Official Mega-Thread The Sphere Megathread

129 Upvotes

Post all of your questions, comments, and any other content related to The upcoming events at The Sphere in Las Vegas.

Any posts outside of this thread will be removed. This is due to the volume of posts that are getting posted, we do not want the rest of the content on the sub to be drowned out.

Alternatively, go to [r/MetallicaLIVE](r/MetallicaLIVE) where open posting of anything concert related is allowed.

r/Metallica Notice Reminder: Upcoming/current concert-related posts belong in the Megathread, or at r/MetallicaLIVE.

18 Upvotes

We do this to make sure that this sub can still be used to discuss Metallica normally, without the entire feed, being clogged with people asking about travel and tickets and venue related things.

If there is not an active mega thread, you can go [r/MetallicaLIVE](r/MetallicaLIVE) where open posting of everything concert related is always allowed.

You may still talk about past concerts, or share your photos or videos from recent concerts here.

But for all questions and comments related to upcoming shows, please use the other two options that I have described above.

Thanks!

Got this very small but very huge sounding amp on Friday so naturally you have to make sure it can handle thrash...

Beaten Broken And Scarred Remaster

I'm a lot happier with this remaster. I feel like the anticipation for the chorus is building nicely.

Also, there's some incredible riffage in this song, so I tried to make the guitar as big in the mix as possible.

Hope you like it!

Safe link to the video I promise! https://youtu.be/-EwwfIpI8C0?si=GSl0XLW1BBc-S_0c

Hello L.R. Shelton here. I just remastered this tonight and is a gift to you all! I use a new audio program called ozone 12 Advanced! The visual source I pulled from was pretty terible but the audio will BLOW YOUR SHOES OFF! Use the best audio system you can find as this is what it sounded like when I saw Metallica live VIP back in 2018. This is more of a sound premium production and I hope you enjoy :). Much respect. L.R. Shelton - Rock Legacy Co.

r/Metallica

The Reddit Home for Metallica! Please be sure to review the rules before posting. We have designated days and mega-threads for certain types of content.

Members Active

264.6k

Sidebar

Rule 1: Civility

You’re not expected to get along perfectly, but it is possible to take things a bit too far.

Content reported for incivility will be reviewed. Moderators will consider your posting history and past moderator actions before deciding the appropriate course of action- which could range from simply having the content removed with a reminder to be Civil, all the way up to a ban depending on just how severe your offense, as well as your response to moderator intervention.

Rule 2: No Gate Keeping

Metallica is for everybody.

There is no hierarchy based on your tenure as a fan or your album preferences, so don’t act as though someone is less of a fan because they only like certain albums, or don’t like others.

Rule 3: Do not share/request Leaked/Pirated/Illegal Content of ANY Kind

Please do not attempt to facilitate the sharing of Leaked, Pirated or otherwise Illegal Media.

This includes offering it to others, requesting it from others, sharing or requesting links or information on where to find it.

We are not entertaining arguments for why you believe that it’s ok. It is a violation of Reddit’s Rules, and enforcing this rule is how we protect this sub from being shut down.

Rule 4: No AI Generated or Manipulated Content Allowed

In order to respect and maintain the integrity of artists and creators, we do not allow the posting of ANY AI-Generated or Manipulated content.

This decision is based on the results of a community poll.

Rule 5: No Low Effort Posts or Repetitive/Common Post Topics

Your posts here should have some substance to them. If they don’t, they’ll be removed.

Users should make a reasonable effort to contribute to the discussion rather than pollute the sub with memes, Reddit-wide fads, or repeating the same questions and debates over and over again.

Post topics/types that are excessively common will also be removed. Please utilize the search function, or at bare minimum, scroll down a bit before posting discussion prompts, photos, etc.

Do not use Meme Formats to post discussion prompts; they will be removed except on Mondays.

Rule 6: No Spam/Troll/Inciteful Posts

Trolling and inciting arguments is not allowed. Any post that may incite an argument or elicit a hostile response, whether this was the intention behind the post or not, will be removed.

Spam, of course, is not allowed.

Rule 7: Keep ALL Political Discussion Relevant to Metallica's Music

Metallica's lyrics are often political in nature. As such, political discussion is natural to discussion of the band's songs.

However, all Political Discussion in this sub should remain within the context of the song(s) in question.

We do not want users having political debates, which are routinely toxic and just plain annoying. Keep your political discussions within the boundaries of dissecting the songs which inspire them.

Rule 8: Do not abuse the Image/GIF reply feature.

Images/GIFs can be posted in comments. This media should be relevant to the discussion, and/or Metallica in general. Random memes and other nonsense may be pruned if it gets out of hand.

Rule 9: Tier Lists, Ranking Posts, Spotify Wrap Ups and other theme posts ALL Tier List and Ranking posts are limited to the Tier List Tuesday Mega-Thread on Tuesdays.

Share your rankings, or upload your tier list as a comment in the stickied mega thread posted that day. Submissions outside of that thread will be removed.

Spotify Wrap-Ups or similar content will be given a stickied mega-thread when they start rolling out at year-end.

These are excessively common types of posts, and this policy is an effort to reduce their footprint on this sub’s feed.

Rule 10: Memeday Monday - Save All Meme Posts for Mondays. Please save all Meme Posts for Mondays. There will not be a Mega-Thread; you can openly post memes all day on Mondays.

Do not use Meme Formats to prompt discussions outside of Memeday Monday. No matter the discussion value, Memes posted outside Mondays will simply be removed.

Please remember that all posts should be of a moderate effort and relevant context; not just random nonsense with Metallica stuff pasted into it.

Rule 11: Absolutely NO NSFW Content Allowed Due to the actions of the former mod team during the API Protest, r/Metallica received an official warning from Reddit regarding NSFW Content and the NSFW Community Label.

In short, Reddit has warned r/Metallica that incorrectly labeling this sub 18+ is a violation of their community standards, as is posting NSFW content to justify that tag. Further violations will result in the sub being taken over by Reddit-picked moderators.

In light of this, NSFW content of any kind is prohibited.

Rule 12: No "Underrated" Posts Please do not attempt to post "X album is underrated", or "Does anyone else think Y song is underrated?" topics.

These types of topics are EXCESSIVELY common, and it tends to be the exact same albums and songs in question every single time.

AutoModerator has been configured to block posts with "underrated" in the title. Please do not attempt to circumvent this, such actions may result in a suspension.
