Metallica in LV… Should I?

[Briar Friar]

Im not jabbed. Nor will I get jabbed. Im have some immunity thanks due to Omicorn…the latest lab leak Covid strain.

I have been offered a floor ticket to Mighty Met at Allegiant Stadium and a bed on the Strip. Ive never been to see Metallica and my brother is virgin to LV.
https://www.allegiantstadium.com/eve...tail/metallica

Whereas I havent bought my plane ticket for Feb 25 concert. I was waiting for SCOTUS decision on Bidens mandates…knowing he would go full retard if all measures passed the Court. There was a good ruling for those that oppose the jab and upholding the Constitution. So off Ill go on a plane no Las
Vegas.

Whereas I cant figure if the Allegiant Stadium requires a jab for the concert. Allegiamts website each event is supposed to be evaluated… and with respect to Nevada Governors Emergency Directive 049.
https://gov.nv.gov/News/Emergency_Or...(Attachments)/

https://www.allegiantstadium.com/sta...-19-disclosure
Which states, that regardless of jab status that a mask must be worn.

Whereas, The NFL Raiders require the jab but no mask.

Ive called Allegiants landline and its just a voicemail hell that refers to the Allegiant website. I dont care enough to attempt to lie as to jab status.

So…since Allegiant says everyone must wear a mask regardless of jab status that means nonjabbers are accepted? Its past time to get my plane ticket.

What says the Green Screen?
Thanks for your guidance.
God bless!

This is all that came up while I was searching tickets. Looks like mask are required but no jab according to this.

[Pstraw]

Go if you get the chance. I really doubt there'll be any mask police at the concert.

[ShockValue]

I went to a hockey game in Vegas in December. No vax card required and no mask police in the crowd. They don’t care!

[SmTx]

If you got an ounce of "I like Metallica" in you, go!

They've been around forever so they got concerts down to a T. They rock live.

This! Great show no matter if you like them or not.

[eradicator]

I love Metallica. Vegas sucks these days. Tough call. It would be a no go for me.

Should you? No, and here’s why: As I assume you did, I grew up listening to the great bands of the 70s and 80s, music that they now refer as “classic rock.” While I continue to contend that this was the greatest era in rock music, I am not an advocate of reliving the past. Tempos are maddeningly slower, voices are disturbingly weak with gaps in their clarity, and guitars balance precariously on protruding bellies that sit on top of an a** that was lost in the mileau of the “Sex, Drugs, and Rock-and-Roll” era.

There’s a saying, “You can never go home again.” When you do, your “trip” always ends in disappointment and the startling realization that you, along with your favorite icons of the past, are making that slow, inexorable march toward death.

Save yourself the disappointment...and the money. Stay home.

[Reelthreat]

It's Metallica, save your money and gamble it while in Vegas. Even if you lose it will be a better time than seeing the Napter killers.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

[MadHatter]

Seen them several times, one of my top 3 bands and they rock!!
I wouldn't go now, they are not the same band I cut my teeth on.
Journey the same way, after the last concert I realized I was never gonna go to another one.
Not to mention all the stupid mixed in nowadays.
I can't imagine a concert where I'm screaming and singing, in a mask .
Here's to 0 mask nazis and you having a blast !
Vegas, never again .

[ttaxidermy]

I 100% would.... You only live once.

[kae006]

Whereas, plan to go if you want to go.

Whereas buy travel insurance should you not be able to attend.

This is a bad take from someone who I’m guessing has never seen Metallica.

[ThisLadyHunts]

Ah, but you would be wrong.

Ok. Just a bad take then. Sounds like you’re describing Fleeteood Mac and not Metallica. I get it…they are old…so am I. But they are still incredible live. As for your tempo comment, they are famously known for playing faster than their recorded versions.

[TxMedic]

Saw them years ago in Austin with Godsmack. Fantastic show, I’d see them again in a heartbeat!

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

I don't love Metallica but she is definately talking about the Who or Fleetwood Mac. Lol.

