According to a post on legendary rock photographer
Ross Halfin's official web site,
METALLICA's three headlining concerts in Mexico City, Mexico — which are scheduled for June 4, June 6 and June 7 at Foro Sol — will be filmed for a forthcoming DVD.
Halfin will attend the shows in order to shoot the DVD cover. Support at the gigs will come from
AVENGED SEVENFOLD and the Mexican band
RESORTE.
It was previously announced that
METALLICA would take part in a DVD shoot of the band's current
"Death Magnetic" tour in July in the south of France. The show that was originally supposed to be filmed was the July 7, 2009 concert in Nimes, France at Arènes de Nîmes, which is part of the sold-out
Festival de Nimes.
METALLICA's video for the song
"Broken, Beat And Scarred" can be viewed below. The performance clip was shot by
METALLICA's longtime friend and collaborator, famed video director
Wayne Isham, on December 13, 2008 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California and December 12, 2008 at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.
Commented the band: "We're having so much fun out on the road that we thought, hey, why not film it? So we invited our good friend
Wayne Isham and his crew to join us for a few shows in California in December of 2008 . . . We go way back with
Wayne (several vids from the 'Black' album up through
'Frantic' and the
'Cunning Stunts' DVD) and as always,
Wayne rocked it!"
