  • My Week with Metallica by Marcus Teague November
    My Week With Metallica By Marcus Teague November 2010 "Marcus”, he drawls. “How'd you get so cool? You’re tall, you’re an awesome writer…” Lars Ulrich's voice trails off from the back seat of the limo cab. It's 4am, we've left the Metallica End of Tour party and we're on our way to notorious Melbourne rock dive bar Cherry, for reasons absolutely more to do with drunken bravado than common sense. I don’t know." I don't know", I say. "It's probably similar to being in one of the biggest bands in the world". Zipping through the cold, empty streets of Melbourne, we arrive outside Cherry and wobble down AC/DC lane.

I stand back with the rest of us; Steffan Chirazi, editor of the Metallica fan club magazine So What!, Barbara, Lars' PA and Allen Bickle, drummer from support band Baroness. A glance into the front bar reveals a vision of torn denim jackets and skinny jeans, dancing and posing to the kind of music being made by the people in the back. Returning, I find Lars has poured my drink into his own glass. OK then. This is the lay of the land. Exactly a week prior I had received a call from Lars Ulrich on my mobile.

The concerts were historic on multiple levels, serving as the grand opening of San Francisco’s Chase Center, reuniting the band and Symphony for the first time since the 1999 performances captured on the Grammy-winning S&M album, and featuring the first-ever symphonic renditions of songs written and released since those original S&M shows. “S&M2 offers an inspired and eye-opening view into not just the shared heritage of classical music and heavy metal, but into the spirit of innovation and to endless vistas awaiting exploration.” - Louder “And it’s also of little surprise, especially for anyone who attended those increasingly legendary shows at Chase last year, that this new album is another major winner. What a great memento of such a monumental night in Bay Area live music history.” - The Mercury News “This collaboration between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony brings to life the fusion of heavy metal and classical music. As it was in 1999, S&M2 is a grand celebration of the energy and magic that these forms of music convey.” – Metal Wani S&M2 is a landmark release in the Metallica catalogue, both sonically and visually.
