See it, know it, feel it

It says its only the last date being added to their World Magnetic tool. Im sure then they'll head to the studio, put out another crappy album, and go on another tour that I could care less about.

If only this were their last tour

No they said it's going to be their last album,
It's not the band that I love, It's the idea :P
Like, Metallica, the band that stood for almost 30 years, GONE.

they said it was going to be their last album? if thats their last tour im gonna be pissed!!
I love Metallica, sure Death Magnetic wasn't great but it wasn't a piece of trash. and well.... I like Saint Anger. and im 16 so maybe thats why I don't join the hating people. they made some really good music and I would like to see them live atleast once. I will be saddened if i can't.

I've seen them 2 times, 1st barrier and 2nd barrier 1st row, just centimetres away from them. Not the energy from the band, BUT THE CROWD, that's why you go to Metallica.

They never said it was their last album. I do not know what you are talking about. I just read an interview with Rob about a month and he said after touring, they are gonna take a small break, then start on the next album writing.

Marco A. Mayer · #8 07-30-2010, 04:29 PM

To the OP:

Exactly where did they say this was going to be their last album?

YogaBear · #9 07-30-2010, 04:29 PM

And Maiden, Who's going to tour for a couple of years, and then quit.
I'ts like Old-Metal is dying, Slayer and Megadeth, etc. are quitting in the next 5 years!
Time for some Neo-heavy metal.
Like Airbourne!

YogaBear · #10 07-30-2010, 04:31 PM

what?
I've heard they were going to stop after this album.
Does somebody have a link?

pasta4lnch · #11 07-30-2010, 04:31 PM

and besides . . . last album never really means last album anyways.

YogaBear · #12 07-30-2010, 04:32 PM

Waaaaiitt, MY fault.
They were considering to stop after this album!
Now I get it.

My apologies,
But Heavy Metal is dying for sure.

None of these bands are quitting except for maybe Slayer.

I have no idea where you are getting your info, but it's wrong.

THE END OF THE LINE . . .
7/13/2010 [ back ]

Dear Friends:
We are so psyched to add a second show in Christchurch, New Zealand at CBS Canterbury Arena on September 21...thanks again for demanding that we visit you there!!

Now to the real reason we're here taking up space on this site...we also want to announce that all of our play dates have now filled up with the addition of this show...that's right boys and girls, this will be the last date added to the World Magnetic Tour! So if you're waiting for us to come to the Polar Ice Caps, your undiscovered planet or even your basement, sorry, this is as good at it gets.

It has been a very long, and most amazing run. The number of shows played depends on when you start counting. We are gonna go with what the boys in the band say, 'cuz they have been out on the road more or less continuously since May of 2008 and that brings us up to a total of 212 shows in 153 cities. Each and every one of them has been memorable and special and we thank you for that. This is where we could spew a bunch of crazy numbers at you...you know the 2.3 million tickets sold, 300 million miles traveled, 3,000 pounds of bacon consumed "shtick," but you don't care about that stuff and frankly neither do we. What we DO care about is letting you know the immense gratitude we feel for all of your love and support over these past two and half years. When we embarked on this "magnetic" journey, none of us ever, in our wildest dreams, imagined how truly incredible it would be and it's all because of hanging out with YOU!

It's obviously not over just yet, so let's not get too sappy here...we're off to Australia, New Zealand and Japan in the Fall for what promises to be some of the loudest, craziest, most rocking shows!
