Metallica Setlist at Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Australia

Can somebody please let me know what time this show finishes? I'm going to the one tomorrow and need to know the finishing time to work out transport. Thanks

Who cares about transportation, as long as you make the show thats all that f'n matters!! Me & my friend are travelling up from canberra without accommodation all we will have is $500 beer money.

Mmmmm beer and alcoholica. What more could u want

If Metallica are taking the stage around 9:00pm, the show should be over between 11:00pm and 11:30pm.

^^^^ Show finished around 11:30ish

@ Aaron
The Sword were on at 7pm sharp till 7:30.
Fear Factory were on at 7:45 - 8:30
Metallica came on at 9:15 and it finished about 11:20.

To be honest, I wasn't all that excited by last night's concert. After the build up of 'Ecstacy of Gold' they should have opened with a classic like Creeping Death or Battery - not a slow Death Magnetic song. Also, unlike last time (2004 for me) the setlists don't change and, for me, it became a bit too predictable. I would have prefered less Death Magnetic songs and more oldies or surprises. Maybe that will teach me not to look at concert setlists before I go.... :) Playing in the round is a great idea and I think that unless there was a lighting rig in the way everyone got a good view regardless of their seats.
Fear Factory were really good and a definite highlight. I didn't know any of The Sword's stuff so they didn't do much for me although I like what I've seen on youtube.

The Sword were pretty awesome for a band i had never hurd be4. Fear factory were a letdown and arnt the right style to be opening for metallica. All together the show was fucking awesome, scored myself 2 picks a beachball and James Hetfield talked to me. Fuel, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Master of Puppets and Seek and Destroy were awesome for me

I thought the beachballs at the end were a great idea. Looked great from the seating. I've loved Fear Factory since about 1995. Been waiting to see them since 1996. Demanufacture is one of my all-time favourite albums.

Um, how can the set list for the tour change? That was the first show!! Metallica change their set more than any other band throughout a tour.

THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER BEEN TOO!!!
Been to all Metallica shows in Melbourne except Black tour.
Had the time of my life and I spent it with my BEST mate on the barrier!!!

Everyone played tight
Sound was perfect
Stage was Awesome
View from the centre barrier was brilliant
I have a drum stick, DM pick, JH sweat band, a Black ball

Lots of Merch, Good selection, not impressed with the T's but I bought one

Everyone was singing, screaming, smiling and loving the show

I have GA tix to 2 more shows

@ Shmick - From reading the other setlists from the Death Magnetic tour concerts they seem to look quite similar. They may do something different tonight. I will wait and see.

Does anyone remember when James Hetfield said "What does that even meen? Is it a good thing or a bad thing?" That was to me, in regards to my sign that said LARS IS STOCK

I take back anything I may have said about the unvaried setlist. I should have gone to the Thursday show. Great setlist....Battery, Creeping Death, Holier Than Thou, Unforgiven, Justice..! Wow!

@ Doin:

Told ya dude.

They vary it based on what hasn't been played as much in each city.

I have tickets for the second November show so will see what they do then.

as long as they play fade to black i am happy
