think that dogging Metallica (especially Kirk) is a way for jackasses to feel like they have some street cred around here... to pretend that they're so in-tune with music that they can "see past the hype." It's the same as jackass movie reviewers who rip apart really good films, just to look like they're too smart to be blinded by hype.

Total bull. Anyone who listens to Kirk play, or has seen Metallica live and says they "need to die" is so full of crap that it's begun to spill out of their mouths.

I've seen them twice: During the first Load tour, and just a couple months ago in Atlanta. For the most recent show, I WILL concede that James' voice was pretty shot, but it's probably from belting out those songs every night and playing every show like it's their last. I really felt like they gave it 110% the entire show, and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to (and I've been to a lot.)

Sorry for feeding the trolls, but there is really a lot of Kirk-bashing on this website from people who probably couldn't even get through a single one of his solos in its entirety.

[jerm138]

... and to the Aussie brothers...
I really hope you guys get to see them again. This tour is quite amazing.

They normally play Belfast one day, and Dublin the other. Sounds like a typo to me.

But I've seen them loads of times, I'm not gonna go crazy if it's true.

So to you, apparently these bands are perfect... all right, Aerosmith is bland. Steve Tyler's vocals are horrible, same with Brian Johnson of AC/DC. They just grunt words into a mic. AC/DC's songs are made up the same power chords in every song, but arranged differently. Metallica hasn't been decent since the 80's. In the 90's they did trucker rock, in the early 2000's they did terrible pseudo-metal garbage, now they're pathetically trying to rehash their classic material. They're old. Lars and Kirk are balding. James is losing his voice. It's time to hang up the instruments.

As for you Kirk worshippers... don't make me laugh. All his solos sound similar... WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH! *yawn* And he doesn't even write his own solos... James writes them. I like James and Rob. They should kick Kirk and Lars out. Get a lead guitarist who knows what he's doing, and get a drummer who isn't lazy.

I reckon dude. If bands such as Dream Theater, Children of Bodom and Sonata Arctica, who havent got the biggest following in Aus can get here why the hell cant Metallica? I hate that everytime they post new dates Australia doesnt feature, sure they are not wat they once were but they are a band i wanna see live before i die or they do regardless and it looks as if there are others who feel the same.

In the 90's they did trucker rock, in the early 2000's they did terrible pseudo-metal garbage, now they're pathetically trying to rehash their classic material. They're old. Lars and Kirk are balding. James is losing his voice. It's time to hang up the instruments.

As for you Kirk worshippers... don't make me laugh. All his solos sound similar... WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH! *yawn* And he doesn't even write his own solos... James writes them. I like James and Rob. They should kick Kirk and Lars out. Get a lead guitarist who knows what he's doing, and get a drummer who isn't lazy.

nincompoop: Sorry buddy...but its you who should stop....posting ignorant crap. James writes Kirk's solos??? Where the fk did you come up with that?

James writes

['TallicaRules]

sorry couldnt complete.... You said James writes Kirk's solos. Really? Where the fk did you get that from?

[nincompoop]

'TallicaRules wrote:

Yeah, sorry. I meant to say Kirk doesn't write any of his own music. He does do his own solos, but they're repetitive, like I said. Just wah-whoring.

Posting ignorant crap? How am I wrong? Tell me what part of my post is actually wrong.

[Metallicaftw135]

Just like they said at the us bank areana concert in cinch. "we are metallica and we will never stop!" I hope they stick to their word. I'd love to see them again

if you insult someone by calling them emo you are jumping on the band wagon of elitist metalheads who are justifying their listening of shitty music by citing a form of shittier music.
also, if you insult someone by saying they are a member of the taliban you are a pro war xenophobe who thinks hearing a story on a news station gives them an extensive understanding of current events
both of which are ignorant

if you like metallica you are a 12 year old boy who thinks they know what thrash metal is.
like them now b!tch

[5MinutesAlone]

Ever since Rob joined the band he seems to have brought some new kind of energy to them. And every time they go on tour they seem to feed on the crowd's support and keep getting stronger. Metallica is like an ever hungry beast right now. Let's hope they keep it going for still a long long time

ur just gay.

[yasman88]

and no i dont mean to hate on gay people. i just grew up using that as an insult.

[SpiritThief]

I just hope they don't turn into Korn. They are already half way their.

Last record wasn't that great, make worst by the fact there kids in their parents basement that sound better *quality wise* compared to them.

Honsetly they are more like Slayer right now. They need to stop and just move on. Slayer won't change their style, which is why they are becoming boring and nothing special at all anymore.

Metallica is one more record from becoming a total borefest for me.

