It could end up being three days, it could just be one. If it ends up staying in Atlantic City, who knows, it could move.
Metallica ride the lightning live orion festival 2012 movie#
It'll be a fun place to be and hang and see some of the other things that are going to be happening, whether it's a car show or the movie tent that Lars is doing or Kirk's haunted mansion. But I don't know when.Ī: I would love it to be an annual thing and become an established festival that people can come to and know it's going to be good, no matter what. I'm looking forward to making the next record. We're writing here and there, touring, doing the festival thing. I'm grateful that it was captured.Ī: You tell me. I didn't know what had just happened to me in my life. I was like a piece of raw meat walking around. We thought we might as well put it out there in a form that's something we can trust. Q: Did you ever regret how much access you gave the filmmakers in Some Kind of Monster, which was made when you were in rehab?Ī: No. 'Thank God, you're standing up,' and 'Go get 'em.' But as soon as we called them out for some support, they were hiding in the shadows, and we were out their on our own. We would have lot of artists coming up and saying. I think the Europeans are able to look at a festival more as an event than 'my favorite band is playing.' We're not necessarily trying to reproduce that in the States, but we'd like to bring a little taste of that here. Why wouldn't you? We're just trying to bring a little more of a mix to what is going on. Question: Why'd you want to do your own festival?Īnswer: First of all, because we can. In a phone interview last month before a show in Oslo, Norway, Hetfield talked about his hopes for Orion, why the ancillary attractions include a custom car show ("I like working with metal," he deadpanned) and whether the band regretted exposing itself so openly in the 2004 rock documentary Some Kind of Monster.
(See accompanying article.) The festival is a collaboration between Metallica and C3 Presents of Austin, Texas, who put on Lollapalooza in Chicago, and they plan to make Orion an annual event in Atlantic City. Orion's lineup ranges from metal must-sees like Sepultura to indie band Best Coast to country tough guy Eric Church. The thunderous San Francisco Bay-area quartet of front man James Hetfield, guitarist Kirk Hammett, bass player Robert Trujillo, and drummer Lars Ulrich will perform their album Ride the Lightning (1984) on Saturday and Metallica (1991), also known as the Black Album, on Sunday.
This weekend at Bader Field in Atlantic City, heavy-hitting metal band Metallica headlines the inaugural Orion + More Festival, a two-day event featuring 40 acts.
