Soundboard audio recordings of several songs from METALLICA's May 14, 2008 benefit concert at the 2,200-seat Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles can be heard below. All proceeds from the show will go to the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, a nonprofit music school for low-income students that was co-founded by RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS bassist Flea. The opening act was SCARS ON BROADWAY, the new group featuring SYSTEM OF A DOWN guitarist Daron Malakian and drummer John Dolmayan. Money raised from the show will go towards programs, operations and scholarships at the school, as well as a summer camp program and funds for a new building. METALLICA's setlist was as follows: 01. Creeping Death 02. Fuel03. For Whom The Bell Tolls 04. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)05. ...And Justice For All06. Sad But True 07. Disposable Heroes08. One09. Master Of Puppets 10. Battery- - - - - 11.

Tickets for the show went on sale last weekend at $200 each, with limited VIP seats available for $500. METALLICA will also play this week in Tucson, Arizona on Friday (May 16) and Irvine, California on Saturday (May 17), both radio festivals. The band is also one of the headliners at Tennessee's Bonnaroo festival in mid-June. As previously reported, MissionMetallica.com launched on Monday (May 12). A montage of clips from the band's history, as well as a shorter collection of footage from its recent studio sessions, were posted at the site, along with short excerpts of at least two new songs. Other bonus content and exclusive offers will be made available at the site, although it's not clear if and what fans will have to pay. The new METALLICA album is due out this September. Its classic 1986 album, "Master of Puppets", is being reissued on heavy-duty vinyl on June 17, the third in the band's series of vinyl reissues.

I will never have the success of Metallica, but have played shows with my band in front of a couple thousand people. What have you done??
Spend your time on the Opeth website. If you hate Metallica... why post? You are just a bunch of talentless, negative, unaccomplished, jealous peasants that will never do anything to better yourself, so all you can do is tear down others. Fuck you.
No band ever has impacted a generation like Metallica. Not the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and not even the well beloved Hendrix.
The internet is a funny place. Everybody with a keyboard thinks their opinion matters. Well, it don't. Find your favorite band, and go support them! Let the Metallica fans support them.
And for God sakes, find a girl and get laid you miserable hater fucks.
Fuck you. Metallica owns every metal band in the world, even in the twilight of their career.
METALLICA!!!!!!!!

I stopped counting the Cliche comments in your post about halfway through.
Oh and as for This:
""No band ever has impacted a generation like Metallica. Not the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and not even the well beloved Hendrix."
Please, for the sake of us all, PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS.
If you believe this statement to be true, then you:
A) Live a VERY Sheltered Life
B) Are 15 years old and were not even alive when Metallica was "Impacting this generation"
C) Are a Grade 'A' Fanboy, Blind to Facts or Reason.
D) All of The Above.
Yes, Metallica has had a massive impact on the music industy over the years...but more so than The Beatles, Stones & Hendrix?
Please...

Justice sounds just FUCKIN' amazing. Good to hear them playing that shit again.
My five cents for the Metallica haters/lovers:
- Bashing Metallica for the sake of bashing Metallica is stupid.
- Crawling up their asses is stupid as well, they're a band consisting of human beings, and they put out great albums and some which are not so great or even pretty much suck.

Ok...your a Slayer fan so I will speak slowly.
Metallica...GOOD.
Slayer...not as GOOD. Me like same riff for 25 years.....GOOD.
Wheel...invented by caveman. It work GOOD. Fire....also GOOD.
Your mom's basement...GOOD.
Your chances of gettin some....not as GOOD.
Metallica defined an entire genre of music. Black Sabbath started it, Metallica perfected it. The other bands I mentioned were great, and ground breaking. But none of the other bands dominated the landscape of their chosen genre, while holding on to some relevance in that genre, fo as long as Metallica. Beatles, broke up...faded. Hendrix...died. Revered as he is, he was a bright star that burnt out before his time. Rolling Stones...well, they had their time, and then they became a commercial commodity.
Metallica, love em or hate em, are still the dominant topic in the metal world. 25 years into their career! I am sorry, those bands were great but Metallica endured. And the mere fact that half the people here dont even like Metallica but still feel the need to post, confirms their relevance.
BTW...I am in my mid thirties. And I do like Seasons In The Abyss. The other albums you can keep.

