Lars literally said the exact opposite.

Dunno if that guarantees an Outside Lands appearance, but that would be a helluva surprise.

Oh dang. I guess I misinterpreted. I thought I read something from Kirk or James that said something along the lines of what I said.

Lars, however, plays the media, so take it with a grain of salt. Things like this -- they don't happen until they do.

Yeah, I'm not putting a ton of stock in the likelihood of them doing it again, but it seemed like, aside from the mic problems, they enjoyed working together.

We had a 40-minute lightning delay last night, which lead to some interesting experiences on the concourse... anyhow, when they came back they played up into the first verse of Ride the Lightning, sounded great. Overall a great show, loved Fight Fire With Fire, they dropped Halo and NEM, but we had a great time. The kid said it was "the best day of his life". People were giving him high fives and fist bumps, made sure to protect him from some nonsense, good people, great night

glad to hear. easily the best GA experience I've ever had. fans wanted to get down, thrash, move around...BUT were always respectful of others, and always quite encouraging to kids. i can't wait to check out he GA metallica scene when I see them in germany next spring

Mid set Hit the lights is fucking cool

I ask again. When is Metallica going to stop being pretentious and put out a greatest hits comp?

They're more focused on doing killer records right now. The latest album is a good example.

This.

Also... aren't 'greatest hits' records kind of outdated at this point? I mean, you can purchase single songs and make your own.

it was bad ass. There was a video of Cliff just before it while Rob played a solo of Anesthesia - Pulling Teeth

Lol, Greatest Hit album? Hit up iTunes and you can have one in 30 seconds. Are Greatest Hits albums even a thing anymore? I'd rather they release more material like Hardwired to Self Destruct.

as an old dude, it certainly hit me with the nostalgic feels

I agree, especially since it was unexpected.

Going to the show at Soldier Field this Sunday. Will be my first time seeing Metallica and second seeing AX7. I've never been much of a Metallica fan but they're one of those bands I feel I just have to see (plus we have very close seats - hard to say no). Good times will be had.

That's pretty cool. Also funny to see Kirk sprinting off stage as it begins.

[coldengrey12]

Oh, shit. Robert is Metallica's longest-serving bassist now. That's fucking weird to think about.

[jmkratt]

So a little rabbit trail on the topic...I just bought a ticket to meet and watch Apocalyptica play their Apocalyptica Plays Metallica on Four Cellos 20th Anniversary tour, fairly pumped.

Finnish cello Metallica cover metal ftw

Whoa, no shit!? I guess that makes sense...only 2 albums, smh

[coldengrey12]

Yeah, that's definitely in terms of years, not albums.

Jason appears on the most albums.

[jmkratt]

Yeah I know, I just wish we had more material is that I was getting at.

[coldengrey12]

Bob Rock plays bass on just one fewer album than Rob
