Metallica to close off BlizzCon 2014

METALLICA RULES!

GIMME FOO GIMME FAIAH GIMME JIBBA JABBA DAIH!

Attending BlizzCon is pretty much a passion project. Unless you’re interested in games such as Diablo, World Of Warcraft or Hearthstone (HEARTHSTONE!), there might not be much there that will grab your attention. But if you do happen to be a Blizzard mega-fan, then there’s a ton to do. It’s also a pricy ticket to have, but it does allow you access to one BlizzCon tradition.

Namely, a rocking closing ceremony. Past BlizzCons have seen the likes of Tenacious D and Blink 182 play the mostly-annual event out of Anaheim. This year, Metallica steps up to the plate to send fans home with some sweet licks and iconic tracks. If you’re thinking of getting a ticket right now for the event so that you dust off your Master Of Puppets T-shirt, then you’re most likely buggered.

Tickets as usual sold out pretty quick once they went live, and the only ones left are most likely being sold at a hefty price by the scum of the planet, ticket scalpers. Still, there is a digital ticket equivalent, which will set you back around $39.99. Don’t laugh, even those tickets sell like hotcakes.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go see if I can sneak in. Somehow. I could totally pass for a roadie I reckon. Hell, most of my clothing remains in a perpetually unwashed status as it is, is mostly black and I happen to be rather deft at carrying heavy stuff.

        Each to his own… Not a big fan of the really early Metallica stuff. Black album is of course epic but earlier stuff like Ride the Lightning etc. bit too harsh for my ears at times … New stuff is cool ! Enjoy Death Magnetic immensely

        I blame James Hetfield for that. He got clean and sober and then Metallica went Nancy on us.

            Still doesn’t explain the decade of mediocre work before that album. Anyway, caught them on their last tour and I was blown away, best concert of my life and I’ve attended more than a few.

            Me too, saw them last year and also my best experience (seen loads of bands as lived in UK, loved the concerts there). Have yo agree with you about the 10 year gap. Although I do enjoy listening to Load, reLoad (let’s not mention St Anger shall we) their earlier stuff is legend!

          Yeah, while good for him, it was bad for the fans

          Less violence, more sense.
          Though it’s pretty much like saying ice cream is a better warm desert than Malva.

      Megadeth were practically a glam rock band compared to Metallica’s early work.

        Let’s forget that Metallica’s first guitarist is the singer and lead guitarist in Megadeath? 🙂 tehehe

      This might have been the most dumbest DRM comment I’ve ever made.

    $39.99 isn’t so bad.
    I paid more than that to see less famous bands.
