Metallica took to the stage amidst resounding cheers last night (Wednesday, May 14) at Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles. Below, fan filmed footage of the sold out 2,200 seat venue. The clips gives us a good look at this much smaller, exclusive performance.
I know what you're thinking (it's what most people think) 'come on Sturg, Metllica should have broken up 10-15-20 years ago, this post is lame.'
OK SURE. You might have a point.
But! I think when it's all said and done, Metallica is going to go down in history in a special place where the Dead and The Ramones. I find it impressive their command of the stage, and energy after all these years.

Maybe they should've broken up years ago(& surprised they didn't after the probs seen in the awesome doc about them) but they are a metal institution & they know it & still are pretty humble in spite of it all. I really like the bass player even though he's a relative newbie, he's such a cool guy.
I'm not big into metal & don't even own any Metallica albums but do enjoy hearing their music from time to time & their doc was really fascinating. Besides, they're SF natives!

METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!
My Trusted MOGs
Oh, OUCH! I don't even think so Pimp, lol!
My Trusted MOGs
i'll be happy when they get back to the kind of metal that made them so great in the first place, i.e. pre-Justice For All. Word is that their next album will be old school HEAVY!

Poor quality, but it's from 1983 back right after the Metal Up Your Ass demo came out.
My Trusted MOGs
no metallica wanted to name their major label debut metal up your ass the heads balked then they submitted "kill em all" this artwork:

I guess if it's laid out on the table like that: Metal up your ass or hammer smashed faces that smashing faces is less offensive. Guess it makes sense.

Guess it makes sense is Bizarro 'moral majority censorship "must protect the children" land.'

A rare moment of constraint by the Pimp.
My Trusted MOGs
it is VERY rare indeed.
My Trusted MOGs
Quite rare, are you feeling ok Pimp? haha. That's interesting about the "Kill Em All" album & original title. Thanks for 'splainin' it.
My Trusted MOGs
Wow, that's a pretty badass setlist! Always wondered what they play these days live. Thanks for posting.
My Trusted MOGs
The Vids don't work any more. Guess Lars wasn't getting paid.
My Trusted MOGs
Great set list! You know if they broke up they would have a million re-unions anyway. Thanks for the post, glad their still around....
BTW I heard Rob covered for Flea in the RHCP back in the 90's when he broke his arm. Heard that Rob played their songs better than Flea, if you can believe that...
My Trusted MOGs
how the hell? The PIMP holding his tongue!
After all the stuff I hated about metallica's newest stuff (mainly take a load and reload it) -> THAT IS A FECKIN GREAT SETLIST -> All old school stuff that put them on the map -> wish I coulda been one of the 2,200 -> lucky bastards.
