With an always energetic approach and a musical selection that left few moments of respite with ‘power ballads’, the band from Los Angeles chose to give prominence to a selection of songs from the best stage of their discography.
Beyond the fact that a third of the songs played by Metallica were from their famous and most successful self-titled album, popularly known as “Black Album”, the rest of the show included fragments of the best of the band’s most thrash metal stage, with except for a few songs from his later stage.
Also with the stellar participation of the experienced Kirk Hammett, Metallica’s lead guitarist since their first album, and Robert Trujillo, the band’s bassist since 2003, the group came out with “Whiplash”, from their debut feature “Kill ‘Em All” by 1983, and “Ride the Lightning” from the following year’s self-titled album.
Then, for the high point of “Fuel” flames arose from numerous points in the stadium to surprise and warm the more than 60,000 people who sold out tickets.
The enthusiastic and always picturesque metal audience was not short on moments conducive to jumping and taking some memory bruises with the frantic pogos that gave color and warmth to the cold night.
To separate some themes and broaden the atmospheric idea of the song that was about to begin, the show also had small visual pieces projected on the screens that contributed to the ‘dark’ aesthetic of the show.
In its achievement, the list of themes reinforced the eighties trash metal spirit that flew over the show most times and was mixed with the inevitable “Black Album”: “Holier Than Thou”, “Seek and Destroy” from “Kill ‘ Em All” and the unforgettable “One”, from the album “…And Justice for All” from 1988, which led to a laser show that was added to the recurring flares for the public’s visual enjoyment.
It was followed by “Sad But True”, the emotional “The Unforgiven”, “Creeping Death”, the recent “Moth Into Flame” and “No Leaf Clover”, a song recorded in 1999 between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra.
For the end, “Master of Puppets” was played, from the acclaimed album of the same name from 1986, and the band withdrew for a few minutes to make way for the encores before the typical Argentine harangue.
The group reappeared with “Spit Out the Bone”, from the album “Hardwired… to Self-Destruct” in 2016, and retired in a big way with one of their best ‘power ballads’, “Nothing Else Matters”, and the opening theme of the album that contributed the most songs to the evening, “Enter Sandman”, which put a finishing touch to the great night of metal and allowed fans to continue jumping with more activity than ever.
The Metallica show could also be followed through a streaming broadcast on the Flow platform, to which 250 thousand people were connected.
Earlier, the American band Greta Van Fleet, made up of the Kiszka brothers, opened the Metallica show around 7:00 p.m. and presented songs like “Built by Nations”, “Black smoke rising”, “Caravel” and “Lover, Leaver” .
With a somewhat more modern sound and style, although with roots in hard rock, from the public that likes Metallica, the band stood out with a compact and acceptable presentation that culminated with the songs “My way soon” and “Highway Tune” .
Meanwhile, Marina Fages, singer, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist who explores indie folk and a slightly more intense rock, who is also dedicated to painting murals in various cities around the world, also appeared previously.
