The Korea Times has issued the following report:
Heavy metal fans came out in full force for
METALLICA's concert Tuesday night (August 15), at the Olympic Main Stadium, southern Seoul. Thousands of Korean and foreign fans braved the scorching summer heat for a chance to rock the night away with
METALLICA.
"Did you miss
METALLICA?"
James Hetfield asked the crowd, who responded with a resounding cheer. "It's good to be back," he said.
METALLICA last came to Seoul for a concert in 1998.
To the crowd’s delight,
METALLICA performed their best-known songs such as
"One",
"Nothing Else Matters",
"Enter Sandman",
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" and
"Wherever I May Roam", as well as songs from their eighth album, such as
"St. Anger" and
"Frantic".
Each of the
METALLICA members impressed the fans with their solo performances.
The concert marked the 20th anniversary of the release of their album
"Master of Puppets", which was released in 1986 and catapulted the group to stardom. Their performance of
"Master of Puppets" had everyone bobbing their heads, throwing their fists to the beat, and chanting the chorus "Obey your master".
