Summer in Rome will be fired up by Metallica’s music: the world tour of the American band will arrive in Rome on June the 24th.
The concert of Metallica in the eternal city will give thousands of fans the chance to spend a low cost holiday in Rome and to listen to the songs of the latest album of the band, Death Magnetic, released in September 2008. The 9th studio album of the band, the first one to be recorded with current bass player Robert Trujillo, who was hired after the defection of Jason Newsted, has achieved a great success, hitting number one of the charts in 25 countries, including Italy, and has been described by critics as a return to the style of the beginning and to a sound which makes it similar to albums like Master of Puppets and …And Justice for All, respectively released in 1986 and 1988.
The new album has been published 27 years after the formation of the band and 25 years after the first album (Kill ‘Em All, indeed, was published in 1983), but the band seems not to suffer the passing of time: Metallica are always at work, although they have had to face various difficult moments in their career, like the death of bass player Cliff Barton in 1986, alcohol problems (in 2001 James Hetfield temporarily left the band to take part in an alcohol rehabilitation program), the change of some members of the band (besides Jason Newsted, in 1983 guitarist Kirk Hammett replaced Dave Mustaine, then founder of Megadeth, with whom the band had an argument about the authorship of some songs realised while Mustaine was still part of Metallica). In 2001 Metallica also had to deal with a lawsuit against Napster, which had distributed via internet some songs of the band for free, and this contributed in creating the image of a band only interested in money. Nonetheless Metallica are still on the crest of the wave, and each published album has achieved a great success, although many old-guard fans did not really appreciate albums like Load and Re-Load, respectively published in 1996 and in 1997, which marked a change in the style of the band, visible also in their renewed look, cleared of long hair and leather clothes. Despite criticism, Metallica have always gone on, marking three decades with songs that everyone remembers (from The Four Horsemen to Fuel, from Nothing Else Matters to Until it Sleeps, from One to St Anger, just to give few examples), and receiving important awards also 25 years after their formation (in 2009 the band was awarded with a grammy for “Best Metal Performance”).
If you want to see one of the most important bands of the last few decades at work you only need to book a 3 star hotel in Rome and enjoy the concert of Metallica, a band that can best express the power of its music live. The band’s performance, which has already convinced many fans to book a cheap guest house in Rome and to buy a ticket, will be preceded by two interesting bands: Lamb of God and Mastodon.
Tickets: 46,00 – 63,25 euro
Date: 24th June 2009
