Metallica North American Tour Dates

Looks as if Lamb Of God either thought it would be a cool opportunity to have a great time with Metallica and/or rake in some cash (Can’t blame them really), or the source that told us all that they turned down the tour was full of shit. Either way, it doesn’t really matter. Things can change in the Metal world as we all know. A band can release a new album and the same week break up (Byzantine…wtf? Dudes?). Looks as if Machine Head and The Sword (who are an amazing live show..SEE THEM!) got another opportunity to jump on with Metallica as well. Oh yeah…and Down’s gonna be in there Somewhere too.
