"What everyone in the industry said will never happen, finally happened. Malaysia waited 31 years to see them live here, and it was certainly worth it. Metallica totally rocked Kuala Lumpur to its core with what will most likely be the concert of the year. To everyone who made this possible, all rock fans in Malaysia salute you. The performance was incredible, the production was outstanding, and the fans were simply brilliant. We loved it!!!! One down, three to go - Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax. Malaysia is waiting!!!

Malaysian Digest says Metallica will get more money for their 'Aidilfitri' concert. 'Untung' much?
Image via murai.com.myWith Metallica, the deal is reportedly 90-10, with 90% of the ticket sales going directly to Metallica, leaving the concert promoter having to sell 80% of the projected tickets just to break even.
malaysiandigest.comIt is however unclear why Galaxy would agree to a 90-10 deal especially when it means that they're profit would be considerably lower than bringing in other performers.
malaysiandigest.comMeanwhile, on the concert date being in the month of Syawal, Nasruddin said that it would be wise for concert promoters to choose dates that do not coincide with significant dates in the Muslim calendar. "It would be wiser to change the date of the concert."
Metallica performing in Malaysia for the very first time
Grammy-award winning trash metal band Metallica has added a Kuala Lumpur concert date to its Asian tour in August. The band is set to play at Stadium Merdeka on 21 Aug.
thestar.com.myMetallica SAYS:
"We've said it before...with more than 30 years of traveling around the world, there are very few places that we have yet to explore. So it's rather thrilling for us to be back with yet another first, a stop in Kuala Lumpur."
