September 28, 20196 yr Author James back in rehab, unfortunately.***A Note from Lars, Kirk, and RobWe are truly sorry to inform our fans and friends that we must postpone our upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand.As most of you probably know, our brother James has been struggling with addiction on and off for many years. He has now, unfortunately, had to re-enter a treatment program to work on his recovery again. We fully intend to make our way to your part of the world as soon as health and schedule permit. We’ll let you know as soon as we can. Once again, we are devastated that we have inconvenienced so many of you, especially our most loyal fans who travel great distances to experience our shows. We appreciate your understanding and support for James and, as always, thank you for being a part of our Metallica family.
September 28, 20196 yr Author Burton tribute at S&M2 showhttps://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/san-francisco-symphony-bassist-on-show-stopping-tribute-to-metallicas-cliff-burton-891589/
September 28, 20196 yr Darkness imprisoning meAll that I seeAbsolute horrorI cannot liveI cannot die Trapped in myselfBody my holding cellLandmine has taken my sight
September 28, 20196 yr Gotta be painkillers right?Maybe he is in pain due to 3/4’s of his career being garbage?
September 28, 20196 yr Chronic back pain from the wallet being too heavy. The boy showed me this video the other day, had me laughing my ass off.
September 28, 20196 yr I think James is a straight booze guy like myself. I think he'll get sober for keeps eventually. He was doing really fucking well for at least a year or two if I remember correctly.
September 29, 20196 yr My impression from watching their documentary was that they were chronically immature, all of them. Which would tend to explain why Hetfield has to do rehab. He's too old for that shit. Seriously.

October 10, 20196 yr Just got home from the S&M2 show. My wife (a cellist) and I took our budding metalhead for his first movie (sort of) and his first concert (sort of). Had a blast. Not quite the order of songs that I would select myself (I'm not crazy about the Black Album, but in this context they were a lot more entertaining), but it was really well done. I think most showings were tonight (at least in the Chicago area) but I believe that there will still be a few more. Check the site for a theater near you and go. You won't regret it. https://www.metallica.film/ *the rabbit is for a preschool project - each kid gets custody of the rabbit for a few days and chronicles its adventures in pictures and writeups in an album. Shit like going to the pumpkin patch, playing with other stuffed animals, going to church, birthday parties, etc. is the norm. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't a little proud of the fact that my boy ended up taking Bunbun to a Metallica show. Edited August 8, 20241 yr by Prepuce of Doom
October 10, 20196 yr Damn I thought those days were behind James for good. Hope he gets the help he needs.

Without the least bit of irony or sarcasm, this may be the greatest thing I’ve ever heard. The guitar solos were particularly amazing. The level of satirical brilliance and outstanding musicianship needed to make something like this is astounding.
October 11, 20196 yr It shows you that tunes can be easily tweaked to whatever musical genre you want.
October 28, 20196 yr S&M2 is back in theaters this Wednesday night. Click to find your nearest location: https://www.metallica.film/
May 2, 20205 yr I just wondered into this thread and I thought I would add. That basically the fucker fell off of the wagon around the same time Metallica’s bourbon offering hit the stores. You know the one that they claim they used their music during the entire aging period. I haven’t tasted the spirit, but I hope they used their older material.

October 29, 20205 yr S&M2 will air on most PBS channels this evening. Check your local listings for exact times, and set your DVR if you're so inclined.
October 30, 20205 yr Lots of PBS begging interspersed so far, unfortunately, and the show has been all edited to shit - they were on the fifth song of the show (Memory Remains) before the first round of begging, and resumed with the fourteenth (All Within My Hands). Pretty disappointing, really. Edit-this PBS guy is such a jackoff that I'm now embarrassed to have publicized this at all. Edited October 30, 20205 yr by Prepuce of Doom

But I'm currently streaming it uninterrupted from my local affiliate's website, so advantage me?
November 14, 20205 yr Anyone else watching the acoustic concert right now? Pretty interesting so far.

November 28, 20223 yr Author New song released, album and tour announcedhttps://metallica.lnk.to/LuxAeterna?fbclid=IwAR3MCq1vJmCr531dUIqh2dejrxHQWAChtqHfbDH2SlC3ePrvo0wgN7d2zCM
November 28, 20223 yr Lars announced it on Stern this morning. The idea of doing 2 shows in each city with no repeats and different openers is pretty cool. I'm sure tix will be pricey.
November 28, 20223 yr I knew when I clicked on the YouTube link that I would very likely not be into it. But I did it anyways. Not the worst thing I have heard but it is just boring. Good to see Lars is still not recording his drum tracks live in the studio.
