How 11 Metallica Shows Transformed One Fan’s Perspective on Time, Family, and Unstoppable Change — A Journey You Can’t Miss

On Metallica, Mortality, and Symmetry
Back in April I saw my eleventh Metallica concert. I don’t emphasize eleventh because it’s a remarkable achievement (there are many Metallica fans who’ve seen far more shows than me). I emphasize it because prior to the show, I sat down, wrote down all of their concerts I’d seen, and added them up.
Until this recent show, I’d been content to lose track. There was that show in Ionia, Michigan in 1994, Copps Coliseum in Hamilton (what year was that?, on the Load tour), the two-show weekend takeover in Chicago in 2024… I didn’t know how many, I just knew it was “a lot”. But it was for this show, seeing them in Syracuse, NY, that I felt compelled to keep count. Is it because I felt this show might be my last? Perhaps.
