Metallica have officially announced the release of their 2019 S&M2 shows as a live album and concert film documentary, which will be available in a variety of formats on August 28th. They’ve also released two songs that will be featured on the album.
Metallica and San Francisco Symphony: S&M2 will feature songs from the performances, which took place on Sept. 6th and 8th of 2019 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. The concerts marked the 20th anniversary of their 1999 live album S&M. The sold out shows gave 40,000 fans the chance to see Metallica songs performed in a whole new light.
The upcoming release will be available on digital and streaming platforms, as well as vinyl, CD, DVD and Blu-Ray editions and two different box sets. The exclusive super deluxe box set is limited to only 500 copies, and include the real sheet music used during the performances that were signed by the members, in addition to other collectible items. View the trailer for the set below.

I’ve never understood why metal/rock bands perform with a symphony. IMO, Metallica stopped being a heavy metal thrash band after the “…Justice” album. I love Metallica’s music through the 80’s, before the “Blah-k” album, cuz of all the heavy riffage. To me, that’s what made Metallica great during that period. Hearing any of those great songs performed with a symphony totally “waters down” the heaviness of the music.
So bro, I guess this means you won’t be including any of these symphony songs in your Metallica top 20 in 2 weeks? 😉
Nope, not a single “One”. ;o)
My fave Metallica song is “Battery”. Dang, whatever happened to that Metallica, cuz today’s Metallica sure ain’t it anymore……
Funny, that is one of my favorites, as well. But, For Whom The Bell Tolls, is my favorite.
Good “One!” ^^^ 😉 My fave would be a toss up between “Master” and “Justice,” “Battery” – 5 or 6. “Bell” would be up there as well. 😉
Listened to the studio album minus S&M. So, I got my fave down, not in no order yet, but you can be sure there is nothing from Load, Reload and St Anger. I find nothing appealing there, the bulk of it will be from the first three albums. I also stay away from any covers they did.
Not sure but Four Horseman will be on top.still trying to get the order down. Oh, and nothing from Justice, not big fan of Metallica with no bass.
Charles, I’ll have a few songs from “Justice” on my list, but only live versions! Those songs (as with all Metallica songs) sound so much better live, particularly from “Justice,” – bass included! 😉
Wasn’t too fond of the black Album, since then I have liked Megadeth more.
You sound like Rattlehead 🙂 .
You’re right, Dana. :o). ….Charles’ opinions “mirror” mine. And to this day, no matter what clunker album Metallica puts out after the “blah-k album” (and IMO, they’ve all been clunkers from this once mighty thrash titan band), they continue to ride the coat tails of the commercial success of the “blah-k album”.
But,. unlike Charles, I love “…Justice”, even though Jason got no “justice” on that album. :o)
Rattle,
I am surprised you don’t call it the “Hack Album?” 😉
D 🙂
I did like some songs of last two current albums, I couldn’t be the only “One.”
