Metallica Releasing Live Albums For Every 2014 Show

Though we can name at least ten good reasons why they should hang it up for good, the Metallica machine keeps on grinding. And now the metal kings have announced plans to release every show they have done in 2014 as a live album.

Metallica were one of the earliest major acts to offer recordings of their shows for download shortly after they ended, but fans have been requesting CD versions of the recordings in the same vein as Pearl Jam’s early-2000s official bootleg CD series.

Every week, three shows from the band’s 2014 run are being released, in chronological order, with dates from Bogota, Columbia, Quito, Ecuador and Lima, Peru out now. Superfans who want the entire collection should wait to buy until the end of the year, when the band will release a 27 show box set including all of them. Additionally, vinyl fans will have the chance to vote on the four shows that they would like to see released early in 2015.
