Metallica in Concert in Rome

Our Blogger: Jona

Metallica is one of the greatest heavy metal bands in the world. From the beginning, with albums like Kill ‘Em All, and Master of the Puppets they became the face of a heavier, more aggressive rock that hooked immediately a whole generation of rock fans.

METALLICA2 A sad note that changed forever the story of the band is the demise of Cliff Burton who died when the band’s bus overturned in Sweden. Afterwards, the band was in the verge of separation, but with the help friends, Cliff’s family among them, they overcame the grief and began playing actively again.

Jason Newsted became the new bassist for the band, that still had many successful albums to come like Load, Reload and Death Magnetic. The band put back the heavy metal on its tracks after a decade of excess and manierism and gained almost instantly a place among the living rock legends of our time.

The band has a concert scheduled in Rome as a part of their World Magnetic-METALLICA European Style tour. The date is June 24th and the venue is the Palalottomatica Arena (where Bob Dylan will have a concert this year as well!)

A couple of great options to find accommodation are Yes Hotel and Hotel Des Artistes. Both are reasonably priced, and perfectly located to allow you to travel within the city with the public transportation system and to get the most of you staying.

Don’t hesitate to make a booking in any of these hotels!
