Heroes of the Day

Metallica turn the ripe age of 30 this year and how is the world’s biggest metal band celebrating? With a concert, of course. Actually, four of them. The veteran band announced they’ll commemorate their glorious past with four special, fan-only shows at the Fillmore in San Francisco on December 5, 7, 9 and 10. To sweeten up the celebration, the group is offering ’80s pricing at just $6 per ticket or $19.81 for all four concerts (Get it – 1981?). These tickets are for fan club members only.
