Metallica wrapped up their 2-year long World Magnetic Tour on Sunday, with the third of three shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena.
The numbers are impressive...Metallica issued the following tour summary: "The World Magnetic tour crossed 45 countries, 143 arena shows, 34 festival shows, 29 stadium shows, 4 club/theater shows, three tv/radio shows, two hall of fame shows, 3790 songs, and not a single setlist was the same."
That's 216 shows in 992 days. The tour opened with a European promo show on September 12, 2008 in Berlin, and hit virtually every corner of the globe.

Metallica are addressing an incident that happened at their November 11th concert in Sydney where guitarist Kirk Hammett accidentally knocked a little girl over by kicking a beachball that struck her. On their website, the band wrote, “In the wacky world of rock n’ roll, sometimes stuff happens which looks even weirder than it really is.” The post goes on to explain that it was all an accident and that Kirk just didn’t see the girl, who is the daughter of the band’s stage manager. She wasn’t hurt and is still friends with Kirk. There’s even a photo of the rocker with the girl on the site. Check it out at Metallica.com.
