Do you know how to tell it's officially fall? When you see a gigantic skeleton bustin' out of a parking lot in a Jeep. It's safe to say that fall is here and the spooky season is upon us. We know that because a giant skeleton decoration was just seen sitting in a Jeep pulling out of a Wegmans parking lot. And when we say giant, we mean GIANT.

Two of the most searched-for questions about Metallica on Google might be a surprise to some fans: "Is Metallica Christian?" and "Is Metallica anti-Christian?"

The "Snake Pit" is one of the most coveted sections of Metallica's M72 world tour to get tickets for, but they're also the priciest. Some random fans at one of their recent shows were offered passes for the pit, and they had hilarious reactions. Metallica uploaded a Reel on their...

While Taylor Swift has the hottest ticket going in the music world right now, there is now another act that currently holds the attendance record for Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium.

Corey Taylor thinks Metallica's St. Anger has "some good grooves on it" that are "underappreciated,' including the album's title track.

On Aug. 21, 2008, Metallica released “The Day That Never Comes,” the lead single from their ninth album, Death Magnetic. The song found the band revitalized. St. Anger, the group’s previous LP, was Metallica’s final effort with longtime producer Bob Rock and their first release following the departure of bassist Jason Newsted. It was met with mixed reviews, with many wondering if the metal giants had finally lost their edge.

Last Friday (Aug. 18), Pantera (and Mammoth WVH) opened for Metallica at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (as part of Metallica’s “M72 World Tour"). The same day, drummer Charlie Benante humbly took to social media to share some pictures of him sitting behind Lars Ulrich’s drumkit, and in doing so, he revealed which Metallica song he’d love to play with his fellow thrash icons.

Metallica have been playing two shows in every city throughout 2023, and at each stop of their North American leg so far, they've opened with "Creeping Death" one night and "Whiplash" the next. During a new interview with The New York Times, Lars Ulrich described what makes a good opening song for concerts.

If you've seen the Barbie movie, you may have caught a subtle nod to one of metal's biggest bands in Ken's wardrobe. While embracing his full patriarchy maleness, Ken dons a rather noticeable belt with his name "KEN" spelled out in a lightning-esque silver font against a black backdrop similar to that of Metallica. And now, with the movie doing big box office numbers, the merchandising of a new Ken doll is replicating that look.

If you’re reading this, you probably love Metallica and/or Metalocalypse and realize that the iconic thrash quartet influenced the iconic cartoon series (and its central band, Dethklok) to some degree. However, in a recent interview with co-creator Brendon Small, he revealed that Metallica: Some Kind of Monster – the 2004 documentary about the making of 2003’s mostly maligned St. Anger – overtly paved the way for his animated show.

It's well known that Metallica have a meticulous process for constructing songs, but where does one even begin when Kirk Hammett submits 700 riffs for what would become 72 Seasons?. It's a staggering amount of musical ideas to sift through, but this type of volume is nothing new for Hammett....

What would it sounds like if Metallica's James Hetfield sang Slayer's crushing hit "Raining Blood?" AI (artificial intelligence) once again holds the answer to such a question — it sounds menacing!. As much as we'd all like to cry foul at AI, like most things in life, us humans...

This past Friday (Aug. 4), Metallica launched the North American leg of their “M72 World Tour” – in support of this year’s 72 Seasons – at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Metallica have quite the list of artists supporting them throughout their M72 World tour, which has dates scheduled as far out as September of 2024. They've also had a lot of artists support them over the last 10 years, so we wanted to look back and see everyone who's opened for the legends within that time frame.

Metallica are by far the most commercially successful of any of the 'Big 4' thrash bands, and are in fact one of the most successful bands in metal or any other genre. Their lineup has also been pretty stable with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich there from the beginning and Kirk Hammett on board since the recording of their debut album Kill ‘Em All.

Picking a single Metallica song as your favorite is a pretty daunting task, so narrowing it down to three may make things a bit easier. Disturbed's David Draiman took on the challenge after wishing James Hetfield a happy birthday on social media. "Happy birthday to one of my idols," Draiman...
