DOWN Added To METALLICA's 'European Summer Vacation'
- Apr. 8, 2008
|
|
|
METALLICA has issued the following update:
"Since the second part of our little European summer vacation does not include any festival shows, guess what... we get to pick who we, and you, get to spend the day with. So we're psyched to share with you that our old friends in DOWN and our new friends in THE SWORD, one of our favorite bands of the last few years, have agreed to come along for the ride. Look for 'TALLICA, DOWN, and THE SWORD starting on July 16 in Bergen, Norway through July 25 in Sofia, Bulgaria (except in Bucharest, where it will be just 'TALLICA and THE SWORD)."
METALLICA, DOWN, THE SWORD tour dates:
Jul. 16 - Bergen, Norway - Koengen
Jul. 18 - St. Petersburg, Russia - SKK Hall
Jul. 20 - Riga, Latvia - Skonto Stadium
Jul. 22 - Bologna, Italy - Parco Nord
Jul. 23 - Bucharest, Romania - Cotroceni (no DOWN)
Jul. 25 - Sofia, Bulgaria - Vasil Levski Stadium

Do they call themselves 'Tallica? It does not sound "MIGHTY" like they are...it drives me nuts.
'Gadeth
'Tera
'Reator
'Layer
'Thrax

This is "The Kid's" chance, Phil always said Metallica wouldn't let them open because they would blow them off stage

Very interesting lineup considering the hostilities between Lars and Anselmo. I wonder if we can expect a drunken onstage beatdown, ala Deep Purple and AC/DC?

They've excised the METAL from their name, as is fitting.
This tour line-up does sound promising, though. Maybe they really are trying to get back to thier roots...?

Whatever you think about Metallica's recent work, you have to admit that this is a pretty killer show. Down and The Sword are both great bands, and Metallica still tear it up live.

I'm not too big on the Sword. I was disappointed by their first album. I'm disappointed by their new song, too. Down, though. They tore that shit up in San Fran. This is the Metallica I want to see. Vinnie must be way pissed.

when people use the word "Hella", it's not fucka cool it's stupid as shitta.
They should just call Metallica "Lica" and take the "Metal" out of it all together. After all...thats what the band did.

My buddy said he saw Pantera when they were touring for Far Beyond Driven and he said Phil went into like a 5 minute rant where he tore Metallica apart on stage calling them "sellouts" b/c they cut their hair and b/c of Load/Relod (I heard this was a usual thing at Pantera shows), and now his band is opening up for them.

I'd go to one of these shows if it were free, just to see Down incinerate Metallica. Of course, I'd have to be chained to my chair to make sure I didn't try to leave during Metallica's set.
Metallica = dead since '91.
jdfu!
