And they are about a million times more interesting.

Metallica are one of the best live bands you'll see.

Ahhh, so it's the next time I'll see them they'll be that good. That explains why they weren't that good when I did see them.

When and where did you see them?

I'm not even a massive fan of metal and their performance was only topped by Blur this year.

ummm .... can't actually remember, but I guess it was Reading one time of the thousands of times they've played there.

But if Blur is the benchmark, no wonder.

yeah, i was never a big fan, but i saw them live at reading and they honestly blew me away. one of my best gigs ever. i've heard they're pretty consistent.

havign said that, they are surely better than U2?

[Portland Boy]

I've seen U2 and Stones many many times, but Metallica are in a league above in terms of live performances - absolutely no question.

I'd love to see them at Glastonbury but I don't think Mr. Eavis is brave enough :-)

Seen them at Reading 2008. I didn't like it. They put on a great show, but I don't like their music one bit. So I left.

[scappaflow]

I think we'd be talking Rolling Stones or Paul McCartney.

Certainly they have more longevity and have sold more albums, tickets, singles etc.

But I don't think you could say there is a contemporary band that have formed since U2 formed who are bigger than U2 or have more global / Uk appeal etc.

[dan05delaney]

saw them in newcastle at the beginning of the year... put on an amazing show would really love it if tthey played... maybe it is a risk ME could take as he already has U2 as a superstar headliner

[sifi]

I've seen Metallica three or four times, from a great performance at Monsters of Rock in 1991, up until the first Download where they played the tent.  

They haven't in my mind made a classic album since Masters of Puppets.  Something reflected in most of their set lists, too.

Neil,

You've certainly had a real good stab at redefining the word - Sarcasm today.
