You And 7 Guests Can See Metallica in Mexico City This Fall

On social media, you hear about some great contests to enter.  One of which is that you have a chance to see Metallica in Mexico City this fall!  Did you know that?  I’m a huge Metallica nut and I’m just remembering that there are only a handful of days left to get entered to win.  Let me tell you more about it.

Metallica has been doing no-repeat weekends on their M72 World Tour.  That’s right…..it’s pretty awesome.  But if you see them in whatever country they’re playing on Saturday let’s say, you’ll get one Setlist.  If you go the next night?  A whole new set.  That’s what they did last Summer when they performed at MetLife stadium. 

It was so much fun because you just didn’t know what to expect from each set.  I mean you could make an educated guess that if on night one they didn’t play Master of Puppets, then you knew that was coming night two, but it really is a cool way to go about the sets.

That being said, if you want to travel, not on your dime, to Mexico City to watch the band perform a no-repeat weekend, they’re giving you an opportunity.  If you win, you and SEVEN guests will get to head to Mexico City to see their final no-repeat weekend of 2024.

To enter, you need to make a donation to Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation which seems like a great organization.  You’ll help Metallica as they support the creation of sustainable communities worldwide.  If you win, you and seven friends will get flown to Mexico City for a hotel stay and tickets to Metallica’s final no-repeat weekend.  For the first show, you’ll get your very own VIP seats to watch from and for the 2nd show, you and your friends will be in the Snakepit!  

Here's the thing though……your chance to enter to win ends this Monday at Midnight.  So my suggestion?  Hurry up and enter!!  More details at the link below!

Were you at Starland Ballroom last night?

Asking Alexandria headlined a tremendous show! They fired up some really great live versions of "Into The Fire," "To The Stage," and much more. And they had some great openers as well! The Hu and Zero 9:36. Both bands got the crowd pumped and it was cool watching The Hu doing their thing – blending traditional Mongolian sounds with metal!! One cool highlight was when they did their cover of Metallica’s “Through The Never”. It sounded great and they definitely have a unique take on it.

Let’s go back to The Blacklist cover album and take a look at 6 of the most unique versions of Metallica tunes!

This woman is a model, an actress, and a tremendous vocalist. She's got a truly awesome set of pipes and this cover proves she can sing any genre. Very intriguing hearing a danceable version of "Enter Sandman!!"

Jose Madero was the lead singer of a band called PANDA.  Here, he flies solo and over the piano that accompanies him at the beginning of the track, I get chills when I hear it.  Such an amazing cover.  Haunting, emotional, and raw just like Metallica's original.

This one is so odd.  At first, I didn't get it.  But after a few listens, it's a very unique spin on one of the most underrated songs of the Black album.  It's got a college rock, underground, punkish vibe in moments.  And certainly stands out as one of the most unique takes on a Metallica tune.

Straight Out of Chile, this vocalist known for Pop, Bolero, Salsa, and more does a bang-up job in her version of the Metallica classic.  In Spanish and with those beautiful guitars with that Latin flare, it sounds so cool to hear the song this way.  Again, another that is haunting yet powerful and beautiful all at once!

This jazz saxophonist is an amazing player. In fact, everyone on the track lays down something very hypnotic and captivating.  A jazzed-up version of a Metallica B-Side is just what we needed!

Those Mongolian instruments and that feel.  So intriguing, but it still brings the heavy on the main riff of the song. Once those vocals kick in, you can't help but be hypnotized. Great version!