Metallica and Godsmack were awesome in Austin, took my son for his first concert. Like said above, they put on a heck of a show. I am older now, but would still go see them, and yes still ****** about the take down of napster, but over it now. Go and Enjoy the show, don't let the Vax bring it down. Rock On!

[Goldeneagle]

Go ahead OP. It will beat the heck out of anything you'll see at the HLSR.

[Graysonhogs]

Saw em in 88. I’m good. Don’t have Enter Sandman to be forced thru. I got them right before Justice came out

I just went to SEMA a few weeks back and they pretty much just checked for mask at the door. Most people took them off 10' in. Casinos enforced it at tables, but that was about it.

[BigOh!]

You'll Regret it if you don't... Mask enforcement is almost none.
We Just Got back From a week long Trip..

[Farmdog]

No more Rush, no more Motorhead, no more Zz Top, absolutely go, Tool is currently touring too, Metallica is a blast live. Anybody tells you different just dont get it

[Briar Friar]

Word. Thanks MrHogmauler.
Thanks all Yall for your input…especially those who’ve been on ground in LV. Im going.

Whereas, Greta Van Fleet opens for Metallica.
Thereby, ******edness will abound this concert from start to finish.
Giggity.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

Show up late. Lol.

Greta von suck.

Well now I definitely need to see them and see why they suck. Why is your take your take BoB?

I had a buddy whose was a staunch metal head who would riot when someone played Nickelback. Gay…he’d say. RIP Springer. He owned every Metallica shirt that had ever been made and wore nothing else.

Man they are 10,000 times worse than Nickleback. Terrible. Not even close to being metal. If they opened for Slayer they would get booed and pummeled by debris. Lol.

In case you’re interested, I just noticed that Fleetwood Mac is playing that same venue on the following Thursday, I believe.

That's more like it BOB...I thought someone had taken over your acct.

[txtrophy85]

I’ve never seen Metallica ( big fan just never went ) but I’ve seen several bands who should have been well past their heyday perform and they killed it. Saw the Rush R-40 tour…incredible. Saw Def Leppard in 2008 or 10 and they were absolutely incredible. Heart opened for them and they really stole the show. ZZ Top always sounded good.

[Farmdog]

John Bonham’s son Jason compared them to the Black Crows Does this mean my Black Crows tatt needs to be covered up? The last Black Crows show in the RGV had more sheriff deputies than heads, as if a Homeboy Stoner Riot was about to break out

[muddyfuzzy]

Metal up your ***!

Pat Benatar is coming to the Mesquite Rodeo Arena. Might have to check it out.

[Kong]

You should go, you can never “Unsee” a Metallica concert and they know how to put on a show, are they what they were 20 years ago? Absolutely not but thr still better than 99% of the retards touring these days. Give me 1 old school band over this new age Crap any day…

[ThisLadyHunts]

Wow, you’d think I just dropped a Baby Ruth in the punchbowl!

For those whose licensed Metallica panties got twisted by my callous and thoughtless comments, I humbly apologize.

Y’all are crazy, though…you know that, right? Precious, but crazy!

[bow4my2]

Seen em 17 times , most recently at the horrible triad fight in Dallas. Frequent Vegas every couple months as I have family there. Go and have a good time. The masks really only get enforced around certain gaming areas. Heck I’ll go with ya. Lol

[Ætheling]

Funniest thing on here is anyone trying to act like Metallica and Fleetwood Mac werent part of the same era. Not genre but definitely era. Metallica and Fleetwood Mac were dropping albums at the same time lol. Everything after Ride the Lightning SUCKS. James Hetfield is like 60 now, yall just forget how old you are lmao.

With all jokes aside if you want to see them go for it. One of the greatest concerts I ever saw was Soundgarden on their Badmotorfinger 20th anniversary tour in 2014. Also was great because it would be their last for obvious reasons but they played heavier at that concert than they did in the 90s. They opened for NIN and their performance was so good we didn't stay for NIN as the experience could only have gone down hill form there. It was perfection so we left it at that.

Go enjoy you some Metallica Grandpa!
