In decembrie 2011, Metallica implineste 30 de ani de existenta. Momentul a fost sarbatorit, saptamana trecuta, prin patru concerte sustinute la Filmore (San Francisco), doar pentru membrii fan clubului Metallica. Primul spectacol a beneficiat de prezenta celor de la Apocalyptica, Diamond Head, precum si a fostului basist Metallica - Jason Newsted. Jason a devenit basist al trupei Metallica in 1986, dupa moartea lui Cliff Burton. A parasit trupa in 2001.
In 2012, Metallica va sustine un turneu in Europa, desi initial ar fi trebuit sa cante abia in 2013. Motivul devansarii turneului: criza monedei euro. O masura similara a fost luata si de Red Hot Chili Pepper (se stie ca cele doua trupe au acelasi impresar). Detalii aici despre ratiunile financiare din spatele devansarii concertelor sustine in Europa de trupele Metallica si RHCP.
Metallica - Rebel Of Babylon (versuri)
"Rebel grip your bottle tight
Just float away
Rebel is it hard to leave
What makes you stay?
Go take your poison ink
Sign life away
Then take your dirty spoon
And dig your grave
Dig your grave
Rebel grips the bottle tight
Just floats away
Rebel finds it hard to leave
What makes you stay?
He takes the poison ink
Signing life away
Then takes the dirty spoon
And digs his grave
Let this dark shine
Let this dark shine
Let it shine bright
Don't let it burn out tonight
Kill me one more time
Stigmata
Kill me one more time
Neo martyr
Gonna die young
Gonna live forever
Kill me one more time
Rise up
Rebel of Babylon
Renegade fights the fight
That no one wins
He claims a crown of thorns
To pierce the skin
He climbs his crucifix
And waits for dawn
Thinks they'll remember him
After he's gone
Let this dark shine
Let this dark shine
Let it shine bright
Don't let it burn out tonight
Kill me one more time
Stigmata
Kill me one more time
Neo martyr
Gonna die young
Gonna live forever
Kill me one more time
Rise up
Rebel of Babylon
Rise up
Rise up
Resurrection
The rebel fights the fight
That no one wins
To claim a crown of thorns
To pierce his skin
Climbs his crucifix
And waits for dawn
He looses consciousness
The myth lives on
Let this dark shine
Let this dark shine
Let it shine bright
Don't let it burn out tonight
Tonight
Kill me one more time
Stigmata
Kill me one more time
Neo martyr
Gonna die young
Gonna live forever
Kill me one more time
Rise up
Rebel of Babylon
Rise up
Rise up
Resurrection"
