(1) Peter Wilsin says:

That’s a pretty small list for Metallica, but then they always seem to get bigger the closer to the time!

August 17, 2008 at 1:04 pm
(2) Steve McHale says:

I think it sucks that Down isn’t staying on tour with these cats the whole time! I live in Boston and feel I am getting porked here. I would’ve loved to see Machine Head back in 1997, but come on they suck balls! I saw Down twice over the last winter and would be unreal to see them on the same bill with Metallica and The Sword

August 17, 2008 at 3:46 pm
(3) Maggi says:

Awesome, I’m hoping that they squeeze in a couple more dates b/c they aren’t close enough to my city for me to go…that really sucks, I have wanted to see Metallica live for some time and it would be awesome if I could see them soon!!!!

September 8, 2008 at 1:04 pm

(14) Logan says:

COME ON!!! No tour dates for Florida? I agree with Steve McHale on the fact that Down with Metallica, and The Sword would be awesome! (I hope Metallica and Down atleast decide to do something SOMEWHERE in Florida)

October 19, 2008 at 7:59 am
(15) Steve O says:

Why don’t they play at my house? I have a tiny basement with a drum kit and amps. It smells like sweat. I got a lot of cool posters and lights. I could go out for ice and beers and invite over a few buddies. They could bill the U.S. government as a part of my bail out plan. “Rock for the needy”.

October 20, 2008 at 9:11 pm
(16) ajax says:

they have got to come to Australia… but it better be after march ‘09 other wise i cant go which would suck bigger balls if they didn’t come to OZ…

(17) pnut166 says:

metallica always adds dates in and adds legs as the tour rolls on. No ATL date yet, but I`m sure they`ll get around here @ some point.

November 2, 2008 at 11:38 am
(18) Jed Bent says:

Hey guys I saw Metallica in concert last night in Portland OR. and it was awsome, not so much if you dont like the opening bands but Metallica sure kicked some ass.

What? Machine Head is NOW what Metallica USED to be! And as far as Down! That’s not even a band. It’s a bunch of pot heads with a KKK wannabe racist as a frontman. Big mistake putting those musically challenged rednecks on the bill at all.
