After the eight minute instrumental ‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ follows, with its atmosphere building two minute intro the band have been on stage a full ten minutes before James Hetfield’s rasping voice rings out. There is electricity in the air, Metallica are about to step onto the stage once more!Īs the atmosphere builds and smoke billows across the eight huge digital screens the opening notes of ‘Orion’ play out, a song no one expected the band to open with, but it works wonderfully. As Ennio Morricone's ‘The Ecstasy of Gold’ starts to play the hairs stand on the back of every single persons neck. With the formalities out of the way, there is only one band we are all really here to see tonight, the Metallica machine is a well-oiled behemoth and 60,000+ fans wait in anticipation as the hint of sunlight dies behind the clouds, growing ever darker above the stadium.
Many bands have done this format, but none have pulled it off to extent and success that Metallica have. Once again, for the stadium shows at least, Metallica return to “the round” giving a full 360 degree view on the band at the centre circle of the stadium. So five months after that tour announcement The Razor’s Edge team find themselves in Amsterdam for the opening night of the tour at the Johan Cruijff Arena, the stadium home to the once mighty Ajax. Different opening bands each evening and the promise of two different sets across those dates. The unique aspect of the tour… each city would host two shows across two nights.

Last November they announced a two year tour that would take in 23 cities (24 if you include Download Festival which was announced ahead of time and didn’t appear on the tour poster). Whilst they may have their naysayers, or fans stuck in 1986 who refuse to accept a band can develop their sound beyond their first three albums, for the rest of us Metallica can do little wrong. Metallica are the biggest metal band in the world right now, and the release of ’ 72 Seasons’ last week just cemented their position. She has since released a few singles and collaborated with hip-hop supergroup Czarface, but it wasn't until Colemine subsidiary Karma Chief put out her latest full-length effort Nine Lives last year that fans had a full collections of new music from Morris to dig into.Live Review: Metallica – Johan Cruijff Arena, Amsterdam (Night 1) Morris has also expanded her artistic palette into the visual realm, exploring filmmaking and animation with her videos. In 2016, Morris issued the six-song EP Babble that included the fuzzed-out, simmering psychedelic torch songs "Wizards Float" and "Woman" that garnered more raves.
Since then, the singer has continued to explore a soulful style of songwriting that has earned her comparisons to the late Amy Winehouse and contemporary soul stylists like Alice Russell and Portishead's Beth Gibbons. The diverse collection found Morris ably interpreting everything from '60s soul and pop (the Charmels' "As Long As I Have You" and Burt Bachrach's "Walk on By") to modern alternative rock (Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" and Radiohead's "Karma Police"). The response to her jazzy takes on the Pink Floyd classic "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" and Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" (surprisingly recast as a smoldering soul ballad) in particular further raised her profile and led the singer to assemble a full album of covers entitled Mockingbird in 2013.
