Thank you for listening to the podcast. I had the idea for the podcast a while ago to talk to people who I have met in my travels, about their inspiring and amazing lives. I remember always going to see Henry Rollins do his spoken word tours and being inspired about his stories and life motto. Travel the world, be creative- play music, draw or paint. Have an opinion but respect others, keep fit and healthy. Born and raised in Newcastle Australia now living in Shanghai China.

    Jason Aird - Metallica announce Australian tour November 2025

    Finally, after 12 years of waiting (cancelled tour in 2019), Metallica announced last month that they will tour Australia and New Zealand next November 2025, in support of their 72 Seasons album.  The sold out tour will take in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland NZ. Who better to get on the podcast than our resident Metallica guru Jason Aird. Jason has just come back from a tour of Mexico City and we break down the Australian tour. Will this be the last time Metallica play in Australia? Why only one show in each city? Why no full stage setup? Why only 15 songs in the set? We finish off by talking about the best Metallica shows we have seen. Jason- Sydney 1989, Newcastle 1998, 30th Anniversary shows 2011, S&M 1999 S&M2 2022, Orion Festival 2012/2013, Jonny Zazula Tribute Show 2022. Craig- Newcastle 1998, 30th Anniversary Show 2011, Glendale 2008, Yankee Stadium Big 4 2011, Melbourne 2004. What's your favourite Metallica show you have been to? https://tellcraigyourstory.podbean.com https://www.linktr.ee/tellcraigyourstory @tellcraigyourstory #metallica #australiantour #tellcraigyourstory #jasonaird #mexicocity #jameshetfield #larsulrich #kirkhammett #robtrujillo #72seasons #newzealand #S&M #big4 #heavymetal #onenightonly #M72worldtour #norepeat #yankeestadium #metclub #metclublegacy #fifthmember
