METALLICA SPRING 2004 TOUR CITIES

Blabbermouth link...enjoy the endless St. Anger bashing

Metallica is confirmed to play KeyArena in Seattle March 28. But that's the only date that has been announced at this time.

Here are the cities that Metallica will be touring in, i.e the cities that matter to David, Nick, Steve, Grant, and I:

San Diego, CA (closest to Grant)
Los Angeles, CA
Anaheim, CA
Portland, OR
Spokane, WA
Seattle, WA (closest to David and Nick)
Vancouver, BC
Minneapolis, MN (closest to Steve)
Little Rock, AR (closest to me)
Memphis, TN

I've seen Metallica in concert once, at the EMP Grand Opening show back in June 2000. They only played 50 minutes at that show, so I'd like to see them play a full show if I'm able to get tickets. Metallica has not played Little Rock's Alltel Arena yet. They have played Barton Coliseum a couple of times, but never Alltel, which opened in 1999.

Yes, "St. Anger" was less than what I expected out of them. But I'd love to see Metallica live with Rob Trujillo, who is one of the best bass players out there. We'll find out the rest of the dates in early 2004.
