METALLICA IN CONCERT:

Metal heads everywhere know nothing compares to the hardcore intensity of seeing Metallica tear through monumental epics like “Enter Sandman”, “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, and “Master of Puppets” in concert. Headbanging ticket buyers rock hard to countless classics as frontman James Hetfield growls through the band's thunderous throwdowns and brutal ballads. Kirk Hammett’s sick guitar shredding and Lars Ulrich’s furious drum fills complete the sonic assault, stunning listeners with each hard-hitting breakdown and pulse-pounding riff. Still serving up the same brilliant savagery that made them thrash metal superstars in the first place, Metallica continue to unleash the metal mayhem whenever they tour. 

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

James Hetfield (vocals/guitar) met Lars Ulrich (drums) when the latter placed an ad in a Los Angeles-based paper in 1981. After some initial jamming, the two conscripted Dave Mustaine (guitar/vocals) and Cliff Barton (bass) the following year to play their first pioneering thrash metal shows. Mustaine was ejected for drug use prior to recording sessions for the group’s first album, so the band brought in former Exodus guitarist Kirk Hammett to complete the sessions for their 1983 debut Kill ‘Em All. Just as their star was rising, bassist Barton died in a tragic bus accident in Sweden in 1986. Despite the shock, the group felt Barton would want them to carry on, and they found a worthy replacement in Jason Newsted. Soon after, they achieved mainstream success with the 1991 release of their self-titled album, also known as “The Black Album”. The record eventually sold over 16 million copies thanks to the popularity of massive hits like “Enter Sandman”, “The Unforgiven”, and “Nothing Else Matters”. After maintaining their success through the ‘90s, Newsted left the group to focus on side projects. Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies, Ozzy Osbourne) was brought in as a replacement in time to tour for the band’s 2003 Grammy-winning album St. Anger. The revitalized quartet continues to shred at their electrifying shows on tour, where headbangers worldwide convene for unparalleled rocking.

    Bands great. Sound in the Big O is rough.

    by Chris on 2024-02-21Stade olympique - Montreal

    As the province of Quebec and the city of Montreal have already determined, the Big O needs a lot of work. Getting everyone in and all that was good. Staff was friendly. They could have handled the merch tables a bit better, that was a zoo. The sound in the stadium is rough. But it is a stadium, you're not going for the acoustics. But in general the Big O is in need of work. Bands were great though, and staff at the event were very helpful and friendly.

    Big O, more like big blow!

    by Nessy on 2023-12-08Stade olympique - Montreal

    From what could be understood of the music being played, which was not much due to the absolute terrible sound quality created by echoes in the big O, I think the bands did alright, really can't fault them for trying to put on a show in such a terrible venue however. For anyone thinking of seeing any band perform in the big O, just don't do it.

    Excellent!

    by Dr Nichons on 2023-10-25

    J’ai adoré les 2 spectacles!! Tellement une belle gang sur le stage! Ceux qui se plaignent du son en étaient sûrement à leur première expérience au stade… Moi j’ai su que c’est au parterre que ça se passe! Hehe! Je book mes billets pour le dernier show de la tournée M72 à Mexico City bientôt! Rock on!

    An amazing live experience

    by Herooftheday316 on 2023-10-24Stade olympique - Montreal

    Not my first time seeing Metallica but it always feels like the first. Will see them any chance I have the pleasure. It was nice to see 2 different shows with tones of different songs. I real pleasure. Opening bands were good also. Sound at the venue is not great and there are not many ways to leave efficiently so there is a lot of waiting around after the concert.

    Montreal Aug 11 & 13, 2023

    by Toronto Metal Guy on 2023-09-09

    I agree with some of the other comments, the Friday sound was not very good. Yes it’s not the best venue for quality sound, but the Sunday show sounded immensely better. Could this have been because of rental equipment used after the truck accident on the way from NJ the previous weekend? I’m any case, all in all it was an awesome weekend, just not sure why Toronto wasn’t chosen, last year we had to go to Buffalo to see them.

    Awesome performance with terrible sound quality

    by Major on 2023-09-07Stade olympique - Montreal

    Seeing Metallica is always a major event. These guys are built for the road. Only thing is i can only remember 1 show where it sounded good…and it wasn’t at the olympic stadium. The venu REALLY needs an acoustic treatment with professional consultants. It’s almost an insult to the fans but even more to metallica, that after 40 years of performances they cannot get good live sound in montreal. Bell center sounds better, and that’s not even a great sounding venue…. My honest two cents. As for the organization, it was clearly well organized . The customer service, the paths to walk, the security was all great. But beer was INSANELY expensive. 15$ for coors light…. Come on, really? Tis not enough that we’re paying hundreds of dollars for a ticket, alcohol should be at a reasonable price. This was just taking advantage of people.

    Bands were amazing. The venue sounds terrible.

    by Hyjynx on 2023-09-04Stade olympique - Montreal

    All 5 bands were amazing over both nights. Even with millions of dollars in top notch PA they couldn't defeat the awful acoustics in Olympic Stadium though.

    Good but not great

    by bermental on 2023-08-23

    Sound on night 1 was absolutely terrible but was fixed by night 2. Food options (outside) were really good but the pizza (9$ a slice) was inedible and cold. We took two bites and threw them out. One of the worst things I've put in my mouth. The signage in the metros and the instructions shared by Metallica and the venue/city were excellent. Overall really good but somethings that can definitely be improved.