Dude, Metallica are still the most popular metal band in the world. Whether they are the best, or your favorite.....is up for interpretation. But to say anything to the contrary is ignorant.
Ok, who is the biggest metal band? Dark Tranquility? Opeth? Behemoth?
Metallica has their best years behind them. I am not stupid. But I look to the future and will be curious to see if another band will hold their place in the pantheon of metal gods after 25 years. It's a tremendous feat, to be given respect.

"broke up...faded."
Faded???
Thats a joke right?
What planet do you live on?
The Beatles have a following to this day that out numbers the fan base that Metallica has, or ever will have. Fact.
And to try and tell me that The Beatles didnt "dominate the landscape of their chosen genre" to the scale that Metallica did is Pure Poppycock.
"Rolling Stones...well, they had their time, and then they became a commercial commodity."
Riiiight..... Because Metallica NEVER became a commercial commodity, right?
Oh, and to respond to MORE of your cliche's (do you ever run out of them?)
Yes, I am a Slayer fan, but I like all forms of music. I am the farthest thing from being a fanboy.
No they have not been playing the same riff for 25 years.
Yes, the wheel & Fire were great fucking inventions.
No, I do not live in mommys basement, and yes, I get laid.
Please, as I stated above, Pull your head out of your ass, then, open your eyes. Its a big big world out there, and not everything revolves around your dear dear Metallica.
Its one thing to Love a band, its another to be a fanboy.
You sir, fall in the latter category.

Dude, Metallica are in fact one of my favourite bands. But what I do realize is that they do not belong to metal. Metal isn't just music. For me, it is also a revolt against the modern world. It is something incompatible with aggressive promotion, huge sales and websites like "Jump In The Studio".
Of course, if your criterion of bigness is commercial success, then they are the biggest metal band in the world.
Now, who is the biggest metal band? I do not know. There can be no biggest metal band.
Still, the likes of Satyricon and Darkthrone come to mind.

Dude, ever heard the term "think for yourself"? Stop being a sheep. Im not a Metallica hater. I love them, but even I wouldn't compare them to the Stones, Beatles, or Hendrix. Hell I wouldn't even compare them to Nirvana. They are an amazing heavy rock band, and thats it. Id say you need to stop caring so much, stop clicking refresh on this thread every 10 mins, and just relax a bit... making big statements that you can't back up just stirs them up some more.

IT'S THE FIRST SHOW OF A TOUR!!! First shows hardly ever go off without a hitch for any band. They're human beings not fucking super heroes!
If you don't like em so be it... Do you really think they give a flying shit? They didn't in 96 when they drifted towards a more bluesier Danzig/ Corrosion influenced sound, and they wont care now.
And another thing...
Let's see how great your band is when you're all in your 40's, oh yeah that's right... you wont be in one! So F*ck y'all!!!

"Bob Rock ruined Hetfields voice back in 91"
You sir are a dumbass!!!
The human voice is in a constant state of change and development just as the whole body is in a state of constant change. A human voice will alter as a person gets older moving from immaturity to maturity to a peak period of prime singing (31-34 years old) and then ultimately into a declining period.
Hetfield's voice was in it's peak on the "Wherever I may Roam tour" and 3 years of solid touring and vocal abuse behind the Black album is what destroyed Hetfield's voice... He's never been the same since. So your assertion that Bob Rock destroyed his voice is laughable at best!

I thought it time for someone to stick up for you a little bit. In contrast to every other person who replied, I do get where you're coming from. I bet nobody on this thread knows the only band outnumbering Metallica on album sales is the Beatles (seriously). And the fact that they're still out there doing it (in my opinion with ALL of the credibility they ever had, despite what everybody else here might claim) = nothing short of amazing.

Some of the stuff I have read is just mind boggling. Metallica is not the biggest metal band, but Satyricon is? Please keep off the drugs. I dare anyone to say that they have never liked Metallica. Maybe you don't like them now, but I am sure everyone did at some point. Considering that scenario, they are easily the biggest band out there. What other band can claim that they had an impact on pretty much any metal fan at some point of their lives? Satyricon never had a n impact on me.

You know why nobody on this thread knows this?
Because it is not true.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_music_artists
I realize that it is impossible to tell for sure how many albums have been sold by each band, and these numbers are just an estimate, but c'mon, Metallica has NOT sold more albums than the likes of: Elvis, Michael Jackson, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc..
Where do you get your information?

