The fans wait expectantly for an encore that never comes but with the next show less than 48 hours away we have not got long to wait for our next Metallica fix.įor night one of a two year tour, it was a resounding success. Things get heated as the pyros flare during ‘Fuel’ and then its up to the real classics to round out the show ‘Seek and Destroy’ and ‘Master of Puppets’. ‘Ride The Lightning’ leads to ‘Battery’ and the pits fire up all around the stage. Three new songs feature tonight including ‘ Lux Æterna ’, ‘Screaming Suicide’ and ‘Sleepwalk My Life Away’, the trio split by classic ‘Fade To Black’.Īfter a handful of post 1990 tunes including ‘Nothing Else Matters’, ‘Sad But True’ and ‘The Day That Never Comes’ we’re into the final furlong and the band are on fire. From here ‘Holier Than Thou’ concludes the opening salvo and a magnificent one it is too.Īs James addresses the crowd, noting that is it ‘Kings Day’ here in Amsterdam, it only seems fitting that ‘King Nothing’ should be next.įrom here it’s into the newer segment of the set. ![]() After the eight minute instrumental ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ follows, with its atmosphere building two minute intro the band have been on stage a full ten minutes before James Hetfield’s rasping voice rings out. There is electricity in the air, Metallica are about to step onto the stage once more!Īs the atmosphere builds and smoke billows across the eight huge digital screens the opening notes of ‘Orion’ play out, a song no one expected the band to open with, but it works wonderfully. As Ennio Morricone's ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’ starts to play the hairs stand on the back of every single persons neck. With the formalities out of the way, there is only one band we are all really here to see tonight, the Metallica machine is a well-oiled behemoth and 60,000+ fans wait in anticipation as the hint of sunlight dies behind the clouds, growing ever darker above the stadium. Many bands have done this format, but none have pulled it off to extent and success that Metallica have. ![]() Once again, for the stadium shows at least, Metallica return to “the round” giving a full 360 degree view on the band at the centre circle of the stadium. So five months after that tour announcement The Razor’s Edge team find themselves in Amsterdam for the opening night of the tour at the Johan Cruijff Arena, the stadium home to the once mighty Ajax. Different opening bands each evening and the promise of two different sets across those dates. The unique aspect of the tour… each city would host two shows across two nights. Last November they announced a two year tour that would take in 23 cities (24 if you include Download Festival which was announced ahead of time and didn’t appear on the tour poster). Whilst they may have their naysayers, or fans stuck in 1986 who refuse to accept a band can develop their sound beyond their first three albums, for the rest of us Metallica can do little wrong. Metallica are the biggest metal band in the world right now, and the release of ’ 72 Seasons’ last week just cemented their position.
