Those are the prices I see when hovering over the seats in each section.

Although those are presale seats that require a code, maybe that pricing will change today at 10AM with the regular sale. I also saw $157 seats up top but wasn't clear on what presale that was. Ticketmaster has turned the concert experience into a painful experience, I get so annoyed with the prices and presales that I don't even want to go anymore.

Guess I'm heading up to the dump next year.

$137 total for midway up the 2nd level, it's in the round so I'm fine with that.

Hasn't Metallica been firmly in that camp since the Black album? I will say that the songs from the new album are my favorite stuff of theirs since the Load/Reload era

I don't mean it in a disparaging way like a typical heavy metal gatekeeper. I still consider the Black album heavy metal. Maybe it's the mix as I have listened to the song a few times today and Hetfield's vocals seem neutered almost like he got the Jason Newsted treatment in the studio.

I think he sounds pretty awesome for an almost-60 year old. Hetfield has never really received the praise that a lot of the top metal vocalists get, but for pure longevity he's hard to beat

James sounds better live than most too, even now

Most of the older Metal/rock bands I go see the singer is a shadow of his former self.

in all honesty, those new Metallica singles have been pretty "meh" to me. Not bad or anything, but nothing spectacular either.

Not King Diamond, the King still sounds like he is 20. That Mercyful Fate reunion was amazing sounding. But agreed, James sounds great still as well.

Definitely. And I think blowing his voice out in the 90's was a good thing in the long run, sounded bad for a few years but he was forced to learn how to really take care of it and it's paid off

It's not his actual voice but the way in this particular song it's mixed in a way his voice is kind of buried in the track.

Discovered Lorna Shore this weekend. I've hated this style of metal vocals every time I've ever heard it before, but damn, this guy may be one of the best metal vocalists of all time. Just an unreal combo of technique, creativity and savagery:



I enjoyed following up with Justin Hawkins (The Darkness' lead singer) reaction. Turns out Justin loves this kind of thing and he breaks down the extreme metal techniques from a conventional music perspective:

I can only listen to them in small doses. I think Will is a talented singer but there's too much going on and it their music is hard on the ears.

I absolutely respect the craftsmanship, Will Ramos is insanely talented ... but I just can't get into this one bit. I've tried, more than once. Simply not my cup of tea.

I love the chaos, and I generally don't like deathcore but they bring in a lot of elements well.

They sound a lot like a more symphonic Cattle Decapitation at times.

only just now got into Zeal & Ardors latest album. I liked "Strange Fruit" back then, but kind of lost sight of them ... but this album is awesome. Just a fun genre mix.

I love the funny stuff that Electric Callboy puts out, but damn they're good with a more serious tone too. Probably one of the heaviest tracks they've ever done as well

Local band Batscratch is causing quite a sensation with 7 year old frontman Robbie. Over 14,000 followers on Instagram. @bat_scratch
