More power to them. I would much rather see them play out, even if it isn't near me, because they owe me nothing. They are a band. How long it has taken to write the follow-up to "Death Magnetic" is irrelevant - whose schedule are they on?
Theirs.
Sure, I wanted them to tour the US and play in Moline, IL, or even Cedar Rapids, IA, or Des Moines, IA, but they're not. I don't believe whining about it will change their plans. As of this moment, when I'm initially posting this, these are the comments on the article above:
- As usual, playing anywhere but the USA. They know where the true fans (and the $$$$$) are.
- Metallica will play the US when their new album comes out.
- They're playing at Rock In Rio in Las Vegas May 9th.
- As usual, someone complaining about something that isn't true.
- Number of Metallica shows on the USA in 2015 - 1
- Number of Metallica shows anywhere in the world in 2015 - 11 and counting.
- The amount of coin these guys rack in every show is unbelievable. Million dollars per show at minimum. Hence why a new album is not that important
- Yep. So far they're a nostalgia act so there's no need for new material. These guys sell ou any place in the world where there is electricity xD
- Says the band: "One Rock In Rio in a year is just not enough" What the band also says: "Taking 7 years to write new music/album is simply not enough"
- https://www.change.org/p/national-football-league-ask-metallica-to-be-the-musical-act-for-the-halftime-of-super-bowl-50
- vote for metallica super bowl 50. only need 300 more signatures.
- What's the point? To play a song or two? They did the same for that Live Earth thing, no big deal.
- Rock In Las Vegas? Umm...
- So how's that new album coming along?
- "We've got a boatload of riffs" -- and no time to record 'em!
- "By now, we have at least 4000 riffs! And we're gonna take more time to string them all together and produce something that sounds wacky and all over the place. We're currently planning a show on the ISS, then the Moon! We're all about doing things no one's ever done before!"
-End Lars babble - Bottom line: Metallica is not interested in writing new material. All they are interested now is selling out shows to play a watered-down version of enter sandman and master of puppets
- how do they have time for that?? oh wait, that's their job.
- The bigger question is, how do they have time to play gigs but not have any time at all to record new music?
- SunglassicA
- YEEAAAAH, YEAAAAH! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ALIVE, BABAAAAAAAY? SHOW MEEEAAAAAAAA!
- Anywhere but the Studio Tour
