Please, no more open air shows.
I’m really craving the chance to see Metallica in an arena again. Indoor shows are simply so much better than these massive stadium open airs. Fewer people, a much more compact stage, and most importantly, far better sound.
I’ve seen the current tour in four different stadiums, and every single time the same thing annoyed me: this absurdly huge stage setup just doesn’t work. The sound down in front of the stage is sometimes really weak, and half the time you can barely even see the band members because they’re standing somewhere on the opposite side of the stage. Instead of actually experiencing the concert, you end up watching the video screens all night. That completely kills the atmosphere for me.
Please stop with these giant open air productions and go back to arena shows. That’s where Metallica are at their absolute best.
