In Pictures: Metallica at London's 02 Dome

amongst all the hysteria, i really thought i was the only one who has such utter disdain for this band.

have to agree with the above statement.

Rock'n'roll! *click*

Oh, and that 'no t-shirts' at bands gigs is everything that is wrong with music fans these days.

at one point Hetfield said something along the lines of "call your mummy's later, youtube won't make you famous" - so I have read...

Is it just me..?

Hetfield's words were:
"I've just got top say something man... put the fucking cameras away, put your phones away. Let's enjoy the Metal show okay? You can call your mum later alright... a little two second blur of some shitty Metallica on YouTube is not going to make you famous. Enjoy this moment alright."

where they're not pulling hilarious / brilliant "GRRR WE ARE METAL" faces.

They days of everyone with devil horns, leaning over the barrier with beer and god knows what flying everywhere...

People spend too much time looking through their phones to really enjoy it.

Of posting these lyrics yet?

A few could've been left on the cutting room floor but these are amazing photos of the gig for those who couldn't make it. Interesting setlist as well. The thing about this band is they really put the effort in every show, you can see it in their faces in the photos. Unfashionable round some parts..

Good photos, BUT: I think the photographer / photo editor must be in love with Kirk and James - there's ONE photo with Rob in it, and only one where you can see Lars' face.

There are other members of Metallica you know! Jesus!

but it was afterall a big gig at the o2 by a band who could sell tickets for £40+ instead of £5, and who in less than a week got to number one in the album chart above glassvegas, who have far more articles about them. get over it.

with another set backed on to them. these went into the house PA above the center of the arena

as they certainly do now, I still have a place in my heart for them. Everything up to and including the black album is absolute genre-defining genius.

Shame about the rest. Even the new stuff isn't up to much.

you can probably find a clip of him saying that on Youtube

monty panesar was a fan!

fucking music nazis shit me. I like DiS AND I like metal so i invite you miserable gits to gargle my man gravy.

'tallica are terrible, fucking dog shit. terrible lyrics, terrible musically, just terrible in every sense. a bloody awful mtv reality sitcom cliche of a band now.

i'm just surprised that dis have given it so much attention.

you'd all be moaning if dis did a "photo special" of coldplay's london return, or the police,....and these bands have far more merit that metallica pile of cliche'd dog shit.

MY PROBLEM IS NOT THTA THEY ARE POPULAR IT IS THAT THEY ARE A JOKE....AS ARE ALL OF THEIR FANS.

fuck off all of you.

you are all idiots.
