Metallica's World Magnetic Tour
Metallica has been on their World Magnetic Tour for two and a half years. It will wrap up it's final show in Australia next month.
Out of all of the bands in the world Metallica is the one band who simply is the best to photograph live.
James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett, and Robert Trujillo are four of the best live performers on the planet. They give absolutely everything and it shows from their body language to their facial expressions.
I was lucky enough to photograph Metallica twice on this tour and they are the one band I would shoot for free, and I never work for free.
It's not just the band which makes shooting Metallica so memorable; it is their fans.
Over the past decade Metallica's fan based has morphed into a wonderful metal melting pot. Teenagers are now bringing their parents, parents are bringing their children, and Metallica's original fan base, who is now in their early 40's to late 50's, are still just as passionate about their band as they have been since 1981.
Below are a handful of my favorites from Metallica's World Magnetic Tour. In the two times I went in to photograph them I walked away with over 800 shots from each performance.
