No, Just look at the JAPANESE shows, People are singing even not supposed to sing.

And yes Leomet, you're probably much better concert goers and music enjoyers than the rest of the world. That's probably why Metallica visits you sooooo much.

i think the japanse crowd has changed, because in the "use your illusion" dvds of gn'r, they watch the show like stones, even in their seats.

you are wrong, here we are not to rich than Europe, music business is about money and not about crowd, here are only 3 countrys that can pay for Metallica... Argentina, Chile and Brazil and may be Colombia and Venezuela but is very dificult...

It's becoming like a full blown tour than just escaping for a few shows. Maybe Rick has other commitments for a month or so and they have taken the opportunity to do a small tour. If not, then I wish they would just keep on making the new album. Japan is close to Australia, so maybe they might come here for a few shows, but they won't come to my neck of the woods, so stop stuffing around and record that album.

The only positive is the chance of new material and livemet recordings. But for fuck sake whoever's in charge take a listen to the Pearl Jam bootlegs and see how its done properly. The PJ shows sound like the FC5 Fillmore show and are mastered in real time. Listening back on a couple of the livemets not long ago and they sound bloody awful.

Why aren't they going to South America? Something must have happened, maybe the ticket sales weren't that good for the cancelled tour. Maybe there is a lack of promoters and/or venues available or they just may not like it there. Obviously something is not right cause you would think it would be the first place they would put on their schedule. Mind you not a lot of big name artists tour there frequently, so it might be down to the almighty dollar.

The SA and European crowds are more boisterous, but that's in their nature. The American crowds seema a little blasse. They get a lot of big names through and when you get something all the time you naturally would take it for granted. That is why the likes of South America, Australia etc, appreciate it a little more and act a lot crazier.

Rick is working with Linkin Park this summer on their new album.

[leomet_2000]

yeah... is about money, but i think promoters they had a bad action, may be Metallica cancel last shows because this people finally change his signed words (i dont know how to explain in english, i think less money for Metallica)... this was not about tickets... 4 shows was sold out!! here was near a 2nd date in River Plate Stadium, only rumors!! anyways, it was very bad when i heard 1 week before the show!!

Dude, my point was that i don't think you appreciate going to a Metallica concert more than someone that lives in Europe/ America.....for example Me!
Real fans are real fans and i think all '' real '' Metallica fans feels the same way when we've just got our tickets to a Metallica show we're going to.
Saying that People from South America or from any part of the world appreciates the concerts more than people from other parts of the world is therefore totally Bullshit, from my point of view.

I'm getting tired of all '' WHY DON'T THEY COME TO MY HOUSE? '' like posts.
Fuck, they don't come to a place near you? Then go travell. I'm travelling several thousand miles to see Metallica this summer.
You can't afford to travel? So be it, we don't live on same conditions
( sad but true ) but we sure as hell enjoy their concerts equally as much as i said previously in this post.

It was Indeed quite sad that they cancelled the South American tour in 03 but hell you said it yourself leomet- It's all about the money.

Think about this:

If you were in Metallica, you have a Familly, you're going away on tour to do your job and make as much money as you can( and of course have some fun ).
Your Management company asks you this:
- Do you want to go to South America or Europe? You'll only be able to sell half of all the tickets at the South American shows but you'll be able to sell out all European shows and make hell a lot more money, What Would You Choose?