In response to your little spat with one4havok.
Metallica may not have been influential in music in general, but they sure as fuck started REAL heavy metal. Sabbath and Priest may have led the way with more distortion and more speed than the rest of the guys out there.. but Metallica invented that edgy, thunderous CRUNCH, that is metal guitar today. That, coupled with drums, vocals, and bass that all flow together flawlessly, yet have enough minor differences to make it interesting, have made metal what it is today. Metallica made metal intense and interesting. They made your mouth water for more. NO other band that started at the same time they did(or before them for that matter) can take credit for the kind of metal euphoria Metallica provides.
That said, is anyone else tired of talking about Metallica(negative or positive)? It seems like we get on here every day and fight about whether or not Metallica still deserves another listen. Lets all face it.. they do. Whether you hate them or not, you know you're going to check out the new album just to make sure your ideas about them are still solid.

"Megadeth is better."
Dave Mustaine has wrote some great music in Megadeth but in my opinion (again, MY OPINION for the assholes who can't interpret), the best work Dave Mustaine ever did was with Metallica, I don't think anything he's done in Megadeth was ever as good then the select songs he wrote with Metallica, other than The Mechanix since he wrote that before he was in Metallica.
Which can make an argument that Dave and James, Lars and Cliff all made each other better and maybe neither side was ever as good as they could have been. But again, both bands have some amazing music and no disrespect to Kirk Hammett whatsoever but imagine if James, Lars, Cliff and Dave had continued to create music together, it might have be even more masterful.......or disasterous, who knows? ALL IN MY OPINION.

Haha so you are saying lars removing kick drums is something normal? How many metallica shows have you been to? I been to around 20 and they NEVER have sounded like this garbage posted above. Lars is just removing beats to make the songs easier, something HE HAS NEVER DONE. Then you have james who sounds like he should be doing a duet with either willie nelson or hank williams jr.

The true Metallica fans are the fans who give respect where respect is due. The true fanboys are the guys who gave up after "Metallica died" in 1991. Thats right. You true metalheads, who still worship Devin Townsend for keeping that ridiculous amount of Crypt Keeper hair on his head. Better yet, worship Slayer for their faux satanic image and hot topic brand of "evil". You're no better than the kid in the sideways straight brimmed hat.
As much as I like Megadeth, Mustaine is a cry baby who still wishes he was in Metallica. He knows he will always be the generic alternative. The Flavorite Brand Macaroni to Metallica's Kraft Shells & Cheese. Yes, he's written riffs that Metallica has used. The same can be said for him stealing riffs and concepts from Justice or Puppets.
I truly enjoy music, of all types. This is probably why I can't stand Slayer. They have been on repeat since 1982. Monotone singing with the same guitar scale used on every solo. Some people are a bit too smart to keep buying the same regurgitated riffs and teen angst attitude from guys well into their 40's.
I'll stick with the proven champion.
PS.
You girls shouldn't waste your time posting stuff about a band you "hate". It really contradicts the idea of not caring. Giving attention to something you "hate" means you have a repressed obsession. It's ok! Let it out! Say it with me.... "METALLICA FUCKS YOUR MOM".

HAHAHA... "Don't be a moron, idiot!" Thanks for proving my point!
I'm sure you remember when Metallica died... your mommy was still wiping your nose!
Any old school faithful Metallica listener with any "common sense" will remember the many pics of various Metallica members wearing Danzig shirts back in 88 or 89 and after... Any old school faithful Metallica listener will also know that Hetfield is a friend and huge fan of Pepper Keenan and Corrosion of Conformity. Take that information and make the connection... Given that information it should be obvious that while Load was a departure from the first four records the intention was to take the music in more of a Sabbath/ Corrosion/ Danzig influenced direction. 2x4 is a great example of that! I prefer the first four records over anything in their discography but I also appreciate the fact that they've had the balls to change their sound in drastic ways throughout their 25 year career.
You may call it a sell out, but if anything at the time it was more of a risk. The safe approach would of been to release the same record over and over again rehashing riff after riff like some other bands from that genre. Not bashing on them but Slayer for one...
This shit has been going on since Metallica released "Fade to Black" in 1984 and I remember that... I can pretty much bet that you don't.
All members of Metallica grew up on Aerosmith, Sabbath, Deep Purple, before they discovered the NWOBHM material that influenced their earlier works. If they want to make a move back to "their" roots then it's their creative liberty to do so!
Did Load sell more copies than the Black Album? The answer is no...
So if you call creative musical evolution a sell out... you're a close minded jackass!
p.s.
The only people that use the term "sell out" are immature little street cred craving bitches like you!

