The commercial success of this album saw Metallica turned into superstars and living legends. Every single one of their subsequent five albums has hit the number one spot in the US and has been certified platinum. A most memorable night as the boys set out to open the new Royal Arena with a bang.

And that they did! From the opening of Hardwired it was clear they were here and they meant business! The most in-your-face opening of a Metallica gig I have ever witnessed. While there were a few noticeable "hiccups" in James' voice it was, to my ears, nothing major. But evidently it prooved to be just that. James told us he and a few of the others weren't feeling well and about 30 minutes into the show he had a talk with Lars, center-stage, and at this point most of us looked at each-other and thought, "Uh-oh.

Something's up. They're gonna cancel James adressed the crowd, saying the band weren't sounding good and that he hated giving us a bad show. He wanted to stop. He asked the crowd outright, if we wanted a make-up show later with Metallica in full force or if they should continue at half mast. The crowd roared a reassuring and supportive "No! We are here for you.

We want you to battle on. We can do this together. They reorganized, changed the set-list and came out again and this time it seemed there was more energy in their performance.

They were out to proove that they could do this, illness be damned! And as James asked for the crowds help in singing the lyrics, it didn't feel like all the other times he had done so.

This was special. For once, you actually felt as if you were helping James, helping the band, through this ordeal.

And it felt mighty good. But in that moment I felt it. The kinship. The coming together. And that was a mighty thing. A mighty good thing. The band soldiered on, ripping into a mighty version of Fade to Black, that hit home a bit more than it used to. Yes, there was an incident with Kirk during the intro, first missing his cue and then playing false notes, but not one of the critics questioned why.

Just prior to Fade Kirk had done a solo thrasing his guitar around.

For Fade he was then given another guitar, but the receiver on it cut out leaving him muted. They quickly gave him another guitar, the same he'd used for the solo, which was not tuned to Fade thus producing false notes. He finished the intro and they quickly changed guitars again, this time with a working receiver and in-tune. So they battled on raising the roof with a feroscious rendition of Seek and Destroy and the most pummeling version of Battery I've ever heard. Absolutely blistering. It was a truly memorable concert both performance and set-wise.

Oh, and they even included Harvester of Sorrow which was a very nice surprise for me. The stage was beautiful with a built-in screen. And a screen in the ceiling as well. Epic and beautiful.

A memorable night I won't forget as long as I live. As a fan, they did me proud with this one. I just hope James recovers and regains his strenght once again. Read more. Report as inappropriate. The impatient wait had been going on for months - I booked this show when tickets went on sale back in March or whenever it was, and October had take so long to come around - but finally it was here: Metallica day! The day started with a trip to the pop-up merch store in London, then onto the O2 for an agonising queue good thing it's what us Brits do best, apart from moan about it of course before finally getting in and finding my seat - which, by pure luck, was a superb view.

Again, what felt like days, but in reality was only mins wait, the lights dimmed, the background music shut off, and the familiar notes of the intro track, "The Ecstasy of Gold", complete with video footage from "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly", began to ring out, to rapturous roaring and whistling from the 20, strong crowd.

The hairs on my arms are standing on end just recounting it for this review. And then we were in: full-bore, mph, Metallica took to the stage and belted out song after song after song with barely a moment to catch your breath before the next does of thrash metal came your way. Oh my friend, trust me when I say thrash metal - we had some of the best early work represented tonight, not least with half a dozen track from the new album "Hardwired Of course, it wasn't the end - back for the encore the intro to "Damage Inc" came on, before they ripped all the way through it, eventually slowing the pace to play the ever-loved "Nothing Else Matters" and finally ending on probably their most well known song "Enter Sandman".

It was a great varied selection of tunes that spans most of their career - the only notable exceptions being there was nothing from "Load", "St Anger" or the previous record "Death Magnetic". But otherwise all the other studio albums were represented. Some guitar and bass doodles from Kirk and Rob, before Rob gave us a wonderful tribute to Cliff by playing "Anesthesia". If you get the chance to go, then go see this show - it's truly magnificent, from a band with 36 years experience in being the biggest metal band on the planet, and it shows you just why they are.

I just wish I had a ticket for tomorrow night too. We went to a concert in Toronto to see; Volbeat, Avenged Sevenfold, and the show I have been waiting my life to see; Metallica. They all sported the Blue Jays jersey with their names at some point and thanking them for the gifts. Volbeat and avenged Sevenfold were great acts my first seeing all. My 16yr old is really into Avenged Sevenfold and was not disapointed. Volbeat i have heard in passing once and will do my best to spread the word about them. Glad i made it there in time to catch Volbeat if you ever have a chance make sure you catch them!

Avenged Sevenfold was everything my 16 year old had told me. Those who missed them may be may be able to catch them soon as they alluded to coming back. They make me glad that metal is carring on to the younger generation these days. First of all their pyrotechniques were amazing boasting two small hot air ballons above them.

The stage was set up so everyone had a good view and sported large screens for those further back to follow the rifts as well. At one point they were all on drums together each sporting their own. James Hetfield after noticing a young 8 yr old in the audience made reference to the" Metallica family, young, 'medium' and old. My 16 year old was excited to see Metallica and who influenced not only her Mom and friends but the music yet to come out. The screens showed videos like clips from "the unforgiven" to lead up the one of the many big hit songs.

The encore was what i was waiting for What a great venue; no big line up for anything but marchandise. Thanks to all who made the show work Overall it was great. A blast of a concert!
