Since they formed in 1981, San Francisco Bay Area band Metallica have gone from an underground heavy metal band to one of the most successful acts in the world, with an intensely loyal fan base. Metallica will return to Portland after four and half years to the Rose Garden on Saturday, November 1st.
Sales of Metallica's albums (including 10 full-length albums, and one e.p.) total over 93 million copies worldwide (with over 50 million coming in North America alone), and have earned gold and/or platinum certifications in over forty countries. The Black album has earned the prestigious RIAA Diamond Award (for sales of 10 million copies in the U.S.). Metallica's St. Anger charted at #1 in 30 countries, and has sold 5 million records worldwide. In addition, a live box set release (containing over eight hours of live music and video), retailing at over $80, has sold over 1 million units worldwide, making it the biggest selling box set of its kind in history.
Metallica have garnered numerous awards and accolades throughout the world over their career, including 7 Grammy Awards, 2 American Music Awards, 2 MTV Video Music Awards, a VH-1 Award, the ESPN Action Sports and Music Artist Contribution Award for 2001, over 30 California Music Awards, the 2004 NARAS San Francisco Governor's Award, the MTV: ICON award of 2003 and most recently, the ASCAP Creative Voice award for 2004.
When it comes to touring, there are few, if any, bands who deliver live the way Metallica do. Their shows, which began in clubs and garages in the early eighties, are now selling out in arenas and stadiums throughout the world, and continue to be among the most intense, powerful and visually stimulating concert experiences ever delivered. The most impressive achievement that bears mentioning is the fact that Metallica continue to be a strong attraction in the touring world; a truly rare feat in today's mercurial entertainment business, where fans often change allegiance to bands as often as they do hairstyles.
