METALLICA
THE "WORLD MAGNETIC TOUR" COMES TO CLEVELAND
October 15 at 7:00 p.m. - Quicken Loans Arena
Since they formed in 1981, San Francisco Bay Area band Metallica has gone from an underground heavy metal band to one of the most successful acts in the world, with an intensely loyal fan base. As part of the World Magnetic Tour, Metallica will make a stop in Cleveland on October 15 at Quicken Loans Arena.
The World Magnetic Tour features a stage "in the round" meaning the stage is in the center of the floor and the tickets on the floor will be general admission. The band has been touring to sold-out crowds across the U.S. and the World since the release of last year's Death Magnetic album. Earlier this year they received their eighth Grammy Award (for Best Metal Performance for Death Magnetic "My Apocalypse"). This month will see the release of the Metallica Guitar Hero game as well as the release of The Complete Metallica, a discography box set, featuring 163 tracks.
Sales of Metallica's albums (including 10 full-length albums, and one e.p.) total over 93 million copies worldwide (with over 50 million coming in North America alone), and have earned gold and/or platinum certifications in over forty countries. The Black album has earned the prestigious RIAA Diamond Award (for sales of 10 million copies in the U.S.). Metallica's St. Anger charted at #1 in 30 countries, and has sold 5 million records worldwide. In addition, a live box-set release (containing over eight hours of live music and video), retailing at over $80, has sold over 1 million units worldwide, making it the biggest selling box-set of its kind in history.
The documentary film, Metallica: Some Kind of Monster, 3 1/2 years in the making and directed by acclaimed filmmakers Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last February. It was released theatrically in July 2004. By the end of the year, SKOM was nominated for several critics' choice awards and appeared on many "Top 10 films of the year" lists. The film won "Best Documentary" at the 2005 Independent Spirit Awards.
When it comes to touring, there are few, if any, bands who deliver live the way Metallica do. Their shows, which began in clubs and garages in the early eighties, are now selling out in arenas and stadiums throughout the world. Metallica continues to be among the most intense, powerful and visually stimulating concert experiences ever delivered. The most impressive achievement that bears mentioning is the fact that Metallica continues to be a strong attraction in the touring world; a truly rare feat in today's mercurial entertainment business, where fans often change allegiance to bands as often as they do hairstyles.
