METALLICA‘s M72 “No Repeats Weekend” tour has been garnering praise for its innovative concept. The legendary band performs two different setlists on two nights with different opening acts in the same venue.
This allows them to perform some unexpected deep cuts, while also adding to their on-stage fun. METALLICA‘s interaction with fans during their recent shows has been exceptional. During one of their performances, frontman James Hetfield gifted a pick to a young fan and allowed the crowd to touch his white ESP Snakebyte in the signature Snakepit.
However, during the post-song commotion, a member of the audience accidentally turned James‘ guitar down by grabbing the instrument’s volume knob. James quickly realized this and brought his sound back up with a big smile.

As reported by Billboard, METALLICA‘s latest album, 72 Seasons, achieved sales of 146,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. during its initial week, securing the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.
Although it was the first time since their 1988 album …And Justice For All that the band didn’t reach the No. 1 position, 72 Seasons represents METALLICA‘s 12th album to make it into the Top 10 charts, with eight of them attaining the top two spots.
