Metallica played after tonight's NRL

[Pies4shaw]

This is a public service announcement. Those of you who, like me, are still saddened by looking at the credit-card refund email for Metallica tickets from their cancelled Australian tour might like to know that they are apparently performing Enter Sandman by live-stream at 7.30 tonight, before the Broncos/Roosters game.

Far out. The drama in getting the tickets too. Only for it to be canned. Then Kiss did it to me a few months later.

Oh well.

Metallica. Who?

NRL. What?

[Pies4shaw]

Seems like this is being used as click bait - the performance is after the game, in what is a very strained sense of “from 7.30”. Anyway, I suppose it’s one way to try to get people to watch an entire Brisbane Broncos game, given how they’re travelling this year.

Everyone should enjoy the humiliation of the Donkeys, even if it means watching $ydney

Here they go.

Good to hear James in such good voice - he’s obviously recovered. It was a three-hour wait to hear them but they were excellent. Pity they cut to footage of Broncos players knocking the ball on while Kirk was soloing. Anyway, I hope some of you other Metallica fans enjoyed it, too.

Recovered from what? Not COVID?

^ They had to cancel their Australian tour because James Hatfield went into addiction rehab.

I saw them live once, went to a Big Day Out style festival some years back with my daughter. Guessing more than 5 years ago, less than 12.

Yeah, they can rock. still love their version of Ecstasy of the Gold with the San Fran philharmonic orchestra from Metallica S&M. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0_JvuBpDB8