Im sure your justification of waging war in the middle east is extremly well researched and im sure you have a great understanding of the events in which are taking place there, this is most predominantly illustrated by your labeling people in which do not have a taste for metallica a member of the taliban

i happen to like many bands which are part of the main stream, just as long as they sustain musical integrity unlike metallica.

you are the reason governments need to set a minimum IQ requirement for their voters

haha and your assumptions are why the USA is harboring a crumbling economy at this point in time. cuz they assumed shit would NOT hit the fan. any way..KID i am a post grad student studying law..and u work at KFC.

so pls leave the political view points alone before you embarrass yourself.

[SOUPerman432321]

I was not aware that I was an economic advisor to the president. You know nothing of my economic views.

Also I have yet to meet a Post Grad student that has grammar as discrediting as you. I weep for your future clients.

[yasman88]

my grammar is quite discrediting..i agree its just that i have to dumb myself down to ppl who have their heads stuck up their ass and feel that everything they say is right.

musical integrity? have u heard metallica? because its obvious to me that u heard somewhere that metallica 'sold out' and established your opinion at that time without listening it for yourself.

if your judging it by listening to their 90's stuff.. load was incredibly intriguing to listen to (not so much reload) because no one knew that they had it in them.

you cannot, under any circumstance, say that metallica dont have musical integrity just because they get paid a shit load of money for watever they put out. u cant even say that about britney spears. she obviously targets a specific audience and has earned success. whatever i hate her..im pretty sure u hate her. but whatever she does is good for the ppl that listen to her hence no musical integrity is lost.

its your ignorance that makes you sound stupid even when you try to sound smart. capitalizing letters and using big words doesnt make you sound like you know what you're talking about.

it was great talking to you. i wish you a happy life.

[SOUPerman432321]

Metal in general is not a form of music in which consistently harbors musical integrity

I do not care whether they are commercially successful or not.

'Selling Out' is what many bands do because the music industry is a business. Whether Metallica sold out or not is debatable, and also none of my concern because I am too preoccupied with how terrible their music is.

Your point about Britney Spears is also invalid, this just illustrates that she is excellent in business, this does not mean she has artistic merit.

Dream Theater is a commercially successful metal band that I feel harbors musical integrity although I am not a huge fan.

And using correct grammatical rules and capitalization do a hell of alot more in maintaining credibility than disregarding them

[SOUPerman432321]

I wish you the same yasman88

when did james write any of kirks solos? im pretty sure the only solos james writes are the ones he plays which are only a few. if james writes all the solos then why did the solos on kill em all get changed when dave left the band and kirk joined?

Why ;eave comments on an article for a band that you obviously hate?

Because I can. Also, I'm not a troll. I don't hold the opinion that society says is acceptable, so I'm a troll? That's sad. I remember a time when individuality is encouraged. Now people like you have been turned into sheep who just go along with whatever TV tells them.

You know what ! you have the freedom to express your opinion but, you lose credibility straight away when you state that someone is balding!! That just sets you up as an image poser, and someone who if you cared and were passionate about music, would be positive about what you liked about music, and not a killjoy about what you don't like and what obviously a lot of others do enjoy! I hope this works for you, because while your hating , the rest of us are enjoying our favourite bands, and enjoying life.

[Restlesscow]

I saw em live earlier this year, and without doubt one of the best live acts i've seen. Yeah, so the drumming wasn't perfect and James struggled with the vocals at times, but so what? Their attitude and enthusiasm towards playing and the crowd just made the show sooooo good!!
If you don't like em, then fine, but don't sit there and say their crap.
Oh yeah, and whats with the balding comment!? you only like musicians with full a full head of hair..? Man I feel sorry for you.

I thought the same thing when I saw the headline. Like "Ugh, why won't you guys just die"

Although, I've never seen Metallica live, so perhaps their is some good in their performances. Guess I'll have to see the old men in person to understand the hype.

It just shows you that they're in it for the music really doesn't it? With this MONSTER of a tour. How many Younger acts do that?

Exactly. So hush your mouth. You haven't even seen them. So please, shut up.

how many younger acts have the money to do that? yeah hbu shut up

my god, everybody hates each other hahaha I reckon all these cynics and haters and even the lovers need to take a step back and understand that music and bands are about personal taste and opinion. You can say Metallica and ACDC ect ect, suck... but why express to people who plain and clear don't wanna hear it? I love Metallica and ACDC, as well as a bunch of other bands, your not gonna change my mind or anyone elses who loves them, so don't try, then bitch cos we all have a go at you, grow a dick, some balls, a brain and go find music you like and don't bother us with your bashings. METALLICA IN AUSTRALIA!!
