Perth concert turns dangerous as fans scale Metallica production tower
How crazy would you be able to go for your favorite band? Well, if you ask me I would do some pretty crazy stuff, but reamining very well within the legal side of things. Not down under, apparently, as two Metallica fans were detained and charged with trespassing after attending the band’s performance in Perth, Australia, on Saturday, November 1. As reported by theprp, during the band’s performance at the Optus Stadium, the two men, who were identified as 20 and 23 years old, were reportedly apprehended while trying to climb a central tower of the stage production. They were both taken into custody and removed from the scene of the event. Below is video of the two criminals making their way back down the tower and being put into the custody of the police:
“No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All” is a colossal celebration of the most propulsive debut album in heavy metal history, re-imagined by the legends who inspired it and the generations that came in its wake!
The veteran likes of Saxon, Diamond Head, and Motörhead, (three of Metallica’s favourite bands) are joined by rising stars such as Tailgunner and Swedish prog metallers Soen to create a who’s-who of heavy music, with each performer lending their unique sound to one classic track. Contributions from thrash giants Testament, ex-Megadeth bassist David Ellefson, and New Wave of British Heavy Metal linchpins Tygers of Pan Tang show the label looking beyond their own artists to amass the greatest lineup possible. Joining the super star line-up are the legendary Raven (closing with the thundering anthemic “Metal Militia”) who were part of Metallica’s first-ever tour, 1983’s famous Kill ‘Em All For One venture.
“No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute to Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All” is an ambitious achievement worthy of Metallica’s game-changing legacy.