There's been some mighty fine scrappin' goin' on in this thread. Yessir, mighty fine.
But I just have to say:
Metallica was big before the Black album. Huge. Every Metal mag in the late eighties/early 90s had them on the cover more often than not.
But the main reason they're so huge TODAY is because of all the girls who like Enter Sandman, Fade to Black, Nothing Else Matters, and Whiskey in the Jar.

This is probably why I can't stand Slayer. They have been on repeat since 1982.
==============================
Virtually every Slayer song since 1988 is memorable and recognizable. If the listener has some ear for music, of course.
But how is Slayer connected to Metallica threads?
What are they to blame for here? haha

haha i was just logging in just to say that lars is afraid to hit the kick drum these days. Lars is a good drummer but no where near excellent. That dumbass is too damn lazy to use the kicks and he tends to add too much extra to the rest of the kit. The rest of the band seems to play what was "written" back then, why the fuck cant lars do the same. Not hatin on Metallica kids, just lars. He seriously needs to get kicked the fuck out of the band. And before all of you newschool metallica fans start bashin on me for this one, remember this...Lars came from a time when thrash began. Look at alot of the other older drummers out there in metal bands. Vinnie Paul, Paul Bostoph, Dave Lombardo, Charlie Benante, Scott Travis, Nicko McBrain, and Tom Hunting just to name few. It is Lars who makes the older fans hate the band. THE DUDE CANT PLAY DRUMS FOR SHIT!!!

Some of the stuff I have read is just mind boggling. Metallica is not the biggest metal band, but Satyricon is? Please keep off the drugs.

Why do you let this shit slip out of your mouth?
I think you have enough brains to understand what i have to say.
I judge by my own criterion, which i desribed.

You call Load a "sell out". But, how could they sell more than the Black Album? Just a thought.

For all those who say James sounds "terrible," you're full of shit...
I'd like to see you guys play his guitar parts (Oh, I forgot... you can't!) and, sing all that shit too...
I've been singing all of my life... quartets (won state w/high school quartet).. been in bands, done weddings, sung everything from karaoke to gigs in front of hundreds... I've sung it all... arias to rock, pop, metal... whatever... I can sing pretty much anything I want.... I never got anything but 1st place in any contest I've been in but, so what? I'm sitting here on my ass and, James & the boys are rocking the world.
BUT, for my money, I'd rather listen to someone like James than someone with a too-pretty-polished, listen to my multiple octave range any day....
I can't wait for the new cd to kick ass... I'll be laughing at the Metalli-bashers as I crank it...

It's a very rare singer who sounds the same in his 40's as he did at 20's... especially when he's toured relentlessly & used his voice day in and day out to the extent James has...
I'm 35 and, I sound like always (knock on wood I keep my shit forever.. LOL) ..but, it's easy to keep my voice intact when I'm mostly singing in the shower... That's one reason I'm glad I never made it "big"... my voice would likely be shot... (that and, I'd probably be found dead....stoned, drunk...bloated from excess & with a harem or dirty women... LOL)

Guitars could still use more crunch but all in all sounding pretty good. All I listened to was Creeping Death, at least James doesn't sound like he's going through puberty on this one :)

The haters' opinion certainly matters enough to you.
You wrote a very long message trying to bash them.
Most of them are disappointed Metallica fans.
Being "suckcessful" means nothing, Madonna is more popular than Metallica and according to your reasoning she must play better music. "Suckcess" only means your music is commerciable enough and that you have a big label behind you pushing it. Nothing more nothing less, it can be good or bad and when it comes to Metallica, the album that sold the most clearly was NOT their best one.
Disappointed fans have got every right to voice their opinions just as much as anybody else. It's called "Freedom of Speech".
And being disappointed doesn't make them worse than you or anybody else.
One of the most vocal opponents of the "post-black album" Metallica was a certain Chuck Schuldiner. A man who's not with us anymore but who left an incredible legacy and when it comes to my vision of success was certainly 100% more successful than Metallica. Not to say incredibly more talented too imo.
Get a grip and stop contradicting yourself.
