They brought us fuel, they brought us fire, and now Metallica has truly brought their fans what they desired, another world tour. The Death Magnetic world tour kicked off March 28 in London, England and Metallica will be touring until the middle of December. All things considered, this tour is similar to previous Metallica tours, but nonetheless impressive for the legendary grouping of James, Lars, Kirk, Robert. Although there have been a few member changes in the past, they still manage to bring the rock every show. Be ready when tickets go on sale, they won't be available for long -- expect the clan of Metallica fans to snatch them up quickly.
