EDITORS NOTE: I have to compliment \M/ETALLICA, sobriety really HAS helped this band, look how TIGHT METALLICA play NOW compared to the 90's and 80's, damn, they sound soo TIGHT, very good performance in SOUTH AMERICA (ARGENTINA). Hang in there SOUTH AMERICA, METALLICA will be back and they aint stopping anytime soon. 4:36 of METALLICA's "ONE" is such CLASSIC thrash, nice twin guitar work between Kirk and James. We Americans need a second round, and second generation of the old Bay area thrash big four, METALLICA, EXODUS, MEGADETH and TESTAMENT tour, or even ANTHRAX, or perhaps SLAAAYER. I don't know if that's ever going to come to fruition, but it would be cool.
This ones dedicated to MORGAN HARRINGTON (didn't know her, however, all the best to her family, and friends, stay strong) and all \m/etallica fans worldwide, and all they put up with. Last time I saw METALLICA was WOODSTOCK '94, long journey to the show.
FROM BLABBERMOUTH.NET: Argentina's La Viola conducted an interview with METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich and filmed the band's January 21, 2010 performance at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires. Watch the footage below.
A policeman was injured and 120 people arrested when rioting broke out outside METALLICA's January 26, 2010 concert in Santiago, Chile, according to the Latin American Herald Tribune. Authorities said that most of the arrests were made when hundreds of fans who did not have tickets attempted to force their way into the Club Hipico horse-racing grounds to see the show, which was attended by a crowd of more than 50,000. Police colonel Miguel Angel Castro said, "A group of people tried to enter without tickets and Carabineros (militarized police) had to act, launching water."
Charges against those arrested included disorderly conduct, drug possession and drinking in public.
The gig was the sixth on METALLICA's current South American trek, which began on January 19 with the band's first-ever appearance in Lima, Peru. The crowd of 55,000 at that show was the biggest for a musical event in Peruvian history.
The group wraps the first leg of the jaunt this weekend in Brazil, resuming in early March with stops in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Venezuela, Panama and Colombia.

Morgan Harrington's death was a homicide, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond said Tuesday.The medical examiner's determination closes out speculation that she wandered away from Charlottesville and died of exposure on a chilly night.
A spokeswoman for the medical examiner's office said the office is not yet able to release information on how Harrington was killed.
Forensic experts say it could take weeks, or longer, to make that determination because of the decomposition of her body over the past three months. If, as her family believes, her body was left in the hayfield the night she disappeared, it has endured warm and cold weather, rain and snow storms and possibly the activity of animals and insects.
All of those factors could "make it a lot more difficult to determine the cause and manner of death," said Emil Moldovan, an adjunct instructor of criminal justice at Radford University and former death investigator in the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office.
For instance, Moldovan said, if Harrington were bludgeoned or shot to death, that might be readily apparent to examiners, but if she were strangled, there would be little evidence outside the possible fracture of the tiny hyoid bone in the neck. The skeletal and tissue remains also might not show any sign of a stabbing.
The announcement from the medical examiner's office comes as Harrington's family prepares to memorialize her Friday with a 3:30 p.m. Mass at St. Andrew's Catholic Church in Roanoke. The family plans a public reception afterward at the Hotel Roanoke.
