Masters make sure to bring quality openers, too

For the first time in over four years, Metallica, the world's most famous and successful thrash metal band, came to Vancouver.

At GM Place on Tuesday, December 2

Four years after their St. Anger tour, Metallica rumbled through Vancouver, BC on December 2 like a thunderous crack of lightning on the band's Death Magnetic tour for an explosive show at a sold out General Motors Place.

The hard rock heavyweights plot a course to yet-to-be-formed nations, polar ice caps, and galaxies far away!

Metallica is the most successful metal band of all time, with or without your endorsement.

For Metallica, who has conquered the world a million times over, the goal for the new US tour is to provide its fans with something they have never experienced before.

By my best estimate, I've seen Metallica about half a dozen times. However, I hadn't seen them in 20 years, so it felt pretty surreal going to Monday's show with my friend Andrew, who hadn't been to Metallica show even once.

Metallica, you are forgiven.
