Metallica's Guinness World Record

In the last thirty years, Metallica have played up their road-dog position by supplying their crazy tour names like ""Nowhere Else To Roam Tour" along with the "Poor Touring Me," nevertheless it appears someone has actually been keppeing track of their cartography. Guinness Record Book lately awarded the group with a plaque for remaining the very first and only band to tour all seven continents, an accomplishment they made real when they did a concert in Antarctica. The group will even be honored during the 60th anniversary edition of Guinness Environment Records 2015, which arrives out September 10th.


"Seven continents in a single calendar year with Antarctica currently being the gig of the lifetime...." James Hetfield stated inside a assertion. "Yes, one hundred twenty researchers and competition winners. As well as the three hundred really curious penguins!"

This calendar year, Metallica performed gigs equally in North and South America and Europe and at the moment don't have any tour dates prepared for that remainder of the year. Instead, they're focusing on writing the follow-up for their 2008 album Death Magnetic. They previewed the forthcoming album on their own tour this year with a new song titled "Lords of Summer," which they performed all through their multi-continental Metallica by Request tour. In April, Lars Ulrich estimated that the band was in the ending of their building of the new album.
